Chapter 29
I felt fingers brush my hair away from my face and caress my cheeks lightly. The rough fingers continued down my face, chasing an invincible pattern and the action caused my eyes to flutter open.
I blushed furiously when my eyes came in contact with the Alpha’s. What was he doing here? On second thoughts, why was my bed suddenly so soft?
Then my eyes widened in realization, I wasn’t in my bed. I wasn’t even in my room, but the Alpha’s.
A wave of panic went through me. Jessy. She was all alone in my room. How did I get up here in the first place?
Before I could process these thoughts, the Alpha was back to tracing invisible patterns, this time on my arms, when I looked to him again, I shuddered from the intense lust and desire in his grey orbs. His touch was gentle, but it sent chills down my spine nonetheless.
He continued to trace a pattern down my arms and when he reached the bottom of my shirt he locked eyes with me, his grey orbs were as usual, cold, hard and beautiful but this time they swirled with lust and the sight heated my body and sent tingles shooting up my spine.
Greyson’s hand found their way into my shirt and he rested callous hands against me stomach, causing goosebumps to erupt all over my skin.
He began tracing a path, first slowly running his thumb along my side and stopping at my ribs before continuing upwards and once he got to my boobs, he paused for a second and without warning he tweaked my nipples and I shivered and moaned slightly at the feeling.
The look that passed between us was so heated and sensual it made me feel weak.
“Do you like this Freya?” He asked and a moan bubbled out of my lips at the deep, husky tone his voice had taken.
I nodded quickly to the question and in the next second my shirt was being pulled off, making my chest exposed to the cool air of the room.
I shivered lightly from the feeling but I couldn’t be sure if it was the cold air or the Alpha’s intense stare on my exposed cleavage.
Greyson leaned forward and kissed me deeply and roughly. His mouth was hungry, demanding, and needy while mine was soft, hesitant and unsure, but soon we found a balance and he was leading me in the direction he wanted us to go.
We both groaned and his tongue slid inside my mouth as he ran it over mine, causing my whole body to tremble.
After a few minutes of passionate makeout we broke apart for breath, but Greyson didn’t let me go, instead he stared deeply into my eyes from his position on top me and I watched how the lust slowly disappeared from his eyes.
Soon, it was replaced with something else. Anger? Why was he getting angry?
“Freya?” He said but he didn’t wait for me to respond before he was shouting.
“Freya!” His mouth moved again but the voice did not belong to him, it was too high pitched and quite frankly feminine.
“Wake up Freya!” His lips moved again and it was this time I recognized the voice.
I was exactly sure what had pierced through the fog, but I was suddenly awake and My eyes flipped open and I came onto with a gasp, jerking a little and almost landing on the floor when I made eye contact with Zoe’s angry eyes above me.
“Oh God Zoe, you scared me.” I said, placing my hands in my chest to try to get my thrumming heart under control.
Zoe only cut a dirty look at me and looked in the direction of Jessy. When I followed her eyes, it was to see my daughter fully awake, sitting up in the other bed and swinging her legs.
“Well I’ve been trying to wake you up for five minutes now. You’ve overslept, I pulled open the Alpha’s drapes and cleaned his room already. He’ll be down for breakfast soon and I don’t think he will be happy if you’re not out by then.” Zoe replied.
“Thanks so much.”
Moving out of the bed, I gestured for Jessy to follow me towards the bathroom while Zoe left the room, but before she could completely exit she paused at the door to address me again.
“You should be thinking about the fact that you have a child sharing the room with you and have some sort of control over whatever perverted thoughts you have before going to bed.” Zoe said, cutting one last judgmental look my way before slamming the door shut.
I stood rooted to my spot in shock and that was when I caught it, the last, fading scent of my arousal simmering in the air around me.
I had been having an erotic dream about the Alpha.
I could feel my entire face and body heat up with embarrassment. Zoe had witnessed that and now she was most probably going to tell some of the other girls and I would be slut shamed again.
I cringed at the thought and bit my lips slightly, berating myself for having that dream even when I knew that I didn’t exactly have control over my dreams.
“Mommy.” Jessy called, pulling on my hands, pulling me from my reverie.
I offered her a small weak smile to reassure her and she flashed her pearly white baby teeth at me. The action chasing away the last of my bad thoughts.
I hurried her into the bathroom and cleaned her quickly then dressed her before moving to do the same with myself.
I hurried into a fresh set of uniforms and put my hair in a neat ponytail before ushering Jessy out of the room and in the direction of the kitchen.
Christie was on kitchen duty as usual and a look of relief went through her face when she saw me.
“I was about to come get you myself. Zoe said she would but it’s been a while, I’m just rounding up on breakfast. The Alpha’s meal is on that island.” She said, pointing in the direction.
I hummed in reply, moving the set of dishes that had been laid out into a tray before proceeding to move out of the kitchen.
“Are you okay Freya, you look a little flush.” Christie called, eyeing me with care dancing in her eyes.
I swallowed heavily.
“I am, thanks. Just a little tired.”
Even through my shower and dressing up, the details of my dreams had stayed with me, and each time I remembered the look of pure lust and hunger that had covered the Alpha’s face, my body tingled in reaction, which in turn affected my general look.
And now the thought of facing him, not only after the dream, but also after what had happened in the punishment room was causing my tummy to bubble with worry.
I steeled myself to face the Alpha and moved in the direction of the dining room, with the tray balanced on my hands.
Thankfully, he wasn’t in the dining area yet and I set out to serve the food quickly, hoping to escape out of the room before he came down to eat. The longer I went without his presence around me, the better for me.
But it seemed like my luck was running thin already, because before I could finish setting up the table, the Alpha’s foot steps came back into the room.
“Good morning Master.” I greeted, keeping my head bowed.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
There was silence for a couple of seconds before the Alpha was breaking it by moving from his perched position by the door frame and towards the table but he refused to acknowledge my greeting or respond to it.
“Is this going to be a thing now Freya?” He said finally, after settling in his seat.
I furrowed my brows in confusion. What was he talking about?
“I-I don’t understand Master.”
“Sleeping in is not an option for you Freya. I paid millions of dollars to acquire you and the last thing I would tolerate is my most expensive maid sleeping all the time away.”
The Alpha’s voice was usually very cold but this time, it seemed like it turned icy and it sent a shiver up my spine as a result.
“I understand Master. I’m sorry, it’s not going to happen again.” I replied, biting my lips to prevent the tears that were burning behind my eyelids from running down.
The Alpha’s words stung at me. I wasn’t exactly sure if it was as a result of the harsh words or the cold condemning tone he had used in addressing me, but it burned through me and left me feeling empty.
“I would be attending to some pack duties outside the house today. Here’s a list of things I want finished before I get back. If a single thing on that list is left undone Freya, best believe you’ll be spending the night in the punishment room.”
The threat came out in the form of a low, menacing growl. The piece of paper that held the list of chores was placed folded on the table and when I picked it and ran my eyes through the list;
My breath seized in my throat.
