Valan Playboys Read Online Free PDF

day they were here, all of them damn sneaky in their ways of testing for their mate. I shoved him hard in the chest and continued slipping through the pulsing crowd inside the dimly lit ballroom. I held my drink high above my head so it wasn’t spilt until I came to a section of the swanky couches situated all around the outer edges of the ballroom. I sat furiously, and grumpily, next to Callie, and growled in complete aggravation, “ Do you know how many Valan have tested me today?”
    King Sephove didn’t even bother to stop his laughter. All the Kings and Queens, and their closest friends, sat inside this group. His dark gaze twinkled on mine. He stated loudly over the music, “I haven’t yet.” His brows waggled, wiggling his fingers at me. “Shall I add myself to the list?”
    “Grab a harp, find the pearly gates, and play until your fingers bleed,” I hissed, and then turned my attention back to Callie, who was snickering herself. “This is ridiculous! One Shifter followed me into the bathroom, passed toilet paper under the stall, and tested me then!” The Royals thought that was really freaking funny. I shook a finger at all of them while they hooted. “You can all rot!”
    Callie tossed an arm over my shoulder, murmuring quietly against my ear, “Perhaps you should quit drinking and pay a bit more attention to your surroundings?”
    In reply, I merely downed my drink and then grinned sloppily right in her face. “Never going to happen.” I wiggled my shoulders when she scowled, bopping my head to the beat. “Dance with me?”
    Her stare was pointed. “The last time I danced with you, I somehow ended up in another county and still drunk when I woke in bed—with you and three other men.”
    My lips trembled when the others eyes widened marginally, glancing between us. I shook my head at them, waving a hand, my words slurred. “Nothing happened. Sounds worse than it actually was.”
    “From what we can remember,” Callie muttered in exasperation, tilting her head to the packed dance floor. “There are plenty of eligible bachelors waiting for a party girl like you.” She shook me inside her hold. “Go have fun. That’s what this night is about, bringing everyone together.” Her gaze appeared triumphant, peering at the masses of pulsating dancers. “It’s working out splendidly, too.”
    I scowled at the crowd. “I barely know any of them.”
    “Whose fault is that?”
    Wrinkling my nose, I grumbled, “You’re a pain.”
    “And you’re just drunk enough to quit being anti-social.” She grinned wickedly. “I saw you talking to that Angel.” Her brows waggled. “He didn’t test you, did he?”
    “No.”
    She nodded once. “The real interesting ones normally don’t. Not at first.” She tipped her head to the dance floor again. “Go find him. I saw that look you gave him.”
    King Jerome laughed loudly. “I’m not sure anyone missed it.”
    King Sephove sighed heavily. “I thought he was going to faint.” His stare was a warning, a man looking after his people. “Be nice to him. I think he has a crush.”
    I groaned heavily. “I don’t do crushes.”
    “Then find someone else,” Callie muttered, shoving me a little. “Get out there.”
    My stare was incredulous. “Are you ordering me to have fun?” I jiggled my empty glass. “I am having fun.”
    “With Valan, Lana.” Her tone was patient. “I’m ordering you to have fun with Valan.”
    “Liquor is a much better friend,” I grumbled but stood to my feet slowly, only swaying once, eyeing the dancers. I handed over my empty glass to her. “I don’t like you very much right now.”
    She kicked me on the butt, shoving me forward a step. “Go. You like to dance.”
    She was right on that point...but my head casually swung to one of the men I had been ignoring fairly decently today, my question casual. “You want to dance?”
    Ice blue eyes merely eyed me, running down my body, his nose crinkling once more, his tone
