Her heart was thudding in her chest. She’d never had such a reaction to a male before.
“Are you okay?” Annie asked as Demi sat in the empty seat.
Demi tore her gaze away from the males who were singing and looking right at her. She smiled at Annie. “Very.”
“Uh oh, someone’s in love,” Annie said with a singsong voice, her eyes dancing.
“What?” Hemi demanded.
“The guys in the band are watching her,” Annie said. “And she’s watching them. The question is, which one?”
Demi looked at Annie. She was mated to Hemi, but they hadn’t been together long. She was human so she didn’t really understand about being a shifter, although she tried to. While she didn’t know what it was like to have a beast banging around in her head and body, Annie had been drawn to Hemi when they’d first met so she understood the pull of heart-matches.
“I think both.”
Hemi snarled and his gaze narrowed, darting between her and the stage. “Two? Are you serious? That’s just not done.”
Annie whacked him on the arm. “You can’t tell her who to like or mate with or whatever. She’s allowed to make her own romantic choices just like you did.”
Hemi inhaled and exhaled on a growl. “Sorry.”
Demi grinned. Hemi didn’t apologize much. He was a male who thought he was right most of the time. Being with Annie had softened him up considerably.
“Don’t worry about me, okay?” Demi said. “I haven’t even met them yet. It’s just I feel this incredible pull to them and it’s hard for me to concentrate and sit still. I want to run up there and talk to them.”
China snorted. “Yeah,talk. Sure.”
Hemi made a face. “Let’s change the subject.”
“Oh, but it’s so neat,” Annie said. “It’s like a romance novel. Your eyes met across the bar. Or…three pairs of eyes met. Is that a thing?”
“Clearly it is,” China said. “So, I’m sorry I said your mates were hot. But it’s just the two of them, right? You’re not claiming all four? Because that drummer is giving me lots of good vibes.”
“Wow, four. That’s a lot of dicks,” Annie said.
Hemi, who’d been taking a drink of beer, choked and started coughing, which made Demi and China kick off into a fit of laughter. Annie slapped Hemi on the back a few times as he tried to get his breath and stop coughing. When he had himself under control, he said, “I thought we were going to change the subject.”
“All right, all right,” Annie said. She rested her head on Hemi’s shoulder. “Do you think the band takes requests?”
“Probably not for their audition,” Hemi said. “If they get the job, we can ask about it.”
“I hope they play another slow song. I want to dance with you.”
Hemi kissed the top of her head and Demi turned from the sweet scene to look at the two who had captivated her beast.
Her lioness sighed happily. Their song ended and they smoothly transitioned into another one. The dance floor filled up as a ballad played, and Annie and Hemi hit the floor to dance.
“Just the two males,” Demi said to China, picking up their conversation.
“Which ones?”
“Lead singer and piano player.”
“Nice. I still like the drummer.”
Farrah, one of the waitresses, appeared. “What can I get ya?”
“Just soda for me,” Demi said.
