Day 3 - Plot Thickens

*You know it's going to be dangerous to touch him. If the magic is wearing off of the necklace, he could notice you're his mate.* Praesul warns. Finally being practical.

*You secretly love the thrill.*

I scheduled another meeting with Rex. This time in my office. I'd planned to touch him while offering him a drink. Super simple.

When he entered the room, a wave of pine and spice assaulted my senses. I forgot my original plan. I walked over and extended my hand. He shook it respectfully but once our hands touched I could feel the instant current of blue flame ignite my skin. His eyes turned from silver blue to black. Confused he shook his head and I pulled back from his grasp.

"Leave us." I tell Prudens.

Rex nods to his pack members and they do the same. I turn my back to him and walk toward my desk. Suddenly his hands are on me. One cradles my neck while the other pushed my backside against his body. My back flush to his front.

"What are you doing?" He whispers in my ear. "Did you call me here to seduce me?"

Praesul is caught between lust and fury. I'm just trying to breathe while his touch lights my skin on fire.

"What do you mean?" I ask breathily.

He licks my ear and I stifle a moan. "It's witchcraft isn't it? This delicious fiery sensation when we touch."

His grip tightens on my neck but I can still breathe. Slowly his hand moves down to the hem of my dress. I've picked a short green sun dress to accent my eyes.

"No." I whisper, sounding unlike myself.

Brushing the inside of my thigh with his rough fingers, I jerk involuntarily.

"Stay still." An Alpha command. I obey even though they don't work on me.

He grazes my sex with his fingers and I gasp. "Mmm, you're ready."

All too quickly he slips a finger inside me and I moan. He leads me to the desk and presses my front against it. I'm bent over the desk, feeling his finger move in and out. He turns me to face him. His eyes are black again and I know his wolf is in control.

*Let me take over.* Praesul growls

*We're not ready.* I say confused.

*I know.*

My eyes turn yellow orange and he looks surprised.

"I've called you here for business, not pleasure." Praesul says a low undercurrent of authority rings loud and clear.

"That's too bad." He says stepping back and licking the finger that was just inside me.

*Oh fuck!* I exclaim and I can feel Praesul losing it. She hands me over control.

"I can't give you the Seer." His eyes turn from black to silver blue and his expression is ice cold. "I'd be willing to make a different exchange. We could be choice mates."

His expression neutralizes but he takes a long time to respond. "You'd step down and become my Luna?"

"Not exactly. We could both be Alphas. We would combine packs and territory. Then subsequently, you'd have access to the Seer." He was still close enough to touch.

"I can accept these terms." He reaches out and rubs up my thigh. "But what if you lose?"

He kneels before me and hikes my skirt up.

"I won't." I hold my breath.

He rips my thong apart in one swift moment. I gasp involuntarily. His eyes stay on mine the entire time. Shifting from black to silver blue and back again. I lick my bottom lip and his mouth caresses me. Biting my lip to stifle my moan, I grip the desk I'm pressed against. I tilt my head back, taking in the full heat intensified by his touch. My whole body is shaking and I feel like I'm about to explode. Abruptly he pulls back and stands up.

"When you lose, I want you and your land. We won't be equals. You won't even be my Luna. You'll be my slave." He smiles a wolffish grin and leaves. His lips were still slick with my lust. I pulled my dress down and stood before he could open the door. Without my thong I was highly aware of my discomfort and need.

Thankfully Alpha offices are sound proof. I didn't want to think of who heard me mewling like a school girl in heat.

*What an asshole!* Praesul says half shocked and half turned on.

*Well that was a hot fucking mess.*

*No shit. You said you were just going to touch him with a drink.*

I turned to the bottle of bourbon not yet poured. Pulling off the top, I poured myself a shot and took it. It burned my throat but it loosened my body.

*Don't drink too much, you've got a challenge tomorrow.* I ignore Praesul and head back to my room with the bottle in my hand.

I slowly sip a finger of bourbon on the rocks. All the lights are out except for the candles I've lit. They smell of vanilla and lavender. My body is pulsing from the build up. I'm in need of a release.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

What the fuck came over me? Alpha Regina Nox. I can't believe she let me feel her insides. My dick twitches at how wet she was with just one of my fingers slowly circling inside her.

Why would she want to be choice mates? She's like barely 21 and I'm 28. My mate isn't coming and she's young enough to have time.

We also know nothing about each other. Except that's not true. I know her well enough from all her family's visits to our pack. I even visited her pack some as a child.

She is such a tease! That short dress that hugged her curves. Those breasts pushed up taunt against her clothing and her ass barely covered. If she was my mate I wouldn't want anyone seeing her like that except me.

*Ha! Listen to you. Already considering her being your mate. She's way too good for you.*

*Shut up Nocte.*

*What you meant to say was "thank you, Nocte" for letting you taste her.*

I was hard and wishing I hadn't left her office so abruptly. She was ready and needy. I could've tore into her. Especially feeling like an electric current was swimming through my veins.

In the shower, I moved my hand slowly up and down over my swollen cock. I kept pumping thinking of her mouth on me. Those green eyes staring into mine as I mount her for the first time. Her moans of ecstasy and clenching repeatedly around my dick. Finally, I release crying out in pleasure.

Holy fuck. When's the last time I pleasured myself instead of finding a dame to bang? What was this shewolf doing to me?

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

*We've found Stella!*

Ignis' voice made me two kinds of guilty. On one hand I let Rex touch me even though I know I am also Ignis' mate. On the other, I had lost sight of what truly matters, my family and getting Stella home safe.

I sat bolt upright. The clock read 2 AM. My challenge was at 10 AM.

*Thank the Moon Goddess! Is she alright?*

*She alive and the pups are healthy!*

*Pups??*

*She's carrying twins.*

*Hell yeah! I'm going to be an aunt times two.*

*I think they did a number on her Gina. She's acting strange. Not eating by choice and shaking when she's awake. She's got a feeding tube in until she can eat regularly again.*

*Look, I'm glad she's alive. Tell her I'll be back as soon as my final challenge is done. I need constant updates. Figure out the whole situation and present it to me tomorrow. I've got a challenge in about 8 hours and I've got to sleep.*

*As you wish.*

He loved that sappy movie but quoting it made me smile.

My heart felt a little lighter knowing that my baby sister was home safe.
