Forbidden Taste

Chapter four

Nala*

After I walked back inside, I tried to avoid any more encounters with alcohol. Valerie was dancing with a few guys and I could tell she was flirting with them by the way she swayed her hips. I shake my head with amusement and wait till she's finished before telling her that I needed to get home. It didn't take too long before I was in bed and passed out in exhaustion.

I walk from the woods soaking wet as the rain fell into my skin, I knew he was there... he steps out from the dark and smiles at me but I knew something was off. I looked down towards his hands and noticed they were covered in blood.

I automatically take a step back scared of what was about to happen and as I kept moving away my back pressed again the wall.

Ezra stood right in front of me and lays his bloody hands on the wall, at the side of my head. I shivered but noticed it wasn't from fear. I wanted him and he knew it. I was his prey.

"I will always protect you Nala, no matter what blood has to be shed"

I look into his eyes and lick my lips.
"I don't understand"
He slowly smiles and leans down so our noses touch.
"You will soon enough"
And as he was about to press his lips against mine... I woke up.

After that dream I couldn't stop thinking about Ezra. Everything about him made me shiver with want, like the way he looks at me when he thinks I don't notice, or the way he growls when something irritates him.
I couldn't help but need to see him again even thought there was a small part of me that was scared since he was a werewolf or most importantly an alpha.

What the hell was that dream anyways, I shake my head getting the thought out of my head. It definitely was one weird dream. It didn't even make sense.

I didn't have too much of a hangover which was a bonus so after I have a shower and my morning coffee I was out of the door for work. And Yes, still thinking about him.

When I get to my desk I notice a bunch of flowers along with a note that said 'here's my number, call me Nala. Ezra.

I stood there in shock wondering how he knew I worked here. Tim walked towards my desk with a small smile on his face.

"Looks like your really popular Nala"

I smile and nodded a little just before he walked over to his desk. I put his number in my phone and dail before I back out. He answers on the first ring.

"Ezra here" his deep voice says through the phone and I can't help but bite my lip. Geez what the hell is wrong with me?

"Um... hey Ezra it's Nala I got your flowers and note."
I hear him chuckle from the other end.

"Yeh I hope you like them"

"I did... thank you. So how did you know where I work?" I say a little low.

"Your work clothes has the company name so I went in and asked" he laughs.
"Ah right, well thank you again. I best get off now because I'm at work"

I hear movement around the other side of the phone and he sighs.

"Alright Nala, listen I was wondering if you wanted to go out for dinner tonight?"

I take my phone from my ear and stare at it with shock. Did he really just ask me out. I quickly agree before giving him details where I live and hang up.

The day goes fast from then and it wasn't too long before I get home and start panicking about my date.

Katie notices me in the living room and smiles slightly.

"What's up?"

I look at her and smile back. "I got a date tonight"

Her eyes practically bounce out of her head and she drags me off the sofa.

"OMG! It's about time Nala, you need to wear that black alterneck dress I bought the other day, that would look amazing on you."
It wasn't long before I was forced into the shower and into the dress along with black strap high heels.

"We need to do your make up! Here try this red lipstick" she says all but chucking the bloody thing at me.

"Katie calm down" I laugh while I put my make up on.

We both jump and the door bell ringing and Katie grins while running to get there first before I could. Dam her!

I start to hear them both talking and I make my way down the stairs.

Ezra looks up at me and smiles showing his two perfect dimples. God just let me lick one please...

"Nala you look beautiful, should we get going" he says while holding his hand out for me to take it.
Katie just stares at him and I swear I could see a little dribble. He must of noticed before he gave me a little smirk and a shrug.

I take his hand and say my goodbye to my sister. She must of recovered because she started acting like the big sister she was.

Well tonight is going to be interesting...
