Chapter 6
[Sia's POV]
The black partition of the Rolls-Royce was raised, separating us completely from the driver Beta Theo.
It was just me and Kaelen. The air conditioner was running, but the air felt hot, thick, and suffocating.
I pressed my body as close to the car door as possible. I looked out the window, watching the trees blur by, trying to ignore the massive, predatory Alpha sitting less than a foot away from me.
But it was impossible. His scent, that mix of cedar and gunpowder, filled the small space. It made my head spin. It made my mouth water.
"Did you sleep well last night, Sia?"
His voice broke the silence. It was low and smooth, like velvet wrapped around a knife.
My heart skipped a beat. I didn't dare look at him. "V-very... well, thank you."
"Liar," he chuckled softly.
Suddenly, I heard the click of my seatbelt unbuckling.
I turned around, startled. "What are you..."
"It was twisted," Kaelen said casually. "Safety first, daughter."
He leaned over me.
His broad shoulders blocked out the light. His chest was so close it almost touched my nose. I sensed his cedar scent and was trapped between the leather seat and his hard, hot body.
He pulled the seatbelt across my body slowly. agonizingly slowly.
His forearm pressed firmly against my chest. He applied just enough pressure to make me gasp. The friction of his expensive suit fabric against my thin blouse was electric.
My body betrayed me instantly. My nipples hardened, pushing against the sheer lace of my bra, visibly peaking through my shirt.
Kaelen froze. He looked down, his golden eyes darkening as he stared at my reaction. He didn't pull away. Instead, he pressed his arm a little harder, grinding slightly against my sensitive peaks.
"Ah..." I let out a soft sound.
He smirked, satisfied. He finally clicked the buckle into place, but he didn't move back. He stayed there, hovering over me, his face inches from mine.
"You are very sensitive today," he whispered. His hot breath fanned across my cheek. "Is it because you didn't sleep? I thought you might have heard... strange noises last night."
My face burned.
"The walls in the estate are thin," he murmured, his eyes locking onto my lips. "I hope I didn't keep you up."
He absolutely knew.
I couldn't speak. I just shook my head, my eyes wide with shame and arousal.
Kaelen finally sat back, but he didn't return to his side of the car. He sat right next to me. His thigh pressed firmly against mine, hip to hip. The heat from his leg seeped through my jeans, making my skin tingle.
"So," he said, his tone shifting to casual conversation, though his hand rested possessively on his knee, inches from mine. "What will you study at the University?"
"Biology," I managed to whisper. "I... I want to be a pack doctor. Like Mom."
"A doctor," Kaelen mused. "Then you must know a lot about anatomy. About how the body works."
He reached out and grabbed my hand. His palm was rough, calloused, and scorching hot.
"Tell me, future doctor," he said, pulling my hand toward him. He placed my palm flat against the left side of his chest, right over his heart.
His heart was beating fast. It was powerful, heavy, and erratic. Just like mine.
"Why is my heart racing, Sia?" he asked softly. "Is it adrenaline? Or is it something else?"
I could feel the hard muscle of his pectoral beneath his dress shirt. My fingers trembled. My wolf whined inside me, desperate to touch him more.
"I... I don't know," I breathed.
"Check lower," he commanded.
He slid my hand down. He moved it over his rock-hard abs, letting me feel the tension in his muscles. Then, he moved my hand lower. Toward his belt buckle.
"Why does the Alpha's body react like this when you are near?" he rasped. "My wolf is restless. He wants to hunt."
My hand was dangerously close to the bulge in his trousers. I could feel the heat radiating from him. I was wet. So wet.
My jeans felt uncomfortable against my skin. My scent spiked, filling the car with the smell of vanilla and arousal.
Kaelen inhaled deeply, his eyes fluttering shut for a second. He was enjoying this. He was enjoying my corruption.
"Alpha Kaelen, please..." I tried to pull my hand away.
Suddenly... SCREECH!
The car braked hard.
My body was thrown forward by the momentum.
"Got you."
Kaelen's arm shot out like a steel band. He caught me around the waist before I could hit the partition. He pulled me back effortlessly and unbuckled my seatbelt.
But because of the angle, I didn't land back on the seat.
I landed squarely on his lap.
I was straddling him, my legs open on either side of his hips, facing him.
"Apologies, Alpha!" Theo's voice came through the intercom. "A deer ran onto the road."
"Keep driving," Kaelen growled, not looking away from me.
The car accelerated again, but I didn't move. I couldn't.
I was sitting right on top of him. And he was hard.
