Alex POV:
As the two reached the kitchen, Alex looked around a little lost, he wasn’t the one who normally cooked and was unsure as to where everything was kept. “Are you ok?” Fia asked curiously as she took in his facial expressions. “Yeah, I am just letting my creative juices have a moment to ponder what to make.” Alex responded sheepishly as he scratched his head. “I can cook if that’s easier,” Fia smiled as she opened the fridge and observed its contents. “If you are ok with nothing fancy, can whip up some eggs?” her voice wrapped itself like a warm blanket around Alex as he nodded. “I can put on some toast then” he said, moving to the loaf of bread in the fridge. “ Sounds like we are going to be a good tag team then.” Fia smiled as she turned to the stove and experimented with the drawers and cabinets to find a bowl, whisk and a frying pan. The two stayed silent as the sounds of the cooking consumed the room. Fia whipped up some scrambled eggs with chives and cheese within ten minutes and Alex was feeling proud of his toasting skills. The two were happy in each others space and once they moved to the table, they both sat in silence. Alex’s wolf was annoying him as he ran around excitedly and tried to get Alex to move closer. Looking at Fias face, he could also tell that she was also having an inner battle with her wolf as well. Once they had cleared their plates, Fia moved to take the towel next to Alexs chair but accidently bumped her arm against his.
They both froze as he acknowledged the sparks that ran along his skin. Alex heard Fia gasp as she hurriedly went to move back which caused him to reflexively take hold of her arm and pull her closer onto his lap. Letting his wolf take over, he wrapped his arms around her waist with her back to his chest and took in her scent. His eyes were dilating as he felt no resistance from her. He could hear her heart beat increase and seemed to mould into his body frame. With his left hand, he moved her chin to the side and up so that they were locked in a gaze. Both lost in each other, Alex moved his head down and kissed het lips lightly, showing care and awareness that she might not be interested. To his surprise, she responded more aggressively, as if her life depended on this kiss. She moved her body away from him, causing him to growl briefly before seeing her come closer again, placing them face to face. He felt her arms wrap around his neck as they both locked lips and took in each others essence. Their bodies gelled together as they tried to move closer. He felt his body react instantly as his member began to stiffen. Low growls escaped his lips as he moved his lips down her jaw line to her neck. When he reached her collar bone where a sense of possessiveness came over Alex. He knew this was the spot to mark your mate and part of him wanted to take her here and now. His wolf was pushing and egging them on, he licked his lips before planting a soft kiss on her mate spot. He heard her moan and tighten her grip on his neck, holding him in place. With a soft growl, Alex was about to sink his fangs in when the light flicked on and a flustered Logan broke their instant need for carnal desires.
“Alex…. Fia,” he said breathlessly taking in the view and turning around with a small grin on his lips. “ My apologies, did I interrupt something?” Logan asked, a false sense of innocence in his tone. Alex growled in annoyance as he felt Fia release herself from him and turn the attention to his soon-to-be-dead-unless-this-was-important Beta. “What do you think…” he growled as he turned back to Fia who was now red in the face with embarrassment. “I do apologise but this can’t wait…” he said quietly. “We have finally broken one of the captures from that night. They are willing to talk.” Alex head lifted quickly as he turned in shock. “That was quick,” he said as he stood up and gave Fia a look of comfort as he moved closer to Logan. “Lead the way,” he said solemnly ”Are you coming?” he asked Fia who nodded quietly and joined their group. “Let’s find out what those dogs were planning.” Alex growled as they moved through the silent pack house, turning to catch a glimpse of nervous Fia before reaching the doors to the basement and thugs who tried to kill his mate.
