Sold To The Untouchable Alpha
A Step Too Far

[Arissa’'s POV]

A low growl escaped Ivan’s lips as I met his kiss with my own, unable to control myself. Somethingabout the way he was kissing me and touching me sent thrill after thrill through me, and I wantedmore. I could feel something in me stirring, but didn't quite know what it was.

Taking my not fighting him as a sign to continue to move forward, Ivan cupped my ass and lifted,allowing me to straddle his waist with my legs. I didn’t quite get how this was a punishment, but Ineeded to regain control of my body.

"We can't,” I tried breathlessly as Ivan moved towards the bed. "There's a dead man on the floor.""Then he can watch.” Ivan growled, throwing me down.

His dark, hungry eyes took me in as I panted. Something about the look on his face and the slightswelling of his lips made my core throb and made me want him more.

"You aren't going to pretend to resist, now are you?" He challenged.

Leaning down, he placed his hands on either side of me and brought his mouth to mine once more.Unlike the first kiss that held an uncontrollable hunger, this one held something deeper, an emotionthat I didn't dare touch. This was simply a passion of the moment, and I couldn't allow myself tohave any expectations.

"You smell divine." He husked, nipping at my throat and making his way down to my chest.Panting, I clutched the sheet beneath me and arched my back, pressing my aching core against hislarge bulge.

"Is that your way of saying continue?" Ivan asked, sitting up.

Meeting my gaze, he grabbed the hem of my shirt and lifted, leaving my breasts fully exposed.

A shiver of delight rushed through me as he brought his mouth down to one of my erect nipplesand began to bite and lick at it while his other hand fondled the other.

"Fuck," I growled, closing my eyes.

I had to be still in heat; that was the only explanation for what was going on here. How else could itbe possible that I would allow this man to ravish me as he was? But could I let this continue? If I did,then we would cross the point of no return and I wouldn't be able to deny him anymore. Also, if wewent further, he would discover my shameful secret.

Something about that realization was like a slap in the face, sobering me instantly. Shooting up, Iquickly scurried from underneath Ivan, leaving him staring at me in confusion.

"What are you doing?" He asked, beginning to move towards me.

"No," I hissed, holding up my hand. "We can't.”

We couldn't continue and we couldn’t go further. We were unmatched, and I wouldn't allow myselfto be buried too deeply in false passion and expectations. If this leads to him being angry at me, sobe it. Maybe that was for the best.

"Why are you suddenly refusing?” Ivan pushed. Though his tone held an edge, his eyes held aquestioning concern that made my heart flop in an odd way.

"Because I suddenly became disgusted at the thought of fucking my uncle.” I sighed, pulling mymask of indifference back into place.

I would consider what just happened a lapse in judgement and I wouldn't let it happen again. Itcouldn't and if he kept his word, he wouldn't push me. At least then nothing would change.

"Do you see this?" Ivan asked, pointing to the bulge in his pants. "You did this and now you'resaying you don't want to fuck me?"

Surging forward, he slammed his hand on the headboard beside me. His eyes flashed in anger, andhis aura began to slowly radiate from him.

"T-that's right.” I tried, keeping my facial expression neutral. "Go replace your bimbo to help you withthat problem.”

For a moment, he didn't speak; instead he just stared into my eyes. By the twitch of his jaw and theflashing of his eyes, I knew he was trying to remain calm. Maybe he just didn't want to scare meaway, or maybe he was actually trying to understand me. Either way, I didn’t want him to stay hereany longer.

"Now that we are done, please leave." I said slowly, making my tone cold. "I need to take a showerto get your disgusting scent off of me.”

I stared into Arissa’s beautiful blue eyes and tried to figure out what exactly was going on in herhead. Despite her attempt at acting tough, I knew that she was having some type of inner struggle.The slight shake of her voice and how tense her body was said that much.

"I still owe you punishment.” I said, sitting up on my heels. "How many more times will you call meuncle before you learn?"

If she wanted to hide something from me, then I was going to try that much harder to replace out. Ididn't like secrets, nor did I like mysteries.

"I said to leave.” Arissa growled. "I don't want to have to look at you anymore.”

"That's too bad.” I chuckled. "Now that you're acting like this, I don't want to leave you that muchmore."

"Are you a masochist or something?” She huffed, bristling. "You seem to really enjoy being teasedand taunted. Not to mention, you seem to really enjoy having to walk around with blue balls. *That was more like it. The angrier she was getting with me, the more she was beginning to relax. Atleast I now knew that whatever was bothering her wasn't that bad.

"Is that your way of saying you're worried about my balls?" I asked, lifting my eyebrow. "If you arethat worried, then help me with it."

Grabbing her hand, I tugged so she came toppling towards me. I wrapped my arms around her frailframe and bit down on her earlobe. Earning myself a yelp of surprise and pleasure. Even if she saidshe didn't want anything to do with me, her body said otherwise.

"That's your punishment.” I whispered in her ear. "Each time you call me that, I will bite yousomewhere. Next time I may bite those delicious nipples. "

I watched in amusement as her eyes widened and she pulled away, tugging her shirt back down. Itseemed she had forgotten that her perky breasts were still exposed.

"Anyway, I'll send some guards to come get this man.” I continued, standing up and adjustingmyself so my hard-on wasn't so painful. "You get yourself cleaned as you wish and get some sleep.Meet me on the grounds tomorrow night so we can hunt.

Lifting my hand, I waved before heading out of Arissa’s room, leaving her sitting in the middle ofher bed with a dumbfounded look on her face.

Letting out a laugh, I made my way to my own room while sending a message to Carina throughmindlink. I guess I would do as Arissa suggested and use her to solve my problem. I could onlyhope that soon enough I could do that with her, but I was a patient man and would slowly bide mytime. It would simply make it that much more satisfying when I finally conquered her, and I trulylooked forward to that day.
