Club.”
Squeezing his ass, she informed him, “Yeah, and we’re still fulfilling my fantasy. We’ll discuss yours at a later date.” Flexing her thighs around his waist, she warned, “Just remember that if you don’t want a vampire in our bed, you should think twice about inviting my friends.”
“Deal.” Trae began to make love to her, wiping everything else from her mind.

“Finally. I thought one of these thick-necked bouncers was going to throw me out.” Kelsey greeted them at the stairs as they went down thirty minutes later.
Trae eyed the little spitfire as she hugged Olivia. He glanced at Dennis, a fellow were, and Carlton, a vamp, as they stood inside the club, now escorting partiers to the door. Looking for his friend, Trae found Diego behind the bar, helping the manager to straighten things up. Trae signalled him over.
“Trae wants us all to do breakfast,” Olivia told her friend.
Kelsey’s shoulders dropped. “Aww, Liv. I’m worn out. I just want to go home and climb into bed.”
“That sounds like a delicious idea,” Diego interjected as he stepped closer to their small group.
Trae watched Kelsey eye the six-foot-four, bald-headed Hispanic male with interest. “And you are?”
“Kelsey, Diego. Diego, Kelsey,” Trae introduced.
His friend’s gaze slowly went from Kelsey’s short, spiky blonde hair, over her tight top, cupping her large breasts, down past her tiny skirt and finally to the red pumps on her feet. Meeting her eyes again, he said, “I remember you. You’re the feisty one who clocked Preston on the dance floor.”
“What?” Olivia screeched, concern for her friend etched on her features.
Relax, baby , Trae said inside Olivia’s head.
Placing her hand on her hip, Kelsey cocked her head to the side. “If you mean the jerk that kept manhandling me and getting fresh with his hands up my skirt, hell, yeah.”
A huge smile split Diego’s face. “Preston is a prick.” Diego stepped towards her. “Evidently, you need a man who knows when and where a lady enjoys a little force. On the floor isn’t it.”
Kelsey closed the gap, pressing herself close to Diego and looking up at him. “You think that’s you?”
Reaching out, Diego lightly caressed Kelsey’s cheek. “Sí, señora bastante pequeña.”
Trae watched the short, white woman blush.
That’s a first , Olivia thought.
Trae chuckled at Olivia’s thoughts. He leant down and whispered in her ear. “A night of firsts, rabbit.”
Turning into his arms, she said, “I’m not sure how I feel about that pet name.” Arching a thin, black eyebrow, she continued, her voice low, “Don’t wolves devour rabbits on a regular—”
Trae pressed his lips to hers. As I did tonight and plan to do often .
Olivia shivered against him and sighed. Ending the kiss, she stepped back and faced her friend. “Are we good for breakfast, now? I’m starving.”
“I’m ready.” Trae wrapped his arm around Olivia’s waist, fitting her along his side.
“I’m in,” Kelsey confirmed.
“Definitely,” Diego added.
As they all headed out of the door, Trae heard Diego ask, “So, Kelsey, you ever fuck a were?”
“A what?” Kelsey’s voice held the evidence of her confusion.
“Excuse Diego, Kelsey, sometimes he gets a little ahead of himself.” Trae shot Diego a look of warning. It wasn’t that weres kept themselves a secret from society—many people knew about them, worked with them—however, they were never bold about their lives unless they had good reason to be.
He glanced at Olivia, as she gazed at her friend, as they all left The Club.
Olivia was a prime example of a good reason.
Chapter Three
Trae watched his father, his Alpha, as he pushed out, one stroke after another, gliding across their back yard pool. It was his father’s daily regimen, what he did to focus, clear his mind and stay in shape. It was late on Saturday afternoon. After he’d had breakfast with
