8. That Night

Demi

I spentall day fantasizing about what Max was going to do to me once his shift was over. My whole body ached for the feel of his cock between my legs. How it would stretch me, filling me to the brim. Would it hurt? He was endowed. Not the longest I had ever taken but definitely the thickest.

After I left Calia for the night, I waited for Florence to leave, then I whispered in Max's ear that I'd be waiting for him.

The alpha growled softly, nodding once.

It was agony not to kiss him right then and there, but I couldn't risk anyone seeing.

Once home, I washed and shaved and plucked, lotioning every inch of my body. Slipping on my puffy pink robe, I sat down on my bed, with my body in hand.

Now, I just had to wait.

I lounged across on my bed, trying to read the expectations for being a Luna's maiden. My eyes moved across the words on the page, but nothing really sunk in. I was too distracted, thinking about how wet Max got me in that empty room. Arousal dripped and gushed out of me all evening. Even now, sitting on my bed, I could feel it gathering once again between my thighs.

A shiver slipped up my spine, and I squeezed my eyes shut tight.

"Calm down," I said to myself. "He'll be here soon." But it was no use. My mind was a swirl of Max. The way he moved, and felt, and tasted.

Oh, his flavor was like nothing else on earth.

Musky and rich with a hint of sweetness.

My wolf whimpered, and my skin itched. I shifted, trying to adjust the pillow under my head. My bed didn't feel right. The sheets were too stiff. Even my robe suddenly felt itchy. I tugged at the pale pink fabric, fussing with the sash, but it didn't help. The fabric suddenly felt too rough. It was almost as if the cotton caught on my skin, scratching me.

Unable to take another second of the rough material, I crawled off the bed and removed my robe. Nothing but my softest blanket would do. It was gifted to me by a very kind omega. I had helped bring her brother back to life after he had suffered greatly in battle. The alpha had seen so many horrible things, losing so many of his men. But with a little love and affection, I was able to ease his mind and return his purpose in only a few months.

I draped the silky blanket around my shoulders, smoothing my hands over the lavender material. Then settled in the yellow chair across from my little window. The velvety cushions puffed up around my sides, sucking me in.

"That's better." I hummed, opening my book, determined to study. But before I could find my place, a swift knock tapped on the door.

"Demi?" Florence stuck his head inside, scanning my room. He stood awkwardly for a moment, smiling at me.

"Yes?" I rested my book in my lap.

Florence pushed the door wide open, then straightened his back. "I just wanted to say that I appreciated how professional you were today." He looked down at me with something that resembled pride.

My mind immediately jumped to Max's face buried between my legs. I could hear the delicate chime of the piano beneath me, and Max's raspy growls as he forced me to come all over his face. I wasn't even bothered when he called my arousal slick. In fact, I kind of liked it.

"I know we don't always agree," Florence continued, "and you rarely care what I have to say," his mouth pulled into an overly polite smile, "but I liked seeing this side of you today." He paused as if waiting for me to say something.

"Okay." I nodded, fantasizing about Max's thick, glorious cock. How smooth and long it was, and the way it pulsed against my tongue.

"Anyway." Florence sighed, clearly unhappy with the way the conversation was going. "Sleep well, Beta Demi."

"Good night." I held my breath, not making a sound until the door clicked shut.

The second Florence was gone, I shoved my hand between my legs, and pressed my palm to my aching clit. I needed to find release, but I couldn't while Florence was awake.

Max will be here soon, I reminded myself. Fuck, please be here soon. I needed his big, muscular body on top of mine.

Two hours later, my prayers were finally answered.

Standing in the kitchen, I stared out of the window over the sink. I counted down the seconds as I smoothed my fingers over the silky blanket. After what felt like an eternity, the door to the garden opened, and my big sexy alpha emerged.

Max looked incredible.

The alpha's expression was intense, illuminated by the silver moonlight. His eyes were narrowed and his fists were curled tight. Cutting through the rose bushes and around the gazebo, he stalked toward my little cottage. My wolf simpered at the sight of him, urging me to fling my blanket off and present myself for the taking.

And I was planning on doing just that.

Moving swiftly, I raced out of the kitchen and into the hallway, straight to Florence's room. Being as quiet as a mouse, I gently pushed open his bedroom door. The beta's cup of magnolia tea sat empty on his bedside table and his book lay closed by his side. He was out for the night.

Clutching my blanket around my shoulders, I made my way back through the house, and straight to the front door. The worn planks of the porch creaked and I opened the door.

Max stood right in front of me, his big body looming tall and impressive.

"I didn't think you were going to come," I whispered, tipping my chin up. Inviting him closer.

The corner of Max's lips twitched, and he bowed low. "My apologies," he said in an overly formal tone, "I came as soon as I could."

I bit my bottom lip, liking this game. "I hate to be kept waiting." I pretended to be cross. "In fact, I'm not even sure I want to be your friend anymore." I twisted my hips to lead the alpha into my home, but he stopped me.

"Demi." He closed the door behind him. "There's something I need to know first." He looked so serious. "What"s happening here?"

"What do you mean?" I couldn't help but laugh, giving the alpha a heated look. "I thought it was pretty obvious what we're doing."

Max's throat worked as he swallowed hard. It was clear he was working up to something. "Why did you kiss me today?" he asked.

Confusion cut through me, followed by deep fear. I had never had a man or woman reject my advances before. Is that what he was doing?

Did he not want to lay with me? Did he regret our encounter?

I pulled the blanket tight around my shoulders. I had never had an alpha want to talk when given the opportunity to ravish my body. "What do you mean?" I asked, trying to sound unaffected by his reluctance to touch me.

"You've never looked my way with any interest before." Max's voice was as soft as the look in his eyes. It was clear he didn"t want to upset me. "I just want to know what you want."

"What I want?" My brows shot up, and I leaned in, more confused than ever.

Max's voice was tight. Cautious. "What exactly do you want from me, Demi? Is this a game? Are you playing with me?"

Shock ripped through me, and I gasped. "No!" I closed the space between us, pressing my hands to his broad chest, but he didn't hold me. His hands stayed at his side, curled into tight fists. "I would never," I said, praying he didn't think I was trying to trap him into a relationship. "If I'm being honest, I've been somewhat lonely lately." I hated admitting it out loud, but I needed for the alpha to know that I wasn't trying to mate him. My intentions were pure—simple physical pleasure and nothing more. "I thought that if you were single too, we could have a bit of fun together. I'm not looking for a partner or a mate."

Max swallowed hard. I was sure he was trying to feel the honesty in my words. Alphas didn't mate betas unless tricked. In my old home, they sought out omegas, but here in Casin alphas preferred other alphas. Betas were someone to pass the time with, and I was okay with that.

"You're free to date others if you like," I continued, wishing he'd wrap his arms around me. I had never met an alpha that was this reluctant to touch me. "I'm just looking for a friend," I said, hoping to tempt him. "Nothing serious. Just two friends having fun."

I looked deep into the alpha's eyes, waiting for him to react. His expression was so odd. It was almost tense. Angry? Disappointed? I couldn"t tell.

"What do you say, Max?" I asked, twisting my hips in a playful manner. "Do you want to be my friend?"

"Friend?" he repeated the word, almost as if testing the feel of it in his mouth. "You want to be my friend?"

"Yes," I said, wishing he'd smile or scream, or do something other than look at me with so much intensity. "I think we could be wonderful friends."

I held my breath, waiting. But the damn alpha didn't move a muscle. It was as if he were at war with himself. What kind of alpha didn't jump at the chance to get off?

Was he concerned I was trying to trick him into giving me a mating bite?

Did he think I was beneath him, not worthy of his alpha cock?

Doubt swirled in my gut, and my wolf whimpered, terrified of being rejected by him.

"I like you, Max," I said into the quiet room. "Do you like me?" I pushed against his chest, molding my body to his. "Do you want to…." my voice trailed off, not sure what else to say. I had never been rejected before. I didn't care for it.

"Demi." Max's eyes flashed red as they met mine. The tension between his brows eased, and in one swift instant, his whole demeanor changed. His gaze was adoring, and the corners of his lips lifted. "I would be honored to be your friend."

Excitement bloomed in my chest and I scrunched up my nose, laughing softly. "You scared me for a moment there." I beamed up at the alpha as my wolf gave a long stretch. She was ready to be used. Defiled. Dominated. "I'm sure you're tired from such a long day." I took a few steps back, letting my blanket fall off one shoulder. "Do you want to leave or?—"

"Drop the blanket," Max ordered, and my heart raced.

"Yes, sir." I looked deep into his eyes, holding his gaze. Letting the air around us heat and swell with anticipation. Then I let the blanket fall from my shoulders, displaying every inch of my naked body.

Max's eyes flashed red, as his beast inched closer to the surface. He looked wild, his breath quickening and his muscles pulling tight.

I curled my fingers around my hips, giving him a teasing smirk. "Now what, Commander?"

"Back up." Max's deep rumble traveled straight to my clit.

"Yes, sir." I did as I was told, backing up into the center of the living room. Max's alpha-tones didn't affect me the way they did an omega, but his kind loved to control, and I loved to please. "Now what?" I slipped my hands down my chest, lingering on my nipples. Max's gaze zeroed in on my movements, licking his bottom lip. It wasn't until I let my hands fall away that he finally spoke.

"Move. Now," he growled low and deep, pointing toward the bedrooms.

I twisted my body, letting my gaze hold his for as long as possible, then I walked. I swished my hips, knowing the alpha was staring right at my ass. I had been told many times how stunning my backside was. It was more than a handful, and I frequently found myself concerned with my size, but alphas seemed to enjoy it.

We passed Florence's room and I slowed. Looking over my shoulder, I pressed a finger to my lips, then at the door. "Quiet, alpha. We don't want to wake the beast."

Max's eyes cut to Florence's room, narrowing as if enraged at being denied the chance to fully lose control. But he finally relented, nodding.

I pushed open my bedroom door at the end of the hallway, sauntering to the center of the room. The dim light from the lantern warmed the small space, casting gentle shadows against the wall.

"Now, what would you like me to do?" I asked as Max entered my bedroom. He was so fucking big he had to duck to keep from hitting his head on the door frame. To be fair, this cottage was built for service staff. Not alphas.

Max's intense gaze swept the room, and I immediately smiled. I had seen him do that a million times. He was looking for any threats. It might have just been a habit, but I wanted to pretend he did it to keep me safe. It was kind of endearing.

"Lie down," Max's voice was soft but firm as his hands moved to the buttons along his shirt. He popped them open, exposing his firm, beautiful chest. I didn"t want to peel my eyes off of him, but I also didn't want to rile him up, by disobeying him.

Turning slowly, I placed one knee on my bed, then the other. I pushed my ass back as I crawled, displaying the curve of my pussy.

The moment I reached the center of my bed, Max's big hands gripped my ass. He squeezed my flesh, before pushing his face into my soaked cunt. He lapped and sucked at my arousal, flicking his tongue over my entrance. Moaning softly, I pressed my face against the sheets as the alpha feasted on my body.

"Look at that tight pussy," Max said, pressing his thumb to the opening of my pussy. He teased me with slow circles, while his hot tongue slipped over the seam of my ass. "Have you taken any alphas in your ass?" He swirled his tongue around my tight hole, making my back arch.

"I have," I gasped, glancing over my shoulder. Max moved right behind me, his chest exposed and his belt undone. "Are you wanting to put that big alpha cock in my ass?"

The brow over Max's good eye cocked, and he smirked. "You told me to do whatever I wanted to this gorgeous body," he said simply, dipping the tip of his thumb in and out of me. "I'm not one to ignore the request of a lady."

I opened my mouth, ready to return his flirty banter, but before I could speak, Max sunk his thumb deep inside me. He immediately began thrusting, cupping my pussy, so his fingertips slipped over my clit at the same time.

"Let's see how much slick we can get from that pretty, little pussy." Max hummed as he moved his hand faster and faster.

The pressure was maddening. His firm touch over my clit, while his thumb brushed over the bundle of nerves inside my pussy. It had my body on fire,

"Come on, Demi" Max growled, increasing his speed. "Let go for me, Demi."

So I did.

Filthy sounds fell from my mouth as the coil in my belly grew. I rocked on my knees, helping Max to fuck me faster and hard with his hand. Some part of my mind knew I needed to be quiet, but I couldn't stop myself from moaning and gasping.

"Use this." Max forced a pillow in front of my face. I opened my mouth wide, then bit down hard, as my orgasm ripped through me. Hot tingles flashed across my skin, and my toes curled as my pussy fluttered around Max's thumb. "That's a good girl," He praised me, smoothing his hand up the length of my back. "You came a lot." He chuckled, removing his hand from my spent body.

Panting hard, I rolled onto my side so I could look up at the mighty alpha. Max brought his wet fingers to his face, sniffing my arousal before sucking them dry. He hummed loudly, then reached for his waistband. His pants puddled at his feet, and pure lust exploded within me.

"Alpha," I whined, spreading my legs wide. "Take me. Please."

Max growled low in his chest as he crawled over me. His immense size made the bed dip and creak as he settled on top of me. "Tell me if it hurts," he warned, rocking against my wet center.

"I'm okay." I curled my fingers around his neck, tipping my hips up.

Then in a slow, tortuous push, Max sunk into me, stretching my pussy wide. He paused, making sure I was okay, before pushing in another inch, and then another. I hummed and moaned, encouraging him to give me more and more.

My inner walls spasmed and my breath hitched as he fell flush with my hips.

All the way in.

"Fuck," Max grunted, squeezing his eyes shut tight. The control this alpha had over himself was not just impressive, but shocking. "That doesn't hurt you?" he gritted out between his teeth.

"You feel so fucking good," I moaned, grinding my hips against his. "Make me feel it again. Stretch me one more time."

Max's eyes narrowed as a wicked smirk took hold. "Are you sure?" he asked, clearly impressed by my request.

"Yes." My voice was breathy and light. "Do it again. Harder. Make me feel it."

The alpha obliged, pulling his thick cock from my body. Leaning up, he gripped the base, slapping the crown against my clit.

"That's it." I pulled my knees up to my ears. "Give me that big alpha cock."

Then he drove into me one more time.

It was everything I had hoped for. I was brimming with cock. Stuffed. It was painful but still filled with deep, wild pleasure as he pumped his thick shaft in and out of me. Hitting the back of my entrance. It had been too long since I felt this full.

"Yes," I moaned, tipping my head back. "Don't stop." My nails skated along Max's back, digging in deep. It seemed to spur the alpha on, making him snarl and growl.

"So. Tight," Max grunted, his words punctuated by each snap of his hips. "So. Fucking. Perfect."

My body writhed as pressure built in my belly.

"Come for me, Demi," Max growled in my ear. "Let me feel you come on that cock." Then he reached between us and pinched my clit.

Euphoria whipped through me, stealing my vision and my mind. My body was flung into the heavens, and I was floating, falling, spinning, dying.

I couldn't breathe.

My whole body was locked up around Max's cock, spasming hard.

"It's okay," Max whispered from far away. Except he wasn't far away. He was still right on top of me, with this cock buried deep in my pussy. "That's my girl," he gritted out as his cock twitched. He was coming. Pumping me full of his glorious, hot release.

I lay in his big, strong arms, my heart thundering against my chest as the alpha nuzzled my cheek and kissed my neck.

It didn"t take long for Max to recover. Within minutes, he flipped me onto my hands and knees and began driving into me all over again. But I was too drunk off of his pheromones to do anything other than submit. It was a wild sensation, and one I wasn't used to.

I'd played the part of a submissive for commanding alphas, even though I was always in control. But not with Max.

He pulled every thought out of my head as he forced me to repeatedly come on his perfect cock. And I couldn't help but wonder what his knot might feel like.
