Hate Mates (The Alpha Shifter)

Their parents stared at them, a little dumbfounded. He couldn’t blame them for being taken aback by their change. Even Landon couldn’t believe it last night, Alexa touching his dick, making him come, and then, his face between her thighs.

He’d known exactly what to do. Pleasing his mate had been second nature to him. He loved the taste of her pussy and wanted to do it again, and again, and again. Fuck, he wanted to taste her right now. Instead, he kept his wits about him and faced his father, his alpha.

His father inhaled. Landon didn’t know if Alexa would have been able to detect it, but he saw the signs.

Being around his father all these years, learning to take over and being prepared for anything, he knew how to read his father.

“You two are different,” Marcel said.

“Alexa and I want the chance to be together without force. We don’t need the cuffs. We will keep the other punishments of being together, of forcing us to work side by side.” The words seemed empty because it wasn’t a punishment, it wasn’t by force. He loved, loved spending time with Alexa. Holding hands felt so fucking amazing. Being near her was incredible.

Tasting her was a dream come true. Seeing her naked was everything.

All of this was the best feeling in his whole life, and he wasn’t willing to fuck it up. Not now, not ever. For the first time in his life, he couldn’t figure out why he didn’t want to be with Alexa.

“We’ll do whatever you ask. We will live in that house, and we’ll do everything together,” Alexa said. “We promise, all we ask is that we don’t … have the cuffs. That’s all.”

Landon wasn’t entirely sure if Alexa had another agenda, or if she truly wanted to be with him. Either way, he would take her any way he could get her.

Marcel stared at him, and he looked back at his dad. He knew what his father was doing, attempting to see if they were being deceptive. They’d been told many times neither of them was a good liar. Was Alexa faking it? Did she intend to push him away when no one was around?

He didn’t know for certain, but he was willing to take the chance.

“I’ll have a decision in a few hours. I need to consult with the pack,” Marcel said. “I’ll be calling a town meeting tonight. Go home, and be back here by seven. I suggest a change of clothes and perhaps a shower.”

Landon nodded, his hand tightening on Alexa’s as they left the town hall.

They walked toward their home. No one stopped them. No one even attempted to ask them questions. His friends were nowhere to be seen, not that Landon minded.

It was actually hard for him to be near Ben and Drew, knowing the guys found her attractive. When it came to Alexa, he felt possessive of her. She belonged to him. She was his mate. No one else’s, and he wasn’t going to let her go.

They made it to their place with no interruptions, and even as they cleared the town and the pack, they didn’t let go.

He noticed the door had been fixed while they’d been away.

“The pack is fast,” Alexa said.

They stepped across the threshold, and as Landon closed the door, he was suddenly thrust against it. Wrapping his arms around Alexa, he kissed her back as she took possession of his lips. He ran his hands down her back, going to her ass, and he lifted her to press her against the door.

Her legs went around his waist, and he groaned, feeling her warmth right next to him. The scent of her arousal was heavy in the air.

“I’m sorry,” Alexa said.

“What for?”

“I need to kiss you, Landon, to feel you.”

“Thank fuck for that.” He stepped away from the door and carried her upstairs, taking her straight to the bedroom, but then, he remembered what his father said, and instead, went to the bathroom.

Landon walked right into the shower stall and switched on the water. He hid her away from the cold spray, kissing her.

Alexa unwound her legs, and he let her go.

She broke the kiss, grabbed his shirt, and then tore it open. Buttons sprayed in the shower, hitting the curtain and the walls. He grabbed the hem of her shirt and lifted it right over her head, tossing it to one side.

The bra she wore was sheer, and he took care of the clasp in the front. Her tits spilled free, full and heavy.

Alexa shocked him even more as she sank to her knees in front of him. His cock was already stiff, but it seemed to harden even more as she reached for his button and zipper.
