JACOB

"No, I am not. I love Jake with all my heart. He is my destiny. In my arms is where he belongs. He is the love of my life. I know it deep within my soul."

I am not going to lie, I wanted to cry when I heard Skylar saying that in a conversation with Kyle during lunch. It is never lost on me just how in love he is with me; the things he says are almost poetry. It always strikes a chord with me.

Skylar is the dream partner that I never thought I was entitled to get. He is loving, nurturing, attentive, oh so handsome, and scorchingly hot. No offense to Kyle, Roberto, or even Jayden, but my man is incomparable. Not to say that I think physical form makes any difference. It doesn't to me.

Beauty fades, but love can last for a lifetime if you're lucky. At least, it did for my grandparents but they are mated. That is not in the cards for us anymore. Or at least until someone breaks the curse. *winks at the audience*

It's December 7th, Saturday night, Seth and Jayden are out on a date so Skylar and I had the room to ourselves. Things got steamy between us quickly, but we didn't want to do anything too sexy here because it would be weird for my roommate to smell when he returned to our dorm room. Werewolves are deeply scent oriented and sex is easily detected by us because of the amount of pheromones secreted from our bodies.

We could clean up afterward, but we don't have that kind of time. We have a party to go to later on. The singles' rager, sponsored by Skylar, who had his personal assistant Santos purchase a large quantity of beverages for the occasion - and he made the students pay for it. Poor thing, he needed the money. *laughing out loud*

We are definitely going to attend that later, but hormones wait for nobody and we want what we want now. He suggested that we should clean ourselves of our impurities in the shower, so I immediately said yes.

I was dead jealous of his time in the Gamma locker room with Carla when they were prospecting each other and Seth and I caught them together that one time. Of course, I thought nothing of it at that time, but now I want it too. Go figure...

I had barely enough time to undress inside the locker room before Skylar attacked my body with voracious kisses. He took his time licking his way up and down my torso, we were in one of the shower stalls, and he was keeping my body pressed against the wall, causing me to moan as he taunts me with his tongue.

With his strong hands firmly keeping me in place, he knelt down and took his time with my body. It is when he engulfed my penis with his mouth that I lost all control. I am shaking in pleasure from the contact between his mouth and my hard penis. I did not think he was so skilled in satisfying a (male) Omega, but who am I kidding here? He is Skylar Stronghold and all the time he has been with Mandy I'd bet that they weren't playing card games when they were alone. *eye roll*

Skylar was happy to be there, knelt before me, going in and out with his mouth while I kept my moaning to a minimum in case somebody entered the place. I wish we could have the privacy of my bedroom in Boulder, but this will have to make do for now.

My ass was dripping slick all over my legs, my eyes shone with lust for my delicious Alpha, who kept taunting me with his mouth delicately slurping my hardness, taking inch by inch with delight. He then noticed my wet leg and a smile was plastered on his face.

As his mouth took hold of my every inch, he promptly used his finger to penetrate me gently and that is when I couldn't hold back anymore. I let out a loud moan that made him stop what he was doing and look at me in awe and fright.

"Are you trying to get everyone to come here to watch us?" He frowned at me, disapproving.

"It's not my fault if you're so good at this!" I defended myself, almost exploding at the way he touched me. I directed him to continue what he was doing earlier, so he did. I am not going to lie, I wanted him inside of me and I am not just talking about just his fingers here... but I knew we couldn't risk it. Not with our college plans.

Skylar sucked my dick with hunger and all the while his finger was pleasuring me gently. It didn't take long until I erupted and deposited all my lust in his throat. My body kept shaking at the pleasure of his touch. Our bodies were drenched in sweat and pheromones.

After he rose back to his feet, Skylar kissed my neck in a way that had my head spinning. Goddess, he is so hot! I was a puddle before him, just a mess of an Omega next to a very powerful and handy Alpha. Our bodies intertwined and I noticed his hardness was twitching with lust.

Now it's my time to take a knee and service the Alpha. I barely had the opportunity to suck his dick before he was exploding in pure lust. He was ready to go and I was eager to please him. I made sure to milk his massive penis for all its worth. I did not think it would give me as much pleasure as it did, but I relished in having the Alpha under my command with one single stroke to drive him to the brink of madness.

Skylar also could not control his moans and released his tension happily. We started the shower and kissed each other under the hot water, our bodies tangled in lust and pleasure at the hot session. Wow, this was a great start to the night.

The rooftop of the second tower was crawling with students expecting to get lucky tonight. This is it, our last chance before the Christmas Ball, except that by then it could be too late because our parents arrive the day after.

We still have time until April, it's not the end of the world if you don't lock a prospect tonight, but the odds are increasingly being stacked against you the more you delay to make a decision. Chances are you have fewer options and more pressure to make a choice. Our parents would say it is okay if you don't love your prospect now, just make sure to pick someone you can talk to. If you build a relationship based on friendship, the more successful they can become.

Of course, none of that applies to me, who is happily in love with my prospect. But I see what they mean. It's great if you find your prospect hot, but it's even greater if you find them likable, pleasant to talk to, and empathetic to your plights. Skylar is all these and more.

One of the Alphas was controlling the entrance - it doesn't fit all the students here, so they have to be picky about who enters. Ordinarily, Skylar and I would not be permitted to enter too because we are already locked to each other, but who is going to stop a Stronghold from entering anywhere?

Especially the guy who provided the booze.

The music was ambiance, the conversation flowed, and somebody even brought some snacks if you're peckish - even though we had dinner less than three hours ago. Seth and Jayden were here too, taking their time to get to know one another, so we figured we should give them some privacy to do just that.

Instead, we mingled with some other colleagues. Skylar is a popular guy wherever he goes, so it is not surprising that everyone knows who he is and is happy to see him. After enough small talk, he pulled me to a more secluded part of the rooftop, I mean less crowded, and we started to make out.

He pressed his body against mine and I could feel all of him. I let out a low moan as he squeezed my ass while his tongue danced with mine inside my mouth. I am in heaven right now. This could not get any better and I am a little afraid that the other shoe is going to drop at some point. But right now, I am the happiest I have ever been in my life.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"Here." Skylar handed me a beer while he drank his flavored vodka. He is partial to a fruity drink and I chuckled when he told me that. Not to say I would ever say 'no' to a cocktail. I would even take a mimosa if you're offering...

"Thank you." I smiled at him before I took a sip. It's past one in the morning and the rooftop is not giving any sign of slowing down. Students are dancing, making out, and talking to each other like they were speed dating - which they were in a way.

Sometimes all it takes is for you to give another look at one of your classmates. Who was once not your type can suddenly grow on you. Look at Skylar and me, the couple of the hour. I have already heard people thanking him for providing the booze about a dozen times so far, mostly the Alphas.

Skylar is a beacon with his 6 foot tall build, gorgeous blonde hair, and stunning green eyes. We will probably make beautiful babies, not that I should be thinking about that now.

At a corner on the other side, Seth and Jayden are talking very closely to each other. I feel like they're about to kiss, but at the same time, they seem to be too afraid to take the first step into action. I should mention that Jayden and Seth are both looking dazzling tonight. Not that it should come as a surprise, both of them know how to dress to impress. When I think about Jayden's Halloween costume... he looked like a god. Literally, a Greek god.

"You're quiet." Skylar pulled me out of my thoughts as we stood near the snack table. At this point, there were no more snacks left but it's a good place to place our beverage.

"Sorry, I was thinking about Jayden." I replied, more honestly than he expected me to.

"Oh great." He rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Are you having second thoughts now that he is with my brother?" He asked me, pouting.

"What? NO! I was thinking about him in the sense that he should be already kissing Seth by now. Trust me, I have zero jealousy of him. I want them to be happy, truly." I responded to his jealous comment. It would be incredibly callous of me to just now figure out that Jayden was the one for me, now that I broke up with him and he is pursuing my roommate.

People, believe me when I say, that is NOT the issue here. As if...

"Where are they, by the way?" He looked around the rooftop, but there were several spaces that were out of our current vantage point.

"Last I saw them, they were near two other couples in the southeast corner." I informed him, not seeing them from where we were standing.

"Well, as long as they are having a good time. I know I'm having a blast." He smiled at me and I swooned. I couldn't help but get smitten by the strikingly gorgeous boy staring back at me right now.

"Me too. Thank you for being my prospect. Thank you for insisting so much and most of all, thank you for never giving up on us." I said, lovingly.

"They might as well play 'Never Gonna Give You Up' now because that's our song. I will never give up on you, my darling Jake. I will love you until the day that I die. That is a promise." He spoke, romantically.

"I'll hold you to that." I asserted, firmly.

He then leaned in and kissed me one more time and it was all that it took for my body to get all tingly inside. He has an effect on me that no one has ever had before, I am constantly baffled by this fact. Not to mention his sweet scent.

When we were coming down from the rooftop around two in the morning, we caught up with Seth and Jayden as they exited too. They both looked happy by each other's side, but their timid disposition did not indicate if they had indeed kissed or not. I hope so, but I will get the four one one later, after we return to our dormitory.

Jayden looked better after the breakup. In fact, he looked pleased despite the unreadable expression on his face. Seth seemed content to be there. Lots of students were still talking, some were stumbling from having too much to drink, but most of us were satisfied to have this chance to blow off some steam.

I said goodbye to Skylar since his dorm is on the third floor, the first on our way down, Seth also did the same to Jayden. As we walked past the dormitories, one of the doors was ajar and we could hear what was happening inside. It might have sounded like someone was being killed by how many times they said the word 'Goddess'. *chuckle*

"Whose room is this?" I whispered to Seth, who was walking by my side.

"I have no idea!" I responded, unclear as to who was moaning inside the dormitory.

As more people heard what was happening inside, one of the students commented that it was Roberto's room. He is the only Alpha who has the room all to himself since Sean was expelled and they used to room together.

"Oh my Goddess! I guess he moved on from you pretty quickly." I snickered, glancing at my roommate.

"He was never into me to begin with." He said in a joking tone, blushing as we overheard what was clearly happening inside that room.

Well, I am not going to lie, if Skylar had the room all to himself, this night would have ended very differently than it did. But I have no complaints. We had the time of our lives tonight. Probably not as good as the couple fucking each other intensely right now, but I am fulfilled in that department.

In the end, we are not here to make friends - though that is inevitable for most people. We are here to make a connection. And we did just that. Roberto and Kyle are connecting on a deeper level. By the sound of it, very deep. *chuckle*
