Chapter 17: Worth The Wait (Oliver's POV)
My head still feels off from the coronation. But it is done. I am officially Beta. I wonder who will replace me when I become Leigh's mate. I stop in my tracks startling Leigh. She had been in her own world too. Did I really just let myself accept the possibility that I could be that lucky of a man. I feel as if a weight has been lifted off me. Finally accepting I have a chance. That I'm at least a player in this game.
I look over at her she looks so damn perfect. It causes me to smile. I feel so happy to be with her. "What's the smile for babe." She asks with her own smile beaming back at me.
"That. You. Earlier. Every moment I'm with you." I pull her closer to me. Wrapping myself around her. You will be mine is all I can think. Her smile brightens even more. Does she feel it too? The sense of hope. The moment I fell to the ground it was as if it was to worship her. I can and will do just that.
We walk around talking to other high-ranked officials and others of that sort. Leigh grabs me telling me she wants to introduce me to a family friend Anya. Anya was not what I was expecting. She looks like Barbie just stepped out of the box. I sense something about her because she is different. Not a wolf. I raise an eyebrow to Leigh.
"Anya is a witch. She is in town helping to protect our borders. We can never be too safe."
"Oh very nice to meet you, Anya. Ummm... I'm going to get a drink. Do you want one, Baby Girl?" She shakes her head no as I walk away.
I'm not a fan of witchcraft and don't want to be rude to Leigh's friend so I decided it was best to separate. I witness Liv get into a scuffle with Sarah but it is quickly handled. I'm proud of my sister and the way she handled herself. I continue toward the kitchen.
I am starving and I need to eat. The wait staff all bow and utter Beta as I walk past. A guy could get used to it. It would be even better to hear Alpha. Only because that would mean I was Leigh's. I find the food that is set up for the after-party and devour a few handfuls of finger foods before I hear a familiar voice. It's my mom's.
"What she did out there is blasphemous. Not one but both of my children James."
"It is her choice, Glenda. We do not question things when it comes to Leigh. She is guided by our Goddess." James responds.
"Bullshit that girl is driven by her hormones. She doesn't care about the repercussions of her actions." My mother shoots back.
"We will all talk about this tomorrow Glenda. In a more private setting. For now, go home and get ready for the life you have always wanted with your mate." James says dismissing my mother's presence.
What is my mom's problem with Leigh and me and what does Liv have to do with it. My head hurts. I just want to go find Leigh, but I can't find her anywhere. I go to the room we shared earlier and change out of this damn suit. The formal party is ending and now it is time for the after-party. I'm now in blue camo board shorts and a black t-shirt that says "Hold My Beer and Watch This". It feels nice to be in my normal attire, but both my wolf and I are desperate to find Leigh.
I find my way back downstairs and still can't find her. It's like the entire school is here along with anyone under the age of 25 from all three packs. That is probably the case. This place could easily contain us all. After what feels like hours I still haven't spotted Leigh but I did locate Jace and Liv. They both look blissed out on each other but I don't see any markings from here. Something appears to have caught Jace's eye so I follow it.
Mychael is standing talking to someone. As he shifts slightly I come to find that it is Leigh. I have been looking for her everywhere and I find her talking to another Alpha. The growl that rips from me parts the crowd in front of me. I stomp like a child over to Leigh who moves forward.
"Oliver. Calm down. Let's go for a walk." She pulls me away from making a scene and like a love-struck puppy, I follow.
When we make it outside she stops and rounds on me. "What the hell was that about?"
"What was that about? I have been trying to find you for hours now. And when I do find you, you are talking to an Alpha dressed in that." I shout fully taking in the itty bitty silver halter bikini she is wearing with a silver wrap skirt.
She laughs. She f*****g laughs causing me to growl leaving her pouting. "I'm sorry should I be wearing a moo moo, should I not be talking to guests at my family's house?"
"No, you look crazy hot in this. I know what I'm thinking when I look at you in it. I just don't want others thinking about it as well."
"Mychael had been talking to both Anya and me. She had just stepped away to get drinks. They were talking about dancing but I told them I needed to find a place to stay so I could find you." She wraps her arms around my neck and looks up at me through her long lashes. "I missed you."
"I missed you too Baby Girl," I tell her smiling down at her.
"So why are we having a pool party. It's getting kinda cool out."
"The pool is indoor and it's heated. Plus we have the most special hot tub you will ever see."
"Yeah. I remember something about a hot tub being mentioned earlier. When do I get to go see it?"
"We could go now." She responds while biting her lower lip. f**k can I be that lip for just one day? I follow behind her while trying to adjust myself. We enter a room that looks more like a cave. With a walkway along one walk and a pool of water along the other. You can see the steam rise from it into the air. The walkway twists and turns so there are plenty of nooks to hide in and never be seen from someone just looking in. She guilds us to the very back that has a waterfall.
She removes her skirt showing that her bottoms are even smaller than I thought, with there only being a small triangle of fabric in the front kept onto her by just a few stings. She giggles at what my reaction must look like before stepping into the water. She disappears under the waterfall and I see that it obstructs most of her from my view. I quickly follow behind her finding a bench and pulling her into my lap.
"Baby Girl. Do you know how dangerous this suit is to your health? There's a strong possibility I won't be able to control my wolf or myself from taking you right here right now."
She smiles at me before asking "You like it."
"f**k I'm about two seconds from coming all over it," I tell her as she moves to straddle my lap.
"You want to come on it?"
"On it, next to it, in you. I will take whatever release I can get right now. This has become painful." I tell her moving her hand to rest over my c**k. We are at full attention for her. Even more so as she starts to rock her hips against it. Two thin pieces of clothing are all that separate me from the promise land. You can barely call what she is wearing clothing. I kiss her deeply pulling her closer to me so that my straining member is rubbing exactly over her sweet spot. f**k. She feels so good.
A small moan escapes her making me speed up my thrusts against her. Who knew dry humping could be so rewarding. We are both on the edge when we hear voices close by.
"s**t" she murmurs pulling her top back up. I don't even remember how it came undone but I do remember them being shoved into my face as she rode my lap. She turns pressing her bottom into my erection. Her hand sliding between us as she continues to take care of my very hard problem.
Goddess let these assholes just go away. I need her to finish this soon. Blue balls are not pleasant. I have learned that lesson a lot since I've met Leigh. My bulge is sitting in between her ass cheeks as she continues to fondle me, I grab her hips to grind that perfect ass over me as she keeps watch for anyone coming closer. I am panting trying not to draw attention to us. Imagining myself in her tight little hole as we do this. I grab her waist with one of my hands pulling her tighter against me as a small moan escapes her lips and I am done for. I release burying my face into her back to not growl out my relief. I don't think I have ever came that hard in my life.
Leigh is still looking for friction as she grinds against my thigh. I pull her back closer to me as she whimpers but I make it better by shifting her bottoms to the side and inserting a finger in her. I could feel her relief as I start to move. The voices from earlier are getting closer and I wanted her sated before they make an appearance. Unfortunately for her, that doesn't happen.
"Oops, I guess someone else found the most awesome makeout spot in the house." It's Sam and Garrett. Sam, I'm ok with. She may just join us in getting Leigh off. But Garrett needs to go away. Leigh sighs and pulls us from under the waterfall and out to a bench in the dimly lit open spring area.
"LEIGH," Sam squeals. Wow, she is already plastered. She jumps into Leigh's lap which is on my lap. That makes a Leigh sandwich. After my new favorite movie staring the two lovelies in my lap I quickly grow back to attention. Sam's hand grazes across it as she grabs at Leigh's ass. "f**k Beta who knew you were rocking a bazooka in them shorts." She whispers yells in her drunken state.
Leigh hisses at Sam. "Mine."
"Well, then how about you be mine for a minute and we give our guys a show." She tells Leigh pulling her up before kissing her deeply and untying first her top and then Leigh's. Pierced n*****s rubbing against pierced n*****s. I forget that Garrett is even there since I can't see him. My hand is on my c**k as I watch Sam's hand slid down Leigh's stomach and into her tiny bottoms. Leigh moans as she is still sensitive and looking for her release that she was denied.
Sam buries her face in Leigh's chest as they stand in the middle of the spring area. Leigh's hands roam over Sam's chest as she starts to fall apart. She looks directly at me as she finally releases unable to keep the sounds of ecstasy from escaping her. I would have loved to have been the one to make her come but the show was worth the second c*m stain in my shorts. That's when I remember we are not alone. I pull Leigh back to me and fix her top.
"My girl does put on an awesome show. What do you think Oliver?" Garrett asks from his seated position. Looking as if he hadn't been affected at all by the two naughty girls in front of me.
"f**k you, Garrett."
"That's the second time I've had front row seats for that particular show." He responds as I realize that he was there the day in the shop when my favorite movie was made. With a growl, I grab Leigh's hand and drag her out of the spring.
Leigh giggles behind me as I pull her away. First making sure her skirt is back in place and then covering her with my shirt. "Why do you get to show your goodies and I don't?"
"Not the time Leigh," I respond but I can't help the smile on my face when I see how hot she looks in my shirt. It's so big on her I could imagine it's the only thing she is wearing. She smells like me, not like Sam, and definitely not like Garrett. I move her inside keeping a hold on her hand to not lose her again.
We find drinks and food while we talk to Jace and Liv. Jace looks like he just wants to disappear with Liv. I know the feeling. Liv and Leigh though are both adamantly talking about gossip from the party so far. I tone it out after a while and just sit enjoying the feel of Leigh in my arms. She is yawning barely able to walk when I suggest going back to her room.
I pick her up bridal style as she cradles into my chest. Once we get to the room I set her down and watch her strip. It causes my c**k to stir but she is spent. After her suit was removed she puts my shirt and only my shirt on before climbing into bed. I change into fresh boxers before climbing in behind her. I could do this for the rest of my life and be happy. Well, there are definitely some more naughty things I would like to be doing but this is worth it. This is worth the wait.
I woke up a few hours later with my hard-on pressed firmly into Leigh's center. My friend had escaped the hole of my underwear and is literally nestled against her slick opening. One small push to heaven. I stare down at how perfect this image is and becoming impossibly harder by the second. I rub the head across her folds. Trying desperately not to wake her and trying not to take that one leap to be fully inside of her. I can only imagine how good she would feel wrapped tightly around c**k as I am buried deep, all the way to the hilt. I know that I am playing with fire here but I can't stop myself from walking that fine line.
She feels so good against me. I stroke myself thinking how good she feels and how much better she will feel wrapped around me. f**k. Before I know it I've c*m. My juices running down her ass in between her cheek. It's all I can do to not get hard again. I roll on my back panting. Trying to control myself. The thoughts running through my head are making it even harder to do that.
I finally fall back asleep. When I wake up again Leigh is sprawled out on my chest. She is tracing the lines of my abs. "That feels amazing Baby Girl." I look down and see that I'm still not concealed by my boxers. "You know you like to test my restraint. Sleeping with no underwear. Totally hot and something I love but when I'm not allowed to... it makes for some really awkward stains on your sheets."
She laughs. "I was wondering why I had c*m on my ass. Let's get out of bed before I tempt you anymore."
"What do you want to do after we shower. I feel the need to wash you."
She giggles pressing her face into my chest. "It's kind of embarrassing but Sunday is a rest day. So I spend it most Sundays playing Call Of Duty."
"No way I love Call Of Duty."
"You want to play with me. We have a huge game room."
"I always want to play with you Baby Girl, but I would love to play video games with you. Don't we have a meeting today?"
"Yeah but that's not until later."
We quickly shower after I play with her a little just enough for her to get off. She says I got off last night so I don't need it this morning. I'm just glad she didn't get mad at me.
She leads me to a room on the second floor. It's located in the center. No windows just oversized comfy chairs and big TVs. She grabs a couple of remotes while I sit in one of the biggest recliners. She comes over and sits in my lap with the remotes.
"Is this your tactical strategy to win?"
"It's always wise to use everything you have to your advantage. All is fair in love and war babe."
This stops me short. Did she just hint at loving me or just making a clever pun? "So what's your gamer tag Baby Girl."
"JadeLove713"
"What? No way. Have you always had that name?"
"For about six years. Why?"
"That is so funny. We used to play together and talk all the time. I'm RedoneB2."
"You have got to be shitting me. No way."
"Yeah, we stopped playing together because..."
"You got this weird message that I was a dude and wanted to do some nasty things with you."
"Yes. It freaked me out because I thought you were so cool. A girl who liked Call Of Duty. I figured I should have known better."
"Yeah. I had a blast when we played. You were so sweet. Always wanted to be on my team because you couldn't bring yourself to shoot a girl." Her smile is so big right now. We really did have a lot of fun back then. I looked forward to every Sunday. We would play and talk all day. But then that message.
"So what was that message."
"That message was Jace. My overprotective cousin. That message was what caused us to fight for the last four years." She losses her smile.
"Until I got that message, I was always curious what you looked like. 13 year old me imagined a hot but a little nerdy chick playing COD."
She grabs her phone and looks through her timeline. "This picture was taken when I was in Australia. About a month after we stopped talking." She tells me as she shows me the picture on her phone.
13 year old me would have spent the entire summer jerking off to this picture. Her chest was a little smaller then and her body not as insanely toned as it is now, but she had curves in all the right places.
She scrolls to the next picture. She is standing next to my mom and a few other adults. "This is when you met my mom."
"This was the summer she told me my mate was here."
"Really. She told me my mate was here when I was ten."
"What had she been holding out on you for the first ten years of your life."
"It doesn't work that way. She says all of a sudden the fates lock and that shift allows her to be able to sense your mate's location."
"So what happened that day. What shifted."
"The only thing that happened that day was that I got the s**t scared out of me by the Alpha. Jace snuck me into his house for some snacks and then we were going to go play in his room but we got caught."
