Cupid Shuffle

A/N: Michelle Trachtenberg is "cast" as Luna.... What do y'all think?!?;);)

Alessio's POV

'Cupid Shuffle' blared through the speakers and, all at once, my Pack was moving along to the song. First left, then right, then kick their heels up. I had no idea what the hell they were doing... I get the point of following along with the song, but what in the world....?!?

Looking on with a raised brow, I immediately relaxed as my Luna- my beautiful, strong Mate- worked her tiny little hand into mine. Glancing down at her- not wanting to miss the spectacle my Pack was making of themselves- I caught her eye as she snuggled up close to me. "Alex, why in the world aren't you dancing?!?" Then, she was tugging me onto the makeshift dance floor. "Come on, Alex, everybody knows the 'Cupid Shuffle'!"

"Not me," I grumbled, following her as she pranced into the middle of the crowd of people. Then, she wrapped her arms around my waist and tugged me against her, easily keeping pace with the song. "I don't know what I'm doing, Luna- what are you doing?!?"

"Trying to teach you to dance- follow my lead, you big doofus!" Her teeth were gritted, but I knew she wasn't angry. A second later, she proved me right with a playful giggle as I accidentally stepped on her high heeled toe. "Babe, you'd better be glad we're in Italy and not Texas- those two left feet of yours would not fly, at all..." Then her lips brushed against mine as she hooked a single leg around one of my hips. "But that's okay- I'll teach you how to dance."

Sucking in a breath, my gaze latched onto hers only for a moment before following the path lower to her breasts as they bounced around in my sister's dress. Why the hell is my sister- my little, baby sister- wearing this?!? I guess my Beta knows the answer to that question...

"Pretty sure I don't have to do that," I chuckled, pulling her back up straight against my chest, "just to dance..." Towering over her, I realized that my sheer size, let alone my Alfa aura, should've had her shaking in fear- but she was my Mate, never mind that she was a ball of sass and attitude. Shaking my head at my thoughts- I was her Mate, of course she had nothing to fear from me!- I lightly pressed my lips to hers. "It does, however, work very well for you, little one- feel free to continue, if you'd like..."

"Alex!" Her voice was a breathy squeal as she playfully slapped a hand over my chest, eyes dancing. "I don't think I will, just because you said that..." Her lips met mine teasingly- a peck, not even worthy of being called a kiss- as she stood on tiptoes even in her six inch heels. "But I will do that..."

"Mhhhmmm, you can certainly keep doing that, little one," I murmured as my arms tightened around her hips of their own accord and I drew her face back up to mine. "In fact, if you don't, I could always just make you..." Then, our lips met again, harder and longer this time, as I inhaled her scent. Mhm, she smelt of leather and roses- a strange yet surprisingly intoxicating combination. "And, just so you know, I would very much like to make you do something..."

"What would you make me do, Alessio?" Her voice was soft yet teasing as her blue, almost gray, eyes glittered up at me. Her bottom lip was tucked between her teeth and, as I stared down at her with my wolf prowling beneath my skin, I couldn't resist but to tug that lips of hers into my own mouth.

"Mhhhmmm, I can definitely think of a few things- starting with getting you out of the habit of biting that lip!" No, I wouldn't go 50 Shades of Grey on her- having two hopeless romantics around did some weird things to a man...- but I would gladly, oh so very gladly, save her the time and energy of biting it, all by biting it myself...!

"Why would you stop me? Does it turn you on or something?!?" With a wink, she twirled out of my arms, then right back in, and giggled. "Or is it just that you'd rather bite my lip?" At the look on my face- my Mate played the sexy naïveté well- she giggled once again and fluffed her hair out. "Let me guess, you're going to go 50 Shades of Grey on me if I don't stop biting my lip, aren't you, big boy of mine?!?"
