Dates and Hoops

“How in the hell…” Yoren looked at the scoreboard with a mixture of awe and disbelief. “I’m not even mad man; how the fuck did you do this?”

Up until the beginning of the second half, the Alpha team had been winning handily. After a team huddle by Derek and his Delta team however, the tables had turned. All points were scored by Derek while the Deltas constantly blocked any attempt by the Alphas to even get close enough to make the shot. They could have pushed them aside easily of course, but the Alphas seemed very hesitant to do anything that might harm a Delta.

Derek grinned. “Your mods made you lazy man. You’re too used to winning by just overpowering your opponents. Mods are no substitute for hard work.” He shook Yorens hand, both men smiling.

“I’ll remember that.” Yoren said. “All right, a bet is a bet. Hell, I’ll throw in something extra.” He took out his phone. “Hey Mom, listen; can you grab some of your friends and meet me at my dorm? Yeah, throwing a little victory party. Our little Deltas banded together and actually beat us at basketball.” Yoren laughed. “I know, right? So I figured they were owed a little extra reward. All right, see you soon.”

Derek nodded approvingly. “Gracious in defeat.”

“Hey man, being a sore loser is for… well… losers.” Yoren grinned. “Always good to be served some humble pie. Nobody wants to be a Richie, you know? You coming with? I’ve got my mom's tits newly-modded. Two words: Rum breast-milk.”

“Next time,” Derek said. “I should be getting back. My own Delta just had a date and I wanna make sure everything went okay.”

“Your loss, man. Rum. Breast-milk.” Yoren turned to the rest of the group. “All right lads and ladies, time for an after match orgy!” As the crowd whooped, he turned to Derek. “You change your mind, we’ll be at Chen. Bring your Delta if you like.” Derek just nodded and watched them go.

Emmet and Becky were sitting near one of the food trucks on campus, eating and talking.

“You make our legal system sound fascinating.” Emmet said in between bites of his fries.

“I know, right?” Becky enthused. “It was a mess before free use, but after… I could just read and read books on the law and jurisprudence every day for the rest of my life and still not make a dent. OZ law in particular is amazing.”

Emmet was smiling, enjoying how Becky was gesturing wildly with fries and explaining some points about Beta ownership. “A whole duty of care doctrine without any formal component!” she finished excitedly.

“So is that what you want to be; a legal scholar?”

“Yup! Hopefully I get picked up by a nice Alpha by showing off my legal skills. I participate in all the mock courts and debates. That’s the dream you know? Being able to dedicate myself to research, writing papers and worshiping cock.” She grinned.

“But even if I don’t get picked, there’s a ton of jobs in Queen’s River for legal specialists. I could always find some cute Local or maybe even Beta boy if his Alpha allows him to settle down. Or maybe not settle down at all and travel the country like professor Hallsey, giving lectures everywhere.”

Becky leaned in conspiratorially "Though rumor has it the Alpha Council runs a train on her whenever she's back from a tour, as a reward for promoting Queen’s River. Can you imagine… the actual Alpha council taking turns, their massive cocks pounding away at you, the most powerful people in Queen's River…" Becky caught herself, seeing Emmet's face. "Well… I suppose that’s not a thing _you'd _be into." She laughed.

Emmet laughed with her. “Haha, well no, but I can sort of see the appeal for you. Like a celebrity crush.”

“That’s a pretty good comparison yeah. I actually know a girl who has a poster of Sheriff Aboud on her wall.”

“What… like an official…?”

“Yeah I don’t think it’s official merch.” They both laughed.

“I liked hanging out with you,” Emmet said as he walked her back to her dorm.

“Likewise,” Becky smiled, standing in front of her dorm room, expectantly.

Emmet hesitated a moment before leaning in, kissing her. Becky enthusiastically reciprocated.

“Mhmm… call me?”

“Y...yeah. Definitely”

“Soooo…”

“It went great, Derek.” Emmet collapsed on his bed, grinning from ear to ear.

Derek pumped his fist in the air. “Nice!”

“We fucked and then went on a really good date”

“Ohoh! Look at mister studly over here. How was that ass? Everything it looked like it’d be?”

“Better,” Emmet grinned. “Apparently an Alpha her mother dated gave them both upgrades.”

“Very nice. You’ve got great taste man; easily one of the top asses on campus I think. Unless you’re calling dibs, I’ve got half a mind to pay a visit myself.” Derek saw Emmet’s look. “Oh you really like her huh? In that case don't worry. We’re roommates. Bros. No sharing unless you want to.”

“Thanks Derek, I appreciate it.” Emmet said, relaxing. “We just had such a great time you know? I’m thinking girlfriend if she’s cool with that.”

“Girlfriend? You move fast man. I like it. Best thing about Local girlfriends? Zero jealousy. My high school girlfriend was a Local. Not only was she cool with me doing her friends, she actually helped set stuff up.” Derek’s face became serious for a moment.

“Sucks you’re not purple yet man, you can’t claim her.”

“How do you mean?”

“Well, she’s a Local. So… up for grabs. Hey I’m cool, but there are a ton of Alphas wandering the campus. But you’re from a regular free use zone right? I suppose it doesn’t bother you if she’s spit-roasted by strangers before a date.”

“I… uhm… guess not.”

“Heh, maybe you’re becoming one of us sooner than you thought, huh? Tell you what, why don’t I claim her for you? I can put it in the system no problem.”

“You claim her?”

"Yeah. Not permanently; I'm not saying I'd adopt her as a Beta, or anything, but calling dibs for a while on a favourite Local is built into the system. I won’t fuck her unless you’re cool with it; maybe like a tag team like we did with Andrea? Fucking with friends is the best. But like I said, only if you’re cool with it. It’s pretty easy. I just register her bracelet with mine, pay the temporary claim fee and it’s done. Any other Alpha will see she’s off limits."

“Claim fee?”

“Oh, don’t worry about it man. It’s on me. You’re on a scholarship, cash is short. I get it. Dad and my big sister make crazy money, so I’ve got you covered.”

“Uhm… I don’t know what to say?”

"Don’t say anything. Just text her and ask for her bracelet number, tell her you want exclusive access to that booty of hers. I guaran-fucking-tee you she will be ecstatic. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if she shows up in like ten minutes to suck you dry."

“Thanks Derek. You really are an amazing friend.”

Derek gave Emmet an Alpha smile, utterly at ease and in control. “Anything for my Delta.”
