Chapter 12
Roxy had never been more nervous in her whole life. She felt like a bug underneath a microscope, although the guy at the end of the table was making her feel like she was a naked bug. That last bit didn’t make sense since bugs were naturally naked. Now she was talking nonsense to herself. Clearly overly nervous.
Then Blaze was stepping in next to her. She caught Julie’s eyes, the other woman was smiling at her. It made her feel marginally better. Although, Julie was sitting at the other end of the table. Nowhere near the open seats. Oh shit!
Blaze was talking. Damn! She hadn’t been paying attention. He was introducing her to people at the table.
The guy sitting next to Julie smiled and gave a small wave. Shit a brick but she needed to pay attention. She forced herself to focus.
“Next to Coal is Pauline and Flame. Flame heads up the Pinnacle warriors and Pauline is his mate; she’s also human.”
What were Pinnacle warriors? She’d have to ask Blaze later.
“Hi. Nice to meet you,” the tiny blonde smiled at Roxy.
“You too,” she managed to get out. It felt like she was grimacing rather than smiling. Her muscles were just too tense for casual hellos.
“That’s Lisa and Scorch. Scorch is also a Pinnacle warrior and Lisa, his mate, is a human.” The dark-haired Lisa was sitting on the big guy’s lap. Neither of them acknowledged that they had heard the introduction and from where she was standing, it looked like his hand was up her skirt.
“A pleasure to meet you both.” Roxy quickly averted her eyes as his hand disappeared even higher up her thigh.
She recognized the next lady. “Sue, how are you?”
The other woman’s chestnut-colored hair curled about her face. She smiled but it didn’t quite meet her eyes. She didn’t look happy to see Roxy. That couldn’t be right. “Hello.” Her voice was flat. The other woman was probably just nervous as well.
“I’m sure you remember Lava.” It was more than likely her imagination but Blaze’s voice became a little deeper as he locked eyes with the big shifter. The guy had wanted to fight Blaze for her.
The shifter gave a nod.
“Are the two of you together?” Roxy blurted.
Lava smirked, he put his hand around Sue’s shoulders and drew her a little closer to him. “I had to take down a couple of others in order to win her, but yes, this beauty is my human.”
Sue seemed to tense as he touched her, she even folded her arms and turned away from him with her knees. Roxy found the whole dynamic quite interesting. Lava didn’t seem to notice or maybe Roxy was reading too much into things. More than likely the latter.
“Then we have Burn, Heat and Crimson.” Blaze looked at each of the huge males in turn. “Aside from Flame and Lava, these males are my best Pinnacle warriors.”
Although, Burn and Crimson were ogling the hell out of her, Heat was the one who was all out undressing her.
