BRYAN

 

This is fancy.  I looked over at him out of the corner of my eye and my eyes trailed along his strong jaw line up to his full lips and I wanted to suck on them so badly.  I couldn’t even see his whole face but I did know that he was easily the sexiest man I had ever laid eyes on.  He was wearing an expensive watch and his hands were large and masculine.  He looked like money head to toe.  Who is this alpha?  My mind wandered off as I imagined those hands caressing my body and those lips following every move his hands made.

 

My eyes wandered over his mask and I was met with his beautiful blue eyes watching me look at him.  I nearly jumped from the surprise and was instantly embarrassed.  Great, he caught me staring at him. 

 

“I hope you like what you see, Bryan.”  That sexy smirk was right there teasing me.

 

Somehow, some way I mustered the courage to utter my next words.

 

“Maybe I would if I could see your whole face.  The party is over Alistair.  Why don’t you take off your mask?”

 

He seemed a little taken aback by my bluntness but I didn’t care.  I was beginning to find it ridiculous that he was still wearing that thing.

 

“Not yet.  I’ll reveal myself when the time is right.  So tell me something interesting about you.”

 

His tone was pretty firm so I decided to drop the mask thing.  I would see his face the next time we got together, if there was a next time.  I paused for a second and realized how much I wanted there to be a next time.

 

“Hmmm, something interesting?  I just graduated from college.”

 

He looked at me and seemed genuinely interested.  “Really?  What do you want to do next?”

 

“I want to go into interior design.  I am waiting to hear back about interviews with a bunch of firms, but I am dying to work at Blocke Designs.”

 

“Why is that?”

 

I looked at him like he was crazy.  “They are the best interior design firm in Eden Pines.”

 

“I guess I have heard of them.  I hope you get the job that you want.”

 

“Thanks, Alistair.  So what about you?  What do you do?”

 

“I do a little bit of everything.”

 

I didn’t push him because it was pretty clear that he wasn’t going to share more than that.  I told myself I could live with that for the moment, because eventually I would get more information out of him.  It was crazy that I was assuming I would see him again because I didn’t even know him, but every ounce of my being wanted to know more.

 

“So, I have a question for you, Alistair.  Why did you approach me the way you did at the party tonight?”

 

He turned his body toward me, gently laced his fingers through my hair, his thumb softly caressing my cheek as his eyes held mine.

 

“Because you are the sexiest omega I have ever seen in my life and I have to have you.  I want to know everything about you, Bryan.”

 

Before I could say anything he leaned in toward me, and before I knew what was happening I felt his soft lips on mine.  The fireworks came out of nowhere and actually scared me a little bit.  I mean the light up the sky, a million going off at once type of fireworks.  I let out a soft moan as his tongue slid over my lips and then plunged into my mouth.  He kissed me like no one had ever kissed me before and I didn’t fight it.  I instinctively wrapped my arms around him, lacing my fingers through his thick dark hair, and pressed my body against his.  His lips skimmed my neck and his tongue left a line of fire as he trailed up to flick my earlobe.

 

He trailed soft kisses down my neck and over to my other ear and flicked that earlobe.  My breath was coming in pants and I became increasingly aware of how much he turned me on.  In that moment in his car I wanted him to straddle me and ride me until neither of us could walk.  It shocked me how turned on I was because I barely knew the guy.  But we had a physical connection that was like nothing I had ever experienced.

 

“Come home with me, Bryan.”  His words were barely a whisper and I could tell that he was straining to control himself. 

 

Normally I would never even entertain the thought of going home with an alpha I had just met, but I was horny as hell and he was sexy as hell.  It was the perfect combination for me to throw all common sense out of the window and live in the moment for once.

 

“Okay, let’s go,” I agreed.

 

I think he was surprised by my answer because he hesitated for just a second before instructing his driver to take us to his place.  He kissed me all the way there and when I felt the car stop I pulled away from him and looked around.  I knew that neighborhood.  It was the wealthy area and we were on Astoria Street.  When we stepped out of the car he linked his fingers through mine and led me to the front door.

 

My mouth nearly fell to the ground as I looked up at his mansion and suddenly I felt super intimidated.

 

“This is your house?” I asked.

 

“Yes, come inside.”

 

It was enormous.  What was I doing?  The house was huge and I had no idea who he was.  I could easily disappear and who would know where to look for me?  No, going inside was not a good idea.  At least not yet.

 

I looked up at him, and slowly backed away.

 

He reached out to try to stop me and I sidestepped his reach.

 

“Hey, where are you going?”

 

“I should go home, Alistair.”

 

“Oh come on, I don’t bite.  Come on in, I want to spend more time with you,” he said.

 

I looked at him and searched his beautiful blue eyes.

 

“Take off that mask,” I challenged him.

 

He leaned against his door frame, a tiny smirk touching his mouth.

 

“All in good time.”

 

I gave him a soft smile and gently touched his cheek.

 

“It was nice to meet you.”  I then turned and walked away, hailing the first cab I saw.
