Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel
The white fluffy towel with yellow designs at its edges was wide enough to cover Talia from her chest to just below her private areas, like a super-short mini dress.
Talia gripped the towel with both hands until her knuckles turned white, unknowingly pushing her breasts higher and making her cleavage stand out more, and Dayson was not sure where to look first.
He really wanted to yank that towel out of the way.
Dayson smirked and spoke in a deep voice, “Talia, are you here to seduce me?”
Talia’s face exploded in blush and Dayson’s sly smile increased when he saw that even her ears were red.
Will she pass out? He would give her mouth-to-mouth anytime.
Talia clutched the towel tighter. “Clothes… I didn’t get… I need… clothes…”, she struggled to speak coherently. Alpha Dayson was too much. What seducing? Who would seduce the Devil? And how can he think about those things when he already has so many women around him?
Talia saw clearly what Marcy did while kneeling between Alpha Dayson’s legs only a few days ago, and Talia was confident that Cassie is here for a similar reason. But that was not Talia’s business. She came to the closet with the intention to get clothes, but now she felt like crying.
Dayson wanted to tease Talia a bit more, but seeing that she was nearly hyperventilating, he decided to stop.
“Do you know what you want to wear?”
Talia shook her head in response. She really didn’t think about it. Actually, other than taking a quick glance at the bags and boxes, she didn’t look at the contents.
Dayson reached for one knee-length dress, but he paused at the thought about how it will reveal Talia’s legs. Legs that are only for him to see.
He looked at Talia’s legs which were on full display because the towel reached just below her private parts.
They were long and lean, and he already imagined them around his waist and the pressure in his crotch area increased. Fuck! She is perfect.
Talia stood at the door of the closet and squirmed under his scorching gaze. She didn’t have the courage to get in the closet, but running away didn’t seem wise either, so she stood in the spot.
Dayson reached into the drawer and got panties and a matching bra, and then one light blue jeans and a white top.
“Wear these…”
Without looking, Talia grabbed clothes, mumbled ‘thank you’, and swiftly disappeared into the bathroom.
Dayson shook his head helplessly. He reached for his crotch area, adjusted himself, and then continued arranging clothes in the closet.
He was not sure what was stranger, the fact that he is so easily aroused around Talia, the part where he is not acting on it, or the reality where he is not finding any other woman attractive.
There was nothing wrong with his eyes. He could see that other women have curves and appeal, but he had no urge to be with them, almost like all of them are lower class… lower class compared to Talia.
He let out a long breath.
Dayson brought Talia here with the hope that the crazed craving for the sweet citrusy scent of freesia will subside or maybe he gets used to this madness brought to him by the addictive sparks, but so far, it was only increasing. At this rate, Talia will be the end of him.
…
Talia dressed up in the bathroom, fixed her hair, and finished breakfast in record time, grateful that Alpha Dayson didn’t come out of the closet.
When she was ready, Talia peeked into the closet as Dayson finished sorting the last few pieces of clothing.
His back was facing her, and Talia took a moment to observe in his V-shaped torso that was clearly visible because his shirt was tucked into his pants. Jeans that Alpha Dayson wore were tight in the hip area, as if designed to emphasize the toned muscles of his buttocks.
Talia silently acknowledged that Dayson’s physique is impressive.
Dayson is not too muscular, like some warriors she saw in the Red Moon pack. Dayson’s body is well proportioned with just the right amount of muscles, and she remembered the sensation when she slept next to Alpha Dayson, with her head on his shoulder and her arm over his abs.
Every part of his body was hard. Well, maybe not his raven black hair. That looked silky.
The image of the black wolf from her dream popped into her mind. He had black fur that was very soft, and his eyes were icy-blue, just like Dayson’s. That was a very vivid dream and Talia remembered it clearly, even the scent of the forest and dark chocolate, almost like it was not a dream.
“I bought you these clothes and I want you to wear them.”, Dayson said without turning to look at her and Talia hoped that he didn’t notice her gawking at him. “No more rainbows, kittens, and unicorns. You are not a child.”
“OK.”, she responded sheepishly. “You said that we are in a hurry, and I’m ready, so…”, her voice trailed.
Dayson turned to face Talia and cocked his eyebrow in approval.
Jeans were fitting her well, and the white short-sleeved shirt hugged her breasts and fell loosely, reaching almost to her hips.
“Turn around, let me see you.”, he demanded, but it was more of a plea than an order.
Talia turned slowly and when she completed the rotation, Talia gasped when she realized that Dayson crossed the distance between them.
He was only half a step away from her, and his scent made her dizzy. Too close.
“It suits you well.”, Dayson said in a low voice and reached for the bottom hem of her shirt, feeling the silky fabric.
Talia was visibly flustered. She was not used to people being that close or complimenting her, and Alpha Dayson made her nervous.
“Thank you.”, she said in a shaky voice and inched away from him. “Are we going now, or…?”
Dayson hummed ambiguously before confirming. “We are going.”
Talia turned on her heel and headed for the door.
“Talia!”
She froze when Dayson called her name.
“Yes?”, Talia asked while turning toward him in slow motion and she was confused to see him smirking at her.
“Don’t you need shoes?”
Talia wanted to disappear. She was in such a hurry to leave that she forgot she was barefoot.
And where would she leave? Alpha Dayson already said that he will take her for an appointment, so it’s not like she can escape from him.
Dayson watched Talia as she was looking at which shoes to wear and he contacted Maya and Jaeden through the mind link, ‘Where is Cassie?’
‘In the garden’, Maya responded.
‘OK. I’m coming down with Talia in a minute.’
‘Do you want me to distract Cassie?’, Maya asked.
Dayson thought for a moment. He didn’t want Cassie to be aware of Talia’s presence, but Cassie already saw Talia and the more he hides Talia, the more suspicious it will be. If Cassie thinks of Talia as any other she-wolf, Cassie will not make a fuss.
‘No need. As long as Cassie doesn’t know that Talia is staying on my floor, it’s fine.’ And even if she finds out, Dayson would come up with some explanation.
Dayson and Talia exited the main door when Cassie’s voice reached them.
“Alpha Dayson! Alpha Dayson!”
Cassie stopped in her tracks at the sight of Dayson who was holding the door of his black armored Lexus SUV for Talia to enter. He even gave Talia his hand to help her get in!
“Are you going somewhere?”, Cassie asked.
“Human town.”, Dayson responded.
Cassie was irked to see a girl sitting in the front passenger’s seat of Dayson’s car.
With Talia’s bruises fading and good clothes, Cassie didn’t recognize Talia as the girl from the kitchen that Cassie accused of stealing food.
“Can I join you?”
Dayson turned to face Cassie. “I’m taking her for an appointment.”
Cassie’s eyes darted from Talia to Dayson. “Personally? Can’t you get someone else to take her?”
“I also have some business in the human town, so it’s on the way. Is there anything else I need to report to you, Miss Cassie, or am I allowed to leave?”, Dayson asked sarcastically, and his face darkened in a second. “What gives you the right to question me?”
Cassie shrunk. “I was only curious. I apologize, Alpha Dayson.”
“Curiosity killed the cat, Miss Cassie.”, Dayson said grimly. “It’s your luck that you are not a feline. Be careful, Miss Cassie, there is a limit to my patience just how there is a limit of how much your father’s identity can protect you.”
