Chapter 6: Tolerate It

The walk up to the restaurant, Calypso and Harlow had somewhat listened in to the conversations behind them and quickly realized that Aiden and Luke were very much focused on climbing the corporate ladder. They weren't kiss asses per say, but they were definitely saying the things they felt would get them in the good graces of the biggest names in the business world. Harlow could tell Damien was both annoyed and bored, but she watched as he answered their questions in the most politically correct manner.

Damien sat at the head of the table, while Wes sat to his left with Aiden and Luke. Val sat to his right next to Harlow, Declan and Calypso. The men couldn't take their attention off of Harlow too long. There was something going on with her and Declan and they didn't know, but knew they didn't like it one bit. 'I'm going to kill him,' Wes said angrily through their mind link.

'You're not, because I'm pretty sure that will make our mate angry. They're just friends I'm sure,' Damien responded while replying to yet another question from Aiden. 'I think Damien is right. Besides, Declan can't seem to get his attention off of Calypso.' Val informed taking a look at the mortal man engrossed by the succubus. 'She needs to be careful. Her bloodline is so pure and her powers so strong that she could wreck his poor little mortal life if she wanted.' Damien locked eyes with Calypso who simply offered up a small smile and continued her conversation with Harlow.

Their food arrived shortly after and Harlow did a quick dance in her seat. They were so glad they were right about their assumption. She so clearly loved Italian food as she took a bite of her lasagna. The moan she let out was quiet, but due to their super hearing they heard it clear as day. 'She's killing me,' Val said as he sat beside her. He wanted to touch her. He wanted to kiss her. He wanted to fuck her and brand her as his own. "How's the food?" The waiter asked with a smile.

They all gave their praises. "I'm glad you like it." The men watched as the waiter simply addressed Harlow with a wanting smile. They could tell Harlow was oblivious and focused on her food, but his gaze angered them. "That will be all," Damien said curtly causing the waiter to snap out of it and head back to his station. Calypso gave a slight chuckle and shook her head at them causing them to each roll their eyes. They watched as Harlow tried and failed to engage Aiden and Luke into her conversation with Calypso and Declan and further confirmed the dislike of the demon and werewolf.

It amazed them that Harlow and Declan had gotten the job. There were a handful of mortals that worked at Draven, Inc. 98% of the staff were supernatural. The very name Draven meant children of the darkness. Declan was a referral by a werewolf in Operations that went to the same gym as him and sparked a friendship. They weren't sure how Harlow heard about it, but they were grateful she had. They got an opportunity to see their mate on a daily basis and get closer to her.

They were finishing up their meals when Declan and Calypso both reached for the last piece of bread. Her hand barely touched his and she quickly pulled back, but the damage was done. Declan let out the most sensual moan before coming in his pants. Calypso looked up at three angry faces and sighed. "Dec, are you okay?" He visibly shook from the might of his orgasm. He was still riding the high and couldn't hear past the blood rushing in his ears. Aiden and Luke seemed to chuckle at the situation causing Calypso to glare at them.

She knew she could hypnotize them if she wanted and have them eating out of the palm of her hands and wiping the stupid grins off their face, but she didn't want to turn up her power and hurt nearby mortals. It was at its lowest, but that was more than enough to enamor them. "Declan," Harlow said touching his shoulder and he shook a bit before looking at her with wide eyes. "I'm going to pay for lunch," Damien called out. "You all head back to the office."

Aiden and Luke stood up with a worried Calypso. "Are you okay?" Harlow whispered to Declan who shook his head no. "Harlow you head back with the others we can handle Mr. McKay." Wes said, but she wasn't moving. Declan was her friend and she wanted to make sure he was okay. "We're fine." Harlow simply said before turning her attention back to Declan. The three shared a look before turning their attention back to the male mortal who was the victim of a succubus' touch.
