“Best.Sister.Ever.”










Chapter Two

Juni slid onto a barstool, heart pounding like she was getting ready to do something naughty.She and Clover had just moved into their little house, and now that her sister had stability, tonight was the night she would start living.

The Unicorn had a warmth to it that invited people in.The dim interior offered many nooks and crannies for couples to hide in, and when she found a lover perhaps she’d be just like them.Then a scent caught her attention.Something ...sweet, with a touch of spice thrown in.

“Are you old enough to be sitting there?”

Juni looked up into eyes so pale they looked almost silver.“I’m twenty-three.”

The man was beautiful.Light blond hair, muscles that strained against his shirt.The scent, she realized, came from him.It didn’t take a genius to realize what it meant.This man was her mate.She felt the pulse down into her soul, but along with that shocking revelation was the knowledge he wasn’t a wolf.In fact, she couldn’t smell any type of shifter hormone on him at all.Her mate, apparently, was a human.

“In that case, what’s your poison?”

“I don’t know,” she replied.“I’ve never had a drink before.”

His eyebrows shot up.“Well, we need to fix that right away.Usually, I can tell what a person’s favorite drink of choice is.I’ve never worked with a blank canvas.”He tilted his head to study her.“You like chocolate?”

“Who doesn’t?”

“Then I’ve got the perfect drink.”

In a silver shaker, he mixed together a few ingredients.Closed it and shook it a few times then poured the dark liquid into a stemmed glass that had a wide, shallow bowl that formed into an inverted cone.He placed the drink in front of her.

“This is a chocolatini,” he said.“Best if it’s sipped and not guzzled.”

Following his advice, she took a sip.Her eyes widened.“Oh, my gosh, this is amazing.”

He smiled.“Isn’t it?”

When he walked away to help a few other patrons, she couldn’t help but watch and her gaze fell to his ass.She certainly didn’t want a mate, but maybe he wouldn’t mind helping her other little problem.Her V-card.The first time was going to suck, she knew that, but he seemed older so maybe he would know what to do to make itnotsuck so much.

Contemplating how to ask him, she continued drinking.The more she sipped, the more she liked it, and it didn’t take long for her to finish.When the glass was empty, she wondered if it would look silly to lick the glass.

“You’re done.”
