Till Our Souls Wilt (Age Gap)

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

"How was shopping?" Sam asked, sitting on the couch watching cartoons with Dixon.

"Good! We brought you guys dinner." Mom set the take out on the coffee table in front of them. Sam and Dixon perked up and opened the boxes. Dixon was so eager for his chicken strips he was chowing down on them before Sam could break it apart for him.

"Too fast, small bites." Sam raised a brow at him. Mom leaned down to give Dixon a snuggle while he gnawed on his chicken strip.

"Mommy missed you." She cooed into his neck. He giggled and tried kissing her with his greasy crumby face. Mom turned to Sam and gave him a slow loving kiss. "Mommy missed Daddy too?" He whispered against her lips. I turned my head when their kiss began to get too heated for my liking.

"Mom. Sam. Your son is literally right next to you." I shivered at their overdone affection. They laughed as I made my way upstairs with my bags.

I shut my door, locking it and throwing the bags to the bed. Tomorrow morning I had to train, with my mate, alone, who happens to be over twice my age, yet looks so fucking effortlessly hot. I huffed and collapsed to the bed. My life was a shit storm. I heard my phone ping, flipping over I pulled it from my pocket.

Tilly
- We have a history test tomorrow. Did you take notes Friday?

I completely forgot about tomorrow's test. I sent Tilly a picture of my notes and grabbed my textbook, cramming every detail I could into the little area I had left in my brain. My mind kept wandering to Arlo, the way he smelt, how he smirked at me. I tried tucking my bunny away in the closet last night but ended up getting him back out an hour later. It pissed me off, he did this. He did these sweet things for me as a baby and they were ironed into my subconscious. Giving a child a toy that reeks of their mate? That's manipulative.

My phone pinged again, I checked the time to see I had been studying for 4 hours now. Picking up the phone I saw an unknown number. I quickly unlocked the device and clicked on the message.

- 5am woods out back. Arlo.

Really? He's just going to send a text at 10pm and tell me the time and place?

- 6am woods out back. Thea.

My response was condescending. There was no way in hell I was getting up at 5, School started at 8:30, 6 was early enough.

- I will see you at 5.

I chuckled and threw my phone down. He was going to be the death of me. I hated that I could be attracted to someone and hate them at the same time. I wanted him to suffer, but I also wanted to see what his handsome rugged face would look like if he ever got the chance to burry himself inside me. My panties felt wet while picturing him between my thighs, aggressively taking my virtue away as if he owned it. As if it were his all along.

I covered my face with my hands. I've never thought such dirty things so easily before. I was loosing it. Grabbing a sleep shirt and some underwear I went to the bathroom and started the shower. I looked myself in the mirror and studied my olive skin, leaning forward I analyzed my light brown eyes. I admired Arlos blue ones, he was so fair yet so dark. I took my shower, trying to rinse Arlo from my brain. After saying goodnight to Mom and Sam I crawled into bed and rolled my eyes as I pulled the bunny close to my face, giving him a good sniff before snuggling him to my chest.

Arlo's POV

It was 5:30 in the morning. The sky was still dark and Thea has yet to show herself. How can an Alphas daughter be so neglectful about her responsibilities. She should have started training months ago. 15 more minutes passed, I picked up my phone about to call her until I heard her in the distance making her way into the woods.
