Shaking my head of those thoughts, I drop the purses down on the table and turn to my vacant chair. Instead of seeing a chair, I saw a slick button down on a muscular chest in my line of sight. Startled, I take a step back to look into the owner's eyes. Warm chocolate morsels beckoned me to come closer, and I almost gave in to temptation if it wasn't for the switch of songs. I blinked before casually glancing at his jeans and arms, finding a soft jacket covering them.
My eyes meet the chocolate drops again, and I find myself wanting to sigh at his presence. My body tenses when I realize my trail of thought. With determination, I found my voice and asked, "You're in my way, excuse me." He only stands there, smiling smugly as I try to walk around him when I've finally had enough.
Instead of achieving my seat, his arm blocks me from my destination and his other arm locked me in. I was hesitant towards this wolf, unsure of how to proceed. The wolf caved me in his arms, scooting closer to me until our chests touch. A small kiss to my forehead send me reeling back. I was off balance with my footing, so I suppose it was a good thing this male wolf was there to keep me from falling, but I was still working to escape his hands.
As soon as I heard the growl, I immediately stopped moving. It wasn't wise to rile a beast up, especially if he was already irritated. The space I had made between us disappeared, and a tender embrace is silently shared. Since there was no avoiding him, I lean my forehead on his shoulders, already tired of tonight. I was hoping once this wolf releases me, I could sit back down and enjoy watching everyone else find their beloved.
When the male finally pulls away from sticking his nose in my hair, he growls softly. I rested my hands on his lower arms, cautious of what he might do. It was then I noticed his sharp jaw and scruffed cheeks. My eyes made their way to his, and before I could begin to feel fear, I was tenderly pulled in for a kiss. My body freezes for a moment as his lips touch mine. My hands automatically grab his biceps, and before I can stop myself, I'm beginning to kiss back just as he pulls away.
The wolf's forehead never leaves mine as he stares me in my eyes, consuming my mind. He starts to pull away, but in that instant, I'm caught up in his touch and the way his lips wove themselves with mine that I don't bother saying a word. I jerk his lips back to mine and run my fingers through his hair. One hand caresses my cheek a the other reels me into his chest. A soft moan leaves my lips the longer he kisses me and the more intensified it escalates to.
Our tongues battle for a war I knew he'd win, but I still couldn't help myself from tasting him. I felt like I couldn't have enough of him and if I didn't, it was going to be the end of the universe. We continued kissing until I couldn't breathe anymore. He made me draw a blank for a few moments as I enjoy the trail of his tongue. He let me gulp for air as his mouth fell down the side of my neck until he hit a certain spot, reminding me not only are we out in public, but that's also the place of my tattoo.
Instantaneously, I jerk from his mouth and escape from his muscular arms. My hand immediately reaches for my neck, hoping to not see any blood or ink. I relax with a heavy heart when I find nothing on my neck but his tender kisses. My hands cover my face as I begin to ask myself what I just did with a strange wolf.
His hand catches me off guard when he pulls mine away from my face, dragging me towards him. Instead of the look from before, he seemed to inspect my neck. I try to fight him off without using magic, but with on hand around my waist and the other holding my chin, I'm defenseless at hiding my birth tattoo. The hand releases my chin to graze over the tattoo, then his hand traces the triquetra and an electric current zips right through me.
It seems as if he's felt it too, since he growled and shielded me with his body. A gentle finger traces the outline of my cheek, and I don't have the strength in me to push him away. I allow him to trace his way to my tattoo as he stares me dead in my eyes. When his fingers graze over the triquetra, I shiver at his touch. A low rumble comes from deep within his chest. I flinch, causing him to pause.
There's silence between us, but the party continues on without us. His hand cups my cheek and he brings one of my hands to his chest. A slow song begins to play, and we begin to dance in our own little world. He brought his forehead to mine as his thumb traced over my bottom lip. I smile a little, earning one from him as I wrap my wrists around his neck and he wraps his around my waist. His forehead never leaves mine, and I allow myself to get swept up in his eyes.
He was a dream come true, in wolf's fur.
