Volatile Love

Chapter II

Landon slowly sipped from the new drink the bartender handed him. It was bitter and very strong as it burned a trail of fire down his throat like he was drinking lava. The omega couldn't help but gag a little at the taste.

Landon could feel the eyes of the alpha man down the bar watching him carefully. It felt like he was under a microscope and it was making Landon extremely uncomfortable. He decided to sneak a peek back towards the end of the bar and saw that the man and his bodyguard were gone.

Landon breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the drink away when a deep voice made him jump.

"You don't like the drink?"

Landon quickly turned around in his seat and almost gasped out loud as he was met with the most beautiful green eyes he's ever seen. They looked like marbles as they stared down at him intensely with lust, attraction, and curiosity swirling in them.

"I-It's a little strong." Landon stuttered, feeling his face heat up with embarrassment.

The man's eyes seemed to soften a bit as he gave the omega a small smile.

The alpha was absolutely breathtaking. He was tall, the man had to have been at least 6'5 or something. Jiwon was 6'1 and the alpha was definitely taller than that.

His jawline was sharp and attractive, his green eyes were deep set under a pair of thick well-manicured brows. He had a straight nose and bow shaped lips. His dark wavy hair was slicked back with a couple short strands falling on his forehead, it contrasted nicely with his warm beige skin.

Even through his expensive suit Landon could tell the alpha worked out. He had the type of face and body that should be on a billboard or in a luxury magazine. He was in every essence a true alpha.

Landon had met other alphas before but none seemed to hold a candle to this man. Everything from his looks, to his voice, even the way he carried himself just exuded power and dominance. Like the world existed so he could control it.

Landon glanced to the man's right and left realizing he was alone. The other man that was with the alpha was nowhere in sight. The omega disregarded that for the moment and focused on the man before him.

Landon didn't know what he was supposed to say in a situation like this but he didn't have to as the man in front of him spoke.

"I'll take your drink; get you something less strong." He said, his deep voice seemed to vibrate the air around Landon.

"O-oh, okay." the omega said quietly, earning another smile from the handsome alpha.

The alpha reached for the drink behind Landon, purposely leaning in close to the omega. His expensive cologne wafting in the air around them. The man's eyes met Landon's briefly before they slowly raked over his body making the omega shiver before the man's eyes stopped at his lips.

The alpha licked his lips and Landon thought the man was going to lean in and go for a kiss but, to the omega's surprise and slight disappointment, the alpha leaned away and stood again with Landon's drink in his hand, swirling it gently.

"My name is Malachi." He said finally, after taking a big sip from the bitter drink without even twitching at the taste. "What's your name?" the alpha licked his lips seductively.

"Landon." the omega said breathily, feeling his body temperature rise.

"Landon..." the alpha repeated, "what a cute name."

Landon's face heated up at the compliment. His voice caught in his throat and he couldn't say anything.

Malachi enjoyed Landon's embarrassment as a slight chuckle rumbled his chest. The alpha reached out and touched Landon's warm cheek before he firmly grabbed his chin making the omega freeze and his breathing hitch. Malachi couldn't help but give Landon another once over before he leaned into the omega again.
