Anyway, I’d only be at the bar for twenty more minutes. Some days, Tori and I had shifts that started an hour or two apart. We shared a car, so one of us would end up walking or waiting.
The lack of blood affected her more than it affected me, so I almost always took the fall. She tried to argue, and I knew it killed her to let me do it, but she was hurting more than I was.
Usually, I’d just walk home.
Since it had been three weeks since my last blood bag, exhaustion was winning out. Waiting had sounded a hell of a lot better than walking.
So, I’d made myself at home in a truly lovely barstool.
A thick, muscular body sat down smoothly beside me. I took stock of him from where I sat, without glancing his way.
The massive size of him meant he was definitely a supernatural.
Given that we were in Wildwood, it was safe to assume he was a werewolf.
“Hey,” the bartender said, flashing the man a playful smile.
Maybe she was his mate.
“How’s Ethan? Haven’t seen him in a while.” The man’s voice was low and rumbly. For some ridiculous reason, it made goosebumps break out on my arms.
What the hell was wrong with me?
The bartender’s smile widened. “He’s great. Still trying to talk me into having a pup.”
Maybe they weren’t mated.
“Sounds like him,” the guy said.
The goosebumps spread over my shoulders.
How was it possible for someone’svoiceto be sexy?
Seriously, what was wrong with me?
“Mmhm. I’ll grab your usual.” The bartender stepped away, and the guy set his forearms on the countertop. My gaze slid over thetight white tee stretched across his back, and my nostrils flared as his scent hit me.
Holy shit.
My fangs descended in a heartbeat, my stomach growling ferociously.
Releasing my water glass, I quickly tucked my hands under my thighs.
Awkward?
Yes.
Necessary?
Also yes.
If I didn’t restrain them, I’d likely give in to the urge to grab him and drink from him.
My body warmed as my eyes raked over him again.
Dark blond hair shaved on the sides, but longish on the top.
Thick muscles.
