The Alpha's Bed Friend

CHAPTER THREE

Jessica exhales with relief when Tessa leaves the room without noticing anything. Her eyes lock on the bed where she and Klaus just had their first ice breaker. She didn't think the word s*x was the standard term to use, but she sure got the chance to know the Alpha better.... or maybe a little bit more than better.

Klaus was her second patient for the day, she just had one more patient left to attend too and then a mountain of paperwork. s*x did relieve some of her stress but it surely didn't lessen the workload.

Jessica pulled up the next patient file. The patient was eighteen, pregnant and healthy. Jessica saw her last week and referred her to the pack's OB-GYN since she was not a specialist in women's health. She wasn't sure why the young lady was returning to her office but she was hoping that nothing had gone wrong with the pregnancy.

For lunch, Jessica was having a hamburger. Drops of ketchup from her hamburger was making a mess on the paperwork she was trying to get done but she had to finish the work on time. She had been staying at the clinic until eight at night every day this week because of these paperwork.

And it was already the last day of the working week, she just wanted to be on her bed watching a romance movie while munching on some popcorn and drinking some orange juice.

Anita, her patient showed up right on time. She is wearing baggy clothes over her frail body. The hot summer wouldn't agree to her choice of outfit. She wore the same thing last week which makes Jessica suspect she is hiding her pregnancy.

Jessica smiles at her, wanting her to feel welcome. Whether she wants to hide her pregnancy or not is none of Jessica's business. As a professional, Jessica's only concern is the girls health.

"Hi Anita, how do you feel?".

She smiles and sits on a metal chair beside the bed. She faces Jessica but her feet still faces the door. She feels restless, her body language is definitely giving her away. She doesn't feel safe in here. Is she scared of someone coming in and seeing her in here?

"Hi Jessica, I'm okay. I uh, I didn't go to the OB-GYN".

"And why is that?". Jessica asks.

She crossed her arms over her mid-section. "I think I want an abortion".

Jessica isn't surprised, because she never seemed too excited about the pregnancy.

"I see, well I'm not licensed for that procedure. Do you want me to refer you to another doctor if you don't like your OB-GYN?".

She looks at the door, and then back at Jessica. "I really don't want my condition to be disclosed to anyone else in the pack. Professional or not".

Her hesitation and words bother Jessica. She is so skittish that it feels like someone is coercing her.

"Anita, how are you doing at home? I know this is a difficult stage in your life, but I want you to know that there is a support system for you regardless of what you choose to do. Are you doing this because you want to or does someone else want it for you?".

Her eyes flood. "No, my mate loves me, but I'm too young. He said he doesn't want to ruin my life and that he will surely stay with me even after I abort".

Jessica can smell the bullshit in this promise as clearly as she can smell Alpha Klaus scent lingering in the room.

Stay focused Jessica, this isn't the time to start having crazy thoughts or having wild imagination.

"I want to recommend that you speak to a counselor. Or if you want to be referred to another........"

"Nevermind". She stands up. "I have to go". Her baggy clothes flutter behind as she rushes out.

Jessica heart sinks when she leaves. She sighs. She is worried about her but she knows its her decision to make to accept her help or not. She is of legal age so that means she had the right to make decisions for herself. Jessica just hopes that those decisions would be the right one.

Jessica turns back to her pile of paper work and her stresses multiples. She needs another dose of Alpha Klaus.

Hours later, there's a knock at the door.

"Come in".

"Hey boss". Tessa greets. "The other nurses left already. And there's a party at the new bar downtown. Do you want to go with me?"

"Tessa, did you hit your head today like Alpha?".

She comes in and plops herself on the bed.

"What are you talking about?" She asks.

"You know I don't do clubs and bars. I barely do the outside and besides I have a lot of work to do". Jessica says while showing Tessa the load of paperwork on her table.

Tessa groans, "I know you enjoy funerals more than parties, but I need you to go with me".

"Shoo!! go away!".

"Ok, what about tomorrow? will you come then?".

"Yeah, sure". Jessica cave in to get rid of her.

Tessa jumps of the bed. "Great! And oh don't you dare show up wearing scrubs or I'll wipe the floor with you". Tessa warns before leaving.

Jessica knew how Tessa was, she definitely wouldn't dare.

The rest of Jessica's day was spent on her bed. Jessica's cabin is small, minimal and placed at the edge of the woods. She chose it because she wanted to be isolated from the pack. Maybe Tessa was right, She was the grumpiest, most introverted werewolf in existence.

Saturday comes and goes too fast for Jessica's liking. One moment she was reading a romance novel the next she is being dragged out of her cabin by Tessa.

Jessica feels she would one day move out of the country and not tell her.

Tessa drives Jessica to the bar. Jessica is wearing a ripped jeans, a black tank top and a white flip flops. Jessica didn't get the chance to change because Tessa didn't let her. The bar was filled with drunks, bored, soul searching and horny wolves. R&B music plays in the background and Jessica could see some familiar faces.

This isn't Jessica's scene, she preferred to read a book over the weekend over clubbing with friends. She didn't like asking people to repeat themselves because of the loud music, how the ice in her drink melts fast because she sips it too slow. Jessica didn't like being here and it made her uncomfortable.

Jessica smiles at the three pack members that greets her, she decides she has reached the limit of her socializing. She unlocks her phone and opens her reading app. And picks up her reading from where she stopped. When the story reaches a s*x scene. She raises her head to see and make sure nobody is looking over her shoulder and reading her screen.

She dims the screen brightness, minimizes the font, pulls her phone close and hopes no one can smell her arousal.

The s*x between the characters are mediocre and it wasn't giving her the pleasure she wanted.

"Jessica" Tessa hisses and slams a beer on the table in front of her. "Turn that damn phone off and relax!"

"Relaxing is above my pay grade". Jessica grumbles and tosses the beer back. She looks around the bar, this time studying the tables and people around. Then her eyes catches someone at the corner which makes her to clean her eyes and check again.

Klaus is here, and he is staring hard at her. How long has he been looking? Did he notice her behaviors as she read through her novel? Could he smell her arousal? Damn why is he here in the first place?

Jessica belly flops and she became unsettled. She wasn't sure if it was because of the alcohol or because of this intoxicating man.

And he's not alone. A female sits across him, short black hair and Jessica could see the beginning of a tattoo on her right shoulder. Jessica couldn't see anything else.

Hours ago, he was with her or more precisely he was inside her, now he's with another. Whatever, she knew that casual s*x is what she signed up for. No strings or expectations attached.

Jessica looks away, not wanting to be caught by Tessa. But Klaus definitely has other plans, it seems. The man stands and walks down straight to Jessica's direction. Through her peripheral vision, Jessica sees the crowd parting like the red sea to make space for him.

Jessica glances back. He has her hooked.

He stops a foot away. Tall, strong, sturdy. He's shoulders are too broad, veins too stark on his forearms and eyes too confident.

"Doctor". He regards. "May I have a word with you outside?".

He doesn't give Jessica time to respond. He walks off obviously expecting Jessica to follow which she does.

Outside, Jessica crosses her arms over her chest. Her body temperature has dropped, her crazy instincts trying to drive her into Klaus arms for warmth.

"You must have questions, I presume?". He says, his voice deep and strong.

"Regarding?". Jessica asks a bit confused.

"The woman I'm with". he answers. "I want no complications, so I will clarify your doubts. I definitely do not have other s*x arrangements or romantic ties with any other woman. if you see me with a female company, it's because I brought them along for appearances. They know better than to expect anything else from me".

Jessica taps her flip flops on the stained concrete. To her, this was an unnecessary exchange. She would rather be reading her novel in the boring bar.

"There must be a misunderstanding, Alpha. I have no interest in other arrangements you may or may not have, and I trust that you won't complicate this by getting romantically involved with another woman. We're just pure entertainment to each other. To satisfy each other needs, that's it. I know better than to get attached. I hope you do too".

That last sentence was necessary and needed to be emphasized.

Klaus raises an eyebrow and takes a step forward. "Have you done this before?".

"No".

Honestly, Jessica hasn't been in a friend's with benefits arrangement before, but still that wasn't a relevant question. He should be concerned about how to give me an unimaginable pleasure.

Jessica tip her head towards the entrance. "I should head back, my friend must be looking for me".

He looks behind me, as if something in the distance caught his attention. "Yes, go. I'll see you soon".

See her soon? Jessica shudder, Loving the thought of having him inside her again.

He walks around me and disappears into the darkness to investigate whatever caught his attention. Jessica takes a step towards the entrance, but a female walks out, blocking it.

It was the female Klaus was with. And she definitely doesn't look happy.

"And you are?". the lady demands.

Goodness, all that Jessica wants is to read her novel in peace. Why does everyone in the pack want to get in between her and the mediocre s*x in chapter thirty?

Jessica gives her an irritated look.

Seeing that she wasn't going to answer, she adds, "You know I'm Klaus lover, right?"

Perhaps a past lover. This lady should take a seat because she is talking to her replacement.

"Congrats, when is the wedding?" Jessica replies sarcastically.

"Soon".

Jessica raise an eyebrow. "Oh really, that's a shame. Because of you, the poor priest will have to complete both a wedding and an exorcism in one day".

"What!!".

Jessica hears a chuckle. It's the deep, thundering laughter of Klaus.

He heard all of that!!! Whoops.
