Her eyes widened. "You really did find me in the crowd."

"Told you I would." I leaned in closer, dipping my mouth to her ear. "It was hard to keep my eyes off you."

It was the fucking truth. Knowing she was up there standing, wearing my number. Had to make her proud of wearing it.

Her hand landed on my chest, slowly running up it until she reached my shoulder. "You still hungry?"

"You have no idea." And I wasn't starving for food. No, for her. I was hungry for my mate.

"Then let's go." She stepped back. "Before all the good places shut down for the night. Oh, and I'm driving."

"Why are you driving?"

"Because I'm not leaving my baby out here and you didn't even bring a car."

"How the hell did you know that?"

A grin spread across her lips. "You aren't the only one that can take note of something, Zane. Come on before I change my mind."

"Like that is going to happen."

She shrugged her shoulders. "It could."

"Couldn't."

She pushed my shoulder lightly and spun on her heel. "Just get in the car, Harris."

Chapter Forty-six

ALLIE

While things were coming to Zane and me wellthere wasn't much to tell. We had a dinner and we talked, and I couldn't lie and say I didn't enjoy it because I did, but then Monday rolled around, and it was like the weekend never happened.

He didn't look at me.

He didn't talk to me.

And any guilt that I had for playing games with him was wiped. He was still the same old Zane, hot and cold.

So, when the weekend rolled around again, and Blake offered to take me out, I didn't turn him down.

The bass was thick, and the drinks were flowing. Chase had ended up joining us, and it only made the night more fun. It was like old times. Times I wasn't meant to remember.

I was bouncing on my heels, drink in hand and Blake's arm wrapped around my waist. Club Midnight was packed as the hot weather had everyone out.

I was mimicking the words to the song to Blake, making him laugh when my body tensed. This couldn't be happening.

After that small amount of time spent with Zane, my inner wolf had picked up on him and his emotions. It had annoyed me all week, and it was beyond me how only a few days with him could cause my wolf to tune into him so quickly.

But she had.

And right now, she was feeling him.

I threw my arm around Blake's head, bringing our faces closer. His hand slipping down. We kept dancing, well more like grinding up against each other, but we both knew it meant nothing. Blake and I were like that, we could flirt, strip down naked in front of each other, but still have a friendship because we were never going to be anything more.

Zane was angry; I could feel his rage flow through my blood, and it only drove me to cling to Blake tighter.
