Kian could tell that Kayla still couldn't tell what was off about Emma. Either
he was going to have to watch Kole hit on her, or think of some reason to go over
there and size her up by himself. Her voice was lower than he would have
expected, a mellow alto instead of a ringing soprano. Smoky, and seductive, just
the sound of it had his dick at half mast like he was a teenager again getting a
boner if the wind changed directions, instead of a grown man. Son of a bitch, he
thought to himself that woman was going to be trouble!
Chapter 2
The blond man watched Emma as she ate her dinner. The food was just
as great as she had been told, but she couldn't enjoy it with that sexy stranger
eyeing her the whole time. She could feel them on her even without looking up.
He probably thought she didn't notice since he was staring into the mirror instead
of directly at her. Like some cruel joke, there was nothing wrong with her insticts,
and they were screaming at her right now. But Emma knew better to run from a
predator, so she took her time, trying to eat at a normal pace. Checking her
phone like she was playing a game, constantly chanting 'just act normal' inside
her head.
Not surprisinly Kayla hadn't brought the check over. She clearly wanted
Emma to come up to the bar to pay so her brothers could get a closer look. Didn't
that just figure though. Go out one night for dinner and end up stumbling across 3shifters. Her father always told her that others of their kind wouldn't be accepting
of a shifter without a wolf inside. She had no animal for protection making her too
fragile for their way of life. Hopefully as long as they didn't touch her then the
three siblings would just assume Kayla had gotten an electric shock and nothing
more. Once could be exlained away as a coincidence, but not if it happened
again.
Putting her coat on, and gathering up her purse she head towards the bar,
aiming for the end away from the beefcake brothers. The little smile at her
nickname for them fell once Kayla waved her over though. She was standing
behind the bar in front of her brothers. Left with no other options, Emma changed
direction. The brunette one leaned back past his brother's head and gave her a
big smile as she approached. Oh, he was a charmer, she was sure the ladies all
dropped their panties as soon as he looked in their direction. It didn't escape her
notice that they herded her exactly where they wanted her, right next to the
blonde man, who was clearly the eldest. He was still taller than her while seated
on the stool making her feel unusually petite.
"Hey! How was everything?" Kayla said bringing her order up on the cash
register's screen behind the bar.
"Good, thank you." Emma said nodding her head.
"These are my brothers, Kole, and Kian."
"I'm Kole the dashingly handsome brother." He said his hand on his chest with a
wicked smirk and wink."Kian." said with a jerk of his chin, and eyes that had frosted over.
"Nice to meet you." Emma said breathing a tiny sigh of relief neither had shaken
her hand.
"Oh, its mighty slippery out there right now. All that melted snow from eariler
froze and I haven't gotten a chance to sprinkle salt just yet." Kayla said looking
pointedly at her brothers. "Wouldn't want your first time here to end in a spill
outside."
"Oh, I'll be careful, no worries." Emma said backing away.
Without a word Kian stood up following her towards the door. Grabbing the
handle just as Emma was about to reach for it he held the door open for her.
Guiding her through the doorway with a light touch on her back he said "ladies
first."
She felt his touch burn through her heavy winter coat, sweater, and all the
way down into the marrow in her bones. He must be very dominant to give off so
much power with one small touch. Instead of freezing in fear though, her body
was begging to burrow in for more. All the nerve endings in her body felt
shockingly alive, and she was instantly wet between her legs. No, no, no.
Absolutely not! Her hormones weren't in charge of the show, damn traitors
anyway, with considerable effort she stepped away putting much needed
distance between them. He was still standing there just outside of the doors, as
she headed to her car. Emma needed to get away from the way Kian had made
her feel. Hands shaking as she put the key into the ignition starting the little car and put into gear. As she pulled out of the parking lot onto the road she braved a
glance at him in the rearview mirror. She expected him to be staring at her since
she was unashamedly fleeing from him now. But he was gazing at his hand in
shock. Strange. Didn't he know his own power by now?
Kian let off a rumbling growl, he could still feel Emma on his hand. Like he
stole a little of her aura by touching her, but was too greedy to give it back. No
doubt about it. She was definitely not human. She felt like more, much more. It
hadn't escaped his notice that she didn't trip or slip once as she jogged across
the icy parking lot. Nobody had ever set his entire body on fire like that. His dick
was pressing so hard on the inside of his zipper it might break free at any minute.
One fucking touch and he was already half way there. That was only supposed to
happen when two animals who were fated connected. His wolf was pacing back
and forth inside. Nervous that he was letting her get away. He wasn't looking for
a mate, especially one who smelled so fragile and human.
Mate, she is our mate
.
His wolf said. Shaking his head at how complicated his life just became Kian
walked back inside.
Kole was standing his back leaned against the bar waiting for him. He
lifted an eyebrow in question.
"Fuck man, I don't know what the hell she is. But my wolf thinks she's meant for
me." Kian grabbed his beer gulping
