Benson's POV
I had been so angry when I woke up to find that Lucy wasn't next to me. To make matters even worse, Clara would not stop messaging and calling me after I had gone to her house the other after my run. I had gone to tell her that we would no longer be sharing a bed with each other now that my mate was in my life and it was safe to say she did not appreciate how I broke things off.
Now that Lucy was in my life, I had no reason to want Clara, even though I and Lucy's relationship was just for the public, and I'm not sure I ever really did. I had told Clara that our meetings would never be more than s*x to me because I never wanted to be committed to anyone other than my mate. Anything outside that rare relationship was purely emotionless. However, Clara had obviously thought I would change my mind and commit to her and had even gone as far as to try and persuade me into staying with her yesterday. Even after I kept refusing and telling her I wasn't interested she would not acknowledge me and that was why I wasn't home in time for dinner, much to my disappointment. I want to spend more time with my mate and Clara was only making the situation harder than it had to be.
Then to make my day even worse, I saw Lucy in nothing but Luke's shirt and his scent all over her. The events of the previous night and this morning caught up with me and I snap. Being an Alpha I was even more protective of my girl and the punishment for having s*x with someone else's mate was banishment or death. Regardless of whether I had claimed her or not, or if she was not my mate but the fake one, I guess I have started falling in love with Lucy, she is still my mate and I was not going to allow anyone else to touch her.
I had calmed down significantly when Lucy wrapped her arms around my neck, pressing her body against mine. She just had that effect on me, and with my manhood pressing against her thigh, my wold wanted me to take her right then and there. Ignoring my instincts, I let her pull me so that our foreheads are touching and she cups and caresses my cheek.
When she asks me if I want some of the scrambled eggs and bacon she made I can only nod and let her pull me towards the bench, gesturing at me to take a seat as she organises my breakfast.
I eat the food eagerly and I hate to admit it, but Luke was right; Lucy's food was amazing. Whilst her name was unusual, the name suits her well because she seems to glow and radiate light. There was no doubt that she was beautiful with her seemingly endless blond waves with streaks of brown.
Her hazel eyes caress my features as I eat and her pink, plump lips part and I can't help but want to run my tongue over the seam of those lips.
Snapping out of the little haze, I decided to let Lucy know my plans for the rest of the day.
"I'm having a pack meeting today to welcome you into the pack and let everyone know you are my mate."
"Okay. Sounds good." Was all she said in reply.
I nod back at her. "Good. I'll have one of the girls take you shopping for something to wear."
She nods in agreement and I hop out of my chair, taking my dirty dishes to the sink and rinsing my plate before placing it in the dishwasher.
[Luke. Tell everyone about the meeting. It will be held at lunchtime at my parent's house. Get someone to organise food.] I inform Luke, telepathically.
[Yes, Alpha.*' He replies and nods in my direction before excusing himself.
[Of course, Alpha.] I could almost see him rolling his eyes. Asshole.
[If you ever look at my mate like you were again, there will be hell to pay.]
I was out helping Mark, my third in command, and a few other older shifters train the younger ones. I was currently fighting against a boy named Chris who was around the same age as me to show the others what to do.
As he throws a punch, I duck and kick. He sees my actions and grabs my leg like I knew he would. In retaliation, I twist out of his hold and wing my leg up to kick him in the nose, hearing something c***k and instantly knowing I'd broken something. I'd feel remorseful if I didn't know it would heal in an hour. He tries to knock me out with a right hook, but I catch his fist in my hand, not even flinching at the impact. I twist his arm behind his back and push him to the ground.
[You know her. Not everyone likes her. Seems someone just wasn't one to put up with her s**t] He replies.
[I wasn't aware she was injured.]
"Just remember to read your player. Take in everything they do and use it to your advantage." I help Charissa off the floor and we pump fists.
The other teenagers nod their heads and pair up.
[Alpha, Clara has informed me she is not well and will not be attending the meeting.] Mark tells me through the link.
[Not well? What's wrong?] I answered.
[She is recovering from an injury.] Mark answers, sounding incredibly vague.
[Alright. That's fine.] And with that, I block him out.
Just in case you weren't aware Clara was injured when Poppy bit her tail. Lucy's bum is in pain because of that. Hehe. :) Poppy also bit Lucy's back if you remember that.
Lucy stood before, her naked body seductively sauntering closer toward me. A few minutes ago we had some really hot s*x and neither of us was willing to call it a night just yet. Lucy watched my eyes which were trained on her body. Her curly red hair was long, probably a bit too long for my tastes, but I guess it was good for pulling.
Her turquoise eyes seemed to be eye-f*****g me, and hey, I wasn't complaining, not in the slightest. She was a great hook-up with great t**s and a body that so many other girls killed for.
We regularly f****d because I liked that she was always easy and ready when I wanted her to be. Other girls I slept with tended to be too clingy and expected a happily ever after once I had slept with them. I didn't roll that way. I was the alpha, I didn't have time to deal with girls looking for their 'Prince Charming'. I wasn't it and I definitely didn't need a clingy female on my hands.
"See something you like, baby?" Her voice breaks through my thoughts. I watch as the bed dips as she crawls on her hands and knees over to where I lay. I hold down the urge to barf at the use of 'baby'. I didn't do terms of endearments either. What was the point when it just gave women false ideas of what this arrangement was? It felt weird for her to call me 'baby'. Her using that term towards me felt wrong as if she wasn't supposed to be the one using it. I couldn't hep but feel as though there was someone else out there who was meant to call me that instead of Lucy.
Ignoring that badgering feeling, I pull Lucy on top of me, urging her closer as she runs her fingers over my ripped body. Hey, I worked out. Unfortunately, even after she licks a path from my chest to my navel before continuing further down, my manhood remains soft.
I sigh, slightly annoyed, as I begin to tease myself, getting myself hard enough to be able to enter her. I want to roll my eyes when she whispers "Baby, you're so hard," but once again resist the urge.
Grabbing my ass, she pulls me into her and begins moaning. Although my body is there with her, rocking in response, my brain is tuned out and elsewhere. The excitement I had earlier at the thought of being inside her was no longer present and instead, my thoughts were on something else. I just didn't know exactly what.
Yeah, I know, I comment to myself, I had to tease myself to get it that way.
An hour later, I'm removing myself from the bed where Lucy lays sound asleep. Picking up my haphazardly strewn about clothes, I begin to dress. The only noise in the room comes from Lucy and her snoring. It was one of the things about her that was a turnoff to me, she snored like a firetruck engine existed inside of her.
Checking the time on my phone I swear. It was 3:30 a.m. I'd stayed with her way longer than I should have. Normally, my routine is to just f**k them and leave them, but Lucy insisted that we have a few more rounds and it wasn't until 2:00 a.m. that we had stopped before she begged me to cuddle her for a bit. Seriously. Cuddle. What was I? A teddy bear?
Creeping out her bedroom in her parent's house, I head home. I couldn't help the nagging feeling in the pit of my stomach that this arrangement was a bit more than s*x to Lucy. It was then that I remembered the rumor that had started at school, stating that we were together just thirty minutes after I took her in the supply closet for the previous day.
When I reach my house I unlocked my phone to reveal a text.
I reply with a simple 'yeah' before heading to my room where I collapse on my bed before falling straight to sleep.
Lucy: Same time next week?
