Taking the Alpha King

It’s the first thought that comes to mind when I wake. 


I take in the popcorn design, wiggle my fingers to make sure they still work, and attempt to move my head. 


Instantly, I’m dizzy. My lips smack together when I try to open my mouth, dry as bones. 


Movement to my left causes me to shift my line of sight. 


Maverick’s head pops up, red and blotchy, but a smile blooms on his face when he catches my gaze. 


He’s at my side before I can blink, cupping my cheek in the warmth of his palm. I lean into him, letting the heat of his body seep into my skin, a small smile of my own caressing my lips. 


“I—” my voice croaks and I start to cough. 


Maverick disappears, and I despair for a moment. It was too short, I wanted more. 


My tongue is stuck to the roof of my mouth, but Maverick holds a paper cup to my lips that refreshes me like a dry sponge soaking up water.
