12. The Deal

Book:The Alpha's Possession Published:2025-2-8

Alexander’s pov:
Jade kept challenging me and pushing all my buttons ever since I decided to have a word with her. I had just wanted to know why she was avoiding me but her answer made me see red. It took me several seconds, and a lot of willpower, to let her go back out there without marking her as mine for all to see.
I wanted her to bear my mark, to bear my pups too, but it sure seemed like a far away dream at the moment.
And then, when I went to get her from her room, I saw red a second time.
Her shorts were the definition of outrageous. Her tanned legs on display didn’t help me keep a clear mind. Admittedly, her scent alone drove me crazy at times, especially since it was often laced with the smell of her arousal.
I had to fight back every instinct that told me to just throw her on her bed and have my wicked way with her. Had I had better control, I would have given in, but as it was, I knew I might go too far and push her away from me.
And then, she had the nerve to put that ridiculous red dress could I even call it a dress?
Caught in a web of desire and possessiveness, I showed her just how much I craved her. She thank the heavens reciprocated, and then went to change into some decent jeans.
At the bonfire, she expressed her desire to mingle and that pained me somewhat. My own mate didn’t want my company. I played it cool and told her that Eli looked busy, which he was.
Then, Jessica, my old hook-up, made an appearance, suggesting that we get a drink together, probably wishing for something more. Jade, acted out of character, and glared at her, even went as far as to call her on her stalkerish ways.
I immediately went from grumpy to happy. My mate was jealous after all.
And then, she called me alpha again. And it felt like 1 step forward, 2 steps back. In one swift move, I had her over my shoulders and was heading back to the pack house after dismissing Jessica.
People stared but I could care less.
Her parents, the only who truly mattered, knew she was my mate. I had told them I shall be courting her, and trying to earn her favors. The others were insignificant to me.
It was obvious that although she didn’t understand why, Jade was attracted to me. Hell, she even asked me to take her earlier in the office. And boy it had been a struggle to hold back.
I wondered how I was supposed to punish her, a spanking being out of the picture, and then thought of a wicked plan to make her flustered.
I went straight to my office before finally placing her on the floor.
She glared at me, “What was that for?”
“You obviously don’t know how to obey a simple command,” I retorted. “Do not call me alpha.”
“Even in public?” She tilted her head to the side.
“Even in public,” I confirmed.
She shook her head negatively, “I couldn’t possibly…”
“You can and you will,” I assured her.
Then grabbing her wrist, I led her to my desk where I sat on the chair and made her sit on my lap.
“Alex,” she let out in a mortified tone.
“Exactly,” I growled in an appreciative tone, as my hand went to her delicate mouth and I messed with it, “Say my name, and my name only.”
Her only response was a moan. Said moan had the knack to make me hot and bothered for her in an instant.
“We’re going to watch something,” I told her gruffly, nuzzling her neck. “And you don’t have the permission to touch yourself.”
“Huh?”
I opened a new window on my laptop, and it wasn’t long before we were watching a wicked porn scene.
“Alex,” she let out breathlessly.
“Hmm?” I let out in a tone that bordered on the indifferent, although I was boiling inside.
“Please,” she purred.
“Please what?”
“Touch me, or let me touch myself,” she said as she squirmed in my lap, making it hard to keep a cool head.
“This is your punishment, Jade,” I told her in a guttural voice. “You’re not supposed to take pleasure from it.”
She gasped as the female porn star was spanked, all the while having the male pounding into her.
“Can you imagine it?” I whispered in her ear, “Me having my way with you and you allowing it from start to finish.”
She shuddered.
“Please, Alex,” she was close to tears at this point.
“No,” I said in a firm tone, although I was on the verge of giving in.
She rested her head back against my chest and tried to get her breathing under control.
“Don’t close your eyes,” I commanded. “Only 5 minutes to go.”
Just as I said that, there was a knock on the door.
She groaned her displeasure and I fought back a smirk as I paused the video.
She was about to jump off my lap but I’d be damned if I let her get away so easily.
I held her hips in place and, nibbling on her earlobe, I instructed, “Stay right where you are.”
“But…”
“Come in,” I said in a louder voice, dismissing her protest.
She squirmed in my lap, upon seeing it was Luc.
“Yes?” I raised an eyebrow at him as she hid her face into my chest.
He had a broad smirk on as he said, “It can wait, alpha.”
I nodded curtly at him, thanking him, and he closed the door after him.
“You’re so mean to me,” she let out in a shaky voice as she shifted so that she looked at me.
“Am I?” I challenged.
She pouted, and I couldn’t help but kiss the pout away. A kiss led to another, and the video was long forgotten.
“When will you take me to your bed?” She bit on her bottom lip as she looked at me, her gaze a mixture of hunger and admiration.
“You’re not ready yet,” I told her in a strained voice.
Truth be told, I was the one who wasn’t ready yet. I couldn’t ensure not marking her if I were to make love to her.
“I’m more than ready. My underwear is drenched,” she retorted cheekily.
“I can smell that,” I told her, making her blush beautifully.
Then, I straightened up and said in a commanding tone, “From now on, you’re not allowed to touch yourself.”
“What?” She basically shrieked.
“You heard me, love. Only I get to touch you and bring you pleasure.”
“Well then, you’re not allowed to jerk off either,” she told me with a cheeky grin.
“Deal,” I told her.
