The Alpha's Human - Part One
D.J. Heart - 2015
These are the facts as Kyle knows them. When Cade, Kyle's old high school crush, struts up to him in the gym - with his big muscles, cocky attitude and a bulge in his shorts that verges on the obscene - the facts as Kyle knows them just might have to be reconsidered... Cade has known that Kyle is his mate since they were in high school, back when he was in the closet and his reputation meant more to him than making his wolf happy. Now he's both older and wiser, and when he unexpectedly runs into his mate at the gym - weeks before he'd intended to make his move - his wolf takes over and demands that he finally lay claim to what is his... (This 15,000 word story is part one of a five part serial. It features a cute accountant and a dominant alpha werewolf who wants nothing more than to claim, love and cherish him forever.) *** “Kyle, I thought that was you.” Kyle gave a start, turning to see Cade walking up behind him. The big man was dressed in tight jeans and a snug leather jacket, flashing his teeth in a wide grin as he looked Kyle up and down. “Cade…” Kyle said, lips curling up in a smile, pleased and surprised. “What are you doing here?” Cade walked right up to him, throwing his arm around Kyle’s shoulder. He was tall enough that he could rest his arm comfortably, hand curling down to pat Kyle’s chest. He was wearing his gloves, as if he’d just stepped off his bike. “I just met with my financial advisor. Boring stuff. I’m so glad I ran into you,” he said, rubbing his big hand over Kyle’s chest. Cade’s body was huge and solid, the tight fit of his clothes showing off the bulging muscles underneath. Kyle knew they must look terribly mismatched, him in his frumpy suit and Cade looking like a fitness model turned biker. “You have a financial advisor?” he asked, trying not to let Cade’s closeness translate into an erection. It was a losing battle. “Yeah, Staal and Levin. They’ve been handling the family money since before I was born.” Cade sounded nonchalant, but Kyle was a little surprised. Staal and Levin were for people with money. Serious money. Looking at the way Cade lived he wouldn’t have imagined that the jock was in any way rich. “Oh,” Kyle didn’t know what else to say. Cade’s body next to his felt really nice, though he had no idea where they were going. Cade had led him past the entrance to the park, steering him without asking for his input. “So are you off from work? You’re an accountant, right?” Cade asked him, clapping his chest lightly as he asked the question. Kyle wondered how Cade knew he was an accountant...
