The Delta's Daughter Chapter 10

KELLEN

Lamia stood up and walked over to the fridge grabbing a couple more beers. We followed suit and I propped myself up against the breakfast bar on the kitchenette side. She handed me a beer, and then Mike.

“Thanks, I’m going to go call my dad from my room, see what plans he wants to go over.” With a shrug of his shoulders accompanied by an eye roll, Mike sauntered to his door, entering and closing it behind him.

 I’m sure he will fill me in later. It was the Beta’s job to ensure the security of the pack grounds and people and, as Mike would be taking over from his dad when I was initiated as Alpha, he took his job very seriously. Despite him being a man-whore, he was the most honorable guy I have ever met. He is not just my Beta and best friend, he is my brother. I would trust him with my life as I would Lamia.

Lamia was bent over looking in our small fridge, her ass wiggling, teasing me, as she moved things around, looking for food that was not there. Why was I so tempted? Why all of a sudden? When did it start? The most important question I had for myself: why don’t I want to stop feeling like this?

I was excited, she excited me.

“I’m hungry,” she sighed.

Her perfectly heart-shaped ass was calling to me, to grab it, squeeze it, smack it. I pulled myself from the counter and took a step towards her when she suddenly stood up and turned around.

“Maybe we should order Piz…..” Her words trailed off, her emerald green eyes growing big and her lips parting ever so slightly, releasing a small gasp as she realized our close proximity.

“Kel, what are you doing?” She softly but firmly asked while taking a step back and looking me in the eyes.

She was the only one, aside from the King and Queen, who could hold eye contact with me before having to cast their own down, allowing me to look deep into her eyes. Her emerald green's had darkened, reminding me of the forest back home.

I didn’t respond. I saw her lips move but I heard nothing of what she said. I didn’t even realize I had taken a step forward, until she stepped back again, and I stepped forward until she was against the small counter bracing her hands against it, leaving herself open.

I was only a foot away from her. I took this as an invitation. Lamia never leaves herself open. I leaned in and put my hands on either side of the counter, caging her in. Bringing only our faces closer, so close.

“Kel, you…. You’re so close.” She breathlessly whispered.

I could feel her breath fan my face. My wolf was pushing forward wanting a taste of her, just one tiny taste of those sweet plump lips. Did they taste the same as her brown sugar and vanilla sent? Licking my bottom lip, I leant forward, bending my head towards the crook of her neck, closing my eyes, I took in her alluring scent.

Always smelling like warm brown sugar and a hint of vanilla. I breathed in as deep as I could, filling my senses with her sweetness. It had become stronger in the past few weeks, intoxicating, overwhelming, and pulling me to her.

I opened my eyes, roaming her face until I settled on her own now, deep shades of evergreen eyes. She wanted this to. I could see it in her eyes.

She was curious, she too would say this was wrong, but she wanted to know.

She parted her lips and licked them. My wolf zeroed in on that small movement causing him to growl, he wanted to taste those juicy lips as much as I did in that moment. And nothing was going to stop us. Tingles started to erupt all over my body. Just the thought of kissing her sent my hormones into a flurry. I ached to touch her. Just a small taste, that’s all we wanted.

“Kel… What…” I didn’t let her finish. I leant in closer and brushed my lips against hers.

Ever so softly my mouth moved against hers, it was intoxicating, so much so that my body started to shake, whether it was in fear of losing control or because of nerves, I didn’t know and I didn’t care. I savagely pressed my lips harder against her. She let out a small gasp, allowing me to slip my tongue into her mouth. Just as I thought she would taste, brown sugar and vanilla. Everything that’s sweet but everything bad for you.

This was wrong, we were like siblings, but it felt so good, so naughty. How could something so wrong feel this powerful? As her tongue swept across mine and she let out another small moan of pleasure enjoying the passionate and deep kiss we were sharing, I stepped into her so our bodies were closer. Her breathing was heavy, her perky and full breasts rising and falling with each deep intake of air. One little taste wasn’t going to do it anymore. She was a drug and I wanted, needed more.

My hands moved from the counter, one came up and cupped her neck, the other on her hip and I pulled her into me, leaving no space between us. I tilted her head back, even though she was tall for a she wolf, Lamia only came up to my shoulders . I tilted her head back, driving my tongue into her mouth, groaning as her body melted against mine, her arms circled around my neck. We were both hungry now, neither of us getting enough. The kiss, no longer soft and enticing, now it was deeper and desperate as our mouths fought for dominance. Time stood still, but in reality it was only a short minute or two.

‘Ours.’ Conri cooed in my head.

‘Ours,’ I agreed.

I knew it couldn’t go any further than the kiss, but I wasn’t the one to break away.

“Kel… This is wrong.” It was a mere whisper against my lips. The instant she removed her arms from my neck, I felt empty and cold. Already missing the shivers and excitement she sent through my body.

“I… I should go.” She stuttered. Her eyes were full of lust and longing, but her flushed face held a look of confusion and maybe, pain? Her contradicting emotions caused me to let go of her and step back. She moved around me and headed for the door.

“Lamia...” I called out, reaching for her hand. She pulled away from me and when she reached the door, she paused, looking back at me.

“I don’t know…, I need…. Time.” Her gaze was cast towards the floor, refusing to meet mine for the first time! I sighed and watched her open the door and quietly close it behind her.

I stood there for a good few minutes, just staring at the door Lamia had walked out of. Slowly a shit, eating grin formed on my face.

Fuck, I thought. I just kissed Lamia and it was amazing! I couldn’t wait to do it again. I adjusted my jeans that were pretty tight around the groin area. That is what she did to me.

“Hey, where did Lam’s go?” Mike sounded disappointed as he peered around the room like she was going to magically appear, bringing me out of my haze.

“What?” I absently asked. I shook my head in an effort to bring myself back down from the clouds.

“Where did Lam’s go?” he repeated. It took me a minute to answer him; I didn’t want to tell him because I know he has feelings for her too. Shit, this was messed up.

“She left. Said she had shit to do”

“Oh” he sighed, disappointed.

I wondered if I should tell him. I mean it was pretty shitty of me to go behind his back like that, he was my best friend. I had noticed Mike seemed to have backed off from Lamia more lately. It started when she was at death's door in the hospital, when I went crazy and wouldn’t leave her side.

That’s when I also noticed my feelings grew for her. Not change, but grow and develop, becoming something more than friends or the sister I always thought she was. I had a feeling the night I broke up her and Mike, but I still wasn’t sure. I’m still not, but I know I want to kiss her again.

“Oh well that sucks, I was going to ask if everyone wanted to hang in the rec room? Play some pool?”

“Yah, yah, sure.” I replied.

“You ok bro?” he asked coming up to me and laying a hand on my shoulder.

“All good. I think just a little stressed about these attacks.” I lie, not meeting his eyes. “Why don’t you gather everyone and I’ll meet you down there in a bit.” I needed a minute or two to collect my thoughts. I was still replaying the kiss in my mind, her lingering taste still on my lips.

“ OK, I will see you soon. You sure you’re OK? You kind of look out of it.” I nodded my head at him and waved him off as I headed to my room.

I heard the latch and knew Mike had left the suite.

*****

LAMIA

I flopped on my bed, my cheeks still feeling flushed. My fingers brushed my lips, which were still tingling from the kiss.

“Holy shit!” I cried out loud.

It was the most sensual kiss I had ever had. When his lips first brushed against mine, I froze, but when I gasped in surprise (and believe me, I was definitely surprised!) and Kellen’s tongue slipped in, It felt like the most natural thing in the world. As he deepened the kiss, I felt my body melt against him, needing to be closer, and a heat had travelled against my bare arms as they circled his neck.

As much as I didn’t want to, I broke away from Kellen. I felt guilty. It wasn’t that long ago I had had my arms wrapped around Mike. Now Kellen? Jeez, what was with these boys? I had regretted leaving as soon as I had made it back to my room.

Suddenly a thought crossed my mind; it was Mike’s birthday on Sunday, and he would turn 18 and would be able to find his mate!

Maybe I thought about this because of the guilt I felt, but Mike and I had had no other interaction since that first time and, at least from me, I hadn’t felt a pull towards him. I hadn’t even lusted after him, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t check him out though. What’s not to like about him? Tall, beefy and devilishly handsome. Not to mention fun and witty.

I decided I needed to do something big and fun for Mike for his birthday and I needed to rope in my other best friend, Kel. I also needed not to keep Kellen hanging. 

I had no idea how this would work between us. I had no idea if this was a thing between us or if it was just something in the heat of the moment. Something was changing and it scared me a little, not knowing when or where these changes in feelings for Kellen had occurred, but I truly wanted to give it a chance.

My wolf was apprehensive about my train of thoughts. She didn’t want us to get hurt, but she was just as hormonal as me and lately, when we were near Kellen she would get giddy and pace, only calming when he was holding our hand. Personally, I thought the change had come the night he broke Mike and I apart, my wolf loving the idea that Kellen and his wolf didn’t want anyone touching us and his jealousy had reared its ugly head.

No matter what Kel said, I had seen the look in his eyes that night. Hurt, pain, jealously and rage. Pure rage aimed towards his other best friend. Thank Goddess I was able to pull them apart or who knows how far the fight would have gone!

*Kel, where are you* I probed through our mind link.

*In my room* His reply sounded excited.

* What are you doing? And where is everyone, specifically Mike?*

*I was going to head down to the rec room and meet him there, why?*

His voice sounded excited with a hint of jealousy. I can understand why. I had just walked out on him after that sexy ass kiss we shared; now I was asking about his best friend. I was feeling a little apprehensive, myself.

*Good. Meet me by the dining hall. By yourself, we need to go see Wilson. I have a plan.*

I cut the mind link off. One, we needed to plan something for Mike's birthday. He was our best friend but we were essentially on lock down, so we couldn’t host a party at the mansion or anywhere else off sight.

Two, the royal guard would be here on Sunday or Monday to escort us back home. Three, well I wanted to be with Kellen.

I wanted to tell him as much as I was confused about what was going on with us, I wanted to see where it led to.

We would be 18 in a couple of months and my wolf had already said he was ours. Our bond had evolved and grown in ways that made me crave him like never before and I wasn’t afraid. I wanted to explore this, whether we were true mates or not. It’s like this was the next step in our relationship and bond and it felt natural.
