Audrey paused and turned to him.
“I’ll be lying if I say I’m not curious. But, I wouldn’t want to cross the line and pry into your matter. So, I’d rather not know.” Audrey replied calmly. But deep down she was dying with curiosity.
She wanted to know who Janeth was and why she was trying so hard to look like her, she wanted to understand what Janeth meant when she mentioned Andrew and the Alpha having a crush on her, and she wanted to understand why he hated her(Audrey) so much.
She wanted to understand a lot of things about him.
Alpha Lake watched her as she turned her back to him to finish what she was doing. He wasn’t going to lie to himself anymore; he felt stung each time Audrey mentioned she wasn’t interested in anything about him.
Strangely, he wanted her to care about him, be interested in him.
“But, I’ll tell you anyway.” His voice sounded close behind her.
Audrey felt him come up behind her, her heart missed a beat for a second, and then started beating erratically.
He went up behind her and placed his hands beside her on the kitchen counter, caging her. He made the rules, he’ll break the rules.
“I told you not to touch me,” Audrey said.
“In front of people,” He reminded her.
Rendering her speechless.
Audrey could feel the smirk in his voice. He lowered his head to her neck and sniffed deeply; Lavenders? He wasn’t sure if he was still in his right senses, why did he just imagine that it was Audrey who was between his hands and not Catherine, was that why he scented her lavender smell? He was sure it wasn’t from the flowers in the living room because this one came directly from the person in front of him.
What was happening to him now? It felt like there was an unknown force, drawing him to her.
He ran his nose up and down the side of her neck, loving the feel of her soft skin on his.
‘Mark her,’ Regal said.
“Hnng~ahh!” Audrey moaned softly as she felt him suck on her tattoo.
He sucked, he licked and kissed her neck, the feel of his tongue on her skin sending shivers down her body.
He cupped her breasts from behind, softly fondling her juicy mounds through her shirt, pinching her hard nipples.
He’d been dying to hold her in his arms all day, and now, he could not contain himself and his wolf.
“You confuse me, little kitten,” He whispered hoarsely.
He put his hand on her neck but didn’t apply any pressure, just using it to hold her head to him.
“I want to learn everything about you, Catherine. You confuse me.” He confessed.
Audrey’s body was rapidly heating up, her breathing turning shallow, and her wolf was just a second away from taking over.
She knew it was time she put an end to whatever it was that was going on, but, instead of doing that, she hooked her arms around his neck and rocked her behind into his hips, slowly grinding her butt against his evident arousal.
“Fuck. Kitten,” He rasped out, holding her waist to draw her closer; as if there was any space left between them.
He was barely hanging on the last thread of sanity he had, and here she was driving him crazy with her actions.
He couldn’t control it anymore, he felt his eye darken and his fangs threatened to shoot out.
He closed his eyes to gain some control because, he knew there was no escaping; if his fangs came out, he would mark her instantly.
‘Do it!’ Regal pushed on.
Alpha Lake expertly turned her around and lifted her onto the kitchen counter, wrapping her legs behind him.
“You don’t know what you’re asking for, Kitten.” He looked into her mesmerizing green eyes, caressing the sides of her face with his fingers.
“Then show me, Alpha,” Audrey said seductively, daring him. Alpha Lake felt some kind of power possess him when heard what she had called him.
He smiled down at her, looking at her plump tempting lips.
He was convinced she was just pretending not to care about him, he was sure she wanted to know why they called him Alpha.
He liked the way she said it, it turned him on.
“What did you just call me?” He asked heatedly.
“Alph…” Alpha Lake suddenly covered her lips with his own, not letting her finish, he didn’t have the patience, he needed her.
He kissed her with an urgency he didn’t know he was capable of, he placed his hand behind her head and deepened the kiss, enjoying the newfound taste of her sweet mouth.
This was now his addiction. He wasn’t going to try fighting anything anymore, he knew he couldn’t control it, even if he tried.
Audrey gave him access to the crevices of her mouth, relishing the way his tongue mingled with hers and explored her mouth.
She put her arms around his neck and drew him closer, tightening her leg around him.
“You’re mine, kitten. Mine.” He proclaimed dominantly.
“Mmph,” Audrey moaned as he dived back into her mouth, devouring her soul with a single kiss.
“I’m sorry, excuse me. I have to take that. Um, here’s your food.” Audrey untangled herself from him and pushed a bowl of soup into his hands.
She bashfully put her stray hair behind her ear and moved away from him. She took her ringing phone from the table and left the kitchen.
Alpha Lake stood there, not understanding what just transpired between them.
“What just happened?” He asked his wolf.
‘You delayed. That’s what happened, we almost had her.’ Regal said bitterly and went completely silent after that.
Alpha Lake looked from the bowl in his hand to the door.
He would have loved to eat the other kind of food that just ran out on him a few seconds ago.
He sighed and walked out of the kitchen.
“Yes sir, I remember.” He heard Audrey say from the living room, even though she didn’t put her phone on speaker, he heard Mr. Russell’s voice audibly without stress.
He wondered why he would be calling her by that time of the day.
Yes, he was her boss, but she wasn’t currently working for him, so why was he calling her without his permission?
He angrily dropped his bowl of soup on the dining table and marched towards Audrey and snatched the phone away from her hand, ending the call instantly.
“What the hell!” Audrey angrily stood from the sofa, stretching her hand before her.
“Give it back!” She tapped her foot impatiently on the floor.
“No?” He raised his hand above his head, using his height advantage over her.
“Fine.” Audrey tipped her toes, stretching her body to meet his hand, but she could only reach his elbow.
“How about you beg me, Shorty?” Alpha Lake smirked, standing on his tippy toes to get her phone farther away from her reach.
“Never!” Audrey jumped, but he dodged, chuckling at her cute antics.
“Come on, shorty. Is that all you’ve got?” He teased her.
Audrey was more than read to hypnotize him, but, it wasn’t worth it. It was just a phone.
So, she kept jumping, and he kept dodging, she kept jumping and he kept dodging, until she lost her footing and almost fell face flat to the floor;
“Uh-uh!” Audrey exclaimed when she saw that she was falling to the hard floor.
But, Alpha Lake was quick to catch her and they both landed on the sofa; with him on top of her.
“You could have just said you wanted me on top of you, Kitten.” Alpha Lake said close to her ears.
“Get up, you monster!” Audrey pushed against his chest but he held her to himself tightly.
“Pervet! You’re the one that wants me underneath you!” She accused him.
Knowing him; he would not like the idea of being the one that is pinning for a female first; a human female.
She was sure her release was seconds away.
“Yes. So?” He replied smoothy, adjusting himself comfortably above her.
“What?!” Audrey asked hopelessly.
