Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel
Maddox and Tatiana were two steps from the door that will grant them access to the packhouse, when…
“Max! MAX!”
Maddox’s face fell when he realized that Dayson was calling.
He turned in one swift move and hissed at the unwanted third party, “What?”
Dayson sashayed toward them with a big smile on his face, obviously enjoying this.
“Did you finish your meal? We are about to head to the training grounds.”
Maddox frowned. “What does that have to do with me?”
Dayson blinked innocently. “Don’t tell me you forgot. We will be training, and you volunteered to show Tony and his people some moves. That’s why you are here, freeloading on my food.”
Maddox silently cursed Dayson and if a look could kill, Dayson would be sliced into a million pieces.
Maddox couldn’t understand what Dayson was doing. It was obvious that Maddox was going with his mate inside to get frisky.
Maddox picked up many girls with Dayson as a witness, but Dayson never interfered. Why did Dayson turn into a third wheel now when it was important?
He wanted to tell Dayson to scram, but Dayson was the host, and bickering in private was one thing while being disrespectful in public was another. Not to mention that Dayson’s temper can flare at the slightest provocation and Maddox is not the one to let it pass, but if they end up in a fistfight, Maddox can forget about having sex with Tatiana… unless she visits him in the hospital and… no, no, that’s not an option. He wanted her in his room, two minutes ago!
This required finesse.
“I will join you later.”, Maddox responded with a stiff smile.
Dayson tilted his head and eyed Maddox with amusement. “Don’t take too long. This is our first day and we will be checking the equipment and solidifying the plan. You don’t want to miss it.”
Maddox’s nostrils flared in anger, and he squeezed through his teeth, “I said I will join you. Later.”
Dayson raised his arms defensively. “Now, now. There is no need for violence. I am just reminding you of the work that we all gathered here to achieve.” He glanced at Tatiana. “I understand you just found your mate, but…” Dayson lowered his voice and looked at Maddox with concern. “You don’t want people saying how finding a mate made you forget your duties or worse…” Dayson inched closer before continuing, “…turned you into a wuss.”
Hearing the word, ‘wuss’, made Maddox suddenly realize why Dayson was obstructing his path to Heaven.
Dayson was getting back at him!
Maddox realized that Dayson was sitting there and watching them, waiting for the right opportunity to strike, and he caught Maddox off-guard. Well, it’s not that Maddox had any guards up while feeding Tatiana, but he was on his way to the bedroom, only a few steps away from tasting his strawberry-flavored bliss, and Dayson got in the way!
Was it because Maddox wanted Talia to come to the Blue River pack during the Summer Solstice festival? At that time, Maddox knew that Dayson was interested in Talia, but he didn’t know they were mates! Or was it because Maddox teased him last night? How can Dayson be so petty?
Maddox would give Dayson a piece of his mind if Tatiana was not right there, watching. He needed to leave a good impression. It was important!
Unfortunately for Maddox, he was too aroused and upset to think straight and come up with a solution to ditch Dayson without ruining his image in Tatiana’s eyes, and Dayson’s smug smirk told Maddox that Dayson won’t give up easily.
How can he get out of this pickle?
Cold sweat appeared on Maddox’s forehead as he and Dayson were engaged in a silent staring contest, no one willing to back down. Actually, Maddox would back down in a heartbeat, but that wouldn’t be cool, and he knew that Dayson got on his case and the bastard was enjoying it!
Maddox felt like crying. How can he get this nasty Alpha off his back?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration hit Maddox and he glanced behind Dayson. “Lia is calling for you.”
Dayson swiftly turned to see where Talia was, and he frowned when he realized she was not there. Of course! She went to talk to Stephanie in the kitchen!
“You…”, Dayson’s curse was cut short because Maddox was not there either!
Dayson gritted his teeth. Maddox used the moment of Dayson’s attention slipping and he disappeared with Tatiana in tow.
Dayson let out a low growl. He will get Maddox for this. Later.
‘BAM!’
The door of Maddox’s room closed fiercely as Tatiana and Maddox were connected in an unbreakable storm of frenzied kisses while their hands tugged on their clothes with urgency.
They were starving for each other, and even though they just met, both of them knew it will be fantastic.
Their minds were muddled with animalistic arousal they couldn’t extricate themselves from, reducing everything to their feverish urge to copulate.
That’s how the mate bond usually works.
Mates are created to give what the other one needs, and right at that moment, both Tatiana and Maddox needed to fulfill their desire to become one.
Before Maddox’s jacket fell on the floor, Tatiana’s hands slipped inside his polo t-shirt, and she relished the firm landscape of his muscles under her palms. Everywhere she touched was firm, and it was majestic. Just the thought of those muscles rippling as he thrusts inside her was making her legs shaky.
Maddox let out a low growl when sparks of their bond started dancing on the skin of his back as Tatiana touched him impatiently, amplifying her addictive flavor of strawberries and making him crave for more.
Maddox never thought about Heaven, but he knew that if there is such a thing, he will reach it right here, with Tatiana in his embrace.
He couldn’t wait to jab himself inside her and feel those same tantalizing sparks on his cock. The scent of her arousal made him feel like he was drowning in lust and he had no desire to stop because the only way out of this was closer, faster, more… more of Tatiana, and he was eager to take it.
Maddox groaned in frustration when the zipper at the back of Tatiana’s dress refused to cooperate.
He gripped the edge of the minidress with an intention to rip it into smithereens, but before he could do so, Tatiana broke the kissing frenzy to say, “Don’t you dare ruin my dress.”
“I need help with the zipper”, Maddox admitted grumpily.
His chest rose and fell rapidly, reflecting the chaotic state of his body.
Tatiana’s eyes flashed with amusement, and she giggled while turning her back to Maddox and pulling her hair out of the way.
Maddox stared at Tatiana’s exposed neck and licked his lips. That was the marking spot, and he wanted to bite her right there.
He bedded many women and saw even more necks, but he never felt such a strong pull to mark a woman and claim her as his.
It was ridiculous. They just met! But he knew that this was the mate bond working, and there was nothing he could do to stop this madness.
Maddox leaned closer and kissed the spot and Tatiana released a soft moan that made his cock lurch painfully, reminding him why they came here.
Sex first. Marking later.
His attention went back to the tricky zipper at the back of Tatiana’s dress. He was one zipper away from reaching Heaven!
The blasted thing was slippery! His palms were sweaty!
Maddox rubbed his hands nervously and just as he touched the zipper and confirmed he has a good hold on it, he heard Tatiana say icily, “And you are…?”
Maddox felt dread gripping his heart as he slowly raised his gaze to see to whom Tatiana’s words were directed and his stomach dropped at the sight of two women wrapped in towels, standing at the door of the bathroom and looking at them.
His brain stuttered and refused to process the scene in front of him.
Why were they still there? Didn’t he tell them to scram!?
This… will be a problem.
A big one!
It took Tatiana less than a second to see women’s garments scattered on the floor of the bedroom, and the messed up bed. She was not stupid.
…
A minute ago, in the bathroom…
