Contractually Yours Alpha (Riley)

Chapter Forty One

I must have blacked out at some point, because I was back in our room and I didn't recall walking my way here.

I felt numb down there; I was sore too, and I wasn't alone. Axel sat there, staring at me. I looked away almost immediately, I was finally clear of the high I felt and now I was totally red, and my mind wouldn't stop replaying all that had happened-how he had touched me

everywhere.

"How are you feeling?" he asked, his eyes never leaving mine.

"I'm fine-well, not fine considering I can't walk-but..." I rambled on.

His chuckle gave me a pause, and I swallowed nervously. Could the earth just swallow me already?

"T guess you are still surprised." he questioned. Surprise was not quite the word.

"It did feel surreal," I admitted. "Please don't tell me to look you in the eyes; I can't handle that now," I admitted, knowing he was about to say that. Axel loved seeing me embarrassed.

"It was a surreal moment for me too," Axel says.

"Is this normal? I mean you two..." I couldn't say the rest. I always knew there was something. Thane had told me that he could let me off with Axel, but I had thought he was only trying to test me, but the last encounter was something else. "Do

you mean to ask if we always fucked the same girl?" he asked

"Yeah?" I replied, still avoiding his eyes.

"Sometimes. But it is different with others," he says, but I committed it to memory that they did have sex with the same girl.

"What makes it different?"

"I can't hurt you; Thane would kill me," he admitted.noveldrama

"I just have this feeling that everything would change between us, and I'll never be able to forget it."

"Riley, why it was fun? That's all it was; you might not forget, but don't let it come between. us. You belong to Thane."

"Just fun?"

"Yes"

"I've never seen you with any shewolves," I said to him. I had wanted to ask him about his

mate and about Thane's mate too.

"I don't have a mate," Axel answered, and I know that was all he was going to let out.

I didn't understand his statement, don't all werewolves have a mate?, but I was quick to move on knowing he wasn't going to say more.

"What are we?" I asked. I was mated to Thane, but Axel, the things we did weren't what friends do.

"Riley, I care about you, and I liked having sex with you,

but you belong to Thane."

"You did not answer my question," I responded. I knew I did care for Axel, but in a way I would a close friend, yet I wanted to know how he felt.

"I could be anything-a friend, a brother..." He paused, staring at me. "Okay, maybe not a brother."

I laughed at that.

"Those balls you used..." I paused; I couldn't imagine I was asking about it. "What are they?"

A smirk pulled up on Axel's lips-the very same type I just didn't want to see.

"Kegel balls. They are quite interesting to use, and I bet you enjoyed the feeling of having them stuck,"

"Forget I asked," I said, burying my face in the pillow.

"I gifted them to Thane; you seem to enjoy them Axel said, enjoying my embarrassing

moment.

I didn't think Axel would give an answer to the question I was about to ask, but that didn't stop me from asking.

"Axel?"

"What?"

"Could you tell me something?

"It depends on the question asked, and from the look on your face, it must be a question I am prohibited from answering."

"I just want to know. Thane has done a lot for me and my mother, but... I can't seem to understand what he is getting out of this." "You will find out soon enough," he says.
