My Beta Mate

Vegas baby!

Jacks P.O.V

I past Rosa on my way up to my room, "hey, is Maddie still up there?". I hoped she was, I just need to see her and apologise, I can't help but think I've fucked up.

"Uh yeah, I told her to wait in your panic room." She replied. As I was walking away she called me back "I know you don't want to hurt her Jack but... Look, she's a sweet girl, she is obviously tormented by what happened to her and the best thing for her right now is for her to be with someone she can trust. I know you like her and she likes you to, a lot. Just don't fuck it up, okay?" She told me politely but sternly.

I nodded and carried on making my way to my room. I was glad Rosa had spoken to her, I've been a close friend to Rosa and Connor for years, she's like a sister and I knew she was looking out for my mate and me. I got to my room and paused before opening the door. I had to run through what I was going to say in my head so that I didn't risk fucking it up again.

Slowly, I knocked on the door to my room and opened it slowly whilst peeking my head through. I couldn't see her so I walked into my office to see the opening to my panic room in the floor open. I walked down slowly and saw her watching the screens that showed CCTV footage of the whole house. She looked so content and curious, I didn't want to disturb her but I knew episode had to talk to her.

"Maddie? Hey, is it okay if we talk?" I asked. Wow, I've never felt so nervous before! This is what love does to you I guess.

She looked up from the screens, "yeah, sure."

I walked over to her and held her hand softly, pulling her up slowly so we were like 30cm apart. She looked down and I put my index finger under her chin and lifted her head up slightly. "I am so sorry. I ran off because I couldn't deal with knowing that you'd been through such bad things and that I didn't help you. I hate myself for that, I wish I'd have been able to get you out of there and look after you. I feel responsible and I had to run because I knew if I stayed I'd have flipped, I knew you were fragile and that I wouldn't help if I blew up and scared you. Please, forgive me?"

She looked at me before putting her small hand on my cheek and smiling softly, "it's okay, I get why you walked away. Please, don't let her get between us, I want to put her behind me and I want to be with you, it sounds silly but I've known you for a few hours and I can't help but feel warm and tingly when I'm around you."

"Is it a good warm and tingly?" I asked her as I edged closer to her.

"Mhmm" she nodded as I leant forward and kissed her. I put my hand around her back and pulled her forward gently, and put my other hand on her cheek. Our tongues mixed and she moaned into my mouth. She moved her hands from my checks and wrapped her arms around my neck. I picked her up and she wrapped her legs around my waist and walked over to the bed in the corner of the panic room. I laid her down gently and our kisses became more rapid. Our breathing more laboured. I lifted my top over my head and she unbuttoned her shirt, as I kissed down the side of her neck. I kissed her neck and she moaned under me. I couldn't help but think about how I'd mark her in this exact spot, I couldn't do that now, not yet.

Our heavy make out session was cut short when I felt a voice in my head, 'hey man, I'm sorry to interrupt whatever it is you're doing, I need to see you in my office in five'. I groaned lowly to myself.

"What's wrong?" Maddie asked me.

"Nothing to worry your perfect little head about, I got to go see Connor. Not sure what for but I'll be back, I promise" I said as I kissed her lips again.

Connors P.O.V

"Hey man sorry to interrupt your time with Maddie, how are you guys?" I asked Jack.

"Quit lying bro, you know how it is! I know you too well" he laughed while he punched me in the arm.

"Haha true, I do know!" I laughed back, "anyway back to business" I said.

"I get the feeling it's good news, your face doesn't look as depressing and there isn't any panic" he said as he crossed his arms and leant against my desk.

"Good? Oh it's fucking fantastic! We're going on a little road trip." I told him.

"We're? Where and why?" He laughed back with curiosity etched on his face.

"Me, Rosa, Maddie and you. Oh you know, in fact, I'll let you guess. Place we've dreamt about going to since we were like 13. Known for its bright lights, casinos, hotels. Got that sky scraper with a roller coaster on top of it?" I told him as his face lit up with excitement.

"Your kidding right?" He asked with shock.

"We're going to Vegas baby!!"
