009 - A Beta's Fate, An Alpha's Destiny

DOMINIC.

I spent the whole night with Sofia. And I was just waiting for someone to call us out, but it seemed that nobody cared or that they were all busy having fun without us, which was working in my favor because, even if I kept denying it, I was enjoying her company.

After she cried in my arms in the middle of the forest, she told me she didn’t want to think about the Claiming anymore and just wanted to enjoy the night. 

So instead of joining the crowd back at the bonfire, I asked if she wanted to play billiards with me. I just wanted her to have fun. What I wasn’t expecting was for her to take advantage of our time alone.

I stood behind her, my arms around her as I positioned her to cue the billiard balls in front of her. Instead of following my instructions, she rested her back on my chest and her hands were just letting me guide her to where I wanted her hand on the cue stick, but she was not gripping it at all.

"Sofia…" I grunted before letting out a sigh. "You’re not listening again. I said, stand up straight and don’t lean back, lean forward."

"Like this…" And she bent forward abruptly, her ass poking my front, which resulted in me jolting my body back upon contact.

Fuck!

I almost blurted it out, but I restrained myself. 

Sofia was hot and cold. She would say things that made me think she despised me, only to flirt with me the next few seconds.

She giggled at my action and dropped the cue stick on the table before turning around to face me.

Mischievousness was flitting in her eyes as she hiked her eyebrows up. "Anything wrong, Beta Dominic?"

I brushed my hand over my hair in frustration. If she continued pushing her ass on my front, I would have a raging erection soon. I am not a saint, nor am I dense. Sofia was sexy and alluring, and it wouldn’t take long before my control snapped.

"You need to stop."

"Stop? What?" She asked, acting as if she didn’t know what she was doing.

"Stop flirting with me. It’s not working."

Lies. Fucking lies!

She was taken aback by my blunt response, and I regretted it the moment pain crossed her eyes.

She didn’t say anything and turned on her heel and walked away. My hand worked on its own and grabbed her wrist, tugging it that made her spin around, making her chest collide with mine.

Her hands flew to my torso as she pushed me away, but I was holding her waist tight.

"Let me go. You’re rude." She snapped at me, but her eyes were brimming with tears, and embarrassment was written on them. 

I wanted to smack myself for causing her this. Me and my fucking mouth.

"Sofia. I didn’t mean to say it like that. It’s just that…"

"It’s just that I’m not Janna! And I’m just a hormonal teen who wanted to make out with an older guy? Shame on me!" She glared at me, pushing my chest hard, but my hands flew to her arms, gripping her tightly.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" I growled at her.

"I thought we’re friends?" Her eyes were accusing me as if I had betrayed her.

"Well, friends don’t go flirting and kissing each other. And besides, your brother might have just popped up out of nowhere, and the last thing…"

"Are you scared of him? So you don’t have the balls to face…"

A growl reverberated from my chest, and before I knew it, my hands were on her jaw and our faces were just inches away from each other. 

I wanted to fucking kiss her and shut her sharp mouth, but I felt fucking guilty for desiring her when I knew I still liked Janna.

Sofia was confusing me, making me feel something I never had before. She irritated the fucking hell out of me, and I wanted to punish her and at the same time protect her from me. 

I didn’t want to hurt her.

Janna. I wanted Janna. I closed my eyes, but all I saw was Sofia and the way she laughed and flipped her long hair.

I was still confused about myself when I felt warm, wet, and soft lips gently sucking my mouth. It was too gentle, but it sent shivers down my spine, up to my cock.

"Sofia…" I groaned, but my lips weren’t moving.

"Just a kiss, Beta. No strings attached."

Just a kiss. Just a fucking kiss.

My hand moved to the back of her head, gripping her in place as I began moving my lips, kissing and dominating her sweet taste. Sofia moaned and wrapped her arms around me, and I used my other hand to lift her off the floor and place her on the billiard table.

It has been too long since I last kissed someone. Ever since I met Janna almost a year ago, I have refrained from getting intimate with anyone. Females would flirt with me, and I would flirt back, but it didn’t come to this. I knew I had control over my lust and my dick, but with Sofia, she was making it too hard for me to control myself.

I have to admit, I was enjoying kissing her sweet lips and the way her soft body was clinging to mine. I was parting her lips ready to invade her, but she beat me and plunged her tongue first, and I couldn’t avoid the growl that vibrated from my chest as I suckled her tongue.
