The Alpha in her Dreams

Fulfillment

“No. Talk now. What are you doing here?”

“We agreed to spend more time together and then you had dinner with Henry. I just wanted to see where we stood. I thought that you’d still be out. I came by to leave my number so that you could call me when you were ready to talk. I put it in your mailbox and was just leaving when you pulled up.”

Laurel sighed but didn’t say anything.

“I won’t lie and say that I’m sorry you’re not with Henry anymore. I have no doubt that we belong together, and I won’t apologize for that. But I do hate that you’re hurting.”

“I only hurt because I caused Henry pain. I know I did the right thing.” She paused and glared at him a little. “I didn’t break up with him because of you.”

His serious expression slowly turned into a smile. “I wouldn’t think that for a moment.”

“Good.”

She stood for a moment with her arms crossed against her chest. “How’s your jaw?”

“I’ve had much worse.” Shepherd grinned and gave her a charming wink before taking a step closer to her. “Do you want to be alone?”

“Not really.”

She’d been thinking about the Henry situation for a long time and now that it was over, she felt relieved. She didn’t want to sit and ruminate over their conversation all night.

“Well, did you eat? I could take you out to dinner or we could go inside and order pizza? Or talk…watch a movie... whatever you want.”

“Pizza sounds good. And a movie. I don’t feel much like talking.”

Shepherd gestured toward her building with a slight bow, “Lead the way.”

Shepherd’s hand fell to the small of her back as she passed him and led the way up the steps. The sensation that passed from his touch along her spine excited her, and she took a deep breath. She somehow knew that Shepherd was smiling and enjoying this without turning to look at his face. She gave him a quick tour of the apartment, and he made himself at home in the kitchen, bringing out his phone to order a pizza. After he hung up, he sat beside her on the couch and asked what they were going to watch.

“I don’t know. What types of movies do you like?”

“Anything but period pieces and sci-fi.”

“Really? The period pieces I get. I mean you’re a big, tough guy but sci-fi?!”

“A big tough guy can’t like period pieces?”

“I mean you don’t, so….” Laurel laughed.

“You’ve got a point there. Although I have a friend who is pretty tough and is a sucker for anything romantic, including period pieces.”

“So, what do you have against sci-fi?”

“It just feels a little too out of this world, too unrealistic for me, you know?”

“So, you like horror, comedy, and drama then?”

“Maybe skip the drama too.”

She laughed. “Alright, so horror or comedy then?”

“Yes, and animated. I love kid movies.”

“A surprise! I do too! How about Beauty and the Beast? It’s one of my favorites.”

“Sounds good to me.”

Before the movie was over, Laurel fell asleep on a pillow on Shepherd’s lap. She woke to the door opening and sat up, meeting Shepherd’s eyes. They reflected his contentment.

“Sorry. I fell asleep.”

“You can use me for your pillow anytime you want,” he replied with a charming smile.

Susu came into the room and fell onto the nearest chair. “Well, well, Laurel. You left with one guy and came back with another. Quite the little minx, aren’t you?”

Laurel groaned and leaned forward for the remote to turn the television off as Susu continued with a satisfied grin on her face.

“Nice to see you again, dream man.”

“Shepherd. His name is Shepherd. Can you stop now, please?”

“Yes, I can. Actually, I’m really tired so I’m going to head to bed, but I brought pastries for our brunch tomorrow. Don’t wake me up too early!”

After she left, Shepherd turned to Laurel with a mischievous glint in his eyes. “Too soon to stay the night?”

“It’s tempting, but we said we’d take it slow.”

“Well then, I should probably leave. Having you close to me for so long is wearing my restraint down. Your beautiful face…,” he caressed her cheek, sparks springing from his touch. “These scrumptious lips,” he leaned over to kiss her, gently but with so much passion.

She’d wanted his lips on her since they met, and she felt it in every inch of her body. He tugged on her bottom lip before releasing her lips and let his fingertips trace down her neck slowly, leaving her breathless.

“You’re not playing fair,” she moaned.

“I never said that I would. You make me ache with desire, Laurel.”

His face lingered dangerously close to hers, and she immediately closed the gap, straddling his lap, her dress coming up around her hips. She quickly met his lips, parting them with her tongue. Suddenly his hands were all over her, and she was grinding him as their tongues met and seemed to fight each other with intense desire. His hands grabbed her thighs, and his touch made her throb with longing. She could feel how hard he was as she pressed against him. Shepherd pulled back slightly, his eyes dark with lust.

“I want you so badly. But I don’t want you to regret this. Tell me to stop, Laurel, or I’ll take you right now.”

Her head felt foggy with craving, but the voice in the back of her mind wondered if she’d regret being with him so soon. She would be with him. She had no doubt about it anymore. No one had ever felt so right. But she wanted their first time to be special.

“I want you too,” she said breathlessly. “So much that it hurts. But I want our first time to be special. Maybe we should stop.”

“Let me help you with your desire. I can control myself.”

She nodded and he lifted her, keeping her legs wrapped around his waist, and carried her to the bedroom. Laurel felt him lower his head to the crook of her neck and inhale deeply, his body relaxing, before setting her on the edge of the bed. Her dress was still around her hips, and he knelt in front of her, looking her in the eyes as he spread her legs. Kissing the inside of her thighs, he slowly made his way to her core. Through her wet panties, his teeth gently nipped at her p***y. His warm breath against her already sensitive center created intense pleasure, and she moaned.

“Please, Shepherd.”

That was all that he needed to hear. He swiftly pulled her panties off, threw them to the side, and attacked her with hunger. She almost screamed in delight. His tongue felt rough, but Laurel was too turned on to ask why as he split her seam and began licking her. Then, concentrating on her bud, he sucked and nipped at it. She had never felt such intense pleasure as this. He held her hips down as she started to buck, not letting up as he moaned into her. When she thought she couldn’t take it anymore, he plunged two thick fingers into her v****a roughly and thrust in and out of her until she cried out in ecstasy.

Melting into the bed, her legs shook and her limbs felt heavy. Shepherd enjoyed every bit of her release, afterward crawling to lay beside her.

Looking into her eyes, he said one word, “Mine,” before kissing her deeply so that she could taste herself on his lips.

She could feel his hard bulge against her thigh and didn’t want him to go without. Rolling over onto her side, she unbuttoned his pants and worked her way down to grip his hard, long shaft. She started to massage him as he groaned into her hair.

“Laurel, I won’t last long.”

She let go and shimmied down to pull his pants off and hovered over him. She’d never seen such a large c**k. She wondered if she’d be able to open her mouth wide enough to take him but wanted to try. Taking him in her hand, she met his dark gaze and held his eyes as she licked the pre-c*m before slowly taking as much of him as she could and moving at a torturously slow pace.

“Oh goddess, that feels so good.”

He started to move his hips gently, thrusting into her mouth. She could tell by the way his hands gripped the sheets that he was trying to control himself. She quickened the pace, going deeper until she could feel him touch the back of her throat. He filled every part of her mouth.

“I’m about to c*m,” Shepherd groaned as he pushed against her shoulders to get her to release him.

Instead, she aggressively tightened her mouth around his c**k and went deeper and faster until she tasted his hot semen in her mouth. Pulling up until only the tip of his c**k was in her mouth, she used her hand to work his d**k while he orgasmed, drinking every bit of his arousal. When he finished, she wiped her mouth and crawled up beside him, draping her arm and leg around him. They both lay in complete contentment and silence for a long time, Shepherd running his fingers through her hair.

“I love you, Laurel. I don’t ever want to let you go. Nothing has ever felt as good as it feels when I’m with you.”

Laurel didn’t respond, but he felt her smile against his chest. Under her leg, she could feel him harden.

She looked up in surprise, “Again?”

“Well, I’m…” Shepherd paused, and his face looked like he was searching for the words to say. Finally, he grinned and said, “I think this may be an issue with you. I’m afraid I’ll never be soft when you’re wrapped around me.” After a moment, he added, “I don’t want to leave, but I don’t think I can trust myself around you. I would never pressure you to have s*x when you’re not ready, but I think I better head back to my hotel room and take a long, cold shower.”

She nodded, understanding how he felt. Instead of relieving her desires, their act of passion had just intensified her need to have him bury himself deep inside of her.

“When can I see you again?”

She sighed happily and sat up. “I’m having brunch with Susu mid-morning, but we could meet in the afternoon. And then Monday, I’ll have to go back to work.”

She thought about how awkward that would be. Henry didn’t work on the same floor as her, but she was sure word would get around the building quickly that they’d split up. It was only a matter of time before they ran into each other. Shepherd sensed her worry and reminded her with a slight smirk that she never had to return to work if she didn’t want to. He had every intention of winning her over- to his town and his bed.
