Chapter 34

I felt out of place largely because of my maroon dress in a room full of people dressed in black short dresses or leather jackets and jeans. While I had my hair out in long waves everyone looked so casual or badass. I didn't have a place to settle since my best friend ditched me.

I wandered into the kitchen for something to drink. After grabbing a red cup, I went upstairs. There were a lot of them. The second level had a few people messing around and I mean making out.

Awkward moment again. I turned to walk back down the stairs when someone grabbed my arm dragged me to the mahogany table and pinned me there.

My heart slammed forward.

"You decided to come anyway," Kaleb's husky voice slithered down my spine.

His knee parted my legs. His hands rested on my waist and moved me down a notch so my crotch sat on his knee.

Whoa.

"You're not my Father," I whispered, aware there were people near us.

"No, I want to be more than that but you're evading me, Zora."

"Hmm… I wouldn't call it that."

He inched closer and I felt his breath on my lips.

"Are you going to tell me I don't turn you on? I can feel how hot you are. It's making my wolf go crazy. It smells so good."

I tilted my head back and moaned. His knee on my clit felt so good I just wanted to move…

"There are people, Kaleb," I rasped.

"Them? They don't care. They're doing a lot more than kissing."

"You mean…"

He gripped my cheeks and closed his lips on mine. While he kissed me passionately my hips forward on his knee. It was the most awkward thing but I was getting the satisfaction I needed. Kaleb left my cheeks and gripped my thighs.

"Whoa, there sweetheart," he chuckled.

"Don't stop," I said between kisses.

His hand moved up and cupped my ass. I gasped.

"You're not here with someone, are you?" My brows dipped.

"No, but there is something I have to check."

"Like what?"

"Zora," he growled.

"I'm not letting this slide."

"Okay, there's a little operation going down tonight. The night's still young but I need to make sure things go down well."

Kaleb set me down, removing his knee from my heat. I smoothed my dress and looked around and saw hair pulling and hips slamming forward.

Whoa, I thought.

"Why don't you go upstairs? I'm sure you'll find my sister there with a few bottles."

I nodded. Kaleb led me to an elevator. I couldn't believe I missed it and took the stairs. Hayley waved at us from the elevator.

"Mind taking her to the top?" Kaleb asked.

She smiled. "Sure."

I got in and the elevator doors closed between Kaleb and me. Hayley was the nice one among her group of friends.

"What does Cassidy think about you guys? I'm just curious." Her tone was void of any malice which was comforting.

"There's nothing going on between us. I mean, it's complicated."

"Can it get more complicated than having two fated mates?" she sighed.

"You have two fated mates?" I gasped.

She nodded and stared straight ahead. "Oliver and Russel. Sometimes I feel like I'll be torn in two."

"No way! How's that possible? Is it common?"

"No, it's not common but it's possible."

"So how does it work?" This felt more interesting than me and Kaleb.

"Well… we share. Or I share. They're both jealous hot heads but they work well enough as Gunner's betas so that's a win."

The elevator door opened and the first thing I saw was a sky full of twinkling stars.

"Speak of the devils. I must go over," Hayley said.

I followed her gaze. Oliver and Russel leaned against the railing side-by-side staring at her with heated stares.

I wandered off to find Cassidy. How could she ditch me in a mansion full of werewolves? I looked around to find more people making out. On couches or against the rail. I suddenly feared someone might fall over.

"Zora?" a familiar voice that set my soul ablaze called.

"Dash," I whispered.

He was dressed in grey sweatpants and a white hoodie.

"What are you doing here? You really shouldn't be."

I cleared my throat and lifted my head. "Why? What's with this party."

He smirked and took a step forward. For a second time tonight, I was pinned against something and trapped against a solid manly chest.

"This… is a mating party. To celebrate the mating moon."

My heart slammed forward and my palms drenched with sweat.

"Mating? As in sex?"

"Haven't you noticed a few things wrong with this party?" he chuckled.

Why wouldn't Cass tell me that? I can't believe her!

"Who-who've you been mating them? Ugh, do I even want to know?"

"No one. I'm working. But since you're here." He brushed my dress strap down.

"Stop there are a bunch of people out," I hissed.

"Stop because there are a bunch of people here or because you want me to stop?"

Good question. Did I want him to stop? I couldn't deny my affection and desire for Dash but I was just with Kaleb.

Oh… I'm screwed!

"Don't stop."

"Good."

He hoisted me off the ground and carried me to the corner of the large balcony. It was dark here but that didn't matter much when you were dealing with shifters.

"I can smell him on you and I hate it," Dash growled.

His teeth sunk into the base of my neck. I felt his wolf's teeth cut my skin and it wasn't like anything I'd felt before. It was like I'd been given a happy drug. I felt the swell of his member against his sweatpants.

"Dash… don't make me wait."

"Ugh, I can't wait."

He lowered me onto his tip. I gripped his shoulders and bit my lip as his member filled me up. Something sweet and luring filled my nostrils while Dash worked. It smelled like lavender and lilac and it made me want to seek it out and drown in it. Mixed with the pleasure Dash was giving me and the delectable scent I was done for.

I collapsed into Dash as my body convulsed and tensed around him.
