Chapter 5: Some shopping is in order
Aylin was sulking at this point, miffed at the fact that a man could refer to her mate with such an affectionate tone, yet she was supposed to be the only one. And what the hell was with Scarlett's fond smile at the end? That was supposed to be a luxury that was reserved for her only! She already did not like this Jack guy.
She huffed, crossing her arms, an action that did not go unnoticed by Nox, who glanced down at her momentarily before focusing on the road again.
"Are you alright, sweetheart?" Scarlett asked her, and Aylin smiled, her anger forgotten, as she flushed slightly at the term of endearment. Nox noticed the shift in mood from her mate, connecting the dots and realising what the earlier foul mood was about.
"Was this about Jack, sweetheart?" Nox said, chuckling when Aylin flinched and pouted in response.
Nox glanced down at her, giving Aylin a quick peck on her lips, before focusing on the road once more. Aylin's heart was in overdrive, the myriad of sparks that passed between them in that instant sending shivers down both of their spines.
"What was that for?" She asked, glancing up at Scarlett, whose eyes seemed a dark violet, as compared to the usual bright violet eyes. She gulped subconsciously, the action watched keenly by Nox.
"Pout like that again and you'll find out," She said, her voice low and sultry in a way that left Aylin mesmerized. Her Alpha was way too tempting!
Unfortunately for both of them, they had already arrived at the mall. After parking the car in the underground parking lot, Nox skilfully stepped out of the car with Aylin still in her arms, fully prepared to carry her into the mall.
She locked the car, and, despite her hesitation at the action, put Aylin down, grabbing her hand instead. They walked to the elevator, hand in hand. The atmosphere between them was tranquil, but there was a hint. A hint of something that couldn't be described, a subtle force that filled Nox with the urge to pin the adorable omega against the wall and kiss her till Aylin lost the strength in her legs.
Unbeknownst to her, Aylin wanted nothing more than to be at the alpha's mercy. However, she forced herself to focus on anything else except the lewd thoughts dancing around her mind. It was then that she noticed the height difference between them. Now, Aylin was not short in any way, standing at a good 5'10, a generous height for omegas, who usually stood at 5'5 or5'6. Funnily enough, she still looked small when compared to her mate, who was a good at least six inches taller than she was, meaning she was around 6'3, possibly more.
Looking up at her mate once more as the elevator stopped on the third floor, she was willing to bet that it was more that what she guessed. She was about to ask, when the elevator stopped, prompting her to forget the question in favour of exploring her surroundings.
__________________________
Looking at her mate's eyes sparkling with curiosity at all the fancy clothing stores and jewellery shops around them, a small smile graced Nox's face.
She was well aware that she wasn't supposed to be this carefree in public, given her large influence in the business world, but her mate was more important.
She needed to overwrite all the memories that that Damien guy made, and thankfully, her mate seemed to be attracted to her, at the very least, which was a good start. Nox walked leisurely, sticking to a pace that Aylin was easily able to follow.
Aylin stared in awe at a mannequin in the window display at a particular shop, thinking that the outfit would suit the alpha immensely.
"Hey, that looks like it'd look really good on you." She said, looking up at Scarlett.
Nox glanced down at her mate before throwing an indifferent glance at the outfit in the window.
It was a black turtleneck, paired with black leggings, matching combat boots, a long whiskey brown trench coat and dark cream scarf. It was in her taste, but she already had the exact outfit, as well as fedoras in each of the outfits colours.
"Thanks sweetheart but I already have it. Also, this trip is for you, not me." She chucked, amused at Aylin's pouty look and annoyed huff.
She reached down to Aylin's face, placing her hand on her mate's cheek, running a thumb over her pouting lips. She smirked in satisfaction when Aylin's breath hitched in response, her emerald eyes darkening, exposing the lust that was building in her mate.
"What did I say about pouting your lips?" Nox spoke, her voice low and sultry, sinfully hypnotizing, only serving to heighten the desire pooling in Aylin's eyes. Aylin swallowed hard, realising that they must hurry and shop, or this effortlessly seductive alpha may just distract her for good.
With a tenuous effort, she managed to break out of her mate's grip, the effort exerted due to breaking out of the alpha's stare, the dark violet eyes having rooted her in place and given her an overwhelming desire to see just how dark they could get.
She cleared her throat, her cheeks flushed as she tried to calm her raging desire. After a minute of calming herself, she was finally able to speak calmly, or so she thought.
"Let's... Let's do that shopping then." She said, inwardly cursing at how shaky and breathless her voice sounded. 'Come on Aylin! Pull yourself together! If this is how you act to a mere touch, will you faint if she kisses you?' She chided herself, her inner monologue interrupted by the alpha before her.
"Do you want to find out?" Scarlett asked, the question confusing Aylin for a second. She then realised that she may have projected her thoughts to the alpha through their mate bond unconsciously.
She stared at Scarlett in awe, lust temporarily forgotten as she began to bounce on the balls of her feet in excitement. She had no idea when the telepathic link had formed, but this was unprecedented, as mates usually took some time to form the link. The other rare cases often happened after injury of one mate or a life-threatening situation.
Nox could feel her mate's excitement through their link, not that she needed to since her mate bounced happily beside her. It was only after Nox reminded her mate about their objective that actual shopping could begin.
They walked through the mall, taking their time to get Aylin good outfits that enhanced her fairy-like appearance, while not showing more than was necessary.
In Nox's opinion though, she was conflicted in showing Aylin's beauty to the world as she wanted to lock her up for her view only. At the same time, she wanted to brag that the fairy-like beauty was hers and hers alone.
Aylin was completely oblivious to her mate's turmoil, instead basking in all the attention the alpha was showing her.
Aylin's wolf, Aruna, preened, strutting and showing off her silky, charcoal grey fur, howling in delight when Scarlett's wolf, who she now knew was called Nier, licked her cheek, nuzzling her as a reward for presenting her beauty.
Aylin flushed, the antics of her alpha's wolf in their mind link flustering her. Scarlett grabbed her hand, pulling her away from her thoughts as they walked back to the parking lot, all of her purchases effortlessly carried in one hand by the alpha.
As they stepped back into the elevator, Aylin felt her heart begin to race, her breathing becoming shallow as she became acutely aware of the alpha beside her. The air between them seemed to sizzle with something deeper, a desire that was singing just under their skin. If Scarlett noticed anything, she said nothing, to Aylin's relief.
By the time they reached the car, Aylin was a little calmer, and Scarlett packed the bags in the boot after opening the door for Aylin to enter the car.
When Scarlett entered the car, she sped out of the parking lot, taking full advantage of the clear streets to speed, all while silent. There was a tension between them, one that hung heavy, like a promise. Aylin used the telepathic link that had formed between them to see what was up with Scarlett, but the images that flowed into her mind nearly made her moan in anticipation.
However, she knew that if she did, Scarlett was capable of pulling the car over and ravishing her right there. The thought made her thighs rub together, a wetness pooling at the apex.
It took all of Aylin's self-control to avoid releasing her pheromones in the car. The action was rendered void, since Nox could clearly smell her mate's arousal.
The thought of ravishing her mate consumed her and she sped up, trying to get to her hotel room as soon as possible. She may have been nearly driven mad with lust, but she had decorum, and thus would only make sure that their first kiss would be in a decent place, at the very least.
They pulled up at the hotel and Nox stopped the car, getting out and opening the door for Aylin. She grabbed the bags from the car and placed them all on one arm, tossing the Valet the key fob before grabbing her mate's hand.
______________________
In no time at all, they were in Scarlett's suite in the hotel room. Aylin did not even get a chance to look around and admire the suite. The second they stepped foot in the room, Scarlett slammed her against the door, dropping the bags and capturing her lips in a fierce, searing kiss. Aylin kissed back, doing her best to match her alpha's ferocity.
Nox kissed her omega with a raging hunger, savouring the feel of those incredibly soft, plump lips that moved shyly but excitedly against her own. The sweet little moans she elicited from her mate conspired to drive her insane. She wrapped her arms around Aylin's waist, pulling her so that she was flush against Nox's body, a surprised gasp from the omega's lips giving the perfect opportunity for Nox's tongue to explore the hot, wet cavern.
Their tongues danced together, Nox's tongue taking the opportunity to thoroughly explore Aylin's mouth.
She licked at the roof of Aylin's mouth and Aylin's knees buckled, her mate's arms being the only thing keeping her standing. Scarlett broke their kiss for air, sliding her hands past Aylin's waist and grabbing the underside of the omega's thighs, lifting her with ease as Aylin wrapped her legs around Scarlett's waist.
Scarlett dipped her head down to Aylin's neck, pressing a small kiss there. The action caused Aylin to shudder, pressing her body against her mate as her pheromones exploded, seeping into the air at a rapid pace.
The scent intoxicated Nox and she could feel her wolf excitedly preparing to penetrate their mate and fill her womb with their pups. Aylin mewled, her alpha's desire filtering to her through their mate bond, heightening her arousal and sensitising her skin so that every touch, every caress, every kiss, portrayed the primal need her alpha had for her.
Scarlett kissed Aylin's neck, stopping her advances once she arrived at Aylin's scent gland. The alpha pulled away, looking at Aylin before speaking.
"May I?" Scarlett asked, refering to the scent gland. It was an incredibly intimate and pleasurable part of a wolf, as it was where pheromones were produced, and where a werewolf mate would mark to show their union.
Aylin could clearly see the dark violet eyes gazing at her, her alpha's arousal evident, yet her mate still pulled away to ask for her consent. She felt a warmth pool in her stomach that made her giddy, and she responded by leaning forward in her mate's arms and kissing the alpha's scent gland.
The alpha froze, the shock only registering on her face for a second before she felt what could only be described as an intense, electric feeling of euphoria, that spread through the gland, causing Scarlett to shudder , nibbling on her mate's scent gland with a groan.
Aylin let out a high pitched whine, rubbing against her mate as she came from the sensation, her vision completely white, toes curling as the pleasure whipped through her body in large waves that left her lightheaded.
She collapsed against Scarlett, and the alpha stroked her hair gently, walking with Aylin in her arms and heading to the bathroom to clean her up.
Aylin was still in a daze, even as Nox cleaned her up and dressed her in a pajama top, since her pants were too long to fit the omega.
She gently placed Aylin in the bed before going back to the door to get the bags that were dropped in the heat of the moment. After arranging them at the foot of the wardrobe, Nox turned out the lights, re entering the bed and grabbing Aylin's waist, pulling her till their bodies were flush against each other.
Aylin hummed in contentment, snuggling close to her Alpha, who kissed her forehead, making her giggle.
"Do you have anything planned for tomorrow?" She asked Scarlett, who shook her head before speaking.
"I'm done with what I came here to do already, so I have no plans except the dinner. Although, doing nothing seems more interesting when I factor you in." She said, making Aylin's cheeks flush in embarrassment.
"Then let's explore the hotel before that dinner then." Aylin said, ending the conversation.
Nox hummed in response, amused at her mate's jealousy for her already mated best friend. She stroked Aylin's hair, lulling the omega into a her slumber, remaining awake to watch Aylin sleep before sleeping herself.
The new day would bring it's own complications, and for now she was just content to have her mate with her.
