Page 45 of Twinning and Sinning

"Seeing if they marked you," she looked at me like I was dumb.

"Of course, they marked me; look at me!" I had hickies from the bottom of my jaw down to the upper part of my chest. Alright, on my chest too, but I didn't need to flaunt the girls to the whole dining hall.

"No, no, THE mark. The big one you get on your shoulder. I heard the male Wolves bite their females to leave a good scar. They say it’s erotic, sexy and totally barbaric by human standards. In other words, hot as hell. I want one," Zoey giggled. "Maybe Trey could just bite me anyway."

"I don't know if he would be into that; he looks like he would be plain vanilla, Zoey." Zoey sighed, leaning on her arm. "Not when I'm through with him. I can break him in a bit," Zoey glanced around the room, only to see Trey staring back at our table. The boys were staring at me, watching every move I made.

And mark? What the hell was that? Biting? Scaring? Not too sure on that one. Leave that as another question to ask for later.

Trey's smile didn't meet his eyes when Zoey flirtatiously waved back at him. This had to be one-sided. "Enough about me Zoey, I want to hear about Trey. What have you both been doing the past two days?" Zoey huffed and put her hand down.

"I worried about you mostly; Trey was the same. We searched the entire town together and even went close to the Werebears territory, a big no-no. Trey took a lot of pictures though, he got this brand-new camera, super fancy. He must have ordered it and picked it up in the next town over."

Zoey rambled on about the camera. Since when did Trey like taking pictures? I've never heard him mention anything about that hobby; then again, I hadn't talked to him much since I've known him.

"Are they digital?" Zoey suddenly stopped speaking.

"Huh?"

"Digital? Are they digital so he can put his images on a computer?"

Zoey stared off into space like she was looking for a specific file in her brain.

"Oh, yes! And he sent a bunch of them to a wildlife magazine. Trey found some awesome pictures of some of the Bear Shifters; humans don't know the difference, so he got some action shots of those, then took some pictures of the Wolves while I was yelling at Lonato." Zoey's eyes sparkled. "You think Trey will become famous for his wildlife photography?" Zoey gushed about Trey, but I have not seen Trey start the affections. I doubted the whole relationship. Especially after sitting in a truck knowingly letting Zoey get yelled at by a Werewolf.

Trey at least pretended to act worried for me when Jonas came around to bully me. Was there no possessive bone in his body to protect Zoey? Biting my lip, I tried to stay optimistic, but the more I dug, the more I worried.

"Alright, tell me this." I deadpanned. Zoey stopped muttering about Trey and becoming the famous wife of a nationally renowned photographer. "What is the deal with you and Lonato," Zoey yelped, threw her hands on the table dramatically while exhaling sharply.

"I had a crush on him for a long time. We went to different schools. I told him I liked him in 6th grade, and he laughed at me in front of all his friends. It was so humiliating." Zoey covered her face with her hands.

"Oh, Zoey, I'm sorry." She shook her head.

"That's when I started liking Trey a few years later. He was pretty nice when he moved here with his family. He was the new kid, so it was easy to make friends with him, especially since he didn't know about my embarrassing encounter with Lonato."

Wow, Lonato fudged up that whole thing. He could have had her way sooner than he realized and bumped her off like she was nothing. Then again, middle school years suck in general with the whole puberty thing.

"But don't you find Lonato sexy?" I whispered. Dimitri's head popped up from a deep conversation, eyes glaring at me. Dang, can they hear that far?

"Yeah, but a guy like that doesn't go for someone as plain as me." Zoey played with the whisps of her short blonde hair. "Look at him, he's got the strong, possessive silent-type vibe, and I'm all over the place. Not to mention I've got a high sex drive; he hasn't even had a date or done anything with any girls…"

"You haven't either, Zoey," I argued. Zoey totally had her v-card. She was a make-out whore, but her vagina was clean.

"So? I just know when the time comes I'll be freaky," throwing back her non-existent long hair, I laughed at her. Zoey was such a peach; I cared for her a lot. I'm glad I got one friend out of all this.

"If you had the chance," my finger swirled the table, drawing an invisible circle. "Would you have Trey or Lonato?" Zoey's shoulders slumped.

"I-I don't know." She hung her head low.

"AH-HA! You still have feelings for him," I pointed.

"Shh! Stop that; people are staring." Several eyes from the nearby tables looked, but I didn't care. Zoey still had the hots for Lonato, and now I needed to light a fire under his ass to get them together.

"What if we…" a hand slaps the table. Both of us jumped with a yip and saw Dimitri hovering over us. "Dinner is about to start, ladies; how about we continue your conversation later?"

I plumped up my breasts with my arms crossing over my body. "But we aren't finished, Thumper, just a few more minutes?" Leaning in, I pet his fingers with mine. The sparks tingled while Dimitri visibly relaxed.

"Not going to work, sweetheart, you are in a lot of trouble." Trouble? What kind of trouble? Grunting, I get up and follow him back to the head table, where we were to sit as guests of honor.
