petite blonde as I tried to yank myself away from my sister.
‘Sorry,’ I shouted. The music was too loud.
The woman turned towards me. Her blue eyes were similar to Sophie’s. She smiled at me as she shrugged.
‘Cancer?’ she shouted when her gaze met my sister’s.
‘Kerry!’
The girls screamed as they jumped up and down. My skin started to tingle. The nerve endings felt soft and…pleasurable.
‘I haven’t seen you for ages.’
I left the girls to their catch up and plunged into the throng of people. The buzz was starting to hum throughout my body. I needed to find Sophie.
‘Hey, baby!’
I turned my head and saw her grinding against another woman. A slow smile came to my face as I watched her. The urge to dance overtook me as the drug wound itself around my system.
When I reached Sophie, I stepped between the girls. They didn’t need to be encouraged. Both of them instantly clung to me. Their hands ran over the muscles on my torso, sending pleasure all over my body.
‘Dance then!’ Sophie shouted.
I attempted to move but dancing wasn’t my thing. Sophie put her hands on my hips and tried to get me to sway. I let her guide me as a superhuman power flowed through my veins. She was so close to me. Her friend had moved away, so I thrust my hand into her hair and leant down to capture her lips with mine.
She groaned against me, her body flattening against mine. I could feel every place we touched as if she was climbing into me. I could have ripped her clothes off, right on the dancefloor, but some distant part of me knew that I shouldn’t.
‘Dance!’
Her shout was loud in my ear. It felt like a caress. I let go of her. My legs started to move on their own as I jumped along to the music. A water bottle was shoved under my nose, so I snatched it. Throwing the liquid down my throat, I moaned as it travelled into my stomach. I could feel it sliding through me.
My jaw started to move, so I bit down on my gums to stop it. Time ceased to exist as Sophie jumped along with me. Sweat poured from my glands. I could feel it dripping onto my shirt. I was superhuman. I could go all night.
‘Let’s rest,’ Sophie shouted.
I tried to disagree, but she linked her arm through mine and dragged me out of the dancing crowd. The blast of cool air greeted my skin as Sophie led us outside.
‘I thought we were going to rest?’
My jaw was clenched tight. I couldn’t stop biting down. It didn’t matter. Everything felt amazing.
‘We can’t rest,’ Sophie whispered, taking my hand and leading me down a side alley beside the club. London was the best capital in the world. I was a tiny prawn in the middle of its streets.
‘I bet I can climb that wall like Spiderman,’ I said, letting go of my date.
She giggled as she slid her arm around my waist from behind. I was about to attempt to climb the wall like Spiderman, but her hand ran down my body. My attention was completely taken by the feel of her. She wound herself around me, pressing herself into my back.
‘I want you,’ she whispered.
Her breath hit my ear. I pulled away, spun around and picked her up. Pushing her against the cool brick wall, I sucked on her neck.
‘Taurus, you’re amazing.’ She sighed.
I pulled back to look at her. She smiled at me, her tongue darting out to wet her lips. Her pupils were big, the blue around them almost invisible. She was perfect. She had shaken me up in less than twenty four hours. No other woman had ever done that to me.
‘I think you might be the one,’ I whispered, catching sight of my bracelet as I ran my hand down her arm.
‘Yes, I think I am, too,’ Sophie replied, taking my attention away from the one thing that tied me to earth.
Chapter Six
‘What happened to you lot last night?’ I asked as we walked down the street.
‘We went on to a different club,’ Aries said. His usual swagger was still achieved, even with fake legs. I shook my head as he winked at a passing middle aged
