CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Never play drinking games with vampires. Especially if you’re the only one drinking.

A lesson I quickly learned. Rogue challenged me to take a drink every time I missed a shot, lost a game, or otherwise screwed up. What he failed to tell me before we started playing was that he was a pool shark. Even with Hex helping me out, I failed miserably.

My tolerance for alcohol was far better than my ability to play pool. Eventually I’d had enough of the game I couldn’t win. I tossed my cue down on the table in surrender. “I quit. If I play another game I’ll be passed out on the floor.”

A definite exaggeration. I felt the happy buzz of liquor in my veins but I was by no means drunk. Although I started to second guess that when I let Rogue pull me onto the dance floor. I didn’t dance.

Packed with people, Rogue took my hand, drawing me through the throng of bodies to an open space big enough for the two of us to squeeze in. Both arms slid around my waist, holding me close without pressing me tight against him. The rock band lighting up the stage played loud and aggressive music catchy enough for dancing, if one was the type.

I draped an arm casually around Rogue’s neck, letting him guide my body in a sensual rhythm. Those deep hazel green eyes peered into me, a sparkle in their depths. Clever and funny, we’d hit it off as soon as we met two years ago, becoming fast friends.

But with him studying my lips like he wanted to kiss me, I had to ask myself if Rogue had always been this sexy. Or maybe I hadn’t let myself see him that way, trying my best to maintain my lone wolf status. Perhaps it was time to let that go.

“Doesn’t it feel good to be the one enjoying yourself for a change instead of cleaning up after everyone else?” Rogue cocked his head to one side, catching himself as he glanced down at my cleavage. He jerked his eyes back to mine.

I nodded, enjoying his attention. “It does. I should probably take more nights off.”

“Agreed. You should get out more. The bar has dominated a lot of your time since Quincy left. It’s ok to take time out to enjoy yourself.” The music hit harder and Rogue boldly tugged me tighter against him.

I slid my other arm around his neck, wondering what Rogue would be like in bed. Did vampires really do it better as he and Hex liked to occasionally remind me? Would he be able to help me leave Arsen behind and embrace the unknown future?

That was too much to put on one person. It wasn’t up to Rogue to free me of shackles I could never escape. It was up to me to learn to live with them.

And yet, when he lowered his head to kiss me, I threw myself headlong into it, desperate to lose myself in him.
