Infinite Temptations

That a challenge?

Theo's POV:

I was basically healed, I still had some stiffness and my arm ached, but all the wounds were well on their way to healing, They were really only bright red scars that would hopefully fade with a few more days. Since Mason saw them he's been trying really hard to act like he's fine but the rest of that first night he was really withdrawn and quiet, which was unlike him. He usually struck up conversations with everyone and he really could light up a room. Even now whenever I'm in the same room he withdraws back into his own mind. It was starting to become frustrating.

With how many times he has apologized to me, I knew exactly where his brain was going. He felt responsible and I really wanted to figure out a way to get him out of his own head and to see me. I was fine and I didn't blame him for one second. In his head if it hadn't been for him and he hadn't been my mate then I wouldn't have been on Alpha Langs radar. If it hadn't been for him, he thinks I would have conceded. I probably wouldn't have, knowing myself but he thinks I would have and should have. There was absolutely no chance I was going to let him continue on with blaming himself.

He was currently in the game room with Paisley, Jake, Apollo, Laelynn, Amelia, and Jackson. Jackson was turning of age tomorrow and I kinda thought he might be Apollo's mate, which would be relieving honestly. I stood in the doorway and watched them all shoot the shit while Him and Apollo battled on screen. I silently moved closer and he groaned as his character was knocked off the battle platform in the game they played. I leaned down and let my arms hook around him, resting on his chest.

"Hm.. I thought you'd be better than that."

"Better than you." He quipped.

I smirked. He had never even seen me play a game. "You think so?" I whispered into his ear.

Goosebumps appeared on his skin, I was closer to his neck than ever before, you know when not having a mental breakdown.

"I know so." His face turned a very light pink as he knew he was talking out of his ass.

"That a challenge?" I lowered my vocal tone purposely.

I could feel everyone else in the room watching us.

"Y-yeah." He stumbled as I pressed a kiss against his neck.

I released him and stood up. I held my hand out to Apollo and he handed me the controller.

"Okay. Winner takes all." I said.

He turned his head to look at me.

"What does the winner get?"

I started the game and leaned down as the countdown started. "The winner gets.... A blowjob."

He froze with wide eyes. The game started and I smirked before I turned and ran my guy off the battle platform.

"Oh no.... I lost." I quipped, trying to keep an innocent tone.

Paisley bit her lip to keep from laughing. Apollo's jaw dropped as Laelynn seemed to snap out of a mindlink. She must have explained to him what I was doing. I handed Apollo back the controller. I ran my fingers across his shoulder, up the back of his neck, and tangled them into his hair before I gently pulled his head back so he could see me.

"You cheated." He breathed.

"Is it cheating or is it playing to my wants?" I leaned closer. "I expect to see you in our bedroom in five minutes. Not a minute more."

His pupils dilated. I smirked and pressed a kiss against his soft lips. I released him and winked at Paisley before walking out. It was the first time I had called it our bedroom and I think that's really what got him. Before I said that he seemed ready to deny me. I headed for the third floor and I passed my Dad.
