The Alpha’s Touch 🌶️

Quinn

~I was standing in a field. A vast expanse of grass stretched out around me. The sun and the moon shared the sky—day and night at the same time. Stars and galaxies spun overhead, and the northern lights painted the heavens.~

~I was spellbound.~

~I’d never seen anything like this...it was magical.~

~“Quinn,” a voice I recognized called out.~

~I turned to see a puff of smoke materialize into a stunning woman. She floated just above the ground. Her features were striking, but her silver eyes, so much like mine, were what really caught my attention.~

~“Hello, Quinn,” she greeted me.~

~It was her!~

~The woman from my visions!~

~“Do you know who I am?” she asked, her voice suggesting she already knew my answer.~

~I gasped when I realized who she was.~

~“Moon Goddess!”~

~I was speechless.~

~What do you say to a Goddess?~

~“Umm...hi...” was all I could manage.~

~She giggled softly.~

~“I’m sorry for not revealing my identity sooner. I was waiting for the right moment,” she said, floating closer.~

~Seeing her was thrilling, but I wasn’t afraid. She made me feel safe.~

~She smiled and gestured to our surroundings.~

~“Do you like it?” she asked.~

~I looked around again, just as captivated as before. The colors danced and swirled together...it was like being inside a Van Gogh painting.~

~“It’s extraordinary,” I said, “but I don’t understand. What is this place? Is it real?”~

~“To mortals, it’s not real in the physical sense. This is a dream I created—with your help. It’s mostly your creation. This is the easiest way for us to communicate.”~

~I was still puzzled.~

~“Don’t worry, it will all make sense when you wake up.”~

~“Umm...okay.”~

~I guess I had to believe her. Who was I to argue with a Goddess?~

~“If it’s okay to ask, why are you here?”~

~She floated closer, resting her hand gently on my cheek.~

~“Because I see doubt in your mind,” she said. “About who you are, who you’re supposed to be…”~

~You can say that again.~

~“But you need to let go of these feelings,” she continued. “There’s much more important work ahead. You are destined for great things.”~

~I didn’t like where this was heading.~

~She floated back, looking me up and down as if she was searching for something.~

~“It’s almost time,” she said with a smile.~

~“Time? Time for what?”~

~“To become someone new.”~

~She took my hand and led me through the field.~

~“Your life is about to change,” she said. “You’ll feel scared and alone…but you won’t be. Your mate will be there for you, even if he has a strange way of showing it.”~

~That’s an understatement.~

~“That’s why I paired you two together. You’ll help each other more than you realize.”~

~So, us being together wasn’t a mistake!~

~I’d wondered about that—especially after everything that had happened recently.~

~The Moon Goddess stopped and looked over my shoulder at the setting sun and moon. She looked sad.~

~“I have to go now, Quinn. I’ve told you everything you need to know.” She leaned in and kissed my cheek, then started to fade away.~

~“Wait!” I called out. “I have so many questions! About my father, about ‘Vulpes’—”~

~“All in good time,” she said softly. “You’ll have to discover that on your own. Goodbye, little Luna! Stay strong. And trust the twins!”~

~She disappeared as mysteriously as she had appeared.~

***

I woke up with a start, panting.

I checked my limbs to make sure they were all still there…they were. I sighed in relief and ran my fingers through my messy black hair.

The Moon Goddess’ words were still fresh in my mind.

~Did that really just happen?~

~And the twins? Was she talking about Sky and Alex?~

“Quinn?” Jax’s voice came from behind the wall of pillows. “Are you okay?”

Was I?

“Yes…I’m fine. I just…had a weird dream, that’s all.”

We hadn’t spoken since that night in the dungeon. It had ended so badly I was embarrassed to talk to him again.

“Do you want to talk about it?” he asked, sounding worried. “Because if you need—”

But before he could finish, I pulled away the pillows and kissed him. All my worries and fears melted away the moment our lips met.

He started to pull back, but I held his face in my hands and pulled him closer.

He moaned in pleasure.

I loved the way his musky scent filled my senses.

I felt his lips curve into a smile, and I couldn’t help but smile too.

“What’s this for?” he whispered between kisses.

“For everything,” I replied.

We paused and looked into each other’s eyes. All I saw was warm affection.

I started playing with his hair.

Was this the same man I met when I first arrived here?

“Jaxon... I’m sorry about earlier,” I began. “I shouldn’t have put so much pressure on you. You have every right to be upset at—”

But my words were cut short by a kiss.

In a swift, fluid motion, he’d wrapped his strong arms around me, spinning me around and gently laying me onto the bed. His firm body pressed against mine as we lost ourselves in a sea of kisses.

His lips traced a path from my mouth to my cheek, finally settling on my ear.

He gently sucked on my earlobe, sending a wave of energy coursing through me. I gripped his shirt tightly, my body responding to his touch.

He pulled back, removing his shirt in one swift motion. His chiseled body left me breathless.

I’d almost forgotten how handsome he was. I yearned to touch his bare skin.

Jax then began to lift my nightdress, revealing my stomach. He paused before reaching my breasts, a look of concern on his face.

“Is something wrong? Did I do something—?”

“No, not at all. It’s just... today’s been a lot to process. I’ve had a lot on my mind.”

I felt a pang of insecurity. “If you don’t want to do anything, we don’t—”

“No, that’s not it. This is the best part of my day. I want this—if you do, too.”

I nodded eagerly.

He began to plant soft kisses on my stomach.

My breath hitched, my heart pounding in my chest.

He helped me remove my nightdress, but I quickly covered my breasts before he could see them.

I gave him a nervous smile. No one had ever seen me like this before.

I was still in my panties, so I wasn’t completely bare.

But then I burst into laughter, turning away from him in embarrassment.

“What’s so funny?” he asked.

“I’m still wearing my socks,” I admitted, my cheeks flushing.

We both laughed. He turned my face back towards him and planted another kiss on my lips.

“Don’t worry. I’ve got it,” he said, grinning.

Jax lifted my legs one at a time, removing each sock and tossing them across the room. I couldn’t help but laugh again—was that okay?

He didn’t seem to mind. His smile told me he found it endearing.

He climbed back on top of me, careful not to crush me under his weight. His hands found mine, which were still covering my breasts.

He intertwined his fingers with mine and waited.

I gave him a nod, and he helped me slowly move my hands away, leaving me completely exposed.

I trembled slightly under his gaze, but there was something comforting about the way he looked at me, as if he was honored to be the first to see me like this.

It was terrifying, yet liberating... It was exhilarating.

I shivered, and he looked at me, puzzled.

“I’m cold,” I whispered. “Can you keep me warm?”

His chest pressed against mine, and I melted into him as our lips met again. I loved the feel of his skin against mine.

As he held me in one arm, his other hand began to explore my body, eventually reaching my breast.

I gasped as he began to massage it.

Every inch of skin his hand touched sent a jolt of electricity through me.

I couldn’t stop panting.

His lips traced a path down my neck, stopping at my collarbone before moving to my other breast.

I moaned, running my fingers through his hair as his tongue circled my nipple, causing it to harden. He then took it into his mouth, sucking gently, making me moan even louder.

The sensation was incredible.

He lavished both breasts with equal attention.

My legs tightened around him as I instinctively ground my hips into his.

He was just as aroused as I was.

I didn’t want it to stop.

His tongue worked magic on my skin, driving me wild!

And then I felt it—a heat rising from within me, threatening to consume me.

I wrapped my arms around Jax, throwing my head back as waves of pleasure coursed through me. I arched my back, letting out a cry of ecstasy that echoed off the walls.

I didn’t care who heard me.

I wanted it to last forever.

My voice faded as the sensation began to ebb. I never knew that kind of stimulation could have such an effect.

As I regained control of my body, Jax leaned in to kiss me. It was hard to breathe after what had just happened, but I didn’t want him to stop.

I wanted more.

When he pulled back, I leaned in close and whispered, “I want you to keep going.”

His eyes sparkled.

“Are you sure?” he asked.

“More than anything,” I replied.

My hands were already pulling down his underwear before he could reach them.
