THAI You Must Love Me

When I come back into the cafeteria I walk straight to the table and grab Luke by the tie pulling him to the dance floor. We’ve danced before and have kissed a few times after a couple drinks, so it’s not like if I did that tonight it would be odd. I just hope he forgives me for using him to make Colin jealous. Another old school song comes on that was hand picked by the Moon Goddess herself just for this occasion. It’s a song that is pretty much made for grinding. I turn so that my ass is against Luke’s crotch and grab his hands, placing them on my hips. I place my own hands on my thighs to steady myself and start to grind. I tilt my head to the side showing Luke my bare neck. I make eye contact with Colin who just made his way back to Victoria with drinks. I smirk at him while I lightly brush my hand against my neck. As werewolves our necks are super important. They are either a sign of submission to an Alpha or where your mark goes from your mate. So me showing Luke my neck in this manner is very much not ok. I get lost in the music and close my eyes when I feel Luke’s arousal grow. I continue grinding against him while he lets his right hand wonder up my waist to my breast and his left hand holds my head. His mouth makes it’s way to my neck and starts kissing it up and down. I can’t let this go too far or I will really regret it for way too many reasons.

From the other side of the room the sound of a glass shattering brings everyone’s attention to a very pissed off Colin. Between the alcohol, the alpha blood and the mate bond it is very clear that he is fighting his wolf for dominance. While his friends and Victoria try to calm him down he throws a chair and growls at anyone near him.

“What the hell got him so angry? He’s usually pretty mellow. I wonder if something happened with Victoria?”

“I don’t know Luke, but let’s go out to the courtyard and get some fresh air” I grab his hand and start walking, I really need fresh air anyway.

On our way outside I notice out of the corner of my eye that we are being followed. Luke notices as well.

“Ok big guy what’s going on?” Luke says playfully while he lets go of my hand and wraps his arm around Colin’s neck.

Colin lets off a warning growl and Luke backs off throwing his hands in the air.

“Dude, what the hell man. Be cool, it’s me.”

Knowing that Colin is not going to admit to Luke that I’m his mate and that I certainly am not going to go down that road either, I turn back around and head inside. Right before I turn the corner I look back at the boys and ever so sarcastically say to them:

“You two have fun out here, I am going to the girls room. I would use the little tomboy’s room, but sadly, they don’t have one” I wave goodbye and head back smiling.

I can hear Luke laugh as Colin lets out an annoyed growl. I can sense Leia jumping inside of my head and I smile as wide as possible. Knowing that I just pissed him off helps make this night not suck so bad. Remembering how bad his words hurt me, the smile is gone. I fight back a tear and walk in to join the girls back on the dance floor.

Amber hands me a mason jar and puts her finger to her lips. She winks at me, which is more of a blink. She is trying to signal to me that it contains her dad’s homemade moonshine. She apparently has had quite a bit tonight because she starts giggling when I take it from her. I notice that it is half gone already, and it suddenly all makes sense so I just laugh back at her. It is his apple pie flavor and oh my goddess it is so amazing. I take quite a few swigs of it as fast as I can and close my eyes. I smile as the warm sensation flows down into my stomach. I need to forget what happened tonight and this is the best way.

We continue dancing and drinking for what feels like forever. It has basically been all 90′s hip hop and pop with a little country mixed in. We get lost in the music and it are having such a good night. I don’t realize that the boys have returned until a slow song comes on and the girls let out a collective “Ahh man!”

“I for one am so glad because my feet are killing me. Seriously, I hate heels. Why do you guys wear them all the damn time and on purpose?”

“Oh Ellie, you should seriously wear makeup and dresses and your hair down like this all the time. You are making every girl in here jealous and every guy in here drool and you haven’t even noticed.” Amber is drunk by now, for sure. Even with being a werewolf, she still drank enough to get her drunk. That’s impressive and also one of the reasons I like hanging out with her.

“Ya Ellie! You didn’t even notice that Colin has been looking at you since he came back in! He’s tried to play it off but he’s terrible at it. He can’t even focus on Victoria dancing!” Heather is now slow dancing with herself practically, or just swaying from drinking so much. I’m not really sure at this point because I suddenly also feel very intoxicated. I don’t even register what she just told me about Colin watching me.

I start to get a little dizzy and decide to leave on my own without telling anyone where I am going. I make it outside, take my shoes off and lean against the wall for support. Another wave of dizziness hits me. I take a deep breath and dust off my dress like I am ready to walk across the lawn to the Pack house. I am way too confident about it because suddenly, the last wave of dizziness hits me and I fall. I brace myself for impact, but instead of hitting the ground, my body lands into someone’s arms and my eyes close as tingles and sparks engulf my entire body. I moan with content and can feel myself being aroused. I am too drunk to open my eyes enough to see who it is, but by the way my body is responding I am pretty sure it’s Colin. Asshole. He picks me up bridal style and starts walking. I'm not sure where we are going but whatever, I am too drunk to care at this moment.

“I can smell you, and I am having a really hard time controlling Devon so please calm yourself down. How the hell did you get this drunk. Did Amber bring her dad’s moonshine again. Of course she did. What you did back there with Luke was not ok. I know what I did was fucked up too. Goddess I'm sorry Ellie, I am so confused on what to do here, but I'm really trying, I promise.” He is rambling and I can barely understand him, not that I care to.

I smile in my drunken state and wrap my arms around his neck. I nuzzle my face into chest and deeply inhale his intoxicating scent. Even with my eyes closed I can tell he is blushing and I beam with happiness before I pass out in his arms.

I am almost positive that I felt him kiss my head while he whispered as I fell asleep. “You really are so beautiful Ellie, I’m so sorry for what I did.”
