Don’t Look Back by Bishop Bernal

Book 1 Chapter 5

They all gave me a once over and seemed satisfied with what they saw. One caught my eye though. He was the tallest of the group and had dark brown hair that hung in his eyes just like the way Luke’s hair hung in his eyes. Wait no I couldn’t think about Luke!

A full month had passed and I hadn’t seen him. Which was a good thing, something I had to repeat to my heart and wolf daily.

Focusing my attention back on the brown haired guy I watched as he and his friends looked over some boards. I could tell they really weren’t here to buy just look around.

I jumped as Andy’s phone ringed making him scowl.

“Hello,” he muttered.

His face grew darker and he glared at nothing. “NO I will not do a private dance for you!” he nearly yelled into the phone.

I slapped a hand over my mouth to silent my laughter.

He glared at me and covered the phone “Shut up! Go do your job,” he muttered motioning to the guys.

Biting my l*p to keep from laughing I quickly moved out of Andy’s hitting zone and walked over to the drool worthy men.

“Hey you need any help?” I asked smiling suddenly grateful I was wearing my favorite white denim skirt and my blue spaghetti top. 1 pushed my dark, long hair over my shoulder watching as all their eyes zeroed in on my chest

Really? Were all men the same? Ha stupid question. Well…..ok not counting gay guys.

I crossed my chest and raised an eyebrow.

All four of them looked up sheepishly. Yeah I knew god had “gifted me in the chest department. I was very aware of it during gym class while we ran the track. Just to let you know….it sucks. It feels like I have to pin the freaking things down. There always in the way of everything!

“Uhh no were just looking….my name’s Cameron” the brown haired god smiled. Okay maybe I was exaggerating a little on the god part, but this guy was HOT!

“Not as hot as Luke.” My wolf whispered in the back of my head.

“Shut up!” I told it sternly.

Yes I was reduced to talking to myself.

“And this is RJ. Liam, and Mike,” Cameron informed me.

I smiled easily “Nice to meet you my name is Emma.“

They all smiled and repeated it at the same time. It was kind of creep

Suddenly the bell ringed again as the door was pushed open. A burst of wind pushed the guys scent toward me making my eyes

widen.

“Holy shit your wolves!” I exclaimed before realizing what I had said. 1 slapped a hand over my mouth and blushed looking behind

them to see if the new customers had heard me.

I spotted two older girls who were in a deep conversation and didn’t appear to be freaked out. I breathed a sigh of relief. Great going Em almost freaked out some fitmans, because I really needed the added stress of a council meeting on my shoulders.

I jumped startled as the guys all suddenly closed in on me. But I didn’t feel threatened just amused as they inhale my scent probably committing it to memory.

“So we got a little pup here do we,” Cameron grinned suddenly leaning forward his nose running up my n*eck. I shivered but quickly leaned away my face heating. He chuckled and winked at me.

“Da mn it.” One of the guys muttered sounding disappointed.

“What?” I asked.

“He just called dibs on you. I wanted dibs!” He whined glaring at Cameron.

I laughed and shook my head “I am a person you know. You can’t just claim me like a prize ”

“Beg to differ you’re a pretty good looking prize.” Cameron winked.

I rolled my eyes

“Everything okay here?” Andy said suddenly appearing his arm wrapping around my shoulders pulling me slightly behind him.

“Yeah were fine,” Rj said while Cameron narrowed his eyes as Andy’s arm around me.

I shoved Andy’s arms off me muttering “Beyoncé” under my breath were his human ears were still able to hear.

He snapped his head toward me sharply, his eyes narrowed. I stared back the silent challenge declared. Of course I won

He sucked his teeth and sighed deeply. “Fine.”

Turning sharply he stalked toward the girls. I smirked

“Uh what was that about?” Cameron asked raising an eyebrow. “Nothing, just asserting dominance.” I smiled at him.

“So when do you get off? Cameron asked.

“Why?” I asked suspiciously.

“Because the guys and I were heading down to the beach later for a bonfire. Bunch of people are going to be there and I wondered if you wanted to go with me?”

1 felt a little unsure I mean I’d become extremely paranoid to who was around me and where I went. I really didn’t want another run

in with Luke. But…..maybe Cameron could help me forget about my sick desires. Yeah maybe.

“Sure sounds like fun.” I smiled brightly making him smile in return.

“My shift ends at seven.” I told him hoping that wasn’t going to be a problem.

He smiled easily “Perfect see you then Emma.”

The rest of the guys gave their goodbyes and were out the door.
