Aiden had given me his credit card this morning before they left and told me to buy whatever I wanted today. Not exactly sure how comfortable I am spending their money, but I guess they are loaded and being their mate, I guess that means it’s my money too.
Ian and I arrived in town and after stopping for lunch we headed off down the streets to find a dress.
“I know there’s a dress shop just here on the corner called Alexandria’s that the ladies seem to love, shall we try there?”
“Sure, you know this town better than I do.”
The urge to hold his hand as we walked or to be touching him in general was difficult to ignore. We had several people stop us on the street as almost everyone in the pack knew Ian and I met several more members who I didn’t get a chance to meet at my ceremony.
We finally turned the corner and arrived at this store that even from the outside it screamed ‘expensive’; expensive but yet beautiful. We stepped inside on the gorgeous white and gold marbled floors; dresses of every kind lined the walls and were out on display.
This would normally be the kind of place where I would be too afraid to touch anything for fear of breaking or damaging something and here I was, dress shopping with an unlimited funded credit card.
“This place is incredible” I couldn’t help but gawk slightly as I looked around at all the dresses.
Ian chuckled, “If you can’t find a dress you like here, something’s wrong!”
I figured I would start on the right-hand side and work my way around the store.
“Luna Camille!” a sweet voice suddenly said behind me startling me a bit, I turned around and saw this girl, probably close to my own age bowing her head towards me, “Welcome to Alexandria’s! My name is Avery; it’s such a pleasure to finally get to meet you! Is there anything in particular I can help you find today, Luna?”
“Hello Avery, it’s a pleasure to meet you as well.” I smiled back at her.
She was quite gorgeous, long slender legs showed off even more by her high heels, she was skinny but had nice little curves and was chestier than I was. Silky smooth long auburn hair than was curled down her back over her tight form fitted red dress. She was most certainly the kind of women I would imagine working in a place like this.
“I’m afraid I am in need of a dress and some shoes for the masquerade ball this weekend at Silver Creek.”
“Well, you have certainly come to the right place Luna,” she gave me another bow. “I have several options in mind that I think would interest you. Would you mind following me ov . . .”
As she turned, she suddenly cut her sentence short.
“Ian?!” she shouted. The smile on her face widened and the next thing I knew, she ran to Ian and threw herself into his arms forcing him to catch her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and embraced him.
My blood was boiling! I’m sure my face was bright red, I marched over there with half a mind to grab her by the back of her neck and throw her skinny ass outside on the curb.
I was about ready to say something when Ian put his hand up stopping me.
“You need to calm yourself down” Ian’s voice said into my head
He put her down and I turned myself around so she couldn’t see my face. He was right, I couldn’t exactly make a scene. To everyone else, he was my mates Beta, he was my Beta, I didn’t have any claim to him.
“Avery, what are you doing here?” Ian asked as he finally put her back down on her feet
“I just started here last week; this was my exciting news I wanted to tell you about, but you haven’t been answering my calls lately.”
“Yeah, sorry about that, I’ve been keeping pretty busy these past few weeks.”
“Well, you need to tell the Alpha’s to quit working you so hard,” her tone suddenly became more hushed and sultrier, “you still need to get out and have some fun every now and then.”
I couldn’t help the sound I made to her comment; my snort was loud enough for her to hear before I realized that I made it out loud and that I also gave away the fact that I was eavesdropping, crap.
She turned around realizing that I was still standing right there, “Oh my apologies Luna! I didn’t mean any disrespect towards the Alphas!”
Of course, that’s what she would think I’m upset about. I mean, technically she is showing disrespect towards my mate, just not the ones she’s thinking of.
“Oh, don’t even worry about it.” I tried to make my smile convincing
Has Ian had a girlfriend this whole time? Why didn’t I know about her? I had so many questions.
“So, Avery, you and Ian huh? How long have you guys been together?” I intentionally didn’t look at Ian, but I could feel his eyes glaring at me
“Oh well, I guess maybe a few months? It’s nothing too serious, but we’ve known each other for a few years and have been good friends for a while.” I could tell by the way she spoke that she had hoped for there to be something more between them.
“That’s nice, well Avery you are absolutely stunning, any man would be lucky to have you!”
“What are you doing?!” Ian’s voice came into my head again, but I didn’t respond.
“But shall we start looking at dresses?” I figured Ian was right, best to just get a dress and get out of here.
I was in the dressing room trying on my 4th dress, every time I stepped out in a dress to show Ian, she was right there, sitting right up against him. I was trying not to listen to their conversation as I was changing but I couldn’t help it.
Apparently, Ian would spend a few nights at her house every once in a while, and I guess he left something there last time that she is hoping he will come over and collect it tomorrow night after she gets off work; yeah, over my dead body he will.
I stare at myself in the mirror and finally take a look at the dress I put on; this dress actually was gorgeous. A soft emerald green with gold accents, a slit high up on my thigh, form fitting around my waist and my chest; I decide this is the one and step out.
“Oh Luna, you look fantastic! I think I also have the perfect shoes to match, be right back!” Avery said as she got up and took off towards the shoes.
“Wow” Ian said as his eyes looked me up and down. He then had to grab his jeans and readjust himself a bit as he stared. Good, make him suffer a bit I thought.
Avery returned with a pair of gold heels that did go perfect with the dress, I changed and handed her the dress to go ring everything up.
After I had the dress and shoes, I thanked Avery and made a quick beeline out of the shop and down the street for Ian’s car leaving Ian behind me to deal with his girlfriend who was coming over for a hug and a kiss goodbye no doubt; something I didn’t want to see.
I got to the passenger side door of his car and waited for him to catch up and unlock the door. He did so without saying a word and took my shopping bags and put them in the back. Once I got inside, like a child I turned and faced out the window pouting, I couldn’t help it.
Ian got in and instead of starting the car he pushed the button to move his seat back as far as it would go and reaching over, he grabbed my waist and pulled me back sideways onto his lap. He rested my head into his neck and simply placed his head on top of mine.
“I’m sorry baby. I had no idea she worked there.” His words were soft and gentle
“Sorry we ran into her or sorry that you didn’t tell me that you had a girlfriend?” I closed my eyes and breathed into his neck to keep from crying.
“She’s not my girlfriend, I’ve never been the relationship type. I’ve known her for a while and yes, the past few months we had been seeing each other but only casually.”
“Do you have feelings for her?” I was almost too scared to ask but I wanted to know
“No baby I don’t” he said as he kissed the top of my head “I enjoyed her company, but it was never more than that. I’ve never really had feelings for any girl, that is, until I met you.”
“Are you still sleeping with her?”
“What? Camille, no! I would never do that to you!” I could feel him shake his head before letting out a sigh
“I was seeing her up until your Luna Ceremony, but that was because I had these feelings for you that I didn’t know what to do with. You were mated to my best friend and Alphas; I never thought I would ever get to be with you, so I used her to try to get over my feelings for you. But after everything came out that night, I swear to you I haven’t seen her, I haven’t even returned her calls.”
I thought about what he said for a moment, I didn’t like the thought in my head of her and Ian together, but I understood it. “I’m sorry I overreacted.”
“I understand it, believe me I do. I wish I could be like a real mate to you, it’s so hard to be so close to you and not touch you, it kills me.”
Ian’s right hand suddenly moved up my thigh and under my sun dress, “But as long as I can touch you in private, I’ll survive.”
“What if someone sees?”
“The windows are tinted; they can’t see in here.”
His hand slowly made its way up my thigh spreading my legs apart, he began to rub his fingers over my panties making me moan against him. My arousal was instant to his touch.
“Your panties are getting soaked, better get them out of the way.” He whispered as he hooked his finger pulling them to the side.
He grabbed my left leg and put it up on the dash spreading my legs open even farther for him. His hand rubbed up and down my s*x a few times, coating his fingers in my wetness before he pushed two fingers into me making me cry out.
He started out slow, moving his fingers in and out. My body was wiggling in his lap trying to get him to move faster, I needed him to make me c*m. I groaned out in frustration as he continued his slow strokes in and out driving me crazy.
He chuckled deep in his throat, the sound turning me on even more. “What do you want baby? You have to ask.”
“Please” I managed to say breathless
“Please what?”
It was hard to form words with him touching me, “Faster, make me c*m” I cried out
As soon as the words left my lips, he slammed his fingers back into me and curled them up to hit a certain sensitive area. He then began to move his hand back and forth, moving faster each time. I could hardly focus, and I could feel my orgasm building. Without warning he inserted a third finger, filling me up even more as his hand skillfully worked taking me closer and closer to the edge.
He brought his head down to my ear, “I belong to you Camille, no one else. I’m all yours. Now I want you to c*m for me baby, let go.”
His words were all I needed, I came hard, my s*x spasming around his fingers not wanting to let them go. My body tensed and shook against his chest as I cried out before collapsing further down against him as I tried to regain control over my breathing. He held me against his chest for a moment before we finally headed back home.
