ALPHA(35)

“I can’t describe it either. It’s scary and terrifying and oh, so confusing, but I’m falling in love with you too.”

He smiled the biggest smile I had ever seen, when our moment is ruined by Blake bursting through the kitchen door.

“Hey, sis! How you doing?” He strode over to me with that cock swagger of his, and picked me up, twirling me around a few times before putting me back down. I felt sick from all the spinning and Jackson came to stand next to me, putting an arm around my waist and offering me his support.

“Sis?” I asked Blake, looking up at his smiling face. How were Jackson and Blake so different? You’ve never know they were related unless they told you.

“Yeah, I figure now you’re with Jackson and he’s pretty whipped, that I can call you my sister now, right?”

I laughed and playfully swatted him on the chest. “Well, I guess there was a vacancy for annoying shit of an older brother.” Jackson laughed beside me, and Blake pretended to be wounded by my words.

“Harsh, sister.” He turned to look at Jackson, and his smile dimmed slightly.

“What are we going to do about this?”

“I’ll have my men on her every minute.”

“Woah, woah…” I pulled myself out of Jackson’s arms and took a step back, looking at him in annoyance.

“What are you talking about?”

“Until we come up with a plan for how we can stop these guys, I’m not letting you head out alone.”

“That’s a bit of overkill isn’t it?”

Blake watched us with amusement in his eyes.

“Laura, did you not hear a word of what I just said?”

“Yes, of course I did!”

“Then you’ll know that you mean a lot to me. For whatever reason, these guys are after you, and I’m not going to let anything happen to you.” He walked over to me, and pulled me in to a hug. Dammit, I couldn’t resist his hugs. “Let me look after you, it’s important to me.” Fuck, he had to go and say that, didn’t he?

“Urgh, fine.” I agreed, half-heartedly. Blake looked at us before pretending to vomit and shuddered.

“Urgh, you guys are so soppy.” He smiled though, to show he was joking.

“Blake, would you mind sorting it out for me? I’ll stay with Laura tonight but from tomorrow I need the guys to take rotations to watch Laura when I’m not there.”

Great, I loved being talked about like I wasn’t even there.

“I’m on it,” Blake said, before saluting and leaving the room.

“By the way, when I said I was saying with you tonight, I meant in your bed. I hope you don’t mind?”

I laughed, and was already walking towards the door before he had even finished his sentence.

“Best idea you’ve ever had.”

We were in my bedroom later than evening, and Noah and Jasmine had taken Annabelle out to the cinema, so we were alone in the house for the first time since arriving there a couple of weeks ago. We stood at the end of the bed, and my heart was racing at the pure lust that was in his eyes. I’d never felt anything like this when Craig and I had slept together. Jackson could make me feel with just one look, like I was the most beautiful woman in the world. He reached forward to tuck a strand of my hair behind my ear, and looked at me in a way that sent chills down my spine.

“I can’t seem to stay away from you,” he whispered, holding my head gently with both hands and looking at me as if I was the only woman left on the planet.

“Well, what can I say? I tend to have that effect on people.”

He laughed, and dimples hit his cheeks in the most adorable way.

“See? No-one’s ever made me laugh the way you have before. You’ve cast a spell over me, Laura.”

“Your lines get cheesier and cheesier.” I smiled, then gasped as he suddenly pulled me in to his body, his arms cradling me as if I was made of fine China.

“Are they working?”

“Oh yeah.” I whispered, before throwing caution to the wind. I lunged forward with a desperation bordering on embarrassing. I just had time to notice his shocked impression, before I was attacking his mouth and grabbing his hair. He moaned the most delicious hum which reverberated through my whole body; I felt on fire with the passion he ignited within me. Our tongues duelled and our breaths mingled as we seemed to fight for dominance of the kiss; oh, it was the most wonderful fight though, and I never wanted it to end. He pushed me gently whilst still kissing me, and I fell backwards on to the bed, our lips never leaving each other’s as we both scrambled to get each other’s clothes off. I’d never been the kind of girl to hop in to bed with a man straight away, but Jackson was different. Over the past few weeks we’d grown closer, and what I felt for him already exceeded what I ever felt for Craig. The timing felt right and that was the most important thing. All doubts vanished from my mind as Jackson suddenly pulled my naked body down to the edge of the bed, lifting my legs and settling between my thighs as if about to tuck in to a delicious meal. He licked his lips, sent me a wink and then I swear I have no idea what happened next. My brain seemed to stop working and the only thing I could focus on was Jackson’s tongue as he licked me to climax multiple times. I grabbed his head as I reached the stars for the third time, my voice hoarse from screaming so loudly and my hips thrusting upwards as if trying to get even more of that delicious tongue. I collapsed backwards, my strength gone as he settled himself over me, positioning himself at my entrance.
