*Luca*
I turn and look at Micah. He is possibly fuming, his cheeks flushed and his eyes burning. I have never seen my Alpha like this before. "What the hell Mic ?"
"Well, she was being an obnoxious b***h". He says, crossing his arms on his chest, not at all acting like the Micah I know. And I actually do know that Micah is not always the impeccable gentleman he likes to pretend to be.
I am shaking his head. "Well and this is exactly why I have never introduced the two of you, I knew there would be sparks flying".
I had known that Amber would probably rub Micah the wrong way, and that Amber would find Micah’s flirtatious manners laughable and silly. My two best friends just really weren't compatible. They are both too dominant, too much Alpha to be in the same room.
"Do you have a death wish or something Luc, bedding that succubus ?" Micah looks at me wide eyed and suspicious.
I grin, well Micah doesn’t really know my preference for letting the woman be in charge. "Oh I promise you that it is well worth the risk".
"So you have known her for a long time ?" Micah is suddenly seeming very interested.
I know that look in my friend's eyes, Micah is seeing a challenge to be won here. Something new for him to conquer, someone to be dominated into submission. "Yes, Micah and she is a really good friend, and not something to be played with".
"Well aren't you playing with her or is she the one calling all the shots Luca ?" Micah asks me with a grin.
I just shake my head. "Well Micah you see, you and I have somewhat different preferences in that department and Amber is definitely not a woman for you. She would eat you up and spit you out".
"Oh so you think that, do you Luc ? You seriously think I can't tame that b***h ?" Micah looks at me, smirking.
I know Amber very well and I know Micah pretty well too. They are actually pretty similar in many ways. Amber is just much more open about her preferences, where Micah on the outside is always the perfect gentleman.
"Well I think you can't get anywhere whatsoever with her, you are not really her type Micah". I smirk back. “She doesn’t like Alpha type men”.
Micah gets that mischievous look on his face that I know will end in trouble. "Well Luca, I say I can, so what about a little wager ? Loser springs for next year's holiday".
"I don't know Micah. She is my friend too, I don't wanna see her hurt". I do not like this, on the other hand it might be fun to watch. I am quite sure Micah will get his hands full. It might not be nice, but my Alpha friend could use being taken down a nudge for once.
Micah looks thoughtful. "Unless you have feelings for her. I mean more than friendly feelings. If She is like your mate or something, because then I wouldn't want to get in the middle".
Do I ? Is she ? No, I do not think so, I might have had some feelings a long time ago, but I am quite clear about the fact that I wouldn't be able to keep up with her on a daily basis and well, Micah won’t get anywhere with her, so it doesn’t really matter.
"Don't worry about that Micah, Amber and I are just friends, but I have to warn you, You are getting in over your head with this one". I answer.
I go into the kitchen and Micah follows me, saying. "We will see about that, so the bet is: if I sleep with her, you will pay for my vacation next year ?"
"Oh no Micah, I am not falling for that. You could just give in to her whims then, she seemed to quite like at least a part of you". I answer, knowing that if Micah complies to Ambers rules, she would probably f**k him at least once, just to try him.
Micah looks at me waiting for an answer. "Well then, what do I have to get her to do to win ?"
"If you get her to beg you to f**k her on your premises. If you manage to get her to let you take total control of her. If you can make her your submissive, then you win". I answer, chuckling a bit to myself, knowing that will never happen.
Micah looks at me with a wide grin, he seems to like the idea. "Well that is a deal then, now call her and say we will be coming by that concert tomorrow".
*Amber*
I am just walking in my front door when my phone starts to buzz. I look at it, it is Luca, what does he want already ? "Hi Luca, what's up ?"
"Hi Amber, I was just thinking, you know that concert tomorrow, we would like to swing by anyway". His voice is a bit uncertain.
I smile, it is not very often I can get Luca to come to one of the concerts I am promoting. "Cool, I make sure to leave a ticket and backstage pass for you".
"Well darling could you make it two ? Micah wants to come to". He asks, sounding like he expects me to bite his head off. Which is, granted, what I mostly want.
I groan, loudly. "Why Luca ? Why would you bring that stuck up insufferable prick ?"
"Well because he is my friend too, and he is not really that bad Amber, you two just kind of got off on the wrong foot. Please, for me ?" He pleads.
I sigh, outside the bedroom I have a hard time saying no to Luca when he is pleading. "Okay okay I leave two then, one for you and one for Mr. Smart ass Blueback".
"See you tomorrow then darling, sleep well". Luca ends our conversation.
I am in a bad mood now, why does he have to bring that infuriating Alpha snob ? Well yeah he might be kind of handsome and sexy too, and by the feel of it very well equipped, but hey Iris just the usual Alpha thing. Hadn't he been so obnoxious I might have f****d him, except I get the feeling that he is not really the submissive type.
Wewould probably just end up fighting for control, quite literally, no better to stay clear of that one. I can smell when a man is trouble, and Micah Blueback is no doubt trouble.
I pull off my clothes, take a long hot shower and put on some old sweatpants and a snug sweater. Then I settle into my couch and watch some tv before calling it an early night, knowing tomorrow will be taxing.
