The Challenge Two Alphas, One Girl

Thaddeus’ POV

I woke up alone and disgruntled. Last night I had taught my pretty little Luna about having s*x without technically breaking the rules. The next night we spent together I would teach her about making love. I was painfully stiff. My inner wolf was agitated, dissatisfied with the lack of intimacy with his mate. Today was Maze’s day to spend with my little Luna. I tried not to think about it. .

I showered in cold water and went to breakfast. Friday was late for breakfast. I smirked to myself. Maze was reading the newspapers and drinking his plain coffee. His face was entirely covered by the open newspapers. He did not greet me. I wondered if he had heard or smelled what happened just before midnight between Friday and me.

“Good morning, Maze,” I said. “Good morning, Thaddeus,” he said without lowering the newspapers. “Good morning, Alphas,” said Friday sheepishly, entering the room.

My eyes went straight to her. She looked embarrassed and did not meet my eyes. She was back to calling me alpha. She called both of us alphas. Maze noticed that too, finally lowering the newspapers, and scrutinising her expression. She looked so pretty and delicate in a short baby blue dress. Her waves were up in a high ponytail exposing her neck, her marking spot. My inner wolf growled.

“What do you want to drink?” I asked her. “I’ll fix it. Today is my day,” said Maze. “Um, the same as yesterday please, sweat, milky coffee,” she said softly.

I could tell she was still sleepy. I felt a little guilty. After making my mate c*m, the right thing was to soothe her until she fell asleep in my arms but this challenge did not allow for that. I knew I had probably left her with her adrenaline pumping and her emotions a bit frazzled. I noticed Maze was putting significantly less sugar and milk in my little Luna’s coffee than I had put yesterday. She sipped it and tried to hide the face she made, reacting to the bitterness. I smiled. Maze and I, having already eaten, watched Friday eat. Her appetite was much better today. I gave myself a congratulatory pat on the back for working up that appetite for her.

Friday’s POV

I was so embarrassed walking into the alpha dining room. Had Maze heard me scream last night? Had he smelled my arousal? Had he smelled Thaddeus’ arousal? My body was sore from all the activity but I also felt so excited to see Thaddeus, even just for a few moments at breakfast. I wished I could have slept in his arms last night. I was so tired after our “meeting” but Itossed and turned. I knew that if I had been in his arms with his smell and body heat around me, then I would have fallen asleep quickly and slept peacefully throughout the night. Maze made my coffee sort of bitter but I drank it without complaint and ate slowly, aware that both alphas eyes were on me.

He actually chuckled. He squeezed my waist and then squeezed my thighs as if to say stop moving. I stilled, my heart racing from being touched all of a sudden. I would not have worn a short dress if I had known I was going to the movies but I did not feel cold being this close to Maze. I kept thinking about how his hands felt on my bare thighs.
