Alexander POV
It was hard for me to not stare at Emily. I was in awe; she was so beautiful and strong, and she was mine!
Breakfast went down smoothly, and at least I didn’t make a fool out of myself. It was difficult to keep my cool and not to openly drool.
Everything about Emily had me compelled. Her scent was like a siren calling me with a silent melody I could only hear; her beautiful, full, rosy lips were memorizing, and I constantly drowned in her serious ocean-blue eyes.
I stole glances every now and again, taking mental pictures.
I couldn’t help tracing her beautiful face inside my mind. She didn’t have a clue how much I struggled not to be able to touch her. I burned at the need to hold her in my arms and bury myself inside of her.
Ghost purred in my mind-he was happy to be close to our mate, and he couldn’t wait for Emily to show her wolf.
Yet Ghost was constantly trying to link up with Emily’s wolf, and the more he tried, the more frustrated he became.
“She refuses to remove the block,” Ghost whined. “I just can’t understand why she doesn’t want to talk with me.”
“I think Emily instructed her not to,” I said. “Let her be; you will get your opportunity to link up with her wolf.”
“It better be soon!” Ghost growled. “I waited long enough for her.”
“So did I, buddy,” I said. “So did I.”
I never blamed Ghost for keeping me from marking Emily that night, yet I couldn’t help wondering if things might have turned out differently if I had.
Would we have had a pup by now?
What would the pup have looked like? Would the pup have had Emily’s eyes and her beautiful smile?
Would we’ve been a happy couple?
My thoughts trailed off, deeper and deeper into what-ifs, and it sort of made me frustrated and miserable.
We could have been happily married by now! Emily could have been by my side as Luna!
“Mate wants to see the pack training schedule and techniques,” Ghost mused, bringing me back to my presence. He was sitting in silence watching us interact, and even though he tried to take control of me a few times, I managed to hold him off. “Should we go down to the training camp and show her how strong we are?”
“Do you think that would impress her?” I asked, wondering.
“I think she might see it as a challenge,” Ghost said.
“You think?” I cut him off, and a small, teasing smile followed on my lips. “I wouldn’t mind seeing her in action. We both know she is trained to use her abilities.”
I just wasn’t sure how well she was trained to use those abilities.
I had started reading some of the old books explaining how to unlock my abilities, yet some seemed impossible. I needed guidance, and I was hoping Emily could show and teach me.
“Neither would I,” Ghost mused. “She is strong, but I am not sure how strong!”
“Do you think she would like to do some sparing?” I asked, hopeful.
“Yeah, she might even surprise all of us,” Ghost mused.
“Sure,” I said, moving my attention back to Emily and stretching my hand out to her to take.
I wasn’t sure if she would dare take my hand. She was very careful not to touch me.
“Such a gentleman,” Emily said, chuckling under her breath, and surprisingly, she placed her hand in mine.
“Oh, my goddess!” I sighed, satisfied, when the electric sparks moved between our hands.
“She is not holding back.” Ghost mused excitedly. “That’s a start in the right direction.”
It was one small step for Emily and one huge leap for me.
“F*ck,” I internally moaned, intoxicated.
I was enjoying the electric spark feeling wherever our skin touched. I became a prisoner at will, enjoying the sweet torture of holding her hand. It was even more potent than I could remember.
“This must be what heaven feels like!” I sighed happily.
“This is better than heaven!” Ghost yapped happily.
Everything happened so fast. One second, I was still daydreaming like a teenager over his first crush. The next second, my arm was pinned behind my back, and I moaned out loud.
“What the f*ck just happened?” A ghost yapped out, bewildered.
We had never been caught off guard like this before.
“I don’t know,” I said. “I just got distracted for a second.”
Ghost rolled his eyes at me, annoyed.
“She’s clever,” he commented. “Good luck getting yourself out of this one.”
“Never lose focus,” Emily mused behind me, and I shivered, feeling her move closer and her hot breath fanning the side of my face.
I kept still, enjoying the warmth the sparks provided between us-that was until I felt her accidentally brush her breast against my back.
My cock twitched, and I swallowed hard. There was no way I could prevent this. I was about to have a full-blown erection inside my pants.
“F*ck!” I internally swore, with Ghost laughing his ass off at me. If Emily doesn’t step away from me soon, I will lose control and f*ck her here and now. We will never leave this office until we are both satisfied.
I tried to think of something else, which didn’t work, and my boxers became soaked with my pre-come.
I need to warn her.
“Emily,” I said, my voice husky and low. “If you don’t let go of my arm, neither of us will be leaving this office anytime soon.”
Emily’s breath hitched, scenting my arousal, and she slowly let go of my arm, taking a quiet and calculated step back.
The office suddenly fell silent.
Was my arousal affecting her?
“Did you break her?” Ghost growled, getting to his feet, worried.
“I haven’t done anything,” I argued, yet I could hear Emily’s heart racing.
Emily’s sweet arousal hit my nose, causing Ghost to go wild inside my mind.
I pushed him aside and blocked him off. The wall between us would only last a minute or two, just long enough to get everything under control again.
I turned my attention back to Emily, listening. Her arousal had filled the room, overpowering mine. It was so sweet that I licked my lips; it made me hungry to have her, feel her, and hear her little moans while I pleasured and f*cked her.
“Do you want me, little mate?” I asked, my voice husky and full of lust. “Do you want me to please you? F*ck you?”
When no answer slipped through her lips, I slowly turned around to face her.
Emily stood frozen in her spot, her face flustered red and her eyes shifting between black and blue.
Was she fighting her wolf to keep control?
Did she have the same problem as I did?
Seconds ticked by, and I started to get worried. Wasn’t she strong enough to control her wolf?
I took a step closer, cupped Emily’s face in my hands, and lifted her head to meet mine.
“I will never force you to do anything against your will, Emily,” I whispered to her. “That I promise you.”
Emily slowly closed her eyes, taking a deep and calculated breath.
“Thank you,” she whispered after a moment, opening her eyes.
“Come on,” I said, taking her hand and kissing the top of her finger. “Let me go show you our gymnasium; it is much bigger than it used to be. I think you would love and appreciate it.”
Emily nodded, and we headed to the door in silence.
I never expected to get a whipping from my mate and learn so much about her in one afternoon.
