The Supreme Alpha

Author's note: This is from Zoe's point of view

- - -

"Luca…", I called breathily while staring at our palms that were pressing against each other above the surface of the river. "How can you feel the bond when you are not of age yet?"

"It started after the blood oath."

I realized something. "Is that why you ran away to London?"

"I wouldn't call it running away..."

"And how would you call it?", I interrupted him. 

He let out a long breath. "I'm sorry for bailing on you, Zoe. The bond was driving me crazy, and I feared that if I stay close to you, I will do something you won't like."

"And now you don't think you will do something I won't like?", I asked.

"I will never do something you won't like, Zoe. I was made to make you happy." His words sounded like a pledge, shaking my insides and turning me into emotional mush.

I smiled foolishly as the sparks from my palm shoot up my arm and then I felt it on my knees as our half-bent legs touched. When did we get this close? Did I move or was it Luca?

'You got this, girl!', Diana said. 'I will give you two lovebirds privacy…'

I didn't feel her anymore. She retracted at the back of my mind.

Luca and I were facing each other in the chilly river, but I didn't feel the coldness of the water because my body was on fire. I was never that nervous.

The sparks moved from my knees up my thighs, telling me that the distance between Luca and me reduced more as our legs touched underwater.

Luca took my hand that was against his and placed it on his shoulder.

His now free hand disappeared under the surface of the water, and a moment later I felt tips of his fingers dancing along the groove of my spine, igniting more of those delicious sparks that shoot directly toward my core.

"I loved you for a long time, Zoe.", Luca murmured, his voice filled with suppressed emotions. "Actually, I don't remember the time when I didn't love you. I was ready to keep those feelings hidden forever. Whenever I saw you with Ash, I told myself that I have no right to feel jealous or heartbroken. I was preparing myself for the moment when you will find your mate and leave me behind. But now that I know the Moon Goddess created us for each other, I promise to take good care of you, forever."

My vision blurred with tears, but I could still see the pain and sincerity in his gaze that was directed at me.

Luca loved me for a long time, and he didn't say a word. Since we were kids, Luca supported me without complaining or asking for credits, and then he listened to my ignorant love-stricken rambling about Ash. I had no idea how much I hurt him. I was such a fool.

Would anything change if he told me the truth? I will never find out the answer to that, but I also had a confession to make.

"I loved you for a long time, Luca. I twisted every affection into something that I feel for you because you are my brother. Whenever I felt jealousy because some girl was eyeing you, I thought that I am an overprotective sister. I am sorry that you suffered alone while I enjoyed in my ignorance."

"Don't worry about it, Zoe.", his apple-infused breath splashed against my lips. "We can't change the past. I am happy to know that going forward neither of us will be alone."

His arms tightened around me, pulling me closer and I gasped when I felt myself stuck completely against his firm chest that welcomed me with its warmth.

Was this wrong? Just a few minutes ago, I was convinced that Luca was my brother, yet now he was the only man I could think about. Apples. I really wanted to taste him.

How can this be wrong when it feels so right?

I have no idea which one of us closed that last fraction.

Luca's lips brushed against mine, and I shivered as the sparks of our bond overtook my senses.

Luca paused to gauge my reaction before pecking my lips again, and again, every time a bit longer and with more conviction until our lips glided against each other in slow sensual movements without parting.

I let out a shaky breath while clutching Luca's shoulders to steady myself.

I kissed Ash numerous times, but I was never this lost in a kiss.

My mind was spinning, and I was out of breath, and we didn't even use tongues yet.

I really wanted more, much more.

...

My arms connected behind Luca's neck, and I leaned into the kiss completely. My lower body glided closer to his and I wrapped my legs around his hips as I sat on his thighs.

Wherever we touched, it felt right. Better than right.

I was on fire.

Every cell in my body was rejoicing this intimacy that felt new yet familiar at the same time.

It was like I found myself.

I found where I'm supposed to be.

I found my home.

Luca was my home. He always was, but I failed to recognize it.

I admit, I was blind, but now that I could see the light, I had no intention of backing away from this.

I took Luca's lower lip between my teeth, and I sucked on it.

Luca's hands which were on my back moved, one higher until it disappeared into my hair, and the other one lower, stopping only when the tips of his fingers touched my behind. At the same time, Luca fisted my hair and applied pressure on my lower back, pulling me even closer to him, closing the last bits of the gap between us.

I felt his erection at the cradle of my thighs and my lips parted in a surprised gasp which Luca used to plunge his tongue into my mouth.

Apples. Apples everywhere. How can a man taste so good? I really wanted to eat him up.

The kiss was sloppy for a few seconds until our tongues stabilized in a steady rhythm.

We were both breathing heavily as our flavors mixed and my hands moved to explore the glorious landscape of Luca's back.

Mine. Mine. All that is mine.

Mine to kiss, mine to touch, mine to smell, mine to taste. MINE!

My hips moved on their own and I started grinding myself on Luca's shaft that was long and thick and hot, and the arousal muddled my mind completely.

My breathing became erratic as the pressure in my groin area increased and I moved with less reservation, every time a bit higher, and Luca froze when his tip got jabbed at my entrance.

"Zoe…", his voice was pained, and he gripped my hips to prevent me from moving. "Not here."

"What?", I asked breathily.

He twisted his body sideways slightly before lowering me to sit back on his thighs. "Not here."

"Why?" I couldn't believe that I asked this. Did I just ask him why we are not going all the way in this river? Yup, I did.

Luca bit his lips with so much force that I thought it will bleed.

"I read that the first time for a girl can be painful, and it needs to be well lubricated. The water is reducing lubrication. I want our first time to be wonderful for both of us. I don't want to cause you pain."

His rejection bothered me, but I was more bothered by my embarrassment.

"Thank you for thinking about my first time.", I said irritably, and I tried to move away from him.

Luca tightened his hold on me, preventing me from leaving. "OUR first time."

I was not sure if he meant what I thought he meant, so I wanted to clarify. "Are you saying that you never…?"

I know that he went multiple times for a guys' night out with Fynn, Ash, and others, and even though they didn't brag about their guys-only escapades, I overheard that their nights out included various women they would pick up in the clubs.

Luca gazed into my eyes with love and passion that made my insides turn into mush and I waited patiently for him to respond.

"You will be my first, Zoe."

My heart soared. "Really? You are not lying, are you?"

Luca frowned in disapproval of my words. "Why would I lie about this? Besides, I want you to be able to relax in mind and body and for that, we should wait for the DNA reports to come back. I want you to be absolutely certain we are not blood-related when I put my mark on you." He ended with a peck at the base of my neck, where his mark will go, and my whole body shuddered.

I couldn't believe that even with us naked sticking to each other, Luca was still considerate of me.

Luca knows me best.

Luca, my mate. 

He knew that I was lost in passion and I would go with it, but I would regret it in the morning when the doubts crash on me.

I was aware that if this were Ash, he would take advantage of the situation the moment we entered the water, or maybe even before that.

Ash was the lesson I had to learn in order to appreciate Luca more.

I grinned foolishly. "You are right, Luca. We are made for each other. You are everything I ever imagined a mate should be, and more."

I pecked his lips and I felt that he held back.

"Kiss me how only you can, Luca.", I demanded. "I agree that we don't go all the way, but I demand more kisses from my mate. I finally found you, hiding in plain sight, and I want to eat you up, starting with your lips."

Luca chuckled and then he gave me another kiss that made my mind spin. And another, and another, and I knew that it will never be enough.
