Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond

Chapter 0282

I look at my glass, the soda isn't going down as well as the shots but I promised Jaxon I would keep an eye on her and the others. I can't do that to the best of my ability downing more alcohol.

I could already feel the strength of the shots I had already consumed tonight burning off, it wouldn't be much longer until I was fine to drive us all back to the Dark Phantom pack.

"I've promised Jaxon I'd keep an eye on you girls."

"Why, where's Jaxon?"

"He's left, with Jace."

"They've left?" She turns to the door, her body swinging on the stool so fast that she almost falls off. My hand reaches for her lower back to keep her on the stool. I step closer, that frenetic pull to her only intensifying. Shit, maybe I had more shots than I thought. "Don't worry, I'll make sure you get home safe...even without lover boy, if that's what you want." My lips tease from behind, my free hand snaking the hair from her ear and pulling it behind her shoulder.

"Sorry, I missed that. What did you say...it's so loud in here." She turns, her body now in-between my legs, I was that close to her again.

I don't miss the way she sniffs the air around her, inhaling my scent that makes her body shiver for a moment. Watching her take pleasure from my scent awakens my wolf immediately. A desire to have her here on this bar top. Her eyes that are focused on mine drop to my lips, waiting for my response.
