Chapter 49 - The Tycoon Alpha's Temptation

ALPHA KING JOSH’S POV

She was a temptress.

Rose doesn't have to try to make me fall into a devouring temptation.

In fact, at this point, she was no longer my temptation. She was my fragile addiction that I would do anything to hold on to.

Within a twinkle of an eye, I lost myself in the heated kiss we were sharing. I easily dominated the kiss while pressing Rose’s back to a tree but soon, he began to fight me for dominance and I loved that.

That made me deepen the kiss and she moaned into my mouth like a seductress.

“I want you…”

I groaned as I detached our mouths for barely three seconds and I claimed her lips again, taking away Rose’s opportunity to respond.

She wanted me to… I could smell it.

But to be honest, I didn't want to stop kissing her even if this would advance right where beside a lake that had so many negative stories tied to it. I could feel my heart throbbing fast as I thought of when the next time I would have access to Rose like this would be.

She was an incredible woman that only does things she wanted to do.

She wanted me and she came for me.

“I want you equally, Alpha King Josh..”

Rose purred when I eventually released her mouth to pay attention to the place I would mark her– oh, yes. I would mark this female even if it has to be the last thing I did. She was mine.

Alpha Richard might have some sort of hold on her but she became mine the night she came for me in the forest and somehow healed me of my wounds and my allergic reactions.

Rose was mine… I could never say that enough…

“Please…” Rose whimpered as I kissed her neck. “Help me become yours… please.”

Her pleas and choice of words hit me like a rock and I groaned passionately. My palms grabbed her thighs and I hoisted her upward, wrapping her legs around my lower torso. Her back was still supported by the tree and my hands traveled to her face.

Holding both sides of her face, I declared with a deep low voice, “You are already mine, Rose… and I will help you realize that sooner than you expect.”

Rose whimpered due to the intensity of my gaze and also because I let her see how much I desire her. There must be a flame in my eyes. A deep prominent flame that expressed my burning desire.

I added confidently, “You were made to be mine–” Though was no proof but I could feel it.

Her hands circled my neck tightly… in a possessive manner and I close the distance between our lips again while my hands moved lower to her thighs.

There was something about the atmosphere… Rose and I have had histories in some outdoor settings, surrounded by nature. It was obvious that we always found a way to connect in a natural environment.

I noted that as I found her tongue and let her kiss me back just as hard and passionately as I have kissed her.

Rose dominated the kiss and I let my hand slip into the band of her tight shorts which frustrated me by the way. I needed easy access but from the look of things, I wouldn't be getting that.

I wondered if anything would ever come easy between Rose and me…

Easy or hard, I would make sure no one snatch her from me. I was the Alpha king and I would get the woman I have been craving.

I gritted, “f*ck this short!” My patience was growing thin as I tore my lips from Rose’s to focus more on the unyielding shorts she had worn to train.

Rose muttered breathlessly, completely aroused and needy, “Rip it off me.”

Holy shit!

Her natural scent became musk with untamable desire and her voice carried her need as she commanded me to tear her shorts and take her right there in the woods.

But unfortunately for me, an annoying and familiar voice broke the heated trance that Rose’sand I have stepped into just to chase after our pleasure and wants. “Get a f*cking room!”

Adam…

My eyelids fell and squeezed tightly as I cursed my Beta under my breath. Rose’s head fell into my shoulder dimple as she hid her red face while I turned my gaze to my Beta to burn him o the ground with my glare.

“Even if you are so passionate about f*cking outdoors, you should find a less cursed area. Not beside the f*cking cursed lake!” Adam barked, obviously, still mad at Rose yet still caring enough to worry about the spot we choose to mate.

But that didn't faze me. I connected to his mind and cursed him even more.

“You could have discreetly walked away, asshole!” I gritted through the mind link while Rose tried to slip off my body but I held her there between me and the tree.

Adam retorted, “But I chose not to… what other chance will I get to cock block you, Alpha King Josh–”

“You bastard!” I growled on behalf of the noticeable bulge that my groin has become.

“Plus I am genuinely worried you both will make my godbabies beside a cursed lake. Do better please.” Adam etched and stood feet away from Rose and me with no intention of leaving us alone.

D*mn, this crazy idiot.

Adam voiced for Rose’s ears, “I thought you will be sorry for following us and spying on us but I see you have dug your claws deep into my King’s skin.”

What? I couldn't believe my ears.

Was he still on about suspecting her and trying to make me see her as Alpha Richard’s spy?

Max barked in my mind, “I would really like to kiss that fool.”

Obviously, Max wasn't serious about killing Adam but I would honestly like to see my wolf beast dealing with Adam after this stunt.

“I wouldn't be here if you haven't lied about who he was coming to see with you.” Rose eventually stopped hiding her face and she stared directly at Adam. “Do you think I wanted to walk into my own death?”

“Spies walk into their deaths all the time, Rose and I still don’t trust you.” Adam hissed. “By the way, I love the color of jealousy on you, Rose. Suit you beautifully.”

I tried to make Adam stop, “That’s enough–”

But Rose interjected, speaking to Adam, “You are right not to trust me, Beta Adam. make sure you protect the Alpha king from me and I should thank you for making me realize that I have to hold on to him.”

Rose completely lost me and from the look on Adam’s face, he was equally lost as well. She said she have to hold on to me but she detached herself from me, stared deep into my dark eyes, and said, “I hope you will trust me at least and keep your promise to never let me go.”

Adam and I were speechless as Rose once again did the opposite of what she said. She didn't want me to let her go but she started walking away from me.

“Does that mean you have to chase her and hold her back?” Max chimed through the mind link but I didn't make a move to go after Rose.

I had something else in mind.

After she was feet away from Adam and me, Rose uttered loudly, “I am sorry for ruining your meeting. I hope you have fun arranging another, Beta Adam.”

Somehow, I could imagine Rose smiling after she said that even though her back was turned to Adam and me.

Max supported Rose, saying, “This will teach him to stop taunting, suspecting, and picking on her.”

After Rose walked out of sight, Adam blurted, “You are really just going to let her walk away like nothing happened? Without punishing her for trailing you?”

“Yes.” I answered and quickly added, “But I don’t plan on letting you go without punishing your ass.”

Adam countered, focusing on the first part of my answer, “I know you guys have some magnetic connection but still–” his eyes widened when his brain finally registered the other half of my answer. “What? Why will I be getting punished? She ruined the meeting and I will be the one to arrange another one. Isn't that enough punishment?”

Adam added, “Especially for somehow that didn't do anything wrong? I am the one suffering while she walks away like your f*cking queen.”

“And she is my f*cking queen, Adam!” I barked and took threatening steps toward my Beta. “At least I was this close to completing another important process of making her my Queen until you decided to be a barrier.”

Adam stuttered, finally understanding why I was pissed. His eyes found the aching bulge in my pant and he swallowed hard.

“You could have walked away, Adam, and let me do my thing.” I hissed, lamenting about how he had taken my chance away from me. “Do you know how long I have been waiting for this kind of day? And you stole that from me.”

“How many more days do I have to wait?” I voiced. “Do you see why you have to be punished?”

I wouldn't kill him but I would break his d*mn bones or dunk him in the lake he feared so much.

As if Adam could read my mind, he bolted and I chased after him with my erection wagging between my legs like a f*cking tail.
