“I don’t want to go home yet”.
“We don’t need to. It’s still early and Jake isn’t here yet”.
“Yeah but he’ll take me home as soon as he arrives”. I sighed.
“Not if we jump ship and he doesn’t know we’ve left”. She smirked.
“But I like it here”. I groaned. “Good music, nice people. I prefer it here and if we leave he’ll find us”.
“Yeah but he’ll also make us go home and we both don’t want to go home right now”.
She made a good point but I didn’t want to argue with him again. Or did I? He was hot as fuck when he was mad. I loved how his eyes changed to black, the disapproving looks even the growls. The rush of excitement that ran through my body when he held me tightly against him.
I loved the dominant side, the possessive side. He did things to me that no one else ever has.
I forgot how hot I got when I thought about him like that. We hadn’t had any little encounters since him mom caught us.
“You’re thinking about it”. She grinned.
“You don’t want to know what I’m thinking about”. I squeezed my legs together tight. I was hot, turned on and tipsy. Great combination… not!
“Maybe don’t think about that in here”. She glanced around the bar. Derek was looking straight at us. He looked rather uncomfortable.
“What’s-… oh OH god”. I whispered. I could feel the warmth growing on my cheeks. “Can they”. I glanced at the group of guys. “Oh god”. None of them could look at me. I placed my hands over my face.
How embarrassing.
“It’s uncomfortable for them but it’s not as if they aren’t used to it. It’s just a little different because of who you are”.
The sound of breaking glass caused me to jump. My heart hammering in my chest. Did one of them just break the glass with his hand. I swallowed the lump that appeared in my throat.
I was safe. They wouldn’t hurt me.
“Leah, hey, it’s okay. It just gets a little much for them. They have urges as well, especially when they aren’t mated. It’s not your fault”.
I was beginning to understand why Derek told us we shouldn’t be here. I chewed my bottom lip trying my hardest not to cry.
“I think it’s time you girls go home”. Derek stood in front of me blocking my view.
I was already dialling Jake’s number. I suddenly felt really uncomfortable not to mention still embarrassed as hell.
“You drunk?”. Were his first words.
“Are you nearly here?”. I whispered.
“Leah what’s wrong?”.
I hated that he could tell instantly something was wrong. “I just want to go home”. I glanced at Alanna.
“Baby put Derek on the phone okay”.
I did what he said.
He was here. My stomach was in knots.
“Keeping my girl safe I hope”. His voice echoed around the room.
Oh he was here alright. The full bar grew quiet, his presence alone frightening. Something felt off about it.
“Always Alpha, it’s a pleasure to finally meet our Luna”. Derek bowed his head.
Oh shit… Jake wasn’t Jake, well he was but he was Alpha Jake which meant his wolf was present.
He threw his head back, his eyes closing as he inhaled deeply. I couldn’t stop staring. I could feel the power radiating off him.
“Good”. His eyes sprung open locking with mine. He walked closer holding out his hand. He didn’t need to say anything else. Slipping my hand into his he pulled me from the booth and flush against him. “I’m not mad”. He whispered.
My full body relaxed.
“I’m sorry about earlier”. He kissed the top of my head, his hands resting on the lower of my back.
“Can we just go home?”. I was tired and ready for this day to be over.
“Were they nice to you?”.
“I only met Derek and yes he was nice”.
“Good”. He kissed the top of my head again as he laced our fingers together. “I’ll answer any questions you have tomorrow but right now let’s go home”.
