“I promised myself I wouldn’t go a single moment today without touching you. This puts a damper on my plan.”
“Well, maybe I’ll be terrible at resisting you.”
“You saying I’m irresistible?”
“Yes,” I breathed.
Theo groaned, running his eyes slowly up and down my body, making me feel like I was slowly catching on fire. I perfumed and he smirked, adjusting his pants where I could see a hard bulge.
“We better do this quickly before I change my mind,” he said in a low growl.
I giggled, escaping his embrace and walking over to the other side of the room. I might have tried to add a little extra swing in my hips.
When I turned, I saw Theo adjusting himself again before running his hand through his hair with the sweetest blush on his cheeks.
“Okay,” he said. “Let’s do this.” He went to issue the order and froze. His fists clenched and unclenched as he shifted side to side, and I caught a bitterness in his scent.
“Theo, it’s okay. Remember, you’re not forcing me,” I said softly. Maybe this was a bad idea. I shouldn’t have pushed him.
“I know, I’m okay,” he said quickly. “I can do this. You ready, love?”
I nodded, still uncomfortable with his distress.
“Come here,” Theo barked, his voice low and calm but infused with an undeniable command.
Before I knew it, I was in front of him, throwing myself into his arms. He reached out to catch me, pulling me flush to his body. I jolted with a stunned awareness of where I was, of what I had done. My lip jutted out in a disappointed pout.
“What the hell! I did way better in class.” My body heated with embarrassment. Theo was going to think I was such an idiot.
To my surprise, he chuckled at my outrage and pulled me closer.
“Don’t laugh at me,” I whined. Despite my anger at myself, I melted into him. “That was terrible. I didn’t even realize I had done it until I was already across the room.”
Theo pressed his face into my hair as I burrowed into this neck, my omega loving her alpha’s soothing comfort.
“Josie, love, did you want to come over here?”
“What do you mean?”
“Before I barked at you, did you want to come over here?”
“Yeah, I wanted to make sure you were okay.”
He squeezed me a little tighter. “Thank you, angel. You take such good care of me.” He brushed little kisses all over my face, kissing away my pouty lip. “You didn’t want to resist my bark, so you didn’t. Also, the more connected you are with an alpha, the harder it is to resist their bark. I’m sure you did much better with Luc.”
“So what do we do?” I asked.
“I need to tell you to do something you don’t want to do. That way, you’ll have the motivation to resist.”
“That makes sense,” I said, reaching up to push Theo’s hair out of his face.
“I could tell you to do something truly terrible, like walk away from me,” he said teasingly.
“This is building your ego way too much,” I grumbled.
“The way you looked at my cock last night already destroyed any chance of you keeping my ego in check,” Theo said, a heated look in his eyes as he squeezed my ass cheeks with both hands.
I was seconds away from suggesting we ditch this whole practice in exchange for a pre-breakfast quickie, but I wanted to prove myself.
