“Thank you, Ms. Bridget,” Alpha Lake, said, opening the lid up of a container.
“Oh, please, it’s just a bento, I didn’t have the strength to cook anything tonight. So don’t worry, it wasn’t stressful,” Ms. Bridget said, smiling.
“It’s still going to be yummy, so, thanks,” Audrey smiled at the woman.
Ms. Bridget smiled warmly at her. She was happy seeing Audrey and Alpha Lake finally start to get comfortable beside each other, they seemed like they were getting along just fine. But she wished they would stop denying the sizzling hot chemistry between them, it’ll do them some good to accept their feelings for each other.
“Want me to feed you, kitten?” Alpha Lake asked and took his fork to feed Audrey.
“No! I’ve got hands, and, don’t call me that in front of people…” Audrey subtly jerked her head towards Ms. Bridget.
“Ooh!” Alpha Lake acted surprised like he was truly surprised by the news.
“Yeah!” Audrey slowly nodded her head, playing along with him.
“Ok, how about when no one’s around?” Alpha Lake asked.
“Stop talking, you’re giving people the wrong ideas about us,” Audrey said, embarrassed.
Now, she was sure Ms. Bridget would believe that she was just bluffing when she said she’d never mate with him. Damn him.
“Don’t worry, dear, I gave myself all the ideas I have, you wouldn’t believe them if I told you,” Ms. Bridget flashed her a smile and carried her tray into the kitchen.
Alpha Lake smirked at Audrey’s blushing cheeks.
“Okay, Kitten, I’ll behave,” He purposely whispered into her ear, taking his hand underneath the dining table and placing it on her thigh.
“Hey!”
Audrey jerked from the sudden contact, pushing down a knife from the table, she was wearing a short pajama pant, and his hand was placed dangerously close to her coochie, and the moment his skin touched hers, her pussy twitched and she felt her sleek hot juice start to flow down her opening.
“What are you doing?!” Audrey whisper-yelled.
“Behaving myself, Kitten,” His tone turned down an octave lower as he whispered against the side of her face.
Audrey tried to nudge him away from her side, but he suddenly palmed her pussy, shocking Audrey.
“What the f-”
“Shh!” He placed a finger against her lips and leaned dangerously closer to her; his target was her neck and he got it.
He kissed her neck, creating goosebumps on her skin with the mad combination of his tongue and teeth.
“Behave yourself too, Kitten, or I’ll be forced to pleasure you all night,” He said huskily against her neck.
Audrey’s brain had stopped functioning; she didn’t know how to form coherent words anymore; she just sat still, her breath shallow. She gripped the fork in her hand tightly, like it was her only savior.
He had only meant to tease her, but the thought of really pleasing her tonight became vivid in his mind. He decided to make it a reality.
His dick was already hard as it could get, straining against his pants, even though he knew he couldn’t fuck her because of her wound, he knew he would feel heavenly just by doing her right.
He had promised he wouldn’t go easy on her at the company, and he wasn’t one to go back on his words.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let you stress your wound, you’ll just have to lie on your back and spread those long and sexy legs for me. Just let this Alpha please you, Kitten,” He whispered seductively and ran the tip of his tongue up and down her exposed neck.
Audrey felt the last shred of her will crumble and joined the knife on the floor; she slowly turned her face to him; none of them said anything, just looking each other in the eyes, each lost in their gaze.
They felt everything around them disappear, leaving them in a world that had only them and their burning-hot desires.
Nobody knew who moved first, but their lips drew closer, they were just a breath away from each other, and the moment the gap was getting closed, the kitchen door opened, startling Audrey.
She moved away from him and swiftly removed his hand that was cupping her hot pussy.
Alpha Lake didn’t flinch; he casually moved away and relaxed against his chair, eating his food as if nothing had happened.
“Are you alright, Audrey? I heard you scream and something falling, what happened?” Ms. Bridget asked in concern.
“She’s alright, she was just carried away with the sweetness… of the food, so she mistakenly flipped the knife over, right, Kitten?” He asked, staring at her with a dark promise.
“Ah, yes, the bento Is so so delicious, Mama. I love it,” Audrey said, hoping she sounded convincing enough.
“I see…” That was all Ms. Bridget said.
Ms. Bridget quietly walked over to them, picked the knife up, placed it back on the table, and quietly walked out of the house.
“It’s obvious, she didn’t buy our story,” Audrey rubbed her temple and sighed.
“Hm, it’s obvious we can’t keep our hands to ourselves,” Alpha Lake winked at her.
“Fuck off,” Audrey said and hurriedly gulped her water and left the table.
“Where are you going?” Alpha Lake asked, but he was ignored.
He stood up and went to help her up the stairs.
“I’m fine,” Audrey insisted.
“You’re wounded,” Alpha Make said, holding her arm.
“Is it that bad?” Alpha Lake asked as they reached her door.
“What?” Audrey didn’t know what he was talking about.
“Is being with me really that bad to you?” Alpha Lake asked, his tone soft.
Audrey sighed. Honestly, she couldn’t answer that question. Remembering the conversation she had with Avery and Selena earlier made her unable to.
She didn’t want to feel like she was always using her sob story as a defense mechanism, and at the same time, she couldn’t not use it against him.
She stood in front of her door and looked at the same man who had given her hell, or wasn’t he the same person? Why was he so nice to her now?
But one thing she knew was it was going to take a lot for her to fully forgive him.
“I don’t know, Lake. Goodnight,” She replied and softly shut her door, leaving him standing outside.
Alpha Lake sighed, he was getting more frustrated with each passing day.
He wanted to know what he had done to Audrey that made her walls so hard to break, and the resentment he felt from her always left him on edge like he knew she knew how he wronged her but chose to play nonchalant.
He thought back to the first day he saw her in his gala with Mr. Russell, and he admitted that they did start on the wrong note because he had thought she was Audrey, plus he still hadn’t known the truth about Audrey. But, he couldn’t seem to find anything worth causing the hatred and resentment he felt from her.
Yes, she reacted to him, but he believed it was only because of the mate bond, which she was still unaware of; he was scared about her finding out, and he knew she would reject him in less than a second.
He tossed, and turned in his bed, wishing she was there with him.
Tomorrow was going to be very hectic for him, and he had to tackle some issues and get everything under control before the full moon approached.
Audrey held her blanket under her chin as she stared blankly at the roof. Her mind was filled with the thoughts of Alpha Lake, and she felt guilty thinking about him when her cousin was locked up in a room all by herself.
She knew they wouldn’t do anything to her without the Alpha’s orders, but she still worried about her.
Thinking about the Alpha left her mind in a very dirty and rotten gutter.
She really wished she wasn’t faking to be wounded, she would have taken him up on his offer, and by now, she would have been wreathing with wave after wave of pleasure.
The way he said those erotic promises with his deep, dark, and sexy voice kept playing in her mind making her rub her legs together.
She was very tempted to touch herself, but she knew it was a tough risk; she might not be able to keep her scent masked while she orgasmed; that was the debt she paid for masking her wolf scent.
‘Hmm, someone’s horny’ Selena said.
Audrey was shocked and puzzled, why was Selena being so shameless with her words today?
‘Avery asked me to say it since she can’t talk right now, and, well… I wanted to say it too,’ Selena added.
“Just go away,” Audrey said and turned to her side, hugging a pillow to herself.
‘He’s just a door away,’ Selena said again.
“Shut up,” Audrey said exasperatedly.
She was glad when she didn’t hear Selena’s voice anymore.
She sighed and fished her phone out from beneath her pillow.
Audrey: “Does he have a sibling?”
She hoovered her thumb over the send button, she felt like she was delving into something private, but she was really curious to find out. She felt something off with that relationship.
She bit her lips in determination and finally hit the button, sending the text to Ms. Bridget.
Within a minute, a reply was sent to her.
Mama: “Not that I know of…?”
Audrey smiled, even though she was disappointed by the reply, thinking about how Ms. Bridget would have carefully scrolled through her emojis to select the befitting one made her chuckle.
Fine, another investigation added to her piles of investigation.
She couldn’t wait for tomorrow to come…
