Mated to the Alpha Queen (Book 12 of the Regal Eclipse Pack Series)

Chapter 7

Five Years Later

Cade Asgrim followed Kyra inside of the bar, sighing internally. He knew exactly how this night was going to go, but she'd insisted on going.

He went one way, while she went another, and settled down at a small table in the corner where he could watch the room and her. A server approached and he ordered a drink.

Kyra walked up to the bar and ordered her own drink. She looked good tonight in a tight little black dress that hugged all of her curves. Her lean legs were bare and made to look even better by the black stilettos she wore. Her long brown hair hung down around her like a shield.

She lifted the drink to her lips as she turned, leaning back against the bar, and surveying the room. She was looking for one thing tonight, something she really didn't want, but she was stubborn enough to keep looking anyway.

Cade spent the next few hours watching her and waiting for her to finally make a move. She'd had four drinks by this time, but he knew they wouldn't affect her. She was fine, sort of. He knew she really wasn't, but nothing could be done about that. His job was mostly just to keep an eye on her and then pick up her pieces when this all went wrong. And more than likely it would.

Finally, she found a conquest, a human man who wasn't bad looking. He had dark hair, and brown eyes, and he was most definitely interested in her. She took her time, talking to him, flirting with him, and making her moves. It was his signal to go as well, and he zeroed in on the blond woman he'd been flirting with all night, sealing the deal with her, and leaving the bar.

Kyra smiled at her date. His name was Mark and he was incredibly handsome. They'd been chatting and flirting for the last hour and he'd made it very apparent he wanted to get to know her better.

She didn't want to get to know him at all. She just wanted sex, and hopefully, he could meet her needs and then she'd be gone before he knew what had happened.

Her gaze darted across the room to Cade and saw him talking to a blond woman. His hand was on her waist, and Kyra knew she was the one he'd bed that night. They'd played this game before, though she didn't always end up sleeping with her date. More than half of the time, she couldn't.

But tonight was going to be different. She was getting laid one way or another.

"Wanna get out of here?" Mark asked her.

"I'd love to," Kyra responded, gazing up at him. "I have a room at the hotel across the street."

"That's perfect." He wrapped an arm around her and they left the bar together, and walked out of the bar. She and Cade had done this before, and she knew exactly what room he'd be occupying.

They walked inside the hotel and down the hall to her room and she opened the door.

The moment they were inside, he started kissing her, pulling her to him and dropping his lips to hers. His hands roved over her body, squeezing her breasts and skimming over her nipples. He found the zipper on the back of her dress and yanked it down, then pushed the straps down. The dress fell from her, pooling at her feet and leaving her in just her black lace bra and thong.

He kissed her again, and his hand slid between her legs, cupping her sex through her thong and Kyra moaned, shutting off her thoughts. She needed this. She needed sex. She could pretend he was Ajax, even though there were no tingles. He needed to stop kissing her and get on with it. She'd help him along.

Her own hands went to work on his belt and jeans before she pulled his cock free, hoping he'd get the point. He smiled down at her and moved her so he could pull up her bra and squeeze her breasts. "You're so much more responsive than my wife," he murmured softly against her ear.
