The Sigma Wolf

Chapter 35 -Temptation

Susie POV

The last couple of days have been a blur. We have worked our asses off, trying to be as detailed and as accurate as possible in our term paper for Mr. Costas´ class.

Working with Ajax has been a pleasant surprise. He is not only handsome but also determined, dedicated, smart, and very savvy. I am impressed by his skills. He is also a very unique leader. He listens to others, different from Alphas, who tend to override everyone. He includes the best of my ideas into the project and somehow makes everything flourish on another level.

Our days have been completely swamped with classes and the project while, keeping my promise, our nights have been a symphony of kisses, pampering, and cuddles. I still can't believe he has a genuine interest in me, and somehow, despite warning my treacherous heart about the pain we will endure when he finds his mate, my heart is adamant about embarking on a free fall for him. It has been too sudden and too fast to be able to brace myself for the end result. I was not ready nor prepared for any of this, and somehow, it happened spontaneously.

Nothing has been forced, every moment is a treasure of spontaneity, just being us together, and that was enough. We were enough.

Tonight is our last night before I leave for the weekend. He said that I should dress up, because he wanted to do something special. I wondered what he had in mind, and around four in the afternoon, after finally handing in our first term paper, I returned to my place to get ready. He said to dress up, so I decided to wear a cute black floral wrap around short dress. It was flowy and it showed a bit of my boobs. I looked good because the line of the dress hid my broad hips and butt, accentuating my boobs and narrow waist. I paired the dress with nude high heel pumps, the flower print had pastel colors, and the shoes worked to match the colorful accents.

I decided to leave my hair down. Usually, I curled the tips, but this time, I wanted to elongate my face and body, so I left it completely straight. I wore subtle makeup with a little bit of golden glow, and I was ready when I applied a peach-colored gloss that tied the entire look together.

“Damn, girl! Who are you and what did you do to my frumpy friend?” Diana joked and I rolled my eyes.

“A little effort didn´t go unnoticed…” I sighed and she laughed,

“Of course you have alwyas been beautiful, but this dress maes you look sexy and elegant all at once.” She said and I beamed,

“Do you think he will like it?” I asked abstenmindely straightning the skirt and fixing the cleavege of my garment.

“He will love it…” She said and I bit my lower lip.

“Don´t ruin the makeup…” She reprimanded me and I quickly untucked my lip. “So, it seems you are going oiut on a romantic date… are you ready to move up an your bases?” She ased and I shook my head,

“He knows I want to wait for my mate,” I blushed and she sighed,

“You don´t need to go all in, in order to have fun…” She wiggled her eyeborws and my cheeks turned crimson red.

“What do you mean?” I muttered and she sighed,

“Babe, before intercourse there are basis and a lot of foreplay. He can make you feel good without penetration, and you can reciprocate the same way…” Se paused, “You can have an amazing orgasm without loosing your V-card. She said and my mouth turned into an o-shaped expression.

“So far we have kissed and cuddled.” I onfessed and she nodded,

“But don´t you want him to touch you in other places?” She asked and I nodded. This conversation was embarrassing, but I rather have it with her than with Ajax. “Have you been craving his hands on your boobies, pinching your n*****s, kissing you there… or ebven more fuin… lower?” She asked and I looked down, about to cobust in embarrassment.

“So, there you go… you are ready for more, let him tech you… allow him to lead.. He already know you don´t want to lose your v.card, so he will pleassure your without going that far…” She suggested and my boidy suddely felt hot ad bothered.

“Susie!” Mags yelled. "Ajax is here!” she announced. I looked at Di mortified. I was all aroused by the ideas she had planted in my head, and he was already here, not giving me a fraction of time to compose myself.

“Coming!” I yelled and Diana laughed furiously aout my predicament.

“Let´s go, you´ll be fine… Gio must be already here…” she said and I rolled my eyes. She had it easy, she met Gio, he was her mate, and that was it… she was never in love with someone who has all the right signals but no bond with you.

I stepped out of my room and wlaked down the stairs. Ajax was a vision in dar blue jeans, and a black button down shirt. He was holding a flower bouquet in his hands. How cute, I could see him shifting from one foot to another awkwardly. He lifted his gaze and when his eyes landed on mine, his dashing smile almost made me lose my footing. He took a step forward and climbed the last three steps extending his hand like prince chamring, and helping me descend the steps.

“Here, I brought this for you…” He said blushing, and I smiled tenderly, this were the first flowers I had gotted from a guy, and not just any guy, this were from Ajax.

“Thanks. Let me put them in water, and then we can leave,” I said, and he nodded. He followed me to the kitchen, where I carefully opened the wrapping and placed the assortment of roses inside iced water.

He scratched the back of his head “I didn´t know which ones you liked so I brought you all…” He confessed and I nodded.

“They are lovely,” I said, noticing that the bouquet had every color of rose but yellow. I smiled because he had gifted me all the feelings available but hate. It was a very meaningful bouquet, and I loved it.

“I like all of them, and I loved the way you thought of every color…” I said and he nodded.

“I just couldn´t decide because that's how you make me feel… my entire life turned colorful as soon as you were in it… " he confessed, and I sighed.

“Aren´t you a charmer?” I smiled, and he nodded,

“Just for you,” He winked and offered me his arm as we made our way out of the penthouse.

He opened the passenger door and we drove comfortably around town. He stopped outside a fancy restaurant and helped me out of the car. “This place has been booked since forever, how did you manage to get a reservation here?” I asked and he sighed,

“I've got my connections…” he said, and I nodded. The restaurant was owned by the Prince himself, and many people fought to eat there, hoping to see him.

We made our way to a private room, and when we were seated he sighed. I didn't realize but he was tense when we walked in. Maybe he was not sure our reservation was properly made, or maybe… he was embarrassed to be seen with me. Somehow, my mind always took me there, and I fought hard to get rid of the pestering thought.

Dinner was amazing, and Ajax was his charming self. We left the restaurant through a private door where his car was waiting for us. We made our way back to our building and when it was time, instead of stopping outside my door, he led the way, to his place. It was an understanding that tonight was our last night together before my trip to my pack.

As soon as the door closed behind him, his lips crashed in mine. Diana´s advice rang clear and loud in my head, I trembled and hesitated, wondering if my conscience would allow me to give into temptation.
