Page 84 of Finding the Forward: Part One
Whatever it was, I liked it.
While some people might bristle at being calledlittle alpha,I didn’t mind. Because compared to them, I was.
Also, something about Jonas addingmyto his usuallittle alphadid things to my lady parts. Things they rarely did around alphas.
“How do you even find baby cows? Do you have some southern girl group chat, where you trade pie recipes, ask what to wear to the cookout, and suggest places to bury the bodies?” he asked. “The cow farm belongs to someone’s cousin’s mate’s brother.”
“Someone’s mate’s parents, actually,” I replied, hiding a smile. Right, he’d lived in my home state for awhile when he played for the Lightning Bugs.
Jonas gave me a look, a single pierced eyebrow rising.
I shrugged. What happened in the group chat stayed in the group chat. Okay, it was mostly memes and selfies.
“Your tattoos are gorgeous. It tells a story, doesn’t it?” I changed the subject. The elaborate arm piece had many components, including a fairy and a beanstalk.
“Some of them do. One day, if you’re good, I’ll tell you.” His smirk returned.
“Hey, want to sit with Grif for a bit?” Dean leaned across Grif. “Later, I’d like to sit with you. Hoping for a shutout game again. The rolls were so good. What do I have to do to get more bread?” He gave me a saucy wink.
I laughed. “Just ask.”
Next, I planned to tackle sourdough, since that was Dean’s favorite.
“I’ll move. Though I do have a paper to work on,” I told them. It would be nice to snuggle with Grif for a little while.
Jonas pulled me toward him so our eyes met. His gaze held mine in a way only a dominant alpha could. He wasn’t demanding my submission, but he wanted my attention. Something about the predatory look in his amber eyes sent shivers up my spine, not out of fear, but because Ilikedit.
That pierced tongue flickered.
What would it feel like to be kissed by Jonas and his pierced tongue?
I’d probably never know. But oh he was a sexy beast.
“Little Alpha, next time you want to play with my omega, give me the courtesy of asking me to watch. It doesn’t matter if Grif’s there. I might not take it, but I get an invitation. This is non-negotiable until I tell you otherwise. Understood?” His voice lowered to an almost whisper, yet still teemed with alpha authority.
I inhaled sharply. He knew about my little video-chat blowjob session? But I hardly expected Dean to keep it a secret.
The idea of Jonas watching me with Grif and Dean made me rub my thighs together. I wasn’t averse to being watched.
For an alpha to watch me please his omega? That could beincrediblysexy.
I nodded, keeping eye contact, a smile spreading across my face. “As you wish, Alpha Jonas.”
Chapter Twenty-Six
Jonas
The team shared a special pre-game meal at a restaurant in Glitter City owned by some retired Knights. It was a city known for food, shows, and gambling. The desert city of decadence, originally named for its glitter factories. While I wasn’t a fan of the city, much of the team was.
I’d been texting AJ. We’d tried to get him to come out with us, but since he’d had yesterday off, he thought work would be too busy. Pity. Grif loved it when AJ attended his games.
“Are you doing okay?” I asked Dean as he dug into his food from the sumptuous buffet. His whining for Verity concerned me. He was getting attached.
“I’m excited. I’m going to play a shutout game tonight.” He took a bite of salmon covered in a delicate sauce. “Think we’re at the same hotel? I want my reward in person.”
“That’s not what I was talking about,” I murmured, fingertips grazing his shoulder.
Dean smirked. “I know. Are you two okay now?”
