Angel had been standing at the pool table for some time, watching the two men interact for several minutes. They were both so large, so…handsome. But her eyes had stayed on Slate, observing while his face cycled through a series of emotions from amusement to anger and back again. There was a volatility to him that reminded her of a pendulum swinging violently back and forth. This wasn’t uncommon among shifters, from what she understood; the animals who often seemed dormant inside them were anything but. They were always in there, colouring the shifter’s perception of the world and his surroundings. The grizzly was his soul, protective, powerful and probably occasionally even a little violent.

She wondered how the bear inside made him perceive her; how a woman such as herself must seem to a man with the heart of a grizzly.

As the two men spoke, Slate’s eyes had searched hers out a few times, as though he was speaking about her. So she decided to have some fun with him. She’d always enjoyed dancing, the freedom of moving around to a beat, whether slow or fast. And now she took advantage of the pulsing rhythms coming up through the floor to improvise a dance for him; a sort of faux mating ritual, inviting him to return to her.

Smiling, she swayed her hips, the cue still in hand as she shimmied her body around it. Signalling him to come over, to come play with her. Would he do it? Could he relax enough to let her take him by the hand and move his own body?

And as he walked towards her, beers in hand, the newly formed smile on his face answered the question: he was, it seemed, very happy to be with her.

“What’s that grin about?” she asked, gratefully accepting one stein, her body still gyrating to the beat.

“I dunno. I just realized that life’s pretty good.”

“You only just realized it?” she asked before taking a sip of the refreshing liquid and putting it down. She took his beer and laid it next to hers before grabbing his hand to lead him to an empty spot on the floor, not far from where they stood. “Tell me, why’s life so good?”

“Let’s say that watching you over here, that cue in your hand, a beautiful woman waiting for me—it’s a nice picture, one that I wasn’t sure I’d ever see. I appreciate it is all.”

“Good. So come dance with me,” she said.

He laid his hands on her waist and moved with her, his tall form impressive in its fluidity. Their hips moved together, bodies pressing gently into one another.

“You’re good at this,” she said, her tone breathless and admiring.

“It’s been a while. But I always did enjoy dancing in the old days.”

“I can tell. But a dancing bear—isn’t that some twisted cliché?”

He took her left hand in his right and pulled her closer before twirling her around, sending her spiralling away from him, a peal of feminine laughter rising from her throat.
