BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 28

028 – Two Days or More

LUCY.

I was expecting the Alpha would call for my attention, but he didn’t. I walked home toward the packhouse with him trailing behind me.

The house was deserted when we came in, and I was grateful for that because I didn’t know how to face Laira and Lena. I wanted to ask Alpha Stone where I would be staying for the night, but I didn’t want to start any conversation with him at the moment.

So I just walked ahead up the stairs. I saw him switch off the main lights and turn o n the dimmed lamps all over the ground floor before he followed me up the stairs.

As soon as we entered the bedroom, he walked past me and headed for the bathroom. I heard him open the shower, and I just slumped my body down on the single sofa. More than my body, my mind was tired from everything that happened i In the last twenty-four hours. And I was hoping to have a good night’s sleep, but it still depends on the Alpha.

After what felt like an eternity, the bathroom door opened and Alpha Stone stepped out, fully naked, and went directly to the bed as if I didn’t exist.

I stopped my mouth from dropping and my eyes from rounding as I watched him walk like a god toward his side of the bed. Everything about him was massive. And I was too lucky to be able to set my eyes on him this way.

But he kept ignoring me. He slid into the blanket, placing his arms beneath his head and closing his eyes.

I swallowed hard before standing up and heading for the bathroom. Fine, if he doesn’t want to talk, then we don’t need to talk.

I opened the shower and washed, all the

while thinking of ways to make this night bearable. Should I go out of the room and sleep somewhere else? Or should I swallow my pride and sleep beside him?

I was already done, but I still hadn’t made up my mind. A part of me wanted to leave him alone, but a part of me wanted t o stay. I knew I would never feel secure the whole night unless he was around me.

With my hair still slightly damp, I wrapped myself in the towel and just stared at the mirror. I didn’t even have clothes to wear and I just couldn’t get one from his closet since I had no idea how his mind was working at the moment. I let out one deep sigh before I moved and walked out of the bedroom. The Alpha was still in the same position when I left him, still with his eyes closed.

I stood in front of the foot of the bed.

“Alpha…” I tried to soften my voice, even if I was still slightly annoyed with him.

“Hmmm…” he answered without opening his eyes.

“I don’t have clothes to wear.

“In my closet. Wear whatever you’re comfortable wearing while you sleep.”

“I sleep comfortably naked, Alpha,” I told him, wondering if he would react. Because the truth was, I rarely slept naked because I didn’t trust anyone in the orphanage.

“Then sleep naked.” He replied in the same cold voice that irritated me.

I stopped in my tracks and went for the bathroom instead, hanging the towel on the rack before stepping out fully naked. The Alpha’s eyes were still closed, and I was disappointed. I wanted him to see me.

So instead of going directly into my side o f the bed, I went to the end of the bed where I stood earlier and went on all fours, before crawling on my way to my corner – the mattress dipping with my movement and I saw him on my peripherals finally opening his eyes.

I moved to my side with my ass facing him, and I swore I heard his breathing hitch.

“Are you trying to seduce me?” His voice came out hoarsely.

“Are you mad at me?” I asked him back almost immediately as I slipped inside the blanket and rolled on my side, my back facing him.

“I’m not. Are you mad at me?”

“No,” I replied, even though I was still irritated with him.

I felt the mattress dip behind me before his arms slipped under my waist and the others snaked around me, dragging me towards him until my back hit his torso.

“I don’t want to argue tonight, Lucy. My mind is so tired.” His voice came out sad and all the annoyance I felt just vanished.

My mind was tired too. “Me too…”

“Can we just sleep? We can argue again tomorrow.” He sank his head into the look of my neck, and I couldn’t help the smile from curling on my lips. His hold o n my body tightened as his breathing slowed down.

He was falling asleep. I scooted my body closer to his, letting his warmth envelope. my senses and my heart. “Goodnight, Alpha Stone.”

“Goodnight, my Angel…” He said it in almost a whisper before his lips pressed behind my ear. My heartbeat slowed. down as my body relaxed before my eyes slowly shut.

My eyes fluttered, but I kept them closed when I felt warm and wet lips trailing on the skin of my neck while a hand was cupping my bare pussy, a finger brushing against my folds.

I suppressed a smile from forming on my lips as I felt the Alpha’s hard cock probing against my thigh. What time was it anyway? It was still dark.

“Lucy… wake up…” His voice was so gentle that if I didn’t have any evil in me, I would have woken up and pleasured him completely. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

But I wanted to be wicked, and punish him for the confusion he was giving me, s o I kept my breathing still and pretended not to be affected by his touch while hoping he would not be able to smell any arousal coming off of my body.

His mouth began aggressively sucking the skin of my neck up to my collarbone. I was sure he was leaving some marks while his finger was already in between m y folds, but he was not pushing forward – he was just there coating his finger with my wetness.

I stayed still for Goddess knows how long before the Alpha decided I would not wake up. He let out a deep sigh before he let go of my body and rolled off the bed, leaving me cold without his warmth.

I was already tempted to call him back so we could continue with what he started, but I held my ground. A little refusal wouldn’t hurt him, but at least I found out that he was gentlemanly enough to not push himself on me without my approval. I heard the bathroom door open before a shower cascaded and hit the tiled floor. I was sure he was finding his own release by now. Good for him.

I turned my body around and grabbed his pillow, hugging it tightly as I inhaled his manly scent, letting it lull me back to sleep.

“Sleep well, sleepy head. I’ll see you soon …” I was sure it was not a dream that the Alpha whispered those words and kissed my lips before leaving his bedroom, but I refused to open my eyes and wake up.

It had been far too long ago since I had had a really good sleep. The Alpha didn’t wake me up or order me to do anything, so I might as well take advantage of it.

It was almost noon when I woke up, and I didn’t waste time fixing myself before heading downstairs. I had no other clothing option, so I put on one of Alpha Stone’s smaller shirts and the same pants I had yesterday before I rushed out of his suite.

I was hoping he was in a good mood and wouldn’t make a big deal about the fact that I overslept. I didn’t want him to think I was lazy, because I wasn’t. It was just his bed and his pillows were too comfortable.

I didn’t meet anyone on my way down the stairs or while I walked down the corridor, so I had no idea where to go until I ended up in what looked like the kitchen of the packhouse.

My stomach grumbled as I stood in the entryway, and soon Lena came out from another exit, followed by Gamma

Kingston.

“Good morning…” I greeted them, trying to hide the embarrassment of sleeping in late.

“I think it’s noon already,” the Gamma replied as he anchored an arm around his mate’s shoulder.

“I overslept…”

“Well, I’m glad you got some rest. Are you hungry? I’ll have an Omega fix something for you.” She was about to turn around, but Gamma Kingston stopped her.

“I can do that… I’m sure Lucy would rather chat with you than with me.” He kissed her lips and walked away without waiting for her approval, and I just found myself smiling at their interaction. Lena shrugged her shoulders while a smile played on her lips as she watched the Gamma disappear to where I thought the main kitchen was before she shifted her gaze back to me.

“Come sit here…” She motioned for me to come over to the middle counter where she was leaning.

I walked toward her and sat on the high stool. “I can prepare my own food. I’m an Omega too, so I’m not sure if…”

“Sssh… You’re the Alpha’s girlfriend, so stay still and wait for the food to come.”

I was about to tell her that it wasn’t a real thing, but she motioned with her fingers to zip my mouth, reminding me that no one had to know I was not the real thing.

“So how was your sleep? Did you have a good night?” Her brows wriggled before her eyes fell on my shirt. “I left you a big paper bag with dresses on the couch at the Alpha’s receiving area. Did you not see it?”

I shook my head. “I was in a rush to go down because I overslept and I just borrowed a shirt from the Alpha.”

“I see. But the clothes there will be enough until the Alpha can take you there to buy things.”

“Is he not mad that I overslept? Where is he anyway? At his office? Maybe I should go and show myself to him first before I eat.”

“Oh, the Alpha is not here. He and his Beta went out of the territory.’

“Oh…”

“We have a territory that is far from here that was inhabited, and we got reports a few weeks back that there were settlers. The Alpha had ordered them to leave, but they didn’t want to, so he had no choice but to make an appearance there today.”

I just nodded, biting my bottom lip.

“We don’t know if they were ordinary nomads or rogues, so the Alpha needs to take a whole lot of reinforcements with him.”

“Is it a dangerous task?”

“For Alpha Stone? No. Danger for the settlers if Beast comes out. I think Beast is the reason no one tried to clash with Alpha Stone lately.”

“I see. So they’ll be out the whole day…” I suddenly missed him.

Lena chuckled softly. “Whole day? No… A whole day is not enough. Two days at the least…”

“Two days?!” My eyes widened, my hands clutching the edge of the marble counter. I was not able to control my reaction.

She nodded her head before she added, “It can also go up to four to five days depending on the situation.”

Me and my pride! Maybe he wanted to wake me up to say goodbye and not to fuck me, but because I assumed too much, now I didn’t even get to say and kiss him goodbye.
