My Alpha and Beta

Ch. 9 - Mistake or Not

Riley's POV

My dreams were filled with the sexy man I laid next to. I never been so satisfied in bed before and I knew I never would again.

I watched this large, strong man sleep peacefully by my side. He was flat on his back sprawled out on the bed and head tilted towards me.

My body pressed close to his side, my feet rubbing slowly on his leg, while my fingers traced his impressive eight pack. How much did he work out to keep these bad boys?

I still felt a strong need to please him. It was so strange to feel this way, but I had a plane to catch and I couldn't stay any longer. Besides, I've been caressing his body for an hour and he barely stirred. He would be passed out for most the day.

I should be happy that he didn't wake up so we didn't have to have the awkward "I'll call you sometime" moment, knowing in reality we would never speak again. I gave him a small kiss on his lips then peeled myself from his side. I gathered my clothes and couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to have a man like him everyday.

A strong husband to protect and love me. A father to our many children because we couldn't keep our hands off each other. I giggled thinking of this beast of a man playing with little kids. He would probably step on them by accident.

I gave his body one last glance over biting my lip. He would definitely be in my dreams many nights for the rest of my life. I walked out of the bedroom and straight to the elevator. I didn't bother to leave a note. What was the point? He lived in Chicago and I was moving to Seattle. This was one hell of a layover.

When I arrived to my apartment I was greeted by every staff member I walked by. It was oddly nice and if I wasn't so tired I would of engaged more with each person that said "hi".

I didn't want to be my old self that closed everyone out, like I was in New York. It would be an adjustment, but one I was willing to make.

"Ms. Parker, I have been expecting you. My name is Brandon and I'm the concierge of this complex. Mr. Brookstone informed us of your arrival from New York and to make you feel at home. If there is anything you need at any time I'm here or you can call me." A tall gentleman handed me his card then pointed to the number at the bottom.

"This is all so much. I really appreciate it and thank you! Right now, I desperately need to get some sleep though. It has been a very long trip." I tried not to blush thinking of the many ways I over exerted myself last night, or I should say how Liam pushed my body to new limits.

"Of course. I'll show you to your new home. This way." The young man with shaggy light brown hair and a cute red bell hop outfit on guided me to a set of two elevators.

Brandon held the door and waved for me to enter. He was the perfect gentleman with kind eyes that had me melting. I wasn't overly attracted to him, but more felt safe. Every one of his words seemed to be sincere and his presence was confident and strong.

"These two elevators are the only ones that go to the top fifteen floors. It's a way to keep them more available and easier to monitor everyone's safety. You need your pin to get to your floor and this pin you chose will be for access to your door as well. Mr. Brookstone has converted much of this apartment complex to smart homes. The residents seem to have taken to the change very well so far."

I smiled at him, listening intently to every word. I felt like I was in way over my head with all this. I'm from New York, but my apartment was barely larger then a studio and a prayer was what kept us safe at night.

"Thank you, Brandon. I never lived in a smart home before. It's very exciting. So far Seattle has been nothing short of amazing. I can't wait to see more of the city and start my new job." I clapped my hands together with a deep breath. I was getting overly excited and needed to bring it down a bit until Brandon was gone.
