The Alpha’s Contract

Neah

He leans over me as I press my back into the wall. His eyes hover on mine and move down to my lips. He makes a quick move and presses his lips to mine and this time, I don’t flinch

Alpha Dane pulls back, “Do you trust me?” He asks in a gentle tone

“Yes.” I whisper

“We can go slow.” he whispers back and my head bobs up and down, accepting his offer.

His lips come back to mine. kissing a little harder and his hands settle on my hips.

He breaks away again and I give him another small nod, wanting him to continue.

This time, his lips trail light kisses down my neck and to my collarbone. Each one felt as though my skin was being hit by little bolts of electricity. He steps backwards, pulling me from the cubicle and towards the showers.

Pushing me up against the wall, he tugs my sweatshirt up and over my head, taking my vest with it and letting my breasts hang freely. He is quick to take a nipple in his mouth, dragging his teeth along it and making me gasp while he kneads the other one.

His lips work their way down my body until they meet the waistband of my joggers

Inch by inch, Alpha Dane lowers my joggers. His lips planting tantalising kisses on every inch of bare skin and making me moan. “Earth to Neah! Are you okay?”

I'm suddenly dragged back to the gym with Alpha Dane’s arm still looped around my shoulders, preparing to attack me from behind. “I'm fine” I mutter, half hoping that I hadn't been daydreaming out loud

His arm drops from my shoulders, allowing me to turn around and face him.

“Are you sure? You zoned out a little.”

I wondered if he could smell my arousal. He doesn't say anything just like last time. “Just... just thinking.” I murmur.

His eyebrows rise a little and I was certain there was a hint of a smile, “Anything that I can help with?”

“No.. no... I don’t think so.

He cocks an eyebrow at me. “Then I think we are done for the day."

“Okay.” I mutter. I was certain my face was the colour of a tomato. “Are you coming back to the house?” I ask, refusing to look back at him. “I just need to check on some things in the pack first. I think Raven is up at the house, she will keep you company.”

Hurrying out the gym, I practically run across the grounds, hoping that I could get into the house before anyone sees me and my red face. “Are you okay?” Raven is leaning on a chair as she looks out of the lounge at me.

“Why does everyone keep asking me that?” I snap and run up the stairs.

What the hell was wrong with me?

It's hours before I see Alpha Dane again.

“There you are!” He mutters as though I was the one who had been hiding. "What's wrong?” He asks as he closes the bedroom door behind him “You could smell me, right?” I ask, I had been thinking about it for hours.

“Are you talking about the gym or when you fell asleep in the chair?”

I knew it, he did know!

“You didn't do anything!”

“Is that a question or an accusation?” He murmurs.

I don’t answer because I wasn’t even sure what it was that I was trying to say.

“You are wondering why I didn't jump on you just because I could smell your arousal.” He smiles at me

“That's what male Wolves do, isn't it.”

“Not in this pack, no. Have we not had this conversation?”

“Your brother

“My brother doesn’t count.” He shuts my comment down.

‘L..../ma.....I've never.

‘I know.”

“You know?” I try to keep the shock out of my voice, it's not like I went around broadcasting it.

He nods hishead at me. “You didn't go to school. You didn’t leave the > packhatise. Trey never let anyone touch-you in that way. It's easy enauigh to put two and two together, Neah.” . -

“You didn't say anything.”

“Why did I need to? It’s not my secret to share. Or are you planning on sleeping with all the men in my pack?”

“No. I.... I made a deal with you.”

“You did, but there was no mention of you having sexual encounters.

‘Is it a trick?”

“You tell me. You agreed to be my bride for a year. How do you think I will react if someone else takes your virginity?"

I just stare at him. Sometimes, just when I was starting to see the nice side of him. He would remind me of what he is capable of in the most subtle of ways

By nightfall, I had shrunk back into my shell. Only speaking if spoken too and keeping my eyes low. Alpha Dane kept asking me if I was alright and I would reply with a simple nod of the head.

When there was silence around the dinner table, I knew the others were having a conversation through mindlink. Most likely trying to figure out why I was so quiet.

“Is this something to do with earlier?” Raven asks when it's just me and her. “I mean, you looked a bit flustered when you came crashing through the front door.”

‘lm fine.”

“What has he done?" "Who?"

“My brother?”

I shake my head and she stares at me with narrowed eyes.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

"Whatever itis, I'm sure he didn't ~ mean it Dane doesn't have the ~ greatest track record when it cornes to women. But I promise, he likes yau: Just give him a chance.’

‘I'm going to bed.” I mutter, quickly escaping.

I made the-most of being alone by having a hot shower and changing into fresh clothes before climbing into bed. When Alpha Dane comes to bed, I close my eyes and pretend to-be asleep. -

I listen to him move around the room. He briefly stops in front of me before getting in the other side. Out of nowhere, he grabs me and pulls me in against him.

“I know you are awake. You can pretend all you want.

I remain still and silent.

“You are mad at what I said, but you were the one who came to me about the deal. You agreed to the terms. You didn't have to.” He let's out a sigh. “I said what I said because it’s true. I don’t want another man’s fingers touching your body”

He runs his fingers through my hair, brushing it back from my face. Trailing a rough finger down over my cheek, he leans in, pressing his lips to my cheekbone.

It was strange because it felt familiar, like he had done it a million times before.
