Chapter 21
Selena pov
When Friday finally came I had to rush from work and head straight home. I got delayed in a phone call with a customer and when I finally was done I had to hurry.
Coming back to the pack house I'm met by Emma.
"Hey what's the rush?" She shouts out after me when I run up the stairs. Taking two steps at a time. "I'm running late and I have to get ready now If I am going to make it there in time.” I answer and get inside my room.
“1 will help you,” she says and rushes after me up the stairs.
I take a shower, while she is going through my shoes to find someone that goes well with the dress. Getting out of the bathroom I put on my underwear and a bathrobe, I need to do the hair and makeup before I put on the dress.
When I am done and dressed I take a look in the mirror.
"You look amazing,” Emma says and I can only agree.
Elijah has a really good taste. The dress is a long evening gown and it shows of my curves just in the right places. I have quite large breasts and an hourglass figure. This dress shows of just enough without being too much.
I put on a scarf over my shoulders and feel ready to go.
"the dress is just perfect. Thanks for your help!" I say and start walking to the door.
“1 will drive you there,” Emma says and follows behind.
" Okay “ We head down and go over to the car. We talk about the hospital all the way in the car and I am glad for the distraction. When we arrive outside the building for the event, Elijah is waiting outside in a black suit. He looks so gorgeous I can't take my eyes off him.
" This is going to be hard,” I say and she looks over to where I am looking.
" Well I have to say he is handsome. Just keep your hands and lips to your self and it will all be fine” she says and chuckles.
"But if you feel like crossing a bridge or two with him I'm on your side. I will be cheering for you" I just shake my head at her words.
"You know nothing will ever happen with him," I tell her and open the door to get outside.
"If you say so!" She says and blows me a kiss in the air while I walk outside. Closing the door I head over to where Elijah stands when he sees me his eyes lit up and that sexy smile makes me weak in my knees.
"You look amazing,” he says and offers his arm to me.
“You to Elijah ” I answer and take his arm. Feeling his body heat close to mine makes my cheek heats up.
When we walk into the room everything is beautifully decorated.
Our colleagues stand in the crowd and we walk over to them.
After dinner, the band starts to play and people get on the dancefloor.
I have been successfully avoiding being in any photo my bosses wanted me to be in. I start to relax a bit and the evening is nice, I have always avoided being photographed. Don't want to leave any trace after me.
" Can I have this dance?” Elijah comes over and asks me. I try to avoid the dance, don't want our bodies to be that close.
"1 won't take no for an answer,” he says and drags me out on the dance floor. And I can't get myself out of this one.
"1am not a good dancer,” I tell him, hoping he would let me pass.
"You don't have to be, just follow me and I will take the lead” his voice comes to my ear and a shiver runs down my body.
He takes me in his arms and we start to sway to the music. I had no idea he was such a good dancer and I start to relax in his arms. Letting him take the lead and just enjoy this moment. When the dance is done he doesn't let go and the next dance he pulls my body closer to his. I rest my head on his shoulder and let me just be here at this moment. I feel his hand on my back pulling me tighter to him and I'm getting weak in my knees. I haven't been this close to another man before and it stirs up feelings in my body I never felt before.
The evening comes to an end and Elijah walks with me outside, we talk about everything and nothing. That has always been a good thing with him, our conversations always flow.
I follow him to his car at the furthest end of the parking lot and we talk for a moment more.
"Well, it's time for me to go home! Thank you for everything tonight, and the dress. See you on Monday!" I say and turn around to walk away when I feel him grab my arm and swirl me around. His hands come to my head and before I even register what's happening his plumpy lips are on mine in a heated kiss. My mind goes blank and I follow his motions.
Get completely lost in my first kiss ever. He pushes his tongue inside my mouth and tastes every inch of me while his other hand comes down to my waist and pulls me flat against him
I don't know where I am anymore when a car honks and jolts me out of my trance. Breaking the kiss I turn around and see it's Emma and Jessie in the car. I quickly leave Elijah and walk over to the car and get inside.
"Well that's one heck of a way to let your mate know you are very much alive and cheating on the mate bond," Emma says and I feel how all blood leaves my head
