Chapter 26
Sam wasn't sure what he was expecting when he walked into the bar that night, but it definitely wasn't a loud boisterous party. He had been expecting a small get together. Dean's face broke into a grin at the group of girls who was very subtly checking out the men. Sam hunched over some at their scrutiny and turned silver eyes to Dean as Dean swaggered through the crowd. As they made there way up to the bar, pass the rowdy college kids, Sam felt a smile light his face. Jessica, Zach and a couple other friends of Sam's were there. They had colorful drinks and were all dressed up. Jessica was stunning. Long blonde hair was draped over her back, she wore a pale blue dress that trailed just to her knee. Dean was there, basking in the attention that Sam was demanding. In the weeks since he last saw Jessica, Sam had put on 100 pounds of muscle and almost an added foot in height. Anyone who knew him was gawking at him. His shoulders, chest, and stomach were corded and thick. Dean began laughing when a couple of Sam's buddies began wolf-whistling.
"Sam." Jessica's voice sent a spark of excitement through Sam. He reached out a hand and she gripped his hand in hers.
"Hey Sam. How you've been, dude?" a guy named, Lucas asked.
Sam shrugged and watched Dean sneak away to a group of college girls. "I've been alright. I'm recovering."
"I bet you've got some sexy scars." Someone laughed and Sam rolled his eyes.
"I'll let you know." Jess said, teasingly. The group howled with laughter as Sam blushed.
"You better tell all of us. Embarrassed Sam is the best Sam. Or maybe… drunk Sam?" Zach said, patting Sam's back and shouting for some whisky shots.
Sam brushed off the hands and slammed back a shot. He couldn't help but notice Jessica staring. Her eyes were hungry and drove him crazy. He knocked back another shot and turned to the girl. He trapped her with his arms on either side of her and leaned in close. His chest brushed against her and with a gentle smile, he ran his hands through her blonde hair. Her arms came up around him and hugged him tight.
"I've missed you." She whispered in his ear. He shivered at the sensation. Out the corner of his eye, he watched his friends grow scarce as they gave the couple some time. Sam nuzzled her neck and just as he was relaxing into her embrace he caught a scent. He froze, his muscles coiled. There was a demon here.
