Page 54 of Alpha Reid

I tighten my fist around the thumb drive, feeling physically ill as the reality of her betrayal sinks in. I wanted a life with her. A future. I’m a goddamn fool.

I hear her footsteps on the stairs, my blood still boiling in my veins. As her steps get closer, I lift my head to see her peek her head in the doorway of her room.

She’s smiling. Actually fuckingsmiling. As if she isn’t a double crosser.

Her smile fades as I shoot daggers at her through my eyes, her own traveling down to my hand as I open it to reveal the thumb drive.

She freezes.

Serena’s panicked eyes fly up to collide with mine, her jaw going slack. “I…” she stammers, clearly searching for the words to explain herself. “I was just coming up here to tell you…”

“Is that so?” I growl, narrowing my gaze on her.

She takes a step into the doorway. “Reid, please, let me explain…” her voice is strained, like her throat’s tight.

I shoot to my feet, shaking my head. “I can’t even fucking look at you right now.”

I drop my gaze to the floor and stalk toward where she’s standing in the doorway, and when I reach her and make the mistake of looking up, what I see in her eyes fucking guts me. It’s like she’s breaking right in front of me. Inside, my wolf howls in agony, but I shove him back, shouldering past Serena through the doorway.

“Reid, wait!” she calls after me desperately as I storm down the hall toward the stairs. I don’t turn back. I descend the stairs two and a time, heading for my office, ignoring her pleas as she scrambles behind to keep up.

“Just let me explain!” she begs, but I have no interest in her explanation. As if I could trust a word she says. She only wants to explain now because she’s caught. Where was her explanation before, when I gave her so many opportunities to come clean?

“Please!”

She’s right on my heels as I storm into my office, and I’m halfway around the desk when I whip around to face her, steam practically coming out of my ears.

“Why, Serena?” I demand, taking a step toward her and getting in her face. “Why should I give you the chance to explainnow, after the damage has been done? You’ve had plenty of chances to come clean, and you didn’t.”

“I know, but…”

I take another step toward her, backing her into my desk. “Tell me, was that your plan all along? To come here and seduce me so you could take down the six-pack from the inside?”

She leans back on her palms as I crowd her against the desk. “No, of course not…”

“Then why’d you do it?” I growl, wrapping a hand around her throat and getting right in her face as I spew my venom down on her. “If it wasn’t part of your plan, then was fucking with my heart just something you decided to do for fun on the side?”

Her hands reach out to push back against my chest, but I don’t give her an inch of space.

“No,” she breathes, her wide eyes pinned to mine. “I didn’t plan for this, Reid, I didn’t know I’d meet you, or that we’d be mates, or that I’d start falling…”

“You’re a fucking liar,” I spit, cutting her off. I lean in closer, staring into her eyes menacingly as I tighten my grip on her throat.

“I’m not, I…”

I crush my lips against hers, not wanting to hear another traitorous word leave them. I don’t even know why I do it- because I’m a fucking idiot? Because even when faced with concrete evidence of Serena’s betrayal, there’s something about her that’s still irresistible to me? Maybe it’s because I know this means it’s over, and I can’t walk away without one more taste. Whatever the reason, Serena immediately submits to my advances, her body melting against mine, her lips parting for me.

My tongue plunders her mouth, tangling with hers as her fingernails claw at the front of my shirt. A button pops off and goes pinging off of the desk, then another flings toward the wall. I shove my own hands up under Serena’s shirt, covering her tits and squeezing them roughly as I kiss her harder, bruising her lips with the urgency of it.

I hate how right it feels, to kiss her like this. Hate how good she tastes and how soft her skin is underneath my palms. I hate her for giving me a glimpse of what happiness could be like, then ripping it away with her betrayal.

I break the kiss without warning, grabbing Serena by the waist roughly and spinning her to face away from me. I press a hand to her back firmly, bending her over the desk, yanking down her leggings with my other hand as a growl tears from my throat. She whimpers, arching her back and wiggling her round ass for me as I quickly unbuckle my belt, shoving my pants and boxers down. My cock springs free, rock hard as it bobs in front of me and I wrap a hand around my girth, giving it a lazy stroke.

Serena starts to push up on her forearms and turn back to look at me, but I quickly press my other hand to the nape of her neck, shoving her back down so her cheek is pressed against the desk. Then I line my cock up with her slick entrance and thrust inside in a single, punishing stroke that elicits a choked gasp from her plush lips. A groan falls from my own as I relish in the feeling of being inside of her- as before, her pussy feels incredible around my cock, her warm walls squeezing it like a velvet glove. I move both hands to her hips and pull out halfway, then thrust in hard again, a breathy moan slipping past Serena’s lips as I bury my cock to the hilt.

I start pumping in and out of her, gripping her hips roughly and shoving her forward on the desk with every hard, deep thrust. Serena moans and writhes beneath me, her pussy slick with arousal as she takes every ounce of frustration that I fuck into her. I raise a hand, bringing it down hard on her ass cheek and she jerks against the desk with an excited whimper. I watch a red handprint bloom on her unblemished skin as I continue thrusting, cranking up to a brutal pace.

When I slap her other ass cheek even harder, Serena comes undone beneath me, crying out as her body trembles with her climax. Her internal walls squeeze around my dick and I can’t hold back- I bury myself deep inside and blow my load, her tight pussy milking every drop of cum out of me as I squeeze her hips, groaning in satisfaction. My eyes slide closed on a sigh as a euphoric feeling of release washes over me, my head falling back, heart pounding.
