KEDIAN P.O.V.
Kedian watched his beta and gamma pull out of the parking lot. He was already in a bad mood. The morning news had six new names to add to the ever growing list of girls that had gone missing in three towns. All within a hundred miles of each other. Enson had been with his mate and her baby brother all day. The council had called five times to yell at him and find out what exactly his plan of action was for dealing with this. They had also informed the government that they had handed the case to the local pack and that they should call him if they wanted information on the status of the case which he could not give them because there was no information that they did not already have. And to top it all off Fin, the chief station at Blood Moon Security, had come down with a mysterious illness that had them laid up in the hospital. Kedian had to deal with all of this on the grand total of fifteen minutes of sleep that he got between when he had finally shut up Senral and the notification that Enson had entered B.M.S. headquarters at 4:33 am.
He was glowering at everything and every one as he walked up to the bar that had once been a popular spot for first dates. That wasn't to say that it was any less popular now. When online dating had become a thing and started to get popular the bar had been highly recommended as a first date because of their safety first policy and attentive staff. Now, however, it was popular among the those who know crowd. Not really a nice place when looking at it from the outside but if you know you know. A simple word had many people getting glossy eyes as they thought of the bar known simply as That One Place. As he pushed open the Heavy door he caught a whiff of rain on pine and the exhaustion seemed to melt into nothingness. This bar was starting to feel alot like home to him and he already knew why.
"Good evening sir!" A short bubbly girl said with so much enthusiasm he almost laughed. 'MATE! MATE! MATE!' Senral seemed alot happier now. "If you're going to be a regular I'm going to have to learn your name!" It was only now that Kedian realized who had greeted him.
"You can call me Kedian." He smiled at her and was rewarded instantly by the addictive smell of her arousal. "Whiskey on the rocks." He said as he made his way to the table he had sat at the night before.
She got his drink and brought it to him.
"Remember, don't let the ice melt this time." She smiled as he chuckled bringing the tumbler to his lips and sipping appreciatively on the amber liquid.
"Wouldn't dream of it." She was so adorable that he chuckled. "You seem shorter today." He hadn't meant to say it and was mentally kicking himself for it.
He was surprised when she leaned over and gave him a view of her abundant cleavage. "I took off my shoes." She stage whispered and straightened up. Then smiled as he leaned over to look.
"Why wo-"
"My feet were hurting so I took them off." She laughed and he couldn't help but be amused by her statement. He took another sip of his drink. "While I'm over here, can I get you anything else? We have the best chili fries in town."
"I'll take a large order than." He had not realized that he hadn't eaten anything today. After his conversation with the young Erza he hadn't been in the mood to eat his Denny's and had given it to Jacks kid when they came into work.
"Coming right up, sir." He couldn't help but feel hurt by her refusal to use his name. It felt wrong that she was calling him sir when she knew his name. But he didn't have long to feel bad about it as she turned and walked away. Her hips swaying slightly. It highlighted her perfect hour glass figure and revealed a small dimple at the top of her ass. 'Bend her over the table and fuck her till she can't remember her own name.' Senral growled. Images of her screaming his name and begging him not to stop flashed through his head and he was hard as a rock yet again.
"Damn." He mutter as she walked away. She had to know that he was watching her ass sway seductively right and left as she walked away to put his order in. But then he saw her show the same level of seduction to the other male patrons who were here alone. He wanted to drag her out of the bar and tie her to his bed. She was his and only his. When she returned with his order of chili fries she set them on the table and a genuine smile lit her face. "Bon appetite." She said sweetly.
"Oh yeah." He murmured huskily as she leaned over to place the small serving tray of fries in front of him. The low neck of her shirt revealed that she was not wearing a bra underneath it. The curve of her firm perky breasts was smooth. Her nipples were at just the right place and there was nothing he wanted to do more than suck them into his mouth and make her moan. She looked up and blushed when she saw he was not looking at the food. Their eyes met and he flushed red, embarrassed by the images of her naked body under him completely vulnerable and willing. She straightened slowly and turned to walk away. He finally looked at the pile of food in front of him and Senral started to cuss him out for making this mistake. "Fuck! Shit! No! Wait! I can't eat all this!" He said, distressed as he tried desperately to call her attention back to him and the small mountain of food she had brought him.
"You ordered the large." She said looking over her shoulder at him, her eyes gleaming with laughter. Her hip cocked to one side as she placed her hand on it. He swallowed hard. There was no way she wasn't doing this on purpose. "Well, that's the large." And she walked away with that sexy sway to her hips. After a couple of hours he had eaten as much as he could and was constructing a battlefield from what was left to keep from watching his mate flirt with other men. He caught her scent but continued playing with the fries on the tray so he wouldn't have to look at her. He wasn't sure if he could hide the betrayal that he felt.
"Didn't your parents ever tell you not to play with your food?" She asked after a minute or two, amusement very evident in her voice.
"Mom passed when I was young and dad would've had to care enough for that." he shrugged dismissively. It wasn't meant to be a condemnation. He had come to terms with it years ago. So why did he suddenly feel the sharp pain of it as if the wonds were made just yesterday? He did not want to look at her and face the pain that he knew he had inflicted on her with his words. The guilt that washed over him was like a hot knife twisting in his gut. And he wondered what exactly had happened in her life to make her so emotionally vulnerable to such things. What was she hiding?
"So... who's fighting?" She said after clearing her throat. He could hear the fake smile in her voice and it made him angry that she would use it on him. 'You have no one to blame but your self.' Senral pointed out and the anger turned to guilt.
"Can't you tell?" He asked with out looking at her so she wouldn't see the guit that ravaged through him like a disease, eating him alive. "It's the battle of little big horn." She snorted and sat next to him in the booth. They were so close that their thighs were pressed together. Her scent and the contact mixed to send his body into hyper drive. His cock instantly hardened painfully against his jeans and images of her straddling him in nothing but a pair of black lace panties swam before his eyes. The smell of her arousal made him want to throw her on the table rip off her jeans and taste her in the most intimate of ways. He wondered what her arousal would taste like and his mouth watered. Suddenly she pulled away and he was reminded of where exactly they were. "Don't you have to get back to your adoring public?" He couldn't stop the bitterness of his words as he said it. Senral roared profanities at him, demanding he apologize for the rude comment.
"I'm on break." She tried to smile at him but he knew that it wasn't real. Had he up set her that much with his cold words? She pulled out her phone and began texting someone. She seemed to relax as she read and reread their response to her text.
"Everything okay?" He asked, worried for some unknown reason.
"Yeah. Everything's fine." She smiled at him and his heart skipped a beat. He wondered if he should tell her to call him by name.
'fuck it. Might as well.' He decided. "Okay. If you're going to flirt with other guys can you at least call me by name." He saw a million things pass by her eyes in that instant.
"Okay, Kedian." The way it sounded rolling off her tongue sent a shiver down his spine. He knew that he definitely wanted to hear her scream it in pleasure. "Can I ask you something?" He smiled and decided to take his mind off of her writhing beneath him on his bed by making a joke.
"You just did. But you can ask something else if you like." He smiled mischievously at her. She blushed and he was nervous about what she was going to ask him. Would she want to know why he wanted her to call him by name? If so what would he tell her? Should he lie or tell the truth? The fucking truth. Might as well just go for it. What harm could it do?
"Doyoudoadultfilms?" He wasn't sure if he had heard her correctly. Had she just asked if he did porn? He could hear Senral laughing in his head. Maybe he should ask her to clarify.
"I'm sorry what was that?" His brow furrowed in confusion as he tried to tell himself that there was no way she had asked him that. She took a deep breath and asked again as he raised his glass and downed what was left of his drink. He didn't have time to swallow what was in his mouth before the words came out slower and she confirmed that he had not, in fact, heard her incorrectly.
"Do you do adult films?" His drink sprayed all over the pretty blond slut as she approached the table to talk to him. He coughed and sputtered as he started to laugh uncontrollably. "Ohmygod! Fuck! Raise your arms over your head!" El said frantically as she knelt on the bench, grabbed his wrist and forced his arms over his head. She was alot stronger than she looked. Finally he stopped laughing and brought his arms down.
"No." He said simply.
"What?" She asked in confusion. Had she already forgotten about her question? He laughed again.
"No I don't do porn." He said and understanding lit her face. "I own my own security company. It's quite successful, actually. Of all the things you could have asked, that's what you wanted to know? You are so funny."
"So I've been told. What's the name of your company?"
"Blood Moon Security. But we do more than Security. We also do P.I. and we have a legal team. Sometimes we do work for the government and that's....fun... I suppose."
"It doesn't seem like you enjoy working for the government." It was a statement. He ran his hand through his black messy hair again and glared at the door as it swnug open and some one who could not possibly be here stepped into the bar. Kedian blinked and looked back at the door, but he was gone.
"I'm sorry I have to go." He handed her all the cash in his wallet as they slid from the booth. "Keep the change." He rushed out of the bar and looked around in the dark night. Clouds had gathered over head and with a blinding flash of lighting and deafening clap of thunder the heavens opened and wept on the small town. 'IT'S NOT POSSIBLE! THERE WAS NO SCENT!' Senral screamed in his head. 'As if I didn't know that Senral!' He roared back. "I saw..."
He shook his head and walked down the road in the direction that Kendrelous would be at the club five blocks down. For once Senral was silent but Kedian could not enjoy it. His mind was reeling.
