The Dark Thrall Mating Olivia

Chapter Thirteen

Sid

Walking up to the bar, I waved my hand. Flagging down the bartender, he locked eyes with me. Dipping his head to let me know that he would be with me in a moment.

I leaned against the bar, looking out into the crowded club. Cade was here somewhere with his mate, and I could smell the hints of his scent lingering in the air. Mixing with the other scents of those from the pack. There were other shifters here too, but I wasn't thinking about them.

My focus was on Everly. She was sitting at a table near the dance floor, her eyes on the crowd that was watching the band. She looked stunning tonight, the way that black dress hugged her curves. Her blonde hair falling around her slim shoulders in soft, wavy curls.

I was lucky to be here with her, and I knew it.

There were men and women watching her hungrily. Making my beast rise to the surface. I didn't mind them watching, but I didn't want them to touch her.

Everly was mine, even if she didn't know it yet.

"Evening, what can I get for you?" The bartender asked, pulling my attention away from Everly. "Two beers, please."

"Sure thing." Noah said, grabbing two bottles of beer from the fridge beneath the bar. He popped the lids off before handing them to me. "Want me to open a tab for you, Sid?" "Thanks. I want to make sure Evy has a good night. That she can let her loose." I lifted my beer to him, and he nodded.

"I got you. Tabs open, you can settle at the end of the night."

"Thanks, man." I said, taking a sip of my beer and turning away from Noah. He was pack and the two of us trained together from time to time. I looked over at Evy, a guy with dark hair was standing beside her, motioning to the dance floor.

She shook her head and smiled at him as she pointed over to me at the bar. The guy waved and spoke to her for a moment before heading off to find another partner to dance with.

I made my way over to the table, handing Evy a beer. Her fingers brushed against mine, and sparks rose along my skin at her touch. I closed my eyes, sucking in a breath before opening them again to look at Everly.

"You okay?"

"Yeah." I slid onto the bar stool beside her. Taking a sip of my beer. "I see you have some admirers tonight."

Everly laughed, her eyes flickering towards the guy who had found someone to dance with. He and his dance partner were on the dance floor, moving together.

"I guess so. But I told him I was here with you."

"Don't worry, I'll keep you busy." I smirked, bumping my shoulder against hers.

"I know you will." She grinned, lifting her beer up and taking a long drink from the bottle as her eyes moved over to the dance floor. She swayed slightly in her seat, the sensual rock music pulling her in the same way that it was me.

I watched her, taking in the curve of her neck and the way her hair was falling over her shoulder. How her brown eyes sparkled in the dim lights of the club. My mind was racing with thoughts of how I wanted to touch her, how I wanted to taste every inch of her.

My hands itched to explore her body, and my lips yearned to press against hers. It felt like the

time we'd had away from each other only made me crave her more.

Evy's body was like a magnet, pulling me closer to her with an irresistible force.

Finishing off my beer, I sat the empty bottle on the table. Everly looked away from the band, and I held my hand out for her. "Dance with me?"

Without saying anything, Everly stood up and took my hand. Letting me pull her out onto the dance floor. I spun her around and she let out a giggle before tucking her body against mine. The two of us moved together to the beat, her curves pressing against me in all the right places. I loved the way that Everly and I just seemed to fit together.

To pieces that were made to be intertwined. Made for each other.

We moved effortlessly, our bodies in sync as we swayed to the music. I felt my heart rate quicken

as I pressed my lips to the delicate skin of her neck, the sweet spot where, when she was ready, I would claim her as mine.

My dick twitched to life at the thought of Evy being mine. Of my mark being on her throat and her mark on me. It was enough to make me want to drag her into the bathroom and fuck her until she was screaming for me. Until everyone here knew that she was mine.

I nipped at her throat, and she let out a soft moan. "Sid."

"Mmm, Evy." I smiled against her skin. My hand moved to her lower back to press her tighter against me. So that she could feel just how much dancing with her was turning me on.

Her hips swayed to the beat, and I closed my eyes, letting myself drown in her nearness. In the feel of her arms as they wrapped around my neck, holding me close to her.

The music changed as the band started their next song, and Everly pulled back slightly. She lifted her beer to her lips and finished off the last of it before pouting at the bottle.

"Don't worry, Evy. I'll get you another one." I pecked a kiss to her cheek, letting my hands rest on her hips for just a moment as I tried to get my body back under control.

"Can you get me something fruity this time?" She asked, biting her lower lip between her teeth. "What do you have in mind?" I asked, feeling the curve of her hips beneath my thumbs. "Sex on the beach."

"You're missing Cami, huh? That's her favorite drink." I said, my lips tilting in a half-smile. It was endearing to me how much she liked her roommate, and I wished that she would just make a

move.

"Yes, she hasn't texted me." She pouted.

"She will." I pecked my lips to hers one last time. "I'll grab you a drink, Evy. Why don't you text her?"

"She might be busy."

I lifted an eyebrow at her and pressed my lips together. Busy? We both knew that Cami was at

the dorms studying. "Just shoot her a text. If she's busy, she won't respond. If she's not, she'll text you. Either way, it's a win."

"Okay." I'm just going to dip into the hallway." Evy held out her hand for me and I pulled her phone from my back pocket. Handing it over to her, she turned away, making her way to the hallway that led to the bathrooms.

I watched her go before heading over to the bar and getting us another drink. Hopefully, Cami would text her back, and Evy could relax. I didn't know if it was her nervousness about her roommate that was making her anxious, but I could feel it.

It felt like something big was changing in our world. And I shot a quick prayer up to the gods that everything would be okay.
