Aries let out a loud whoop before turning around and jumping into my arms. I caught her easily, holding my omega close and breathing her in. Right now her scent was bubbly and sweet.
My cock was even harder, but I ignored it, trying to shift her above it. Aries’s wicked grin told me she felt it anyway.
“You know, I thought I was going to be scared of this part, but I don’t think I am.”
Then she leaned down, capturing my lips with hers.
Right there in the middle of the bowling alley, we kissed like we were desperate for each other. My entire body was coming to life as I held her close, soaking in this moment.
That right there made everything I’d endured worth it, because it led me there, to her.
Finally, she hopped down, breaking the kiss. Her lips were red and swollen, but her eyes were sparkling.
“And now I really am gonna kick your ass,” she said. “It’s got to be hard to play with a boner.”
My jaw dropped, and I barked out a laugh, shaking my head as I took my turn. She was right. I completely fucked it up, the ball hitting the gutter halfway down the lane. I groaned, but she just cackled behind me.
“Alright, omega, you’re up. Let’s see how you do. You can’t tell me you’re not just as worked up as I am.”
“I have immaculate control, thank you,” she said, giving me a mock glare before taking her turn.
She widened her legs and approached, lifting the ball exactly how I showed her and letting it go right when I said.
The bright red ball trailed down the lane before knocking into the pins, sweeping them all down like a pro. Another strike.
“I’ve created a monster,” I said dramatically.
When it was my turn again, I took a breath and focused, letting the ball sail down the lane until I also took down all the pins except for two. It was a lot better than my last round.
As the night wore on, the music got louder, drinks were flowing, and we even ordered dinner right to our lane. We snacked and chatted and smack-talked until the score was neck and neck.
“Last one, beta. Think you can keep up?” she teased.
I gave her a look before taking my turn. Just as I was getting ready to walk away, she smacked my ass, making me fumble the ball, hitting the gutter.
“You are a cheat,” I accused, shaking my head, but the smile was wide on my face. Even losing this was the most fun I’d had in my entire life.
“I’m innocent,” Aries said, biting her lip and blinking her eyes.
“Lies,” I accused, crossing my arms and waiting for my ball to come back before I tossed it again. This time she didn’t do anything, but I was so tense that I messed it up myself.
She passed by me, a smirk on her pretty lips. My omega picked up her red ball and went to aim it, but I couldn’t let her earlier distraction slide.
Instead of teasing her, I walked into the empty lane next to us, standing at the end and watching her with the best smoldering look I could manage.
She swallowed hard, looking more startled by that than anything else. Aries tried her damnedest but fucked up the same I did.
“Tied,” she pouted, but there wasn’t any heat behind it.
“Good thing we didn’t bet on it,” I said.
“I considered it.”
“Oh? And what would you have bet?”
Her eyes heated, and I knew what she was feeling, but instead of answering, she snagged the last mozzarella stick.
“For this, but I’m taking it anyway.” She popped it into her mouth and chewed happily.
