My heart fluttered as Mallory knocked on the door, announcing his name as well.
“Come in.” A gruff reply came from the other side. Mallory opened the door and told me to go in, greeted his Alpha, then left.
I found myself standing there in the middle of the door and the chair by his desk. Subconsciously, I started to rub my wrist while waiting for one of us to break the silence.
“Flower, take a seat.” Obediently, I shuffled over and sat in the familiar seat, appreciating it’s comfort.
Silence, yet again, fell over his study. And yet again, my hands found my wrist and started to wring it.
A low growl emitted across from me. Alpha Derek.
“What did I tell you about that, Violet?” I felt my heartbeat pick up knowing I was in trouble. “Stop.”
It took all of my will to pry them apart and to keep them from finding each other, I put my hands on the outer sides of my thigh and suck them slightly under.
“S-sorry, A-alpha…” I cringed at my stutter.
“Derek…” he mumbled. I looked up at him as he continued to read his paperwork.
… Wow, he’s so pretty…
“W-what, A-alpha?” I was confused. Did he want me to call his Alpha Derek? Did he not like just ‘alpha’?
His eyes were still focused on his work when he spoke, “call me Derek.”
“O-oh, yes, s-sorry Al…” I trailed as I was about to call him his title, but he didn’t want that.
Again it was quiet in the room. I was looking at Derek as he did his work. He was breathtaking. His straight dark brown hair looked so soft.. His deep-set blue eyes focused on the papers in front of him, a slight crease between his eyebrows due to his attentiveness to his work. His full lips were set in a straight expression as he read.
Breathtaking.
It sparked something in me. Feelings I wouldn’t- no, feeling I don’t feel. It’s not me- it’s my wolf, Sage.
“Flower, was there something you needed?” His voice was cold as he asked me and my submissive side kicked in.
I shook my head as his iced eyes flicked up at me.
“T-the rea… um… m-my wolf w-w-wan…” I trailed, not having confidence in my sentence anymore.
“Finish your sentence,” Derek demanded in his wintry tone. Why was he so cold to me?
‘He doesn’t like you. Stop complaining about his tone.’
“Umm, I-I was j-just s-saying that umm… m-my wolf wanted t-to s-see you…” My face lit in an embarrassed blush.
He hummed and continued to work. My wolf wanted his attention and to be honest a little bit of myself wanted it as well.
‘Slut…’
( ‘Violet, don’t listen-‘ )
A snap broke me out of my thoughts. Focusing back into the present, Derek was now out of his seat, in front of his desk leaning on it.
“Flower..” he started to tsk- but his eyes flashed and he stopped, “I asked how therapy was,” he repeated his tone taking a cold nip at the end.
“O-oh, s-sorry. It was o-okay…” I nodded along, my voice was small.
“Violet, what did I tell you about repeating myself?” he questioned as he pushed himself off the desk and walked closer to me grabbing my chin, slightly bending to meet my eyes.
I involuntarily flinched at the sparks.
“I-I’m s-sorry, D-Derek… I-I zoned off…” At this point, my voice is practically a whisper.
He moved his hand off my chin motioned for me to stand. I did, my eyes reached his lips. He was taller than my five foot seven figure, he was probably six foot or maybe six one? I don’t know.
His hand found my chin again, “speak up,” he murmured, his face close to mine causing my breath to get caught in my throat.
I kinda like how close he is.
‘My- such a fucking slut…’
“I-” my voice came out weak and raspy so I cleared my throat to stop further embarrassment, “I’m s-sorry D-Derek, I um z-zoned out…” I managed.
My heart rate was beating out of my chest. He was so close to me. Something in me wanted him closer. And truthfully, I don’t think I could blame it all on my wolf, or even the bond.
“Say my name again..” He trailed, dipping his face in the area in between my shoulder and neck.
“D… Derek…” I was sure he could hear how loud my heart was. He left my chin and made it way down to rest on my lower back, and his other hand found mine. The sparks were incredible- indescribable.
He pressed me closer to him, I swear I was transported to heaven. He told me to say his name again, and in a small voice, I did. He slowly, gradually brushed his nose up my neck and I couldn’t restrain the shudder I felt.
This felt so right. So necessary.
‘But when Chris did it, you freaked!’
‘You’re such a tramp!’
( ‘Violet, don’t listen to them, he’s your mate…’ )
Derek brought his face back to mine and stared into my eyes. I was lost in his, so breathtakingly blue, a deep, comforting blue.
His eyes flickered to my lips and then back to my eyes.
“Violet…” he murmured ever so softly. My russet orbs fell upon his full lips. So welcoming.
Derek leaned in and tenderly placed his lips on mine.
My. Heart. Died.
Sparks were everywhere.
You would imagine a man such as Derek would be a rapid, rough kisser, but this was so soft. Light.
Once my shock wore off, my lips moved calmly against his smooth lips. Derek pulled me closer into his body. My mind wanted to freak out a little bit, but it didn’t. I’ll blame my wolf.
Holy Goddess…
I didn’t know if I was a good kisser to him, I hope I was. I’ve never really had experience kissing back, I was mainly frozen when Alpha Chris kissed me.
I didn’t focus on it for too long, but in the back of my mind, I was hoping it felt just as good to him. Just as warm.
He pulled apart and my eyes fluttered open and gazed into his navy globes, they seemed ten shades darker.
My breathing was staggered due to the moment we just shared.
Slowly and lightly he pushed me off and took a step back, his hand leaving mine but his other staying on my back. I saw him lick his lips as he sighed out.
My eyes fell to the floor as I felt my cheeks heat up.
Derek fully pulled back his arm off my lumbar. And cleared his throat.
“Flower… I have to finish some work, I’ll get Mallory…” His voice was his usual cold tone but it was ever so slightly raspy.
I nodded and brought my hands to my front.
Within a few seconds, Mallory knocked and then led me out of Derek’s office. He took me downstairs and we decided to watch some movies in Alpha’s home theater.
My whole mind and body still not back from the high that his kiss brought me.
‘Slut…’
