"Are you going to get tipsy for me?" I called out.

"I don't think you want me tipsy."

"Why not?"

"It's breeding season. The more alcohol I drink, the hornier I'll get,"he said into my mind."And the less sense I'll have to remind myself why I need to stay in control."

"Why do you need to stay in control?"

"You're tiny. Fragile."

"I'm not tiny or fragile."

He gave me a look.

"Fine, I'm tiny next to you. I think I've established that I can handle you at your roughest, though. Haven't I?"

His gaze dragged down to my tits. He didn't care that they were smaller than they'd been before I turned. The man had made it clear he was still obsessed.

"Yeah, Trouble. You've proven it."

"Then don't worry about it. Drink if you want to drink."

Nolan and Oren came jogging over. Nolan wore a wild grin, with his shirt missing as usual, and his jeans unbuttoned.

Oren's hair was a mess, but he didn't seem quite as drunk as his mate.

Nolan flung his arms around Maverick, squashing Bloom against his shoulder and making her laugh. Mav was grinning too as he maneuvered his Omega's body away from my best friend's face.

Nolan's voice slurred as he exclaimed about the fight, and Oren plopped down between me and Maverick.

Rhone pulled me up onto his lap before the other vampire's side collided with mine.

"You okay?" I asked Oren.

"I'm good. I get bloodthirsty with this many people around, but the booze helps. Do you mind?" He reached for my drink. I'd only taken a sip, so I handed it over.

Rhone tried to give me his second drink, but it was almost gone. I didn't like spicy alcohol anyway, so I didn't take it.

He drained his cup and set me down on the couch next to Oren before striding back to the bar.

"I can't believe he let go of you," Oren said.

"Same."

He took a long drink. It was almost gone when he pulled the cup away from his lips and slouched back against the couch. "Breeding season treating you well?"

I raised my eyebrows. "You'rereallydrunk if you're asking about my sex life."

"Nah. Rhone's just... Rhone. No one really knows what he does for breeding season. People get curious."

"Then yes,breeding seasonis treating me well. I'm not sure how I'm going to manage a few days full of sex, but I guess we'll figure it out."

"The wolves get really enthusiastic. It's fun. If he's decent in bed, you'll like it."

"What if something happens with the investment company while everyone's out of commission for a few days? It hasn't been that long since Ozzy was killed."

Oren shrugged. "I'm sure Mav and Rhone figured something out already. We all know when it's coming. The date's not a secret."
