The Three Alphas

Chapter 11 - Another Tour

I stand up from the table and reach to grab our plates, but Theo grabs my wrist to stop me. I'll never get used to the feeling of the tingles when they touch me. It feels absolutely amazing. I look up at him and he gives me a soft smile.

"I've got it, Darling. Don't worry about it." He said, pulling the plates to him, making a small stack in front of him.

"But you made the food, please let me clear up." I protest. 

"No, Inez. It's our job to provide for you." He growled. Typical male wolf. They pride themselves on being able to protect, provide and care for their mates. "Please, sit down. You're not going to lift a finger while we're here." I huff and sit back down. There was no point in arguing with him, so I backed down. Henry chuckled, and pulled me into his lap. His embrace washed away all traces of my annoyance. I'm not sure if I like the hold that they have over me. 

"Hey, settle down Sweetheart." Henry purrs in my ear, running his hand over my thigh. "Do you want me to give you a tour of our territory?" He asks, and I nod. "Okay, let's go." He said, standing up with me in his arms. He sets me down on the floor, and reaches for my hand. I take it, lacing my fingers in his.

"Bye Theo." I say, looking over at him.

"Goodbye, Darling. Enjoy the tour." He said, giving me a grin.

I blush furiously and turn to Henry, who reaches up to touch my face and runs his thumb over my cheek.

"You're absolutely beautiful when you blush, Sweetheart." He says gently, which only makes me blush more.

"No, stop, I look like a tomato. It's embarrassing." I say and both Theo and Henry erupt in laughter. I growl and tug Henry out of the kitchen. "Where to first?" I ask, looking up at him.

"I was thinking we can go to the pack house first, then to the training area, and then we can go wherever you please. We can do a tour of our house last." He says as we head out of the house. I nod and run my thumb over his hand, our fingers still intertwined. He gave my hand a small squeeze in return. We start our walk over to the pack house.

"Would you like to go on a date with me tomorrow?" He asks, breaking the comfortable silence between us.

"Of course, I'd love to. What did you have planned?" I ask, turning my attention to him. He grins, and stops walking. I stop and look up. His arms snake around my waist and I lay my hand on his chest, the other on his shoulder. 

"That's for me to know, and you to find out tomorrow. All you have to know is, wear something that you can easily take off to shift." He pauses. "You are breathtakingly beautiful, Inez." He says lowly, pressing his forehead against mine. The blush returns to my cheeks, butterflies in my stomach.

"You're not too bad yourself." I say, biting my lip. My breath hitching. The sparks were intense.

"Can I kiss you?" He asks, and I nod furiously. He doesn't hesitate before pressing his lips to mine softly. I respond almost immediately and almost moan at how good his lips feel against mine. His arms tighten around my waist, bringing me closer to him until my body was pressing against his. My arms find their way around his neck, and my fingers run through his hair. He growls softly, and deepens the kiss, he runs his tongue along my bottom lip asking for permission, which I grant. Moments feel like forever. I pull away, gasping for air. I look up at Henry, who was grinning like an idiot. We stand in silence for a couple of moments, still clinging on to each other, not wanting to let go.

"I don't know what we did to deserve you, Inez, but I'm extremely grateful to have you." He says, meeting my eyes. I almost melt. I give him a smile, and press my lips against his before pulling away again. I didn't have any words, I'm too lost in the haze from the kiss. I hate him for making me feel this way. "Shall we start your tour, Sweetheart?" He asks, grinning and I nod. He unwraps his arms from around me, and I do the same.
