The Alpha's Claim: Alpha Stephan

Beth I looked at myself in the mirror one more time. The red lace pushed my boobs up real nice. My thick thighs looked good in the tiny skirt. I felt weird dressed like this. Usually I wore hoodies and jeans. But Maya said I had to dress up for my birthday party. "You look so hot!" Maya said when I came out. She was jumping up and down. "Tyler's gonna die when he sees you!" I smiled but my stomach hurt from being nervous. Tonight was the night. Tyler was finally gonna tell everyone we were dating. We'd been together for two months but he wanted to keep it secret. "I want to save it for something special, babe," he always said. Tonight was special. My eighteenth birthday. And I was ready to have s*x for the first time. "Everyone's coming soon!" Maya's voice was real loud and excited. She turned up the music. Our dorm room was small but we pushed the furniture around to make space. I kept touching my hair. I always wore it in two braids with bangs. Some people said it looked like a little kid but I didn't care. It was my style. The door opened and people started coming in. They brought beer and were yelling and laughing. The room got full real fast. Boys played beer pong. Girls danced. Someone started smoking on the balcony. I looked around for Tyler but didn't see him. Maya handed me a beer. "Drink up! It's your birthday!" I drank but I kept watching the door. Where was Tyler? He said he'd be here. Then he walked in. My heart started beating fast. He looked so good in his hockey jacket. His blonde hair was messy like always. But he didn't even look at me. He just went straight to the beer pong table. I sent him a text. "Are we gonna tell everyone tonight?" I watched him check his phone. He looked up at me and just shrugged. Then he went back to playing like I wasn't even there. My chest hurt. Why was he acting like this? "You okay?" Maya asked. "Yeah I'm just not good at parties," I lied. "You need more drinks!" Maya gave me another beer. Then everyone started yelling for shots. "The birthday girl wants shots!" Maya screamed. Everyone cheered. I did seven shots. Way too many. The room started spinning. My stomach felt really bad. I ran to the bathroom and threw up in the toilet. When I was done I looked in the mirror. My makeup was all messed up. I wanted to cry but I didn't want to ruin my makeup more. I had to talk to Tyler. Something was wrong. I left the bathroom and looked for him. He wasn't in the main room. Someone said he went to my bedroom. My heart started beating fast again. Maybe he was waiting for me in there. Maybe he wanted to be alone with me. I went to my room and opened the door. I wished I never did. Tyler was in my bed. But he wasn't alone. Sasha was with him. The cheerleader captain. Her blonde hair was everywhere. Her skinny body was on top of him. His pants were down. Her underwear was on my floor. They were having s*x. In my bed. At my party. "What the hell!" I screamed. The music stopped. Everyone got quiet. I heard people running to see what was happening. Tyler jumped up real fast. He pulled up his pants. He looked drunk and high. "Beth it's not what it looks like!" But Sasha just smiled. She got up slow and put her underwear on. She walked past me and hit my shoulder hard. Everyone was watching from the hallway. I could hear them talking. Some girls were laughing. "Tyler we were together!" My voice was shaking. I was gonna cry. "Come on Beth," he said. His words were all messed up from drinking. "You really thought I wanted you? It was just a bet. The guys bet me I couldn't sleep with the fat nerdy virgin. I was gonna win five hundred bucks." The room started spinning again but not from alcohol. I couldn't breathe. "We. Are. Done." I said it real quiet but I meant it. I ran out of the room. Maya and Lori were calling my name but I didn't stop. I just ran out of the dorm building into the night. It was cold outside. Fall was coming. I didn't have a jacket but I didn't care. I just walked and walked. I didn't know where I was going. I ended up at a bar at the edge of town. I'd never been here before. It looked old and dark. But I didn't care. I went inside. There were only a few people there. I sat at the bar. The bartender was nice. He gave me a drink without asking for my ID. I drank it fast and asked for another one. "Rough night?" someone said next to me. I looked over. A guy was sitting a few seats down. He was really hot. Like the hottest guy I'd ever seen. Tall and big with muscles. Dark hair that was a little messy. And his eyes... they were silver blue and they looked right into me. He was wearing all black. He looked older than college guys. Maybe mid twenties. "The worst night ever," I said. He moved closer. Just one seat away now. "Want to talk about it?" I don't know why but I did. Maybe because he was a stranger and I'd never see him again. I told him everything. About Tyler and the bet and Sasha and how stupid I was. He listened to everything. He didn't interrupt. His eyes stayed on me the whole time. It made me feel weird. Like he could see everything inside me. "He's an i***t," the guy said when I was done. His voice was deep and rough. "Any guy who doesn't see how special you are is blind." I felt my face get hot. "You don't even know me." "I know enough." He smiled a little. It made him look even hotter but also a little scary. Like a wolf smiling before it eats you. "I'm Beth," I said. "Stephan." He said it like it was important. Like I should remember it. We talked for a while. He asked about school. About what I wanted to do. I told him I wanted to be a vet. He seemed really interested in everything I said. Not like Tyler who only wanted to talk about hockey. Then Stephan leaned close. So close I could smell him. He smelled like the forest and something else I couldn't name. Something that made my body feel hot. "I live in the building next door," he said quiet. His breath was on my ear. "Apartment 409. Fourth floor. If you want to come up the door will be unlocked. No pressure. But I'd like to keep talking to you." Then he stood up. He put money on the bar. "For her drinks too," he told the bartender. He looked at me one more time. His eyes did that thing again where they seemed to glow a little. "I hope you come up Beth." Then he left. I sat there for a long time. I knew what he meant. It wasn't just talking. I finished my drink and thought about it. I'd gotten all dressed up in my expensive underwear for Tyler. I was ready to lose my virginity tonight. Why should Tyler get to ruin that? And Stephan was so hot. The way he looked at me made me feel beautiful. Like I wasn't fat and nerdy. Like I was special. I paid my bill and left the bar. The building next door was nice. Nicer than the dorms. I took the elevator to the fourth floor. Apartment 409. I stood outside the door for a minute. My heart was beating so fast. I could still leave. Go home and forget this. But I didn't want to. I turned the handle. It was unlocked like he said. I went inside. Stephan was sitting on the couch. He stood up when he saw me. "You came," he said. He sounded happy but also something else. Hungry maybe. "I changed my mind about going home," I said. He walked over to me. He was so tall I had to look up. "Are you sure about this?" he asked. I nodded. I was sure. He touched my face real gentle. Then he kissed me. It wasn't like kissing Tyler. This was different. Better. His tongue was in my mouth and I could taste him. It made me feel hot all over. He picked me up like I weighed nothing. I wrapped my legs around him. He carried me to his bedroom while we kept kissing. His room was dark. He laid me on the bed. His hands were on my body. On my thick thighs and my stomach and my boobs. He touched me like he liked all of me. "You wore this for him?" he asked. He was looking at my red underwear. I felt embarrassed. "Yeah." "His loss." He kissed my neck. His teeth scraped my skin. It hurt a little but in a good way. "I should tell you something," I said. My voice was shaky. "I've never done this before." He stopped and looked at me. "You're a virgin?" I nodded. He was quiet for a second. Then he smiled. "Then I'll make sure your first time is special." He touched me between my legs over my underwear. I moaned. It felt so good. Then he put his hand inside and touched me there. His fingers were inside me. Moving in and out. I'd never felt anything like it. I grabbed his shoulders and made noises I didn't know I could make. When I was ready he took off my underwear. He took off his clothes too. He was big everywhere. I got scared for a second. "I'll go slow," he said. "I promise." He did. He was gentle. It hurt at first but then it felt amazing. We moved together. His eyes were on mine the whole time. And I swear they glowed gold for a second. But that had to be the light. When it was over we laid there together. He held me close. His hand was in my hair. "Stay," he said. But I couldn't. This was supposed to be just one night. Just to make myself feel better after Tyler. Stephan was too hot and too perfect. Guys like him didn't want girls like me for real. When he fell asleep I got dressed quiet and left. I walked back to the dorms. It was almost four in the morning. Everyone was asleep. Maya had changed my sheets. I'd have to thank her tomorrow. I laid in bed and thought about what I did. I had s*x with a stranger. A hot stranger who made me feel things I never felt before. But still a stranger. I felt embarrassed and stupid. Why did I do that? But also I couldn't stop thinking about his eyes. The way they looked at me. The way they glowed. That was crazy though. Eyes don't glow. I finally fell asleep but I dreamed about Stephan all night. About his hands on my body. About his teeth on my neck. About his eyes watching me like I was prey.
