Lycan Soulmates #4: Lycan Nights [18+]

Chapter 5

Author's Note; y'all need to watch Meg Myers Jealous Sea music video above, it reminds me of girls falling for our Lycans, plus it's such a good song. 

Angel's POV

Sardonix and I meet when we are both dressed. He has a new suit on. I have my black dress. I can't help thinking we look kind of cute together, as he presses for the lift. I stand close but not too close.

"Where are the others anyway?" I ask him, "You know, the others... the other, um, ha, 'exorcists'," I hold up my fingers and curl two up and down to suggest I think it's just a disguise for their real souls – literal demons.

"We are real exorcists," Sardonix watches the lift doors open and he waits for me to step in, but I'm also waiting for him.

We both step at the same time and our shoulders touch.

In a little awkward dance, Sardonix turns and I turn, we both face the doors as they shut after he presses for a number, and I have somehow managed to stand directly in front of him, so I'm kind of leaning on him a teeny bit.

It was an accident.

I should move off and out of his space.

But my feet feel like lead, I can't move them.

So instead, I kind of... purposefully now, like a bit of a brat, I lean myself back into Sardonix, and he slowly puts a hand on my waist, grabbing my hip around the dress... my nostrils flare and I chew on my lip, but he shoves me off him.

I stumble forward and my hands slam into the doors.

What the fuck was that!

Was he... shy or something? He wasn't shy when he picked me up and spanked me! When we were both naked!

I look back at him, and Sardonix doesn't look irritated... he looks legitimately mad. His eyes flash a deeper demonic red, and he stiffens as he watches me... but he says nothing. Is he even breathing?

I want to ask why but even I don't say anything.

Now both giving each other the silent treatment, I turn away from him, and when the lift reaches the fourth and top floor, it opens and I step out immediately.

"This way," Sardonix rudely slides past me and I expect to see a hall and door ways to different hotel rooms.

Instead, this is the entire top floor.

It's so open, with glass windows looking all around the very center of Dire Wolf City, with a gorgeous view of St. Michael's Cathedral.

I shuffle forward a few more steps and halt as I take in the dark floorboards, the fire place, the den-like feel of the whole open living area... it stretches the whole way across. I see a grand piano, artwork on the wall, a chandelier made of... what I hope isn't bone, but might be... and the theme is very fucking cozy. I walk to the open backed couches, they're like massive pads... like... very strange designs. Fluffy rugs. This is like the ultimate sleep-over venue.

I now watch Sardonix's back as he walks through toward the open kitchen and admits, "...congratulations, you're the first female to ever walk in here..." he sounds so menacing for no reason, I roll my eyes while he's not looking.

I slowly turn around and at the back end I see some bedrooms.

Mostly this place seems unlived in.

"Why here?" I ask.

"This place has so many spells protecting the boundaries, it's impenetrable to rot," Sardonix explains, so professional, switching off any personable traits as he opens a cupboard and takes out a large glass.
