Tangled in Moonlight: Unshifted (Ava and Lucas)

Chapter 135 Lisa: A Simple Tryst (I)

LISA

It's a relief to see Ava relaxing a little at the party and getting along with one of the girls from training. Mia's always been friendly.

"So, Lisa," Bren drawls, his eyes glinting with mischief as he leans in close. "Tell me something about you that would surprise me."

I can't help but giggle, feeling a delicious thrill shiver through me at his proximity. It's been so long since I've had a fun flirtation. The only man I get to interact with is Kellan, the boring beta with all his rules and regulations.

"Hmm, well..." I tap my chin, pretending to think it over. "I once ate an entire large pizza by myself in one sitting. Pepperoni, sausage, the works."

Bren laughs, a rich, warm sound that wraps around me like a cozy blanket. "Impressive. I like a girl with a healthy appetite."

He steps even closer, until there's barely an inch of space between us. I can feel the heat radiating off his body, and it takes all my willpower not to press myself against him.

We chat and flirt, our faces so close I can count the flecks of gold in his hazel eyes. The rest of the party fades away until it's just us, lost in our own little bubble.

"Hey," Bren murmurs, his breath ghosting over my cheek. "Want to take a quick walk outside? Get some fresh air?"

My heart skips a beat at the suggestion, excitement zinging through my veins. I glance over at Ava, seeing her deep in conversation with Mia, the other girl's hand resting on her arm.

"Sure," I agree, biting my lip to contain my grin. "Lead the way."

Bren takes my hand, his fingers lacing through mine, and guides me quickly through the crowd. Into the kitchen, where we both grab a cup of punch and drink it between giggles and hot, heavy stares.

I gulp mine down as quick as I can.

He does, too.

We're on the same page. That's always good.

We slip out the back door into the cool air of autumn, brushing away the heat of summer.

Before I can even catch my breath, Bren is spinning me around and pressing me up against the rough brick wall. His lips crash into mine, hungry and insistent. I gasp into the kiss, my hands fisting in his shirt to drag him closer.
