A Losing Game

“That reminds me, I told you my name, now you have to share what your wolf has been saying about me.” I can hear his smile without even looking at him. I turn to sit on the bed and lean back onto my hands. “I said she was commenting, I never said she was saying anything about you specifically, ”I lift my eye brow mimicking him. He’s staring at me, but he crosses his arms and leans back against the counter. Waiting.

“Tell him” Star says, encouraging me. “Nothings happening Star calm down it’s just shameless flirting.” She huffs, “Very shameless considering your attire.” Ouch. “It was said with love,” she adds. She clearly thinks she’s funny. “What’s she saying now?” He asks. I sigh, and he tch’s his tongue. I smile and notice he’s trying to hide his. “What do you want Noah?” I ask, pausing purposely. Then add, “Would you like to know what she said then, or what she’s saying now?” I ask as I pretend to pluck something off my bra causing his eyes to drift. “Your good,” Star comments, “Years of practice behind the bar,” I tell her as I run my fingers over the the outline of the bra up to the strap slightly adjusting it making my chest move, again purposely and again gaining his attention. I stare at him waiting to make eye contact.

As soon as his meet mine he answers, “Then.” Interesting. “I’m surprised you didn’t pick now,” I say stalling for time. I look to the clock, 5:43am. “I think I know what she’s saying now, or doing I should say,” his eyes trail down my body, his head tilting with it. As soon as he reaches my toes he slowly makes his way back up taking all of me in. “How would you know?” I ask. He stares at me, smiles his boyish smile and starts to walk toward me. “Is there a reason your stalling little wolf? Are you afraid to tell me?” He’s taunts. I look back to the clock quickly, and he tch’s his tongue. And I snap my gaze to his, “You won’t be saved by the bell today,” his smile beautiful, menacing. My breathing picks up and he watches my chest rise and fall. I can still get the power back can’t I? Star literally laughs at me.

He walks up to me and bends to put his hands by mine, then he whispers in my ear, “What are you thinking now Akira?” I lift my hand quickly grabbing his head before he could move away, keeping it by my ear so I have access to his. I scrape my nails down the back of his head though his hair to his neck and hold it there, my thumb tracing his jaw. “Now that’s not what we agreed on,” I pause still holding him there and I can feel him breathing down my neck.

I’m slowly losing control but try to reign it back. “What do you want Alpha?” I ask, “To know what I’m thinking now, or then?” I trace my hand down his chest, and lean back on my elbows and he moves his face in front of mine. Our faces only a head space away and he answers while looking at my lips. “Now,” he says. I can’t breathe. I don’t even know what I’m thinking now. Why is my mind completely mush. “I’m thinking,” I pause staring at his lips now. I look back up to find him still watching mine. Fuck. I lick my lips, not necessarily on purpose but because it’s all my mind is thinking about right now. “You’re way better at this game than I gave you credit for.” He smiles and it’s all I see because I’m watching his lips now and can’t look away but he moves, slowly walking backwards to the door. “Get dressed Akira, can’t be late to training today.” My eyes find the clock, 5:48am. He turns to the door and quickly adds, “Don’t forget to read your books, you had a day off but tomorrow you’ll need to be ready to learn with your teacher,” and leaves.
