NovelFameAlec tilts his head, voice calm but certain. "Then try it." I blink. "On who?" His lips curve into a daring smile. "On me." I freeze, my eyes widening. "On you? Absolutely not." "Yes," he counters easily without hesitation, folding his arms.
"Alec, I'm not going to practice forcing my will on you. That's-" "-exactly what you'll have to do if you want to master it," he interrupts. "Betterthan someone else." "No, Alec, I could-" "You won't hurt me." His tone is a quiet steel. "You can't run from this part of your power. If you want to control it, you have to use it." I hesitated, chewing my lip. "I don't know if I can even-" "Then prove itand yourself, Sadie... You can do it," he challenges softly, eyes gleaming.
Something about the way he said it. The conviction behind his words. It unravels my resistance. Slowly, I nodded.
I straighten, drawing in a breath, I meet his gaze. His eyes are steady, unwavering.
"Ccloser," I command.

One of his brows lifted, the corner of his mouth twitching. "You'll have to mean it, Sadie." I narrow my eyes, letting the energy pour into my words and letting more power thread into my voice. "Ccloser." Something shifts in his eyes, his back becomes ramrod and his eyes glaze over just a little bit. Like he's under a spell.
This the obeys; his body moves toward me, step after step until he is only inches away. My pulse hammers, heart racing as the realization that my command worked hits me.
I can't believe I just commanded an Alpha and he obeyed as if he were an omega.
His heat seeps into me; his scent, cedar and smoke, wraps around me.
I need something different, but when I open my mouth to give another command, the words that spill out aren't the ones I'd planned.
"Kiss me." The air around us freezes as the command rings through it.
Shock rips through me. My breath catches. Fuck! Why did I command that? What's wrong with me? Nothing is wrong with you; just admit you want him to kiss you. An annoying voice says inside my head.
Alec's lips part, and for a heartbeat I see him falter. Not because of my power, but because of the weight of those words.
His eyes are dark and his body leans closer, lips hovering just shy of mine. Panic jolts through me, and I force the word out.
"Stop." He stills instantly, the spell snapping loose. My power releases him.
I stumbled back, face hot and completely horrified. "I-I didn't mean I'm so sorry. That wasn't-" "Sadie." His voice is calm and steady.
I shake my head, mortified. "I can't believe I... I didn't mean to command that. I'm so sorry." "Sadie." His tone sharpens, pullingback to him. "Look at me." I do, though reluctantly.
"At any point," He asks softly, "Did I look like I was struggling against your command?" I frown, replaying the moment. Slowly, I shake my head. "No." My heart starts pounding but for a reason. Does that mean he to kisstoo? My question is answered by his next words.
"That's because I wasn't."
The air between us thickens. My lips m part, but no words cout. Ple e.
hadn't fought it. He hadn't wanted to. The world tilts. Even though he just hinted, I still need confirmation.
"You..." My voice cracked. "You wanted to." His eyes don't flinch. "I've wanted to for longer than you realize." My chest tightens, every defense I'd built rattling. "Alec—" He steps even closer, voice dropping low, you "If you wantto kiss control. All you have to dond you, Sadie, you don't need ask." Logic screams forto walk away, but I can't. Not when the truth of what I want screams louder than those of logic.
Before I can think too much. Before fear or shcan stop me, the m words, ship can stop words slip past my lips. "Kiss me." This time, there is no power in the words. No command. Just me.
For a moment, Alec's eyes burn intowith surprise. Then the smirk fades, replaced by something. deeper and heavier... and then he doesn't waste another breath.
