Alpha Bait(3)

Afterward, he pulled away, sitting against the bed as he looked over his room. He lived near the snowy mountains that were always cold all year around. Scorch preferred to be near the cold. If he needed the warmth he journeyed down to the rest of society for a month or two.

“Wow, I swear you getting fucking better every time we meet,” Lidia said, reaching for her cigarettes. He hated her smoking and refused to touch her if she had a smoke before sex.

Wrinkling his nose, he stood, heading to the stand that held his finest brandy. His family had all been in this bedroom before him. Each room within the old grounds held a great deal of history.

“Wish you wouldn’t fucking smoke,” he said, taking a large gulp of the dark liquid. He couldn’t get drunk no matter how much he drank. His wolf wouldn’t allow him the lack of control. Scorch was one with his large, black wolf and couldn’t find an argument for keeping in control.

“Baby, we’ve just fucked, and now I need a smoke. Don’t start, or you’ll give me a motherfucking headache.”

For an educated lawyer, Lidia had a foul mouth.

“You’re in my house, my pack, and you’ll show me respect otherwise you can get your ass out of here,” he said.

“I know.” She blew out some smoke, crossing her legs.

Her body was fine, in the peak of health, yet he found himself no longer caring for another round. Staring out of the window he saw the sun coming up behind the forest trees. The snow glistened in the natural light taking his breath away. All of his life he had grown up seeing the same landscape, and he still hadn’t grown bored, not even at the age of forty-six years old.

Lidia moved up behind him, running her hands down to his flaccid cock. “I’m sticking around for the weekend this time. Do you want me to leave, or can I promise not to smoke and stay here with you?” she asked.

Her fingers stirred the arousal in his veins. It had been a month since he’d found pleasure inside her. One month of finding no other release but her.

“You can stay, but you’ll do as I ask. Otherwise you leave. I will not have any wolf trying to play the dominant over me. You’ll know your place, understood?”

“I understand. You’re the big bad wolf, and I’m merely your servant.”

Scorch chuckled. There was nothing else for him to do. She’d be gone by Monday, and he’d have to find some other way of spending his time. Staring at his reflection he saw his blue eyes staring back at him.

“How are things in the big city?” he asked, spinning around to look at her. She smiled up at him, wrapping her arms around his body.

“It’s a hell of a lot warmer there. I had to leave my car back at the lodge over fifty miles back and run all this way. Do you have any idea how annoying it is carrying a case in my mouth?” she asked.

“I’ve offered to bring you here, but you declined everything I suggested. I would gladly drive down, collect you, and take you back.” He didn’t understand why she constantly refused him.

“You’d do that for any member of your pack. I’m not just any member, Scorch. We’re fuck buddies, and I’ve got a life outside of this world.”

Staring at her, Scorch knew they were not exclusive. She always smelled of many men before she had a shower.

“Do you have someone waiting for you?” he asked.

“Not at the lodge but back home I do.”

“He’s insane to let you go wandering off.” Scorch moved away from her to pick up their discarded clothes. He wasn’t jealous, only curious.

“He’s human. They’re not as protective as our kind, and they don’t like to do anything too rough.”

Laughing, Scorch turned back to the woman. “So I’m useful for hard, rough sex. It’s a pleasure to know.” He would never understand the human race. Once he claimed a woman for his own there was no way he’d let her out of his sight for any length of time. His main desire was to find a woman who could take all of his attention and focus.

“Don’t be like that, Scorch.”

“I’m not being like anything. We’re talking.”

“You’re not jealous of him?” she asked, stepping closer.

The scent of nicotine coated her skin making him feel sick. “Lidia, never forget that this is not going to be more than fucking. I want nothing to do with you other than the pleasure of your body and the stimulation of your mind.” He held her hands, dropping a kiss to them. If she wanted more from him then she was sadly mistaken.

Her mouth opened to speak, but a loud banging sounded on his door.

“Alpha, we need you,” David said, his second-in-command and friend.
