The Sorceress & The Alpha

Worries Aside

After the whole fuzz, Aubrey asked Troy if they could go back to the penthouse and just have a calm evening with a cup of tea. Once they arrived, and without Troy being able to say something, Aubrey walked directly to the kitchen and put some water boiling in the kettle pot. 

“Luna, I’m the one that is supposed to serve you, not the other way around.”

“Sorry, old habits.” She said while looking for the ingredients in the cabinets. “And it’s Aubrey, not Luna.”

“Sorry, old habits.” both chuckled lightly at the joke. After a couple of minutes she handed him a hot cup of tea. Troy took a small sip and looked at Aubrey in shock. “Luna, I mean Aubrey, this is amazing. I’m not a tea kind of guy but this… what is this?”

“Black tea with ginger and lemongrass. It is an energetic beverage. Healthier than a soda.” She smiled at him while he drank the whole thing.

“Another one, please?” 

After a couple of hours they were both easing at each other and actually joking about a few things. Troy talked about his mate and his two kids, Aubrey told him that he should bring them over. He explained that the kids were currently at school and his mate worked downtown at Donovan’s hotel but he could bring them over for dinner if the alpha agreed with that. Aubrey talked to him about her life back at the coven and some of the things she has liked so far, like botany and pedicures. 

Troy was laughing so hard that he didn’t hear the elevator dinging open, “No! I swear, Troy! Little fish eat your feet and they end up softer!” Aubrey said, trying to explain herself. 

“Having fun?” Donovan said, both of them stopped laughing and incorporated themselves. 

“Welcome back, alpha!” Troy said nervously. 

“Relax, Troy.” Donovan rolled his eyes and then looked at Aubrey, “it is nice to hear you laugh.”

Aubrey smiled nervously and put a strand of hair behind her ear. 

“So what were you talking about?” Donovan entered the kitchen and poured himself a scotch while Troy explained to him what they have done during the day. He stopped listening to him once he noticed that Aubrey was staring intently at her cup of tea, her cheeks blushing intensely and heat was radiating from her. 

“And so, that’s how I became a nightclub dancer.”

Donovan snapped out of his thoughts with this last part, “A what?” 

“Well, you obviously stopped listening a while ago, wanted to know how far I could go before you actually returned to Earth.” 

“My apologies, Troy. It has been a complicated day, but I’m glad to hear you had a good time.”

Troy nodded in understanding, not only of his apology but the intention behind it, “Very well, Alpha. I will let you both rest, if you grant me your permission.” 

“Of course, Troy. Excellent work as always, I saw Natalie on my way up so I’m sure she must be with the kids already.”

Troy jumped out of his seat at the mention of his mate, “Great! Then good night Alpha and Luna. Hope you have a nice rest.” He said with a wink before disappearing. 

Once he heard the elevator closing, Donovan approached Aubrey from behind. “Is everything ok, my love?”

Aubrey jumped when she sensed how close he was but she didn’t want to look up. Since the moment Donovan entered the room, everything she could think about was how sexy he looked without a shirt on and how much she just wanted to see that again. She felt Donovan’s hand cupping her chin to gently force her to look at him. She could feel her face getting at least 5 shades darker with his eyes staring at her. She could sense his body heat even though he was one feet apart from her and her own body suddenly felt cold and in need of his arms around her. 

She didn’t want to keep overthinking things anymore, if this ended up being a mistake at least she could be certain of it instead of wondering forever. With a single step forward and standing on her toes, she closed the gap between them and kissed him. She could sense Donovan tense with the sudden reaction but he embraced it immediately and wrapped his arms around her waist and responded to the kiss tenderly. But tender was not good enough for her, tangling her fingers in his hair she deepened the kiss. Her tongue started dancing in his mouth and a small moan escaped from her throat.

Donovan responded with a growl and started rummaging his mate’s body. He put his hands around her tights and in a swift synced motion she ended up straddling him from the waist. Aubrey could already feel his body responding to her. 

Donovan broke the kiss and looked directly at Aubrey, "Are you sure about this?" Aubrey nodded vigorously and returned to kissing him. Her hands traveled freely against his torso, wanting nothing more than to rip the fabric off. Without noticing when Donovan started walking she suddenly felt her back hitting something soft. Looking around she noticed that they were inside a room. Seeing as it was not hers, it must be Donovan's. 

Almost as if Donovan could hear her thoughts, he took his shirt off, giving her that god-carved view once again. Without wasting any time she took her own shirt off. Donovan took a deep breath at the sight. He returned to kissing her, his lips more demanding, his body more desperate to be close to her. He left her lips and started traveling through her body, starting with her neck, passing by her collarbone and reaching her breasts. His hands met him on the way up, moving from her hips towards her back, unclasping her bra in a swift motion. 

Aubrey gasped at the sudden freedom. Wondering momentarily how many times he has done this to do it so fast but she soon pushed those thoughts aside. She didn't care what Donovan did before her, she didn't want to think about her life before meeting him. She just wanted to enjoy this, her present; and hopefully, her future.
