"What do you mean fancy?" I snapped, "I don't do fancy."
"It's not fancy fancy, it's semi-formal." Angus corrected.
"Well, maybe if you had told me that I was going to be here as your mate I'd have brought something a little fancier!" I snapped.
"Can't you just…call someone and ask to borrow something?" He rubbed his face.
"NO!" I dug through the suitcase to finally find the strapless dress that wasn't really very formal at all, but was better than nothing. I changed in the bathroom and came out to see Angus had already dressed. "That is not semi-formal."
"Yes, it is." He disagreed, yeah ok, beige slacks and a white button down was totally semi-formal. That lacked the word formal altogether in my head!
"Yeah…okay…" I decided not to argue. "Didn't ECP host the last one of these?"
"Yes."
"Why can't we do a hunt here?" I asked, trust me, I heard every detail of everything after I met Anna.
"Because Potomac River Pack doesn't own one warehouse." He said, watching me closely as I put on my earrings and make-up.
"That sucks." I grumbled, but he didn't say anything in response, he seemed to just stare at me. "See anything you like?" I smirked.
"Eh." He replied, flopping backwards onto the bed. "Not really."
"You're a terrible liar." I rolled my eyes, walking over and flopping backwards next to him.
"I know, why do I bother?" He asked with one of those "it's so tragic" voices. I climbed on top of him.
"'Cause you're too stuck up to admit I'm hotter than you are." I said in a tone that implied it was an obvious fact of life as I poked at his chest.
"You think I'm hot?" He laughed.
"Eh." I grinned, "Not really."
He growled playfully and I laughed, shaking my head.
"Get your tail off the bed, we need to get to dinner." I got up and walked to the door. I opened it and he rudely walked past me without offering to hold it, though his comment explained why.
"I spent all day trying to figure out why you don't wear the ring."
I blushed and ran to catch up to him.
"Hey, no one knows about that!" I snapped.
"Well, I do, tell me why." He replied.
"Because I went swimming yesterday and I never swim in it. I just forgot to put it back in. How'd you notice?"
"Besides the gaping hole you mean?" He looked a little smug still from when I had told him no one knew about it. "I paid attention. You have it on now."
"That's creepy." I mumbled, my hand traveling to hide my stomach. Yeah, I had a naval piercing, no mine wasn't one of those ones that closed after twenty minutes. I'd had it for ages, got it when I was like…thirteen? I don't think any one noticed or cared and it actually did stay in when I changed to dingo. My fur just hid it, and I wore bioflex so it was a lot more comfortable.
It wasn't any of those crazy design things, just a simple piercing. Completely normal.
"I could let it close if you'd like." I told him. "Maybe get angel bites?"
He raised an eyebrow.
"Snake bites would look better on you." He decided. I frowned.
"How the hell-"
"I'm not stupid, Alex." He snorted. He flicked the top of his ear and I looked carefully, a stupid thing to do while walking to an elevator in an unfamiliar place. Finally I realized he had two scars parallel to each other.
"You had a friggin industrial?" I gasped. "When?"
"Got it years ago, didn't really care any more so I let it close up, it got annoying as a wolf." He shrugged.
"But…but…how old are you?" I asked.
"Older than today's piercings, Alex." He laughed, "But I'm not going to tell you."
"Fine." I pouted. "I'll get it out of you one day."
"One day, not today." He agreed.

Whoever's idea this dinner was was an idiot. You can't cram so many dominants in a room of debate all day then expect them to become friends.
Ian was there of course, when we first walked in. As if Angus' arm being around me wasn't enough, he approached us.
"Leave it, pup." I snarled and this time Angus was the calm one.
"Just wanted to give you my apologies." He covered.
"You gave them, I don't accept them, leave." I snapped.
"Oh, come on there!" He smiled.
I didn't want Angus to do anything stupid but I knew he was starting to get annoyed so I did the only thing I could think of.
I gave him a show.
I pressed my lips to Angus', parted both of ours, and made a big deal out of it. When I was done I nodded.
"Leave it." And I dragged Angus to our table, a few occupied tables around us stared.
"Damn right." I growled mostly to myself. "Don't mess with me."

Dinner was so boring and it was eleven when we got back to our room. I changed into my sleep clothes, which had been collected. I tackled Angus where he already lay.
"That was a painful experience, never again." I told him sternly.
"I rather liked it."
"What part?" I asked like he was crazy before he captured my lips with his and I showed me what he meant. Unlike last time, I was breathless.
"Angus, I…I want to try again." I decided forcefully. He made a face.
"I don't want to force you." He told me.
"You're not!" I snapped. "Please?"
"It goes where it goes." He finalized and I nodded.
"And no regrets later." I finished before squeaking when he flipped us over.
"And no regrets later." He agreed. "This means you're-"
"I know." I bit my lip. "I know."
I pulled his lips down to mine and kissed him with any passion I could muster. It was a few minutes at least before his mouth kissed a trail down my neck and shoulders and he pulled my shirt off before his lips clamped down on one of my nipples. I let out a shocked gasp and felt my back arch a little. He did the same to the other, licking and sucking, before moving further down my body, over my stomach and down my abdomen. I shuddered with the touch before moaning when he peeled my pants and panties off and licked some more.
It felt kind of wrong to be doing this with someone I had only known for two months and had just found out had lied to me, but when I felt his tongue flick inside me I could care less. I wanted to scream, but I bit it back so hard my lip began to bleed.
"Angus!" I gasped, eyes wide, blood trickling down the side of my mouth before I bit my lip again as I reached my peak. I felt Angus' mouth against mine again and his body pressed against me. I could taste me on him when he kissed me and he licked the blood off my face.
"Don't bite." He scolded gently against my mouth before he finally allowed me to undress him. When I was done, he kissed me again. I felt him against me and I bit down, this time on his lip. He growled and pulled his entire self back.
"We can stop." He reminded.
I shook my head and pulled him back to where he'd left off. When he entered me I gasped and squirmed. It didn't hurt as much as last time, but dear God I think Angus was bigger.
He had magically sustained control because he stayed like that for a bit, just letting me take a moment.
When he was done, I collapsed, it was one fifteen and I couldn't keep my eyes open. I curled into him and fell asleep into a peaceful slumber with no Lucas in sight.
