The Challenge Two Alphas, One Girl

Thaddeus POV

I was eager to get Friday away from Maze. She had not had the best life. Some of her basic needs had been denied and I intended to do much more than meet those needs. I wanted my Luna spoilt rotten, a pampered little princess. If she got out of control, I could always punish her a little. I was sure Friday would prefer my form of punishments to Maze’s bans and silent treatment. I was dressed casually in a dark green t-shirt and dark blue jeans. I opened the car door for Friday. She seemed truly excited for her very first date.

“These are for you,” I said, handing her a bouquet of red roses. She squealed in delight. She was so easy to please. “They’re beautiful!” Friday said, sniffing them “I love them. Thank you, Thaddeus.” “Do you want to guess where we are going?” I said as we drove through Marigold. “Um, to a…” she paused. “To…” I chuckled. “I’ve never been very social,” she said, her tone apologetic. “That’s ok, baby,” I said. “We are going to a spa.”

Friday gasped. I pulled into the parking lot of the Marigold Hotel. The Marigold Spa was on the ground floor. The staff greeted us warmly. The place was decorated in pastel shades of green and yellow with gold accents. I had arranged for Friday and I to have a whole day couple’s retreat, steam showers and massages for both of us and manicures and pedicures for Friday. I had asked Theo to call his mate and get suggestions and this was on the top of her list.

The masseuse led Friday and Ito a massage room with two massage beds. She showed us where to leave our clothes and where to get our robes. We had to enter steam shower first before our massages. She gave us towels to wrap around ourselves and other towels to dry off after. There was a sliding glass door that led from the massage room to the steam shower. The girl left us and Friday shyly looked at me. I turned my back so Friday could slip out of her clothes and wrap the towel around herself while I did the same.

With the towel hanging low around my waist, I could feel Friday’s eyes on my abs. I had never been happier about having a six-pack. I opened the door for her and she stepped into the shower room. I

• followed her, shutting the door.

Lukewarm water and soothing steam streamed at us from all four walls and overhead. There was a bench lining the furthest wall. Friday sat in the corner and I sat near to her. She was blushing so deeply, biting her lip and clutching her towel around her. She was so delicious and I could not wait to devour her.

Friday’s POV

The steam shower felt amazing. My aching muscles relaxed instantly. I held onto my towel for dear life. Thaddeus was so near, I could feel his body heat even with all the steam and water hitting us. His rippling muscles extended everywhere. He looked like he were carved from stone, perfectly lean but muscular. He was so huge compared to me. I was a doll to him.”

“You ok, baby?” He murmured in my ear, his voice husky. “Mmm, yes,” I said, enjoying the varying sensations.   covering nis paim. His paim was rougn.
