Her submissive Beta, Her dominant Alpha

Finding it hard to adjust

*Amber*

I pace up and down the floor in my living room, unsure why I'm so agitated. I can't seem to keep still or find any sense of calm. It's like my body is fighting something invisible.

The past four days have been a haze. I have been with Micah, and though we haven't really talked about it, we have acted like a couple. I don't really know if we are one.

Maybe that's it… I'm unsure of what I want, and I don't know what we are or aren't. I don't even know if I like him in that way.

The s*x has been amazing… mind-blowing, otherworldly even… but sometimes I get annoyed by his commanding tone, which he uses outside the bedroom too.

He sometimes makes me feel like a child, unable to make my own decisions. I guess it is an Alpha thing, but it is not easy to deal with when I'm usually the one in charge, both at work and in the bedroom.

I need to talk to someone, so why not kill two birds with one stone ? I find out that Luca has been trying to get a hold of me for the last few days, but my phone had been dead, and I'd been too busy to notice.

So, I send him a message: ‘I'm home and I need someone to talk to. Are you coming over?’

I know Micah will come over later when he is done with his meetings. He is all but demanded my spare key, which is another thing that irks me.

Luca answers back quickly, even for him, and I smile… he is already on his way.

*Luca*

Finally, a word from Amber. If I hadn't heard from her today, I would have contacted Micah. I actually find it strange that Micah hasn't called me or come over to gloat about his victory.

I hurry over to her place. If she needs to talk, I need to be there to listen. It's my job as her friend, regardless of whether I like what she has to say or not.

Has she been with Micah for four days? I can hardly imagine it… that would be a new record for Micah, keeping a woman around for four days straight. But Micah only wanted to conquer her, right ?

She opens the door before I can even knock and pulls me inside, hugging me fiercely. I hug her back, my face buried in her hair, breathing in her scent.

"Where have you been? I've been so worried, Amber. You can't just go off the grid like that for four days". I look at her.

She bites her lip, appearing unsure of what to say. "I have been with Micah”.

"Oh, so you and Micah ? I thought you hated him". So she has been with Micah. My heart sinks, and I suddenly feel jealous of my two best friends.

She sighs and drags me into the living room. I sit on the couch, pulling her onto my lap, cradling her as she says, "I don't know about Micah and me. I don't even know if I like him".

"But you have been sleeping with him, right ?" I hate myself for asking, and I hate it even more when she nods.

Her fingers absentmindedly caress my neck and run through my hair, making me close my eyes. "He's just so… bossy, like he thinks I can't do anything by myself”.

"But you can. You can do everything. Both of us know that". I look up at her and smile when she bites her lip and nods. "You're the strongest, most independent She-wolf I know”.

She looks confused, and I can't help but say, "As much as I like Micah, I don't think he's the right man for you… Micah is all about Micah. He can't give you what you need, in or out of bed”.

"Oh, so you think you know everything about what I need ? Do you now, Luca ?" She turns her body toward me and looks into my eyes.

My hands grab her waist, and for once, she doesn't complain. "Yes, I do, Amber. I have known you for a long time. I know exactly what you need and what you want”.

Her mouth is slightly open, and she catches her breath. I can't resist kissing her passionately, and I gasp slightly when she reciprocates, grabbing my hair.

*Micah*

I'm on my way up the steps to Amber's home. I have been in meetings all day, but my mind keeps wandering to her and what she might be doing.

We haven't really talked about it, but since she stayed with me for four days, I consider us a couple. Maybe I should talk to her, establish some ground rules, and make sure we are on the same page.

I'm looking forward to seeing her more than I thought I would, and I quickly unlock the door with the spare key she gave me.

I stop dead in my tracks… There are noises coming from the living room. It sounds like someone moaning rather loudly, and my heart sinks.

I know I should just turn around, walk out the door, and never look back, but I can't. My legs won't cooperate.

"Oh my Goddess, Luca”. That's clearly Amber's voice. Right now, I don't know whether to feel relieved that it's Luca she's with or even angrier.

I walk into the living room. It's like a hard slap in the face or maybe a kick in the groin, seeing Luca sitting on the couch with Amber riding him hard, her breasts bouncing and her hair swinging in time with her movements.

I just stare, wanting to get away, but feeling frozen. Then Amber looks up, jumps off Luca and the couch, and pulls her clothes around her. "Oh s**t, Micah, you are here ?"

"Well, yes, darling. I will be in the kitchen, so please clean up… you and I need to talk. And Luca, f**k off, will ya ?" I turn and walk into the kitchen, slumping down in a chair.
