Ethan pulls me into his side as we walk out of the elevator. He’s warm and the feeling of his hand around my waist is sparking a fire in me. I blush, yes, another fire. The hall is busy and I notice everyone is here. I see a lot of faces I know and a few that I don’t.
Some are sitting together and some are walking around. Everyone seems happy here, safe. Someone has some slow jams playing, which makes me want to dance.
Ethan’s hand trails up my waist and I know my face has betrayed me when he lets out a low chuckle. When we walk into the kitchen, I stiffen when I see Sasha turns around and sees us. Her long red hair is in a braid down her back, she’s wearing a mini skirt and a low-cut blouse.
She gives a low bow when she greets us and turns to get our plates ready. Ethan doesn’t pay her any attention and leads me to the table. Odis walks in and Ethan flashes him a smile. Beta Odis smiles back and even though he’s smiling, he’s intimidating.
