Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 63

Chapter 63: Chapter 63 Dance The Night Away

Caroline’s POV

When we got to the bar, we saw Ruby at the entrance hugging a tall, muscular guy who had to be her brother since they looked just alike.

"You girls look absolutely breathtaking! I need to know where you found these dresses," Ruby asked as she hugged us.

"You should come shopping with us next time, Ruby. This boutique we found has the best stuff," Eleanor said.

I could already envision my bank account dwindling.

"Everyone, this is my brother Jax. He’s a partner in Moon & Whiskey and reserved an amazing table for us tonight."

Jax stepped closer, and honestly? He looked like he walked straight out of a beachside fantasy.He was tall, over six feet, with the kind of toned, athletic body you usually see on varsity posters. With his tan skin, bright green eyes, and that boyish, heart-melting grin, he knew exactly what he was doing.When he took my hand and kissed it, his scent smelled amazing, like sandalwood and something spicy.

"Welcome to Moon & Whiskey," he said with a deep voice. "While I regret I can’t join your table tonight, I would be honored to have a dance with you later, Caroline." The way he held my gaze made Rory stir with curiosity.

The interior of Moon & Whiskey was impressive—ambient lighting, rich wooden elements, and an atmosphere that balanced sophistication with comfort. A live band played Latin rhythms on the main stage, and couples were already filling the spacious dance floor.

"Look what we have here! All my company’s prettiest ladies in one place," Joseph said as he walked up, looking charming as always. Ava was by his side, stunning in the gold dress he’d bought from her boutique. The sly wolf had clearly been planning this all along.

"Ava! So good to see you!"Eleanor immediately embraced her and made introductions to Nate and Ruby.

Kyle and Luke arrived shortly after, completing our group. After greeting everyone, Eleanor promptly dragged us to the dance floor as the band launched into an upbeat number, leaving the men alone at our table.

We’d been dancing for about half an hour when we decided to return for drinks. As we were walking back, I felt a gentle touch on my arm.

"Save this dance for me?" Jax’s voice was warm near my ear, his breath tickling my skin.

I found myself smiling and accepting his invitation. The band had shifted to a sensual bachata, the rhythm slow and intimate.

Jax led with confidence, his hand resting at the small of my back as he guided me across the floor. The bar’s dim lighting cast shadows across his handsome features, making his eyes appear deeper, more intense.

"You’re quite the dancer," he murmured, pulling me closer as we moved. Our bodies were nearly pressed together, and I could feel the heat radiating from him.

"I learned from the best," I said with a smile.

He gave me that hot half-smile. "Lucky me."

As we turned,his thigh brushed between mine, our movements perfectly synchronized to the sultry rhythm.His scent enveloped me, intoxicating and rich.

Despite the pleasant sensation of dancing with such an attractive man, I couldn’t shake the feeling of being watched. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up, and I fought the urge to scan the room.
