Beyond Fate

Trouble

I let out a shaky sigh of relief when I saw Lucas step from around the corner. He looked like a man on a mission deep in thought from the way his brow was creased which didn’t suit his usual laid back personality. His handsome face scrunched up all serious like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders, He seemed stressed and I couldn’t help but wonder if it was because of our earlier encounter. Did he regret what happened. I felt like such a girl, I shouldn’t be getting involved with him after all I was supposed to be leaving. Wasn’t I.

Lucas was almost in front of us before he stopped halting immediately upon seeing us, not noticing the tense moment me and my brother were having, which was also unusual for Lucas. He seemed to have a sixth sense for these things normally or maybe that was just me. He just nodded curtly to Johnny before smiling at me his face instantly relaxing and falling back into his usual cocky layer back demeanour, I couldn’t help not return a smile to him. It was infectious.

When he was within arms reach of me he stopped leaning into my ear “ I need to talk to you, I’ve been looking into your little issue, I need to show you what I’ve found.” he said, speaking low as he came to us not that Johnny wouldn’t hear him. When Lucas pulled back I couldn’t help but notice he had his eyes on Johnny as if he’d planned on him listening in.

“ Cool, can I come” I heard Johnny behind me trying to sound casual but you could hear the tense tone in his voice, he came to stand beside me putting his arm on my shoulder.

“ if you must Beta” lucas just shrugged but he didn’t smile at Johnny like he had me. He began walking down the hallway without a word so we just followed.

“ head warrior actually, Nathan is beta, remember” Johnny corrected lucas from beside me, the tense atmosphere could be cut with a knife as we walked the long hallway following Lucas. Johnny obviously didn’t trust him. I remembered our conversation earlier. He didn't seem to like that lucas had a keen friendship with me.

“ Well when the mutt starts acting like a Beta I’ll call him one '' Lucas chuckled to himself as he reached I’m assuming is his bedroom door unlocking it. All the rooms had keys but guests rarely locked them. Guess Johnny wasn’t the only one with trust issues.

As we stepped into Lucas' room i was hit by the vast size of the place he was staying in one of the largest suites we had in the pack house, infact I’m pretty sure only certain members were allowed to clean in here remembering the morning I’d seen heather scurrying around to make up extra rooms that’s why these rooms weren't made up unless requested. Apart from the size of the room there was a small bar in the corner, a large flat screen tv which no one else was allowed in the house the furniture looked to be all brand new a family sized table and chairs sat just to the right of the floor to ceiling windows that lead to a terrace over looking the pack grounds in the middle of the room sat an enormous four poster bed the frame was dark oak with intricate rose carvings the bed sheets were in keeping with the pack houses decour the bed spread was a cream colour with gold detailing which complimented the dark chocolate coloured walls the place looked untouched aside from the small black leather duffel bag to the one side of the bed, lucas was very neat or he planned on leaving soon. My stomach dropped at the thought that he might be leaving soon too.

My eyes were drawn to the bed where Lucas now stood. I saw an array of books and papers, I suddenly clicked at what Lucas had been talking about in the hallway. He’d said he wanted to help me be free of Nathan’s bond ‘ this will not be your life’ he’d said, he was trying to find a way of breaking it without Nathan accepting my past rejection. My eyes went to him in total panic because Johnny didn’t know anything about mine and Nathan’s mate bond. Lucas now had his head in one of the books he was avoiding meeting my gaze on purpose.fucker. Johnny froze behind me and felt my stomach drop.

“ oh s**t!!” He muttered and both Lucas and I turned to him I began running through all the things to say to calm the situation down and avoid Johnny getting in trouble for killing Nathan but to my surprise his eyes were glazed over, he was mindlinking someone. For a moment I thought it might be dad before I realised that was stupid, Johnny couldn’t have put the truth together just from a few vague comments and books on Lucas bed.

“ Tammy?” I asked, hopeful for the first time that evil woman might prove useful. She might be the distraction I needed to get Johnny out of here.

“ crisis” Johnny said, rolling his eyes deflated. His shoulders sagging, he rubbed his head in frustration.

“ the pups ok ?” I asked worried when he said crisis. He nodded and I relaxed. So not what the rest of the world deemed a crisis.

“ Yeah, everything is a crisis with her lately” he shakes his head with irritation, waving at me before disappearing down the hallway without another word. Once I’d shut the door I immediately stormed over to Lucas who was looking at the books on the bed. I punched him hard on the arm hurting my fist, s**t he was made of solid muscle. I shook my hand trying to hide my pain scrunching up my face even more pissed off now. Lucas just looked down at his arm as if he’d been hit by a child looking back up at me. It just made me more angry.

“ what the f**k was that, you were gonna tell my brother about Nathan?” I glared at him but Lucas didn’t seem to be bothered he just shrugged at me, uncaring that I’d worked out his little plan.

“ sweetheart as far as I’m concerned the more that know, the more to keep that fucker away from you” he stated as if it had been his plan to tell Johnny anyway. It wasn’t his place to decide who knew my business.

“ my brother Lucas, you don’t know him, he'd kill Nathan for what he’s done to me” I said tears forming in my eyes at the thought of Johnny finding out the truth, it made me feel sick. He’d never look at me the same way again, I wouldn't risk losing anyone else.

“ I’m failing to see the down side sweetheart” Lucas said looking down at the book again, was he seriously that blind to what the truth would do to my family.

“ Johnny would be the one in trouble, Lucas. I don't want my family hurt in this, they have already suffered enough” I ran my hand through my hair storming back and fourth at the thought of what Johnny would do he was impulsive as a warrior his instinct would be to protect and Johnny's version of that with me is to beat the s**t out of anyone that messes with me, he’d attacked his own alpha because of what had happened at the barn what would he do knowing one of his best friends was my mate and had been abusing it to manipulate me for years I couldn’t let johnny pay for something that was out of both our hands and my brother was already stuck dealing with Tammy for a mate, his life was enough of a s**t show.

“ Sounds like all men go crazy when you're concerned sweetheart” Lucas finally looked up at me, dropping the book he’d been holding, moving around the bed towards me. I felt the sudden atmosphere in the room change and was reminded of what happened in the hospital earlier. I backed away not sure I could handle it again, Nathan had the mate bond to use against me but Lucas he was something different entirely and I wasn’t sure I was ready for him, no matter how curious I was.

Looking at him now I wondered what the hell I was holding back for. He leaned against the Dark oak of the four poster bed as if casual but I could see the intensity in his eyes that he didn’t take off me for a second. His dark grey T-shirt had ridden up slightly from the way he leaned against the post, revealing the toned outline of his lower abs and delicious V that disappeared into the waistband of his black jeans.

“ see something you like sweetheart?” I dragged my eyes back to Lucas’s face at the mention of the same words he’d used the first time he’d caught me gawping at his body the day we’d met. I flushed embarrassed at being caught eyeing him so boadly. But Lucas’s gaze held so much heat that I couldn’t help my breathing hitch and the pull in my lower belly that came with it. There was no denying what he wanted and a huge part of me just didn’t want to stop what would happen if I said yes.

Instead the sainer part of me began backing up from the bed away from him hoping to defuse the s****l tension but I saw Lucas eyes dart to my legs as they moved backwards, he didn’t miss a thing.

“ Lucas I already told you, you don’t want to get mixed up with the likes of me, I’m trouble” I raised my hands in defence, that was and under stament I was a f*****g hurricane distroying everything in my path.

“ I like trouble” he smirked. He glanced down at my body lingering shamelessly coming back up to my face licking his lips, he was looking at me like I was prey as he stalked closer. As if on cue I began taking slow steps backwards for every one he took forwards.

I couldn’t hide the shaking in my voice as I spoke trying to move further away feeling myself becoming more flustered under his gaze “ yea but I’m trouble, trouble, not a sexy bad girl kind of trouble, more like emotionally f****d up and a ton of baggage kind of trouble” I was practically panting now.

He was making me hot and bothered and I couldn’t think straight. I knew I was probably looking less attractive by the second but Lucas still stalked me around his room like a hunter closing in on his quivering prey. Not an exaggeration, there was actual quivering but not in a bad way either, more like if I let him catch me it was all over and we’d both be lost.

My hip hit something hard drawing a sharp pain to my flesh. I looked down to see I’d hit the corner of the chest of draws. Lucas took my distraction as his opportunity to pounce, pulling me to his tight chest, my hands coming into contact with the rippling muscle beneath his shirt trapping me there. I hear myself audibly gulp and see Lucas smirk knowing he heard me. He knows what he’s doing to me and how powerless I am. Looking into his blue eyes watching as hunger fills them, I feel a tingling sensation begin in my lower belly seconds before I can smell my arousal, from the way Lucas inhales deeply he smells it too, his eyes darken further, he growls lowly in his throat and I gasp, the tingle is now a throbbing inferno of desire and in that moment I know I’m already lost.

“ Consider me warned sweetheart” he said ever so seductively seconds before his lips smashed into mine.

I stop struggling not that I was much any way and lean into his chest letting him lead, his kiss is fierce and filled with hunger like he wants to devour me, sliding my hands along his abs up his body feeling every curve of muscles there, his tongue slides past my lips without permission and our tongues wrestle for dominance, of course I submitted quickly wrapping my arms around his neck threading my fingers through his hair it was too short at the sides but I was so swept up in what he was doing with his mouth I didn’t care.

We only broke apart to catch our breath but Lucas trailed kisses down my jaw not even skipping a beat. I moved my neck to the side giving him access. He nibbled and sucked his teeth grazing my throat making me shiver in all the best kind of ways his grip had loosened and his hand had traveled down my arm to the edge of my waist his fingers danced along the waistband of my jeans teasing me running his finger along the edge grazing my lace panties making me pant with anticipation of what he’d do next.

To my surprise his hand went under my top instead feeling along my stomach slowly travelling higher cupping my breast running his thumb along the delicate material of my bra, no doubt he could feel my hardening n*****s under his hand, in the next moment my tops gone, so is Lucas’s, it happened so fast I didn’t even have time to react and his mouth is on mine again. I was impressed with how swiftly he’d done it.

He picks me up and goes to the bed I hear the sound of thuds on the floor I’m assuming was the books on his bed but I don’t stop kissing him to look he sits on the edge of the bed with me straddling him I feel him grinding against me and I can’t help doing the same loving the feeling of him hardening beneath me and the friction our jeans were creating against my s*x.

Lucas kissed down my chest running his tongue along my bare skin finding my n****e through the thin fabric and sucking hard. I moaned, clutching the back of his head to my chest, his other hand reached round sliding up my spine, undid the clasp on my bra and for a moment his mouth disappeared and I felt the cold air against my n****e before his mouth was on me again. when Lucas sucked on my n****e making my back arch I cried out in ecstasy, how does it feel this good, he hasn’t even touched me down there.

“ Lucas” I cried out breathless, I wasn’t even sure what I wanted…more definitely more.

Reading my thoughts his hand disappeared into the waistband of my jeans without hesitation finding my soaking wet lace panties, his fingers began to rub over the thin lace rubbing circles on my sensitive nerves, I grind against them needing more I heard Lucas chuckle against my bare skin and I pulled back glaring at him, all he did was smile up at me, “your an impatient woman when you know what you what”, I didn’t care that I looked hot, bothered and needy right now he’d started something he needed to finish and I was too far gone to not get the oblivion I was seeking.

Lucas just smirked up at me knowing full well what he’d done. “ don’t worry sweetheart, I’ll be taking care of that from now on” without breaking eye contact he moves my panties to one side sliding one finger inside my wet opening. I cry out at the intrusion biting back the slight sting but I move around a little and soon relax as his thumb rubs circles around my sensitive nub. Lucas watches me in satisfaction the entire time.

“ do you have any idea how f*****g beautiful you are right now Alisha”. His head went to the crook of my neck inhaling my scent, I arched my back thrusting my chest against his, our bodies now becoming clammy, I ground against his finger shamelessly climbing higher to my release.

It’s not like with Nathan he never spent time pleasing me he was very much a wham bam f**k off, kind of guy. He never took his time with me, he never once cared about making me feel good. I wasn’t sure what Lucas was doing. It was all new to me but I didn’t want him to stop.

My wolf was growling in my head giving me a headache, if she was pissed at me for Lucas before it was nothing to now. She was roaring at me to stop but I blocked her out. I didn't want to stop. For once I wanted something I chose with somone I chose to be with instead of having no choice’s and hating myself because of a stupid mate bond.

Lucas continued his sweet torture on my body all that could be heard were my moans and cry’s but I’d lost the ability to care. I knew I’d be lost if I let him touch me and now it was too late, I’d let Lucas have whatever he wanted and I wouldn’t regret a damn thing.

I bit down on my lip to try and stop myself from screaming any louder. I was sure now that anyone could hear us should they walk past the door. I felt the fire inside me climbing higher and higher. Lucas suddenly curls his finger inside me hitting a sensitive spot and it’s all I need to send me over the edge. I screamed out his name as the inferno rips through my entire body. Lucas captures my mouth, swallowing my screams. My legs tremble and I bite down on his bottom lip as I ride out my orgasim.

Lucas pulls back from my lips and I collapse against him, my forehead against his. He looks up at me with his gorgeous dark eyes lost In lust studying me as I tremble in his arms trying to bring myself back down. My breathing was ragged and I couldn’t seem to get any part of my body to fall back into the right rhythm.

Lucas frowned slightly, it confused me for a moment and the self doubt began to creep in, had I done something wrong? Did he not want me anymore? Maybe I was too loud. Insecurity filled me, it was like a cold bucket of water being doused all over me making me feel completely exposed all of a sudden. I took my hands from around his neck noticing he had scratch marks there now. Had I done that? Maybe that’s why he changed his mind, I’d hurt him. I tried to cover the exposed part of my body and Lucas hand shot out stopping me.

“ Don’t ever hide that beautiful body” he growled, making me shiver at the seriousness of his tone.

“ you looked like a woman who discovered s*x for the first time” the realisation of what he was saying hit me and I felt more exposed that I had before but his hold on my hands were firm and he wouldn’t release them so I could cover myself. Obviously having a mate he’d known I wasn’t a virgin, my wolf could never stay away from Nathan for that long.

Werewolves were very physical beings and s*x was an everyday nessesity for us we wern’t as reserved as some humans when it came to being physical but when we had our fated mates our wolves needed the physical closeness or they would go crazy. Nathan had certainly used me for that over the years but we had s*x that was it. things like foreplay and intimacy were only things I’d read about in books or seen in movies. I didn't even know how to pleasure a man. With Nathan it was always as if he wanted it to be over because he was so ashamed of his need for me.

“ I..I’ve…I…. never… I mean…I have but…. Not” I’d lost the ability to form words I was too embarrassed to tell him that beyond the basic actions of s*x I didn’t know what the hell I was doing and Lucas was clearly well versed in how to pleasure a female his actions moments ago were proof of that alone.

“ Oh sweetheart we are gonna have so much fun teaching you everything I know” Lucas smiled mischievously, raising his eyebrows at me, it made me giggle and my earlier fears started ebbing away again. His hand threaded through my pony tail and he pulled me back down to his lips. Relaxing again I gave myself over to the kiss running my hands up his torso wanting to explore his body like he had mine.

Knock! knock!

We broke apart breathless at the sound of someone at Lucas’s door, the black in Lucas eyes going back to the usual brown. s**t Johnny had come back and in the heat of the moment neither of us had thought to lock the door. I scrambled off Lucas’s lap trying to cover myself, my bra was nowhere to be seen. s**t. I was in a blind panic frantically searching for something to cover my top half. Lucas to my shock was still on the bed now laying back as if my brother wasn’t behind the door ready to kill him if he saw us like this.

“ what are you doing?” I asked, unable to hide the panic in my voice. He was just laying back watching me have my fit.

“ huh….sorry sweetheart but when a half naked goddess is walking around my room I have to take pause and admire the beauty” he smiled then he did something outrageous and began sucking on his fingers, fingers that were inside me a moment ago. I gasped at him in horror picking up his shirt and throwing it at him but he caught it and just chuckled at me.

“ You taste so sweet it’s giving me ideas” he said huskily and heat flooded my lower rejon again at what he could be thinking when the knocking came again louder this time.

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

I picked up my top and gasped In horror to see Lucas had shredded it. What did I do now? With no other choice I snatched the shirt I’d just thrown at Lucas from where he’d just tossed it onto the bed and pulled it over my head quickly.

“ what are you doing? get dressed” I whisper shouted at him, Lucas rolled his eyes getting up. His jeans were bulging and it looked painful but I couldn’t pretend to care or even ogle when my brother was on the other side of the door.

“ sweetheart it smells of nothing but your sweet arousal in here so unless your brother is an i***t which from what I’ve seen I highly doubt, he’s gonna know what we are doing in here” Lucas stated factly, there was no hiding what we’d been doing and he was right Johnny wasn’t stupid.

I didn’t have time to contemplate how to cover the smell because seconds later his bedroom door opened gently, revealing not my brother but Alpha Mitchell.

I automatically ran my hand through my ponytail adjusting it as the alpha looked between me and Lucas who just smirked leaning against his bed post enjoying my awkwardness. I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks already. The alpha frowned looking displeased. His head looked towards the chair that was next to the door. My eyes went wide seeing my bra hanging off it. I flushed red with embarrassment. Lucas just chuckled and it made me want to slap him, probably wasn’t the most awkward situation he’s been caught in before to be fair, he hadn’t even adjusted himself to try and hide his giant erection trying to break out of his jeans.

Alpha Mitchell’s nostrils flared and I knew he could smell my arousal throughout the room, not that he needed that, the fact that Lucas was half naked and I was wearing his shirt with my bra tossed halfway across the room was evidence enough. I looked at the floor ashamed feeling like a huge hipocryte after what I’d said to him about his s*x life, I was feeling very much like a pot calling the kettle black at the moment.

“ What's up man?” Lucas asked casually when alpha Mitchell didn’t say anything. The alpha seemed to be in a bit of a daze when something crossed his face but it was gone before I could decipher it.

“ I.. um… can I have a word” he looked towards me and I felt uneasy. Had he spoken to Nathan, would everyone know my tragic life now. Alpha Mitchell had come in looking displeased maybe he was going to deny my transfer.

I looked at Lucas who just shrugged going to sit back down on his bed, of course the one time the guy is oblivious to a situation and it’s now. With no other choice I moved towards the door as alpha Mitchell stepped out into the hallway. When I left the door open he looked down, sighing and moved around me, closing it instead. Great, I was hoping if he moved to attack, Lucas would hear and hopefully save me. Guess I was alone.

I suddenly felt very foolish for my earlier outburst, he could have had warriors with him to drag me to the cells and he would be well within his rights after all I was just some omega that had minded his child for a time. I was nothing to him. I stood there unmoving staring intently at our feet resisting the urge to look up. I sent a silent prayer to the moon goddess that this was not the last day of my freedom.
