“Ithink I’m the only one in here that doesn’t want to fuck you,” Rowen drawls, and I narrow my eyes.
“I don’t know if I should take that as a compliment or an insult.” I lean back, sliding my arm across the back of the booth. I pick up my drink with my other hand and take a sip.
“Shit, I’m lying.” He smirks. “I love the outfit. I would totally fuck you if we weren’t friends.”
“I bought this skirt at a thrift store ten years ago.” I let go of my drink and smooth the denim. “It was worth the two bucks. I’ve had many drinks bought for me because of it.” The miniskirt is one of my favorites. I paired it with a silky red tank that drapes just right. I love the feeling of the metal of my three necklaces across my skin as I move.
“It works,” he says, his gaze floating down my body. His attention moves to the waitress as she stops at the table.
Rowen is a new friend. Sometimes, he joins me for a night out. He’s a vampire and one of the new additions to the crew in town. Several months ago, we rescued him. He was kidnapped and drugged by an evil man. My best friend, Micah, another vampire, met his mate, Daisy. She is a coyote shifter who discovered that her brother and mom had been taken by the same man. When we saved her family, we saved Rowan too. Rowen hasn’t been adjusting well to being out of chains. He doesn’t talk to the rest of my friends and refuses to join us at family gatherings.
He is gorgeous with his deep blue eyes and shaggy blonde hair. If we had met in the club, I would have slept with him in a minute, but since we became friends, I won’t cross that line.
The waitress leaves, and I watch her walk to the bar. The Mark is a club that two vampires own. Ryker and his business partner, Bash. I love coming here, not only to give Bash shit, but because they are family.
“Roxanne may stop by.”
“Now her,” he starts, tipping his drink toward me. “I would fuck.”
“You sure you can handle her?” I smile and tilt my head. Roxanne is a rabbit shifter like me, and another new friend.
“I would give it my best shot,” he replies.
“I dare you.” Picking up my drink, I let my gaze wander and lock eyes with a cute guy. He’s been watching me for twenty minutes. The sound of my phone buzzing distracts me, and I dig it out of my purse. I smile when I see Bane’s name.
How’s your night, SR?”
Bane is a jaguar shifter. He works for Heath, a snake shifter who just found his mate. We have become fast friends, and we text all the time. SR stands for sexy rabbit, and I fucking love it.
Hanging at The Mark
Rowen’s with me
Want to come?
Busy. Just checking in.
Sweet ;)
Lunch this week?
Yeah
I’ll text.
Stay safe. Call if you need a ride.
Will do.
“Is Micah checking in?” Rowen asks when I set down my phone.
“No, Bane.”
“Who is Bane?”
