Sinful Alphas

Sinful Alphas

Clara

A startled yelp leaves my lips as I grab the first thing I see. The throw pillow on the couch doesn’t cover much of my thighs, only the front of the throbbing flesh in between.

“E-Excuse me?” I stutter stupidly, staring at him openly gawking at me. His eyes are not locked on mine as they settled lower, slowly moving down my body with a hungry look in his gaze.

My cheeks flush with shame and embarrassment. I have never been quite comfortable letting anyone see it, not even Zach when we were together.

I had arms too thin, which didn’t quite match my thighs that were twice thicker than normal. My curves too prominent, and my breasts too large for my small waist. I was thicker in some parts of me that always seemed to make the opposite sex stare, and I didn’t like it,

I cover my breasts with my free arm, while the other holds the pillow against my center.

“Please leave,” I mutter, unable to move my body or my eyes away from the dark man.

My voice seems to snap his attention back to me as he fixed his eyes on mine.

“Hey,” he flashes me a smile that reached his ears. His entire demeanor changed from when he first saw me down the hall. I furrow my brows.

“Look, I know we got off on the wrong foot. Let’s start this again, shall we?” he smiles the most dashing smile I’m sure would make women in the city swoon.

“I’m Leon, by the way. What’s your name, pretty girl?”

With his thick eyelashes, piercing blue eyes, high cheek-bones and perfectly messy pitch-black hair, giving him that rugged badboy look women go wild crazy for, he was definitely a playboy.

I didn’t want to think he’s flirting with me at this time, especially since he’d set his eyes on my body.

I gulped, my throat going dry for a moment.

“Can we do this later? I, uhm…” I looked down at my body. The pillow doing little to provide much coverage with its foot size. Plus, it seems to be getting hotter the second he stands there, and me in this awkward position.

“But I just came here,” he answered, and my heart nearly lurched out of my chest when the door suddenly swung open and Xavier stormed in with an angry look on his kind face.

“Leon, what the fuck—”

But his words were cut short when his eyes landed on me, and yet again I am rooted to the floor.

“Holy shi—”

Leon elbowed him on the chest, making him spurt out and mumble something incoherent to him. Again, they looked at each other like they were communicating but they weren’t.

I closed my eyes firmly shut, willing the ground to open up and just swallow me whole. Could this day get any worse?

“Sorry for this, Clara. I’ll teach Leon here a lesson before entering a girl’s room.”

That was Xavier. And when I opened my eyes and looked up, they’re gone.

My heart thumped a thousand beats more each second. I quickly dropped the pillow and rushed to the door, locking it in place before I turn my back against it. Gathering my bearings, I calm my beating heart before I make my way to the bathroom.

As I stood under the pelting water, I pondered on whether I made the right decision.

Maybe this was a bad idea. Xavier never told me about the other guy he is living with. I vaguely remember him telling me there were others, but I didn’t know what made me think they would all women.

Besides, I remember Brandon telling me he was gay.

Apparently, the way he reacted to the sight of me being partially naked was proof enough. There’s no way he’s gay.

I groan. Why would Brandon lie to me?

This can’t be another one of his tricks. I’m his sister, and I always thought that deep down, he holds some affection towards me as my brother.

With a deep, regretful sigh, I began to rinse off the shampoo off my hair.

Once I’m done, I will tell Xavier this was all a big mistake. Although my brother didn’t warn me about this, I’m sure he just made a mistake, too.

I’m sure I’ll manage to find another apartment, despite how tight my budget is. I have to. I can’t live here if there were two men staring at me like predators on the first day.

Once I was done, I wrapped a clean towel around myself and walked out, heading to the closed bedroom.

I remove my towel and use it to dry off my hair, bending over a little to get all the strands when I felt a shudder run down my spine. As if the atmosphere suddenly shifted, I froze as a deep, guttural voice ripped through the air around me before a strong, large hand forced my hand away. A shriek escaped my lips before I stare up, wide-eyed, into a pair of devil red eyes staring down intently into mine.

“Who are you? What are you doing in my room?” he roared, the sound strangely identical to an animal’s growl as he looked down at me. I could have sworn his eyes glowed as he stared into my depths, and I’m frozen in place.

My blood ran cold but at the same time, I felt strong electricity zap my veins at his touch. I gasped.

“Brother, you’re back early,” The bedroom door is kicked open before Xavier and Leon stepped inside. Wind gushed through me, ripping me back to my senses as I become aware of my naked state.

I yank my arm off the strange man and grabbed the towel, wrapping it around me in a haste as my eyes reddened from tears, threatening to spill.

“What the fuck is this?” The man growled at them, and I glanced at Xavier with tears in my eyes. The shock in his face was evident before he shot an angry look at the other man barging in.

“This is Clara. Brandon sent her,” he stated, making me look at him, confused.

Sent me?

“No, he didn—”

“Why don’t you go get changed? I’ll talk to them,” In a flash, Xavier stood in front of me, and shielded my shoulders with his suit.

My lower lip trembled as I look at him and say,

“Xavier, I don’t think—”

“I don’t think you should make any rash decisions here, Clara. You’re here now, don’t worry. Everything will be alright,” He cut me off, taking my hand in his before massaging small circles on my palm. I relaxed, and before I knew it, I walked out of the room. Eyes burning into my back, I closed the door and nearly passed out.

What just happened?
