Alpha Loren

October 15th

The following morning I woke up in Leo's arms. His bare chest was warm and smooth and comfortable and soft and ugh. He's just too beautiful to hate. 

"Morning," He said in a husky voice once he realised I had woken.

"How long have you been awake?" I asked rolling over to face him as he gently drew circles on arm with his finger.

"Hours," He said looking up to the ceiling his lovely blue eyes.

"Why didn't you wake me?" I asked.

"Well you looked so peaceful and I'm comfy. Besides, when your sleeping is about the only time you let me be this close to you." 

"Correction: I let you be close to me when you're not being a dick and when I'm sleeping I don't know that you are being a dick."

"Ouch," he muttered.

"The truth hurts."

"I was thinking we should go on a date today but if that's how you feel-"

"A date?" I said sitting up. "Are you for real?"

"Why do you seem so surprised?" He asked furrowing his eyebrows.

"Dates just don't seem very you," I said.

"What do you mean not very me?" he asked.

"You don't strike me as the romantic."

"There's a lot to me that you don't know about yet," he said kissing my forehead.

"Where are we going then?" I asked.

"Well since the weather is getting colder they put the Ice rink up in Kellington and I figured it might be fun," He said stroking my face.

"Are you kidding?! That would be brilliant! Ice skating?! In Kellington??! My home town?!" I squealed.

He watched my excitement with a smile, "And afterwards I thought we'd go see your friends."

My eyes widened, "Abi and Charlotte?"

He nodded.

I squealed again and lurched forward to kiss his lips.

He grinned and immediately brought his hands to my waist and kissed me back.

"Omg I can't wait!" I said now kissing him all over his cheeks.

 "OMG GURL! ME NEITHER!" He said in a 'typical high school girl' voice.

"Can we go see Connor too?" I asked hopefully.

"Don't push it," He replied his face suddenly straightening and his tone dropping four octaves.

I laughed and put my hands on his chest, leaning in for what I thought was another quick peck.

But he responded by cupping my face in his hands and delving deeper into the kiss. I didn't object and let him pull me on top of him as his hands slipped down to my thighs.

He let out a quiet groan as he touched me before he grabbed my hips and flipped us over so that he was on top.

I looked up to the shirtless God above me as he brought two gentle fingers to the v-neck collar of my shirt.

As they slipped underneath I felt shiver travel through me, instantly reminding me of the pleasure he gave me in Blair's car yesterday.

His hand kept travelling further inside my shirt before he kissed me again as I felt him cup my breast.

I put my hand on top of his but my wolf couldn't quite bring herself to let me pull away. She wanted him so bad. Part of me did too but I couldn't let him have me. Not yet.

I scrunched my eyes tight and turned away.

"Hey, hey," he said guiding me back to face him, "Where are you going?"

I tried to sit up but he was still straddling me.

"The bathroom," I said.

He put his thumb on my lips and looked into my eyes before pausing. At long last, he nodded and let me up.

In the early afternoon, we made it to the icerink.

"Shoe size sir?" The young boy behind the counter asked Leo.

"Men's 15." He replied.

"Jesus, you have big feet," I said in astonishment.

"You know what they say about men with big feet," He whispered with a smirk.

"You're not a man. You're a child." I said.

"And your shoe size pretty lady?" The man behind the counter asked. 

Leo stepped in front of me, "She's a women's five," he said, forcing the boy to look away from me to him.

He nodded, looking slightly nervous at Leo's fierce expression before he went to get our skates.

"Fucking humans," Leo grumbled, "Does he not see this?" he added gesturing to the mark on my neck.

Soon enough, we were getting on the rink.

"Can I just quickly say, Leo. Last time I went Ice skating I had to go to the hospital," I said as I nervously put one foot on the ice.

"What?! Why?!" He said joining me in cautiously stepping onto the rink.

"Long story short I fell over on my head and got a concussion. And that was like two years ago and I haven't done it since," I explained as I held Leo's hand incredibly tightly.
