Arya’s POV
I turned my head frantically looking for the nearest exit but saw none. Oh no. this is not good.
I turned to Kelsi and she had a huge grin on her face.
The guy in the black T-shirt found a bottle, and People cheered him on, and the game began.
My heart raced and I became all sweaty. I squinted and shrunk back any time the bottle was spun. When I looked up, I swear I could see a smirk on Chase’s face, as he stared at me. I wish I could wipe that look off his face but, right now, all I wanted was to be an object or disappear entirely.
The first bottle spin, made everyone gasp. It landed on a girl and a guy I knew when I found newly came to the black moon pack. So far I could understand people had termed him a loser because of the way he dressed. People kept staring at another guy seated close by. Kelsi whispered into my eyes, that was her boyfriend.
She stared around at the boy and then at the bottle of alcohol. It was a known fact, that if one took even if it was a shot, you would be carried home or put in a cab.
“That is her boyfriend” someone shouted. I looked at the guy and he was already turning red. People waited for them as they stared at each other.
“Kiss kiss kiss!” the guy who began the game chanted and people joined in. The people egged them on. The guy looked around and moved closer. Then he slammed his lips on hers. The girls squealed aloud. More people joined the game and they gushed on seeing the Alpha amongst them.
The bottle was spun again and this time, it fell on two girls. I think they were best friends. One looked around and I spotted her a guy she was staring at. Probably her boyfriend. She moved closer to the other girl and the gasp from everyone was loud enough for the deaf. I looked away as my heartbeat was. Will she do it? I wondered.
“Is she drunk?” someone said aloud.
“Are you going to kiss her?” someone asked.
“Her boyfriend is staring at her,” another said. The mood was intense. My heart beat fast. The girl kept staring at the other girl and everywhere kept whispering.
The other girl immediately made for the bottle of brandy and drank more than, two shots. Some people booed and others gasped. She stood up and grabbed her jacket.
“Where are you going?” someone asked her.
“Hey,” Kelsi nudged me.
“Huh,” I turned to her.
“What is with you and the alpha?” she whispered and immediately we looked at him, he was taking a sip of his drink but he still had his eyes on me. He didn’t cower or look away. I was the one who did.
“No… nothing” I stammered as I fiddled with my dress. Kelsi chuckled.
“It’s not funny” I muttered.
“Spin! Spin! Spin!” people cheered as the bottle was spun around. It landed on someone else. While the crowd egged the person to do the dare, I looked and saw him staring at me. He sat in this peaceful manner. While I had sweat in my pits and palms and a racing heart, like that of a car, Chase looked the exact opposite of me. He had this, I don’t give an F look as we looked around, while throwing in, some mischievous smirk my way. He made me squirm in my seat. It’s been a while since a guy made me feel butterflies.
“Oh now it’s getting boring” someone announced.
“Let’s spin one more time,” someone said.
I had lost my anxiety for the game as I was, not picked. When they spun, the bottle I wasn’t paying attention. It was when I heard gasps and people were looking at me, that I knew I should have declined Kelsi’s offer to come hang with her.
I looked up and there was my biggest fear. The bottle had spun pointing to me and Chase. It was like I had just been smacked in the face.
For some weird reason, Angus and the other guy named Hercules smirked, staring at him. Mika didn’t look pleased at all.
I wanted to run. Kelsi and the other girls beside me cheered on, they gasped as they covered their hands with their mouths. Kelsi began to chant. “Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!” and people joined in. I nudged her.
“Whose side are you on” I hissed. Watching Chase’s advisor, Mika, shoot me down with her eyes made my stomach threaten an eject button.
“Do you want me to come to you?” Chase said to me. His voice was deep and velvety. That was my first time hearing him speak soft and flirty, unlike his commanding tone. The girls giggled and everyone stared at me and him.
The girls gasped and I looked around for someone to save me. I eyed the alcohol. I was melting in embarrassment.
Mika rolled her eyes.
People gave way as Chase made his way to me. With his towering height, he stooped to my level as I stood. He looked into my eyes and then his eyes lingered on my lips. It was like I was looking at everyone but it was Chase I could see.
He leaned in and held the back of my head. His eyes were still on my lips as he crashed his lips on mine. He sucked my low lip. His tongue expertly explored my mouth. With his hand at the back of my head, he has control of the kiss. My tongue cautiously strokes his tongue, joining him in that erotic dance, he seduces me into.
When he released me, people gasped.
“Damn that was hot” someone shouted. I ducked my face under my hair.
“Your smell of cigar” I muttered. I heard the others gasp at my statement.
He gave me a smug smile. “Should we continue after I brush my teeth?”
The girls squealed and the boys cheered Chase on as my cheeks were the perfect shade of a tomato.
