15. The Kiss

The Alpha could see the discomfort on Alyssa's face at the question, the way her hands folded in lap together. Adrian hated seeing that look on her face. It was so evident as her bright eyes suddenly turned dim, shoulders tight and blush crawled on her cheeks. Her eyes kept shifting towards the door as if she was considering to run away.




Adrian cleared his throat loudly. "We should dance! Let's try Paris new speakers."




The Alpha stood up and rushed towards the speakers so that he can connect his phone. He could feel eyes burning on his back; evidently, Alyssa might be staring at him. As soon as the soft thrum of bass started echoing around the room, he turned around.




He felt her stare right away.




“Thank you” She mouthed at him.




For some reason, the Alpha felt his chest tighten a little. It’s not a grand gesture or anything but still made that smile on her face permanent. He noticed everyone inching towards the huge space behind the couch, right under the light to dance.




Suddenly his throat felt dry. Adrian was interested in asking her to dance with him. He had no idea how to do that. His eyes shifted over Nicholas, who was ready to race towards the omega sitting by the couch. What if his best friend asks her first? He can’t let that happen.




Mustering enough courage the Alpha stalked towards her, a determined look on his face. As soon as he stood in front of her, his shoulders sagged, a nervous smile taking over his lips.





“Alyssa...care to dance?”



She stuttered. “A-Are you asking me?”



The Alpha chuckled, pulling her towards the empty area while Nicholas made a face at him. He can’t believe that he did that. Usually, Nicholas was quick enough to snatch the omegas, all thanks to his bloody good locks. It didn’t help that the Alpha had emerald eyes. Worked like a charm with omegas.





Alyssa stood in front of her, licking her lips as she looked around.




Paris was giggling as Riya twirled her around. Miriam led Steve on the other hand. It was a sight to watch. Adrian smiled at that.




“I have two left feet” She shyly mumbled, breaking the train of his thoughts.





The Alpha laughed because he wasn’t a great dancer too. The only reason he asked her to dance was to be close to her. Ever since Adrian saw her, he was captivated by her. The way she held herself, oh so graceful and didn’t deter from a challenge made him only like her more. Even though life has been unfair to her, she never complained, accepted most of the things her way with a smile.




“Same!”



She relaxed at that, a laugh bubbling out of her. “Then why did you ask me to dance?!”



Adrian shrugged. “I like this song.”



“That's fair.”



With that, they awkwardly started moving together, hands and limbs entwined and stepping on each other’s feet several times. Just as he was about to make her twirl, a loud, jarring bell broke his move. He stared at the door as Paris walked to open it.




Adrian frowned when he noticed five others enter inside the house. He thought Paris only invited a few of them. From the corner of his eyes, he noticed Rachel and his entire demeanour shifted. The Alpha looked over his shoulder at Nicholas.





Paris yelped. “Oh my god! You showed up!”




Rachel nodded. “Yeah, we had nothing better to do so why not.”



“Gee thanks. Come on in” With that Paris opened the door and invited others.




Adrain noticed Alyssa shift on her feet, nervousness radiating off her. She must be feeling extra angsty with new guests.




“Uhh...let’s go outside for a while. Get some fresh air.”




The omega breathed a sigh of relief and beamed towards him. “Yes, please.”




Both of them walked out, trailing towards the garden. For once, Adrian was thankful that Paris built a bench around the fence. They sat down.




The cold air nipped at their skin, the wind blowing past them as they stared at the sky together. The warm glow illuminated on her face as the omega went on about the fair they had back in her packhouse.



“So you never went to the fair? Ever?”



The Alpha asked. He could see the sadness in her eyes. She had to take upon responsibilities after her father passed away, which also meant giving up on most of the things.



“Mmh,” She mumbled, her breathing shallowly.



With a wince, he realised she’s biting her lower lip hard enough to make her flesh bleed. A groan ripped up his throat as the Alpha in him clawed at his walls, screaming with a desire to take her. Make her his by claiming her sweet, sweet mouth. His body has definitely taken its power over the situation, cock twitching in his pants. He never felt that powerful passion coursing through him before.





He couldn’t control the question slipping past his lips. “I want to kiss you. Will you let me?”




Her eyes widened, nose flaring a little by his sudden request. The omega hesitated, Adrian couldn’t blame her for it. This has never been them. She clearly saw him as a friend. Why did he have to make it something else? The Alpha thought to himself with an awkward press of his lips.




He turned to look at her, his noise hoarse. “Uhh...Ignore me. I’m sorry, I–“



He didn’t get to finish his rant before he felt her hand land on his biceps, then a whisper, “Yes, kiss me.” 



Those three words were all he needed to hear. The Alpha let out a soft growl, unable to hold back. He leaned into her and put his mouth right on the omegas, brushing his lips hesitantly. Her scent made his eyes roll. He could feel her breath hitch as she tightened her hold on his biceps.




Clinging to control, he strokes her mouth with more pressure then tried to ease back. The meek omega followed, keeping them together, and before Adrian can stop himself, he ran his tongue across the velvet flesh of her bottom lip.




Her lips were so warm and soft under his tongue as he parted them enough to taste her, not the metallic tinge of her blood. On fire, the Alpha dominated her mouth, caught the remnants of his favourite beer she’d sipped on, the delicious heat as the omega tried to kiss him back. Fuck, her efforts were so sloppy, wet, driving him insane. How inexperienced her little tongue was. Also soft and desperate, as she tried to meet his forceful thrusts. With a ragged breath, Adrian's canines clamped down on her swollen bottom lip. Under the sharp points, the omega whined needily, trembling and panting as the Alpha softened her lip with a lick of his tongue.



With a soft sigh, she parted her mouth, and he had no choice but to take a taste, couldn’t possibly turn away from that.



His tongue touched her soft wet mouth, tasting the delicious contours as the omega let out a breathless mewl that straight needled through him. She met his tongue with a soft flick that sets a fire off in his groin. As he tried to get even closer, he felt her hand in his chest, hot and soft. Before he could hold her, she pushed him away with force harsher than necessary.




An alarm rang in his head.




The omega abruptly stood up.



“I think I should go...”




The Alpha felt his stomach turn at that. What? Why? That’s not what he wanted. At all. He thought that’s what she wanted when she said yes to him. Did he misread the signals?



“Oh no, Alyssa I'm sorry I shouldn't have pushed. Please stay, we'll talk about something else” Adrian thought to himself, his mouth feeling numb. He couldn’t bring himself to say anything.





Instead of meeting his eyes, the omega shook her head and pushed him away. She hurried back into the living room, Adrian hot on his trail, and waved to the people who were still on the couch. Most of them were in the kitchen. The Alpha could not find Nicholas anywhere. Maybe he would have managed to convince the omega to stay back.




“I'm going to head back home guys, thanks for having me.” She announced, and Paris lifted her head and frowned.



She inched towards the omega, tugging at her wrist. “What’s going on? Why are you leaving?”




Adrian felt his cheeks hot. He’s the reason. All because he couldn’t wait but kiss her senseless.




“I am just tired is all, and yeah. I'll see you on Monday” Her voice cracked at the end.



Paris looked like she wanted to say something but instead let out a sigh. She excused herself to walk Alyssa to the door, a knowing look on her face.



“I'm sorry Alyssa” Adrian whispered to himself, watching her leave.
