CHAPTER 22: PLEASURE WITHIN THE WOODS II

"I am yet to receive an answer from you."

I frowned. "About what?"

He grabbed his shirt from the bedside table. "If you’d be my girlfriend."

I rolled my eyes, sitting up on the bed. "Alpha, please — that’s not possible. You have a Luna."

"No one is going to find out unless you tell anyone."

"I can’t have an affair with you."

"Then, what is this we just did?"

"We did not have sex."

"It is the same thing."

I sighed. "Please, Dawn. I want you."

I grabbed his hand, stopping him from buttoning his shirt.

His eyebrow rose. "You address me by my name?"

"You asked me to do that."

"You have not accepted to be my girlfriend, so that is punishable by law."

I leaned into the bedrest. "Punish me, then."

"Say yes first."

"To what?"

"To being mine."

"I thought you claimed me already. Didn’t you? You almost killed Gideon and Jasper and you already killed Ian," my voice cracked at the mention of Ian. "Is that not what claiming is?"

"I can’t claim you until you fuck me outside of being my breeder."

"So, let’s do it now."

"You’d need to say yes to being mine. That’s the only way the claiming works."

I sighed again. "I really can’t, Alpha. The Luna will kill me."

He nodded. "So the Luna is the problem? Should I kill her, then?"

"What? Have you lost it? No!"

I got off the bed, struggling to maintain my stance as my muscles were still a little weak.

I took his hand, guiding it to wrap around my waist, and leaned into him, wrapping my other hand around him.

"You do this and turn around and say no?" he gritted.

"You taste good, Alpha."

"You drive me nuts. I’ve never felt this way in my entire life."

I pulled at my dress, watching my breast spring out. Then I let the gown fall free to my feet.

"Are you seducing me? Your corny way of having to sleep with me without saying yes?"

"I’m not sleeping with you. This," I took his hand and guided it to mold my breast, "is enough."

He molded my breast regardless, his other hand palming my butt. I stepped out of the dress and shoved him back slightly, watching him sit on the edge of the bed. Then I climbed onto him, straddling him.

I guided my nipples to his mouth, my hand around his shoulder, and let him suck deliciously. At the same time I ground into him through my panties.

I reached out to unzip his pants but he stopped me before I let them down entirely.

"You are acting weirdly, Bambi. This is not you."

I proceeded with unzipping his pants. "This is me. I want you." My hand dipped into his pants, catching his hardness in my grip.

I caressed it softly, watching his lips part in a soundless moan. I let down his pants and settled on his hardness through his briefs. A moan escaped me as I started moving on it, rocking and bouncing.

He held onto my breast with one hand and my legs with the other, guiding me for the grinding.

Suddenly, a new wave washed over me. It felt like I was drunk in a minute, then sober in the next.

I hopped off Alpha Dawn and picked up my dress.

"What is it?" He looked at me, confused.

"I—I’m so sorry, Alpha. I shouldn’t be doing that."

He raised a brow.

"I think I should leave."

As I was about to go, he held me back. "No, you can stay. I will leave."

He got on his feet, zipping up his pants. I couldn’t even look into his eyes as he grabbed his shirt and left the room.

Immediately after he was out, I slid back on the bed, a wave of shame washing over me.

What was that side of me that had just been unleashed? Why was I so eager to do something intimate with the Alpha? I needed to see Miss Naomi. I had so many unanswered questions. Maybe I wasn’t even drunk that full-moon night when I had sex with Alpha Dawn for the first time. Maybe it was just that side of me that came out.

I pressed my legs together. I still felt the urge — the way his hardness had pressed into my wet panties.

I lay back on the bed and allowed sleep to slip in gradually.

The sunlight hitting my eyes is what wakes me up the following morning. I cracked my eyes open to a figure standing by the window, adjusting the curtain.

She was dressed in the pack servants’ uniform. She wasn’t a familiar face.

I sat up slowly, feeling a heavy throbbing in my head.

I eyed her. "Who are you?"

"The Alpha has sent me to tend to you," she said, her head bowed low.

I frowned. "Where is the Alpha?"

"He left this morning, ma’am," she said, her head still bowed low.

"You don’t have to bow to me or worship me," I told her.

"This is also a personal request from the Alpha. He asked me to pay you respect as I would to the Luna."

I sighed. I couldn’t even protest because of the stunt I pulled last night. I couldn’t believe I did that.

"Am I going to be taken back to the pack house?"

"Yes. Your ride is waiting for you outside. I’ll prepare you and ensure you leave in your ride."

A ride? Do I even need that?

I got on my feet and allowed her to take me to the bathroom to prepare me.

When she was done, she gave me jeans and a mid-thigh length gown with an open chest, my cleavage out in the open. I didn’t even need to ask to know Alpha Dawn had definitely picked the dress for me.

The lady guided me out of the cabin once we were done.

A Range Rover waited for us a few miles away from the cabin; two men stood by the door. As we made our way to the Range Rover, we heard snaps of twigs behind us. We both stopped on our tracks and turned around.

"Who is there?" the servant barked into the woods.

A shadow emerged and someone came out of hiding. My breathing hitched when I saw who it was.

"Bambi?" Sable asked.

"Sable?" my tone was distant.
