In the Alpha’s Arms

You’ll Probably Thank Me

A little

over an hour after the first knock, another came. Jaz had already thrown on her outfit and was in the middle of doing her hair when she pulled the door open. Cole looked relieved but jumpy, “Hey Jaz is Lita here? I just want to talk to her if that’s cool.”

“Uh she’s

‘s not here, actually,” Jaz shifted awkwardly at the door, “She’s out on a date…

“A WHAT?” Jaz jumped nearly but of her skin, clambering onto the door for support.

Cole couldn’t help the yell that tore out of him, taking a breath, he tried again. “Sorry, lax, Jesus.” He pulled her up by the arm to stabilize her once more. “I meant to say, a date with whom?”

Uh…I don’t think…I didn’t really get a good look at

“She’s on a date with Alpha Ace,” Stace crossed her arms, moving lat out of the way. “That doesn’t bother you does it?”

Coles fist tightened, why the hell did that man always have to start his shit? “No, should in?

“Honestly Alpha? Yea, it should,” she tugged him into the room and slammed the door, “What’s your deal? Are you going to reject her? Are you going to be with her? Because at this rate you’re just stringing her along and even if you don’t think it’s a big deal, the girl hasn’t had closure on ANYTHING so far, least of all you. If you don’t want to be with her, let her go! I say this as your friend, not your subordinate…” She tapped her foot expectantly, waiting for him to acknowledge what he’d heard.

“And what if I do want to be with her?” he asked awkwardly, feeling physically pained by the conversation. He didn’t talk about his feelings but with –~-ɗita he felt like he’d dug himself into a nut he couldn’t get out of. Did she hate him? Would she ever believe he’d changed his mind?

Stace jumped excitedly. “And if you do want to be with her, then I suggest you pull your head out of your ass and TELL HER, respectfully of course, Alpha. Jaz snickered.

“Because the way she looked when she left for that date, it’d take a blind man to not act on it… Stace smirked, knowing she was riling him up. But it’s what he needed. He could be a right stubborn ass and Lita wasn’t going to stick around forever while he figured it out.

“Thanks for that,” he growled, palming the back of his neck.

“If I were you, I’d be dressed and ready to sweep her off her feet at the party later because whether or not Ace is just trying to make you jealous, doesn’t matter. Lita is what matters and what if she decides there’s plenty of other fish in the sea? What if she decides it’s a waste for her to sit around waiting for the one person who doesn’t want her?“.

his reasoning and his intentions, she’d taken small liberties. Subtle moans and groans as she enjoyed her food or drink. Simple actions like letting the strap of her dress begin to slide down until he brought it to her attention. Even so simple an action as wetting her lips or licking away the remnants of the sangria, were enough to disrupt his thoughts for a moment
