Alexander’s lips tasted like bourbon and woodfire smoke. His mouth slanted across mine, parting to give access to the slick, warm tip of his tongue. I responded instinctively, as if a dam had burst and every atom of my being went ushing into him.

As our tongues swirled around one another, batting for dominance, I felt his hardness press against my stomach through his pants. A thrill shot through me at the contact. Was this finally happening? Was I finally experiencing what it felt like to be wanted by a man? To be wanted by my mate?

If this wasn’t desire, then I wasn’t sure what was His member was hard and throbbing against me already, and without thinking, I reached down between us, my fingers brushing against the outline of his cock through the fabric.

Alexander broke the kiss with a groan, lips grazing my jawline. The sound made me shiver, like cold water washing over me on a hot day. My body instantly responded to his.

This was what I imagined for five years, during all of those lonely nights in my bed. Perhaps I didn’t expect my first time to be in an alleyway behind a bar, but I wasn’t complaining.

It was… exciting. Thrilling. This was what it felt like to be alive.

Wordlessly, Alexander slipped his hand between us and up my skirt. His fingers found my center immediately.

I gasped into his mouth, my hips bucking forward instinctively as he began to move his fingers in slow circles. Even through the thin fabric, the pressure was exquisite. I’d touched myself before, of course, but it had never felt like this-never felt this intense, this overwhelming.

I was close already, embarrassingly so. Just a few more seconds and I’d-

“Alpha?”

I froze at the sound of Gabriel’s voice, and Alexander jerked away from me, spinning around to face the entrance to the alley. I quickly yanked ny shirt down and smoothed my skirt, my

face burning with humiliation as Gabriel rounded the corner to the alley.

But Gabriel wasn’t alone. Behind him, my father and stepmother came into view.

What were they doing here?

The trio stopped short at the end of the alley. They hadn’t seen the interaction, but they didn’t have to to know what was happening. My lipstick was smeared across the corner of

Alexander’s mouth, his shirt rumpled, my skirt sitting too high on my hips.

For a moment, no one spoke. Then, Gabriel’s eyes flicked to me and raked over my disheveled appearance. The hatred in his gaze was so hot and prominent that it sent a shiver crawling up my spine.

“Alpha Alexander,” my father suddenly said, not even addressing me. “Are we interrupting?”

I wished the ground would open up and swallow the whole. Being caught by Gabriel was bad enough, but my parents? Fucking hell.

“What are you doing here?” I blurted out.

My stepmother stepped forward, smiling impishly. She knew I was wearing the lingerie she sent, didn’t she?

“We were having dinner downtown and saw Gabriel outside the bar. Thought we’d stop by to say hello,” she said. Her eyes raked over both of us and her smile widened. “And I must say, we couldn’t have picked a better time. It’s so wonderful to see you two… getting along so well.”

The emphasis she placed on “getting along” made me want to disappear into the brick wall behind me.

“If your relationship is doing so well,” my father said, suddenly all business, “then maybe it’s time for an heir.”

I stiffened. “Excuse me?”

“An heir,” my stepmother repeated, as if I hadn’t heard him. “A child after all these years would be so lovely. And of course, I’ve always wanted to be a grandmother.”

My father nodded enthusiastically. “Absolutely. In fact, Alpha Alexander, it might be wise to set up a trust fund for the child. We could manage it, of course. Ensure the money is properly invested for the future.”

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. We’d just been caught in an intimate moment, and they were already trying to find a way to get more money out of Alexander?

“Gabriel,” I commanded, turning toward the Beta, “escort my parents out of here. Now.”

I expected immediate compliance. After all, I was using my Luna Voice, the same one that had forced him into silence at the banquet.
