She’d heard a rock song when he’d first opened the door, but it had ended with applause. “Yeah. I’m meeting Hemi and Annie.”
“If you’re in the mood to dance later, give me a holler.”
She smiled up at the tall male who was a year younger than her. He was cute in that boy next door sort of way, but she wasn’t looking for anything—serious or otherwise—at the moment. A dance with Kyson would probably lead to more if she let it, and she didn’t want to open that can of worms right now.
Not when she had no clue if Benecio would come looking for her again.
Sure, the alpha had been threatened by her father, brother, and her own alpha, but he didn’t seem like the sort of male to take no for an answer. No matter how many people said it on her behalf. Benecio believed she was meant to be his alpha mate, but he wasn’t her heart-match and she hadn’t been matched up with him by Abbie, the pride match-maker.
Benecio was cuckoo bananas and she honestly hoped she never saw him again.
“I’ll let you know,” she said to Kyson as she walked by him and into the bar.
The door shut behind her and she moved forward, scanning the patrons to find her brother, his mate, and China. She saw China, who was waving an arm in the air like she was trying to land a plane. Demi smiled and walked forward.
A song started, and a male sang a few words.
Demi wasn’t even sure what the words were, only that the person speaking them made her lioness sit up and pay attention. Demi stared at the stage where a group of four males were playing a ballad. The one in front with the guitar was singing, and his voice was just…amazing. It called to her on a deep level. She took a step toward the stage, her gaze on the singer.
Then the piano player joined in on the chorus, and Demi’s entire body jolted with awareness.
Holy hell, the two males were her heart-matches!
Her lioness was purring and yowling for Demi to go to them, but she was in shock and couldn’t move.
Was it possible that she’d walked into the bar on a random Friday night, and the group auditioning to be the house band contained two males just for her?
And what the hell did it mean that she was sure she had two heart-matches and not just one?
Couldshe mate two males?
She wasn’t aware of a female having two mates in the pride before, but it suddenly seemed like a very good idea. Even if it wasn’t the norm.
Her stomach clenched as a few sexy images popped into her head of the three of them rolling around in bed together.
The lead singer had dark hair, cut short on the sides and left longer on top. It was casually styled like he’d run his hands through it a few times. He was wearing tight jeans and an even tighter T-shirt, his muscular arms flexing as he played. Her gaze slipped to the piano player. He looked similar to the singer, like they could be brothers. His hair was a little longer, a little darker, but he was just as broad-shouldered and muscular as the lead singer.
The other two males had made zero impact on her lioness.
But those two…yikes. It was taking a considerable effort not to leap onto the stage and tackle them.
“Demi, you okay?” China asked as she waved a hand in front of Demi’s face.
Demi shook her head and blinked rapidly. “Yeah, I’m good. Great, actually.”
“Come join us. The band is awesome. And the guys are super hot!”
Demi snarled and felt her lioness try to push through her skin. “Watch it.”
“Whoa, your eyes are gold. What’s wrong?”
Demi mentally grabbed her lioness by the scruff and gave her a good shake. She couldn’t attack her bestie in the bar because she made an off-handed comment about the males. What she could do, however, was redirect the conversation.
“Let’s sit,” Demi suggested.
China nodded and turned, leading the way back to the four-person table where Hemi and Annie were seated.
Disjointed chords came from both the piano and guitar and Demi stumbled a step before stopping and looking at the stage. While the two males recovered quickly, it was clear that the lead singer and piano player had noticed her. Their gazes were on her as she continued on her way to the table. She was working on autopilot, and only stopped because Hemi put his hand out and grabbed her arm.
