It was Friday night and Azrael had decided that they would go out to some place known as Nikky's.
A black and gray plaid skirt, charcoal silk corset and strappy black stilettos, a similar outfit she often seduced other wolves with, heels always turned them on, something about you can't run in them. Either for fun, or because they were a threat the look worked for her in getting what she wanted. It didn't matter now though, wolves were not the prey she was after tonight.
His scent was easy to pick out in a crowd now, she was used to it coming to mind without much trouble now that it was imprinted upon her.
It was good that he was here tonight. She had decided to give him a taste to keep him interested or all may be lost.
Men were fickle, they loose interest.
She had no desire to push him away by denying him what was rightfully his.
"Planning fun tonight love?" Azrael asked softly as they pushed into the door.
"Perhaps," she replied with a smirk.
"Perhaps? It's obvious I mean you smell like a-"
"Bitch in heat? You know I have never heard that one before. It is just so original. Tell me do you write your own material?" Az replied dead tone scanning the room.
"Ha ha. Come on I'll buy drinks." Azrael shook his head as he grabbed her hand pulling her into the crowd.
There, by the pool table.
Damn he was hot.
She leaned against the bar facing the rest of the room, her eyes drifting slowly but always with her mate in sight.
"Here, at least burn his smell out of your system," Azrael handed her a drink.
She shot it back and found that he was right. It did burn and blocked his scent, and pretty much everything else. It helped keep her under control just that little bit more by being unable to smell her mate.
"That's better," Azrael mentioned after a quick inhale.
Azharan knew what he meant. Now that she couldn't smell Reid her own senses would calm and no longer have the potential to affect those around her. She'd seen that happen before.
Pack sisters in heat, a local bar. Two guys got killed after reverting to caveman ways in the back alley.
"So what's the plan?" Azrael asked glancing at the blond across the bar.
"A little taste." Az replied smoothly.
"For him or you?"
She shrugged smiling as she caught Reid's eye.
"You have ten minutes. Starting now."
Azharan glanced at her Alpha, "Ten minutes is more then enough for what I was planning."
"Fine then three."
"Ten is fine," she said quickly before retreating heading towards the bathroom by herself.
She glanced at Reid and tossed him a smile, and knowing that he was watching her ducked out the back door.
About a minute later he closed the back door behind him.
"Certainly took you long enough," she mused from where she was leaning against the wall.
"Finally ditched your babysitters?" Reid replied with a smile as he came down the steps.
"Nah, they aren't that hard to get rid of if you know how to do it." She pushed off the wall.
"So what can I do for you this evening my dear?" Reid mused as he stopped a few feet from her.
It was one hell of a gamble.
"I just wanted to make a few things clear with you Reid," his name rolled off her tongue so easily and she knew it was the first time he'd ever heard her say it.
"Oh really? Like what exactly."
"This thing, you and I. I don't think it will work," she almost held her breath praying that she knew what she was doing, that her mind wasn't clouded by the lust she held for him.
He on the other hand looked surprised by her complete openness on the subject, "Really. Why do you say that?"
She shrugged struggling internally to remain calm, "I just don't think that there is much of a chance between us. I didn't want you to get your hopes up."
"Ok then how do you know this for certain?"
"I don't." She replied with another shrug.
"Well shouldn't we be certain on this before any decisions are made?"
He was going for it. He was actually going to following the steps she had proposed. She nearly fainted in relief.
Instead she smiled coyly at his words, "And how pray tell do we do that?"
Reid returned her smile and chanced a step closer to her bringing them face to face, "A test should be sufficient."
"I will not have sex with you Reid Garwin."
Yes she would.
"Not yet anyways," Reid smiled waving off her denial with a grin, "I wasn't thinking that anyway you dirty girl. I was merely proposing a kiss. Sweet and simple."
"Some how I doubt that with you it will be anything but," she replied looking up at him all but drowning in his closeness yet willing her eyes to remain hard.
"If that's what you're into sweetness I'll be happy to give you something a little more forceful." He smiled and brushed a piece of her hair back.
"I bet you will," she replied softly trailing her hand down his chest.
"So shall we give this a try?" He smiled at her allowing his fingertips to trail down the side of her neck.
"I guess it wouldn't hurt," she replied stepping even closer to him bringing their bodies together, "Like this you mean?"
"Perfect," He purred a half smirk of triumph on his features.
She didn't care if he thought he was winning a fuck from the new girl. The fact was the link he had just established with physical contact, while faint and unnoticeable would be strengthened by this kiss he proposed. If he seemed to be leading this dance then she couldn't be blamed with taking him against his will, forcing the link onto him. Of course leaving him in ignorance could make for difficulties later but she was willing to take that chance.
She leaned into him stopping inches away from his lips, "And like this right?" Her voice had a sort of husky tone to it now that she was so close to him.
"I think you have it my dear," Reid replied softly curving one arm around her waist his other hand coming from where his fingers had danced on her shoulders to cup her face.
"Good," she replied as their lips touched for the first time.
Azrael looked sadly at his best friend and pack brother Remiel, who in turn was staring at the back door in barely controlled anger.
'My friend, you loved the wrong woman.'
A familiar scent crept upon them and both turned to the other in alarm.
"Come on," Azrael hissed as he and his brother made for the back door.
As he pushed through the crowd he couldn't believe what he was smelling, how the hell had they found them here? He was sure that they'd left no trace. It didn't matter though, they were here and his sister was away from the safety of the pack.
She wasn't going to enjoy interruption.
She finally broke the kiss, far too soon for her liking but she had to end it there or take him here in an alleyway. Not exactly romantic.
"Mm," she cooed as he rested his forehead to her's.
"I take that as you've changed your mind about us?" Reid smiled down at her his eyes still closed.
"Perhaps."
"Maybe we should do it again then just to be sure what the new verdict is." Reid opened his eyes to give her a mischievous smirk.
"Hm, you'd like that wouldn't you love." She replied softly knowing full and well if they kissed again she'd not be able to stop herself.
Right now though she didn't care.
"Yes, I do believe that I would." He leaned in again.
"I don't really think that it's necessary but if you insist," she smiled as his lips brushed her softly once more as the back door of the bar flew open.
"Az we have to go." Azrael said sternly as he and Remiel came down the stairs.
"You have really shitty timing man," Reid sighed taking in how Rem looked about ready to kill.
"Az. Now." Azrael said ignoring Reid's comment.
She not bothering to pull away from her mate completely disregarding her Alpha's presence, "He's right you know, you kind of suck."
"I do not care," Azrael's voice was hard and edged forcing Azharan out of her daze.
They were in danger.
She nodded and her brothers seemed to calm slightly.
Azharan brushed her hand down the side of her mate's face in silent farewell her mind completely blank in what to say.
"Now Az!" The command shot through her and she dropped her hand to follow her brother's down the alleyway out into the street.
Reid stared after them, standing there long after they'd disappeared around the corner.
He all but burned where she'd touched him. His head had been spinning after their kiss and somehow he felt closer to her.
She'd dug her fingers into his hair leaving his toque askew as he crushed her body against his as he just couldn't get close enough to her. It was passion he'd never felt before, desire like nothing else.
She was different he knew that. Just as surely he knew that she was his and he had to have her.
