With me

KURT’s POV

After making the deal with Alpha Gregory, I returned to my pack. He wanted us to celebrate, however I was definitely not in the mood. I just said he had a few things to sort out, but that we could see about the official celebration in two weeks. He agreed, of course. From what I could tell, if I told him I wanted him to shave his head, he would allow me.

My heart was heavy and Thorin hadn't uttered a peep. He wasn't okay with marrying a female who wasn't meant for us, yet it's not like I had a choice. Either I chose someone, or the King himself would. At least that way I still had a chance of meeting someone reasonably decent. And Giselle Starling seemed to be very suited for the role.

I entered the Packhouse and as I went up the stairs, I could smell Rosa's delicious scent. She was undoubtedly taking a shower. The water ran and I could practically hear the drops running down her body. My mind flew away. I wish I could run my tongue and dry her body.

‘Let's go there… for the love of it, I'm dying, here!’

‘No, Thorin!’ Because if I got my hands on her, she would never stop being mine. I would have her again and again. And that will be the end of her and me.

As I passed her room, I heard the bathroom door open and her scent was making me delirious. I didn't realize I was opening the door until I saw her. She was wrapped in a towel, her hair damp, her skin pink from the steam.

She turned and our eyes met. She looked delicious, like a juicy fruit that I wanted to bite into, taste, and slather myself thoroughly.

"A-alpha Kurt!" she exclaimed, gripping the towel tighter.

“Oh, I…I'm sorry. I…” I'm such an idiot that I don't even know what excuse to make! “I just arrived. in the pack.”

Okay, that didn't justify my being there, like a pervert, looking at her the way I was.

She swayed slightly, apparently not knowing what to do or say.

“Hmm… It's a little late. But if you want, we can take a walk around the pack,” I offered.

"But aren't you tired? Didn't you just arrive?”

‘Tired for you? Never!’ Thorin said and I told him to be quiet.

“Not. I'll just take another shower and change. Have you had lunch?”

She shook her head in the negative.

“Not yet.”

“Excellent! We can eat out then. I'll be right back!”

I left as quickly as possible. Being in the same environment as her was proving to be quite difficult. Good thing she didn't seem to notice the bulge inside my pants. If she noticed it, she said nothing.

‘Too bad… I'd love to show it to her’. That wolf is a bastard! But… I couldn't say I didn't think the exact same thing.

I went to the bathroom and had to take care of my erection. I imagined Rosa in various positions, right there in the bathroom. On the edge of the bed, soaking wet. She must have been so hot and delicious… I was dying to feel the friction inside her, feeling her tighten around me more and more, moaning my name as I was moaning hers.

When I got ready, I saw that her bedroom door was open. She was in bed, reading. So beautiful, her hair cascading over her shoulders. She was wearing one of the clothes I had set out for her. A light, peach dress. It was even more perfect than I thought it would be, on her. Rosa's feet were delicate and well made.

Holy crap! It was getting more and more complicated. I couldn't look at this female without wanting to attack her! Everything about her made me wish I was glued to her, and I began to wonder if Thorin was right. She didn't have a wolf, yet, so therefore none of us could feel anything. But… What if the next day she woke up and was my destined mate? I would be beyond screwed.

I decided to clear my throat to get her attention. Normally, any female would know I was there, after all, any Alpha gives off a distinctive scent. But Rosa... maybe she was too focused on her book. Yeah, she must have been, because she didn't hear me… I entered the room and started to approach her.

‘The Shining’ was written on the cover. Really? She was reading a horror book? So beautiful, so delicate… I thought she would be reading a romance! I can't deny that I was pleasantly surprised, as it was one of my favorite books.

"Which part are you in?" I asked and she got scared, dropping the book.

I reached down to catch the book in the air and ended up holding her hand with it. It was as if a current of electricity ran through my fingers.

“Oh…” She withdrew her hand from mine and I didn't like it at all. “They're going to the Overlook Hotel.”

“Hmmm. I really like this book,” I said. Amazing how I looked like an idiot next to her.

“I've always wanted to read it, but I wasn't allowed to,” she said. “Thanks for lending it to me.”

I had left a pile of books for her, but I didn't even know if she liked to read or if she wanted those books. I didn't even know how I ended up putting that book specifically there.

“You can read whichever and however many books you want. The library has many copies. The office, too.”

“Thank you.” The flush on her cheeks… She was so beautiful!

The dress she was wearing had a slight neckline, not too deep. But since she had nice round breasts, she looked a little naughty. I didn't see it before because of her hair in the front of her chest.

“What's it?” she asked, following my gaze. Damn it!

"Don't you think you'd better put on a blouse?"

A blouse? For the love of it, she's wearing a dress, you idiot! Of course she frowned. But she was still beautiful.

“A blouse? Ah… but it's kind of hot, isn't it?”

Yes, it was hot. No, Kurt, control yourself!

“It’s just… I think…”

“Is it ugly?” she asked, placing her hand over the dress. No, no! Ugly, no! On the contrary, it is more than appetizing!

“You are perfect. If you don't mind the stares from the other males… You're a newbie here and they're going to be staring, no doubt.”

I felt a lump forming in my throat. But she… she laughed!”

“Look at me?” she asked and threw back her head, laughing. And she was really finding it funny, because there were even tears in the corner of her eyes.

“Obvious! Rosa… you have no idea how beautiful you are, do you?”

I shouldn't have said that. Shit, shit! She stopped laughing and looked at me seriously.

You know that moment in movies when the couple kiss and the movie ends happily ever after? That's how I felt. But not with happy endings, exactly. The 'film' was at the beginning, therefore, it would be more like those films in which the couple will go through several tribulations.

“I… I'll change clothes, then.”

“No, don’t” I grabbed her arm. So warm...” “You don't have to. And no one will mess with you.”

"And how do you know that?" She asked, now with a little hint of humor.

"Because you'll be with me!"
