Secret Love

Chapter 11

Levi wandered out of the school grounds until he found himself standing in front of a children's playground, which was now deserted due to the late hour. Walking up to the bench, Levi sat stretching his legs out with his arms crossing over his chest.

Thinking about today's event.

Growing up, Levi was never close to anyone, let alone them making contact with him. Still, today he not only overstepped the boundaries he put up for himself, but he went as far as letting them see his vulnerable state.

The most shameful thing about this ordeal was that he didn't hate it one bit; every time Dante touched him, a burst of pleasure would pulse throughout his body, making himself weak to the man's touch.

Levi knew that he would be an Omega and had prepared himself for the day he got his first pheromones; he had read it in books and seen it on social media about how to mask one's scent, especially in the presence of an Alpha.

Who knew that all of his planning his precautions would be a waste of time.

Levi got up from the bench; because of how fast he got up, his head spun, making him slightly dizzy he tried to grab onto the metal piece of the bench with his other hand over his temple, gently messaging it.

Not looking at where he was putting his hands, Levi fell forward when his hand couldn't find the metal piece on the bench where people would put their arms on.

His body would've hit the ground entirely, landing on the bark that would've made his fall uncomfortable. Suddenly a strong pair of arms grabbed him in time to stop his fall.

Waiting for his head to stop spinning, Levi looked up and saw a handsome face, the face that he would not be able to forget no matter how hard he tried.

"You.."

"Do you know how late it is?"

"You.." Levi could not finish the words he wanted to say; instead, he turned his head away from Dante to hide his tears.

"It's late; no normal person would be out here at this time; what are you thinking being out here alone?"

"Isn't because of you that I'm here," replied Levi turning around to face Dante before continuing.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be out here; if you didn't do what you did to me today.."

"So another Alpha can smell your pheromones and do those things to you? Let me tell you something not all Alphas are the same. If I hadn't walked past when I did, you would not have been so lucky." said Dante raising his voice.

Levi did not reply, only turning his head away from Dante's stare, lightly sobbing.

Seeing Levi's state, Dante took a deep breath and spoke in a more gentle tone."I'm not sorry for what I did; I am just glad that I came when I did; the thought of another holding you terrifies me."

When he still didn't get a reply, Dante gently held Levi's chin, using his forefinger and thumb, slowly moving his face towards him until their eyes met.

"The first time I met you was when you were working at your part-time job; you were serving many college students who had made a racket disturbing other shoppers. Who later on were escorted out of the building by security. It was then that I saw you only for a moment. You had a sour face, whether from the noise of the students or something else I couldn't tell. The second time I saw you was when you were helping an elderly woman cross the road when no one else did. This time I saw the expression you made, One that had pulled my heartstrings. The only thought going through my mind that day was how lucky would it be if you should use that expression to me."

Dante stopped to wipe away a teardrop before continuing.

"I went to your workplace a few times to seek you out, but I was unlucky. The first day I walked into our classroom and saw you sitting there, I was eccentric; I couldn't hold down my emotions. It took every willpower I had not to grab you and kiss you there in front of everyone."

Dante stared into Levi's watery eyes for a few seconds before lowering his face where his lips touched a warm, soft mouth. Levi stood rooted to the ground, afraid that the slightest movement would end the kiss.

Not experienced with kissing, Levi closed his eyes and let Dante take the lead; Dante pushed their bodies closer, resulting in a gasp coming out of Levi's mouth, the opportunity he needed to slide his tongue in.

Once the hot moist tongue invaded his mouth, Levi moaned the sensation of their tongues being entwined, mixing their saliva in progress. It made Levi feel something deep down, trying to come alive.

After a while, Dante ended the kiss and looked into Levi's dazed gaze watching as the more petite man needed time to catch his breath.

"That was my first kiss," said Levi touching his lips.

"It was my pleasure."

"What now? What are we going to do."

"I wanted you from the first moment I saw you; after what we had shared, things cannot go back to how it was."

"But.."

"Levi, please be mine. I promised to love and care for you as long as I lived."

"Why does it sound like you are proposing"

"Levi, I am pouring out my heart here, and you are not taking it seriously; my pride is wounded."

"Dante, please be serious, just this morning, you and I were strangers with different social statuses, and now you want me to be.."

"My status does not change how I feel about you. Don't think about anything. Do as your heart says."

Levi moved his eyes away from Dante's face and looked at their interlocked hands. Compared to him, Dante's hands were huge, engulfing him.

A few seconds pass Levi lifted his head and spoke.

"Okay, but we keep it a secret for now."

"What do you mean to keep it a secret."

"Us, no ones must find out about you and me yet, until later you might not care what others think of you because you are used to being in the spotlight and being surrounded by friends. But I'm not used to all of that; I grew up being alone."

"Okay, I understand; if it makes you uncomfortable, we will take it a step at a time."

"Thank you."

"Your welcome", replied Dante as he hurled the more petite man into his embrace, hugging him. Levi let out a small giggle at the gesture while standing on his toes to encircle his arms around Dante's neck, enjoying the hug.
