Bear Shifters (Book 4)

Chapter 3-Minho

Exactly one hour later, I was waiting on the living room couch while the adults conversed in the kitchen and Charles played video games beside me on the T.V.

The sound of footsteps brought my attention to the stairs, where Ava was descending the steps. My jaw dropped and my eyes popped out of my head as I took in her appearance.

She had on a pair of leather high wasted tight short shorts, revealing her long legs that were covered in fishnet tights. She had on a pair of thigh high black boots with only a small heel. Her shirt—if you could even call it that—was red lace halter top and revealed her flat tones stomach above the waistline of her shorts.

Her hair was down to her waist in its natural curly style and her face had on a little makeup. Her lips were blood red and her hazel eyes were dark and smoky, and outlined with black eyeliner.

She smirked at my expression, coming down the rest of the way. I slowly rose to my feet, still staring at her. She was absolutely beautiful. I mean she was always beautiful but...wow!

I open my mouth to say something, but Adam comes in, swinging a pair of keys around his finger. He gives me a blank stare, before looking over at Ava, his eyes popping out of his head. He quickly schools his expression into a neutral stare before either Ava or I could beat the shit out of him.

"You look like a prostitute," he deadpans, walking around her.

"Oh do I get a pay raise if I act like I care?" Ava asks, tilting her head to the side, making Adam scowl and walk out.

I smile to myself and come over, wrapping my arm around Ava's bare waist. She leans into my side as we walk out of the house, making me smile.

"You look amazing tonight,' I say, kissing the top of her head.

"I know," I can basically hear her smirk. "You don't look to bad yourself,' she adds, making a show of looking me up and down.

I was dressed in a pair of dark jeans and a simple tight fitting black shirt, which obviously Ava liked as she kept staring at me.

"Ugh, why can't you be a fat loser so that no girls even look at you," Ava groans, hitting her head on my chest as we walk towards the cars.

"But then you wouldn't like me," I respond with a small smile.

"That's not true. You're my mate, I would like you no matter what...but I admit, you being a smexy hottie is totally fine by me," she says, tiling her head back to look up at me.

I roll my eyes, but chuckle anyway as we reach the car, Adam already in the driver's seat. I move to sit in the back, but Ava motions for me to sit in the passenger seat, beside him.

"He's your cousin. I know we hate each other, but you should at least try to connect with him—even if he's a complete asshole," she mutters the last part to herself as she slides into the car, making me smile.

I shake my head, but go to sit in the front with Adam anyway. He says nothing as I slide into the car. He just turns the key, shifts the gear, and drives out of the driveway and down the road.

I shoot Ava a pleading look through the mirror, making her roll her eyes with a smirk, but pop her head between the two seats and speaks.

"You know, I could cut the sexual tension between your two with a knife."

We all hop out of the car as soon as we park at the club. I walk over to Ava and wrap my arm possessively around her as we walk towards the large line.

"We are not waiting in that line," Ava says determinedly, shoving my arm off her waist.

I open my mouth to protest, but she interrupts me.

"Just follow my lead and no killing anyone okay, we are getting in there," she says to Adam and I.

I nod slowly at her, while Adam just scoffs and rolls his eyes. Ava flips him off before walking right up to the bouncer.

"Hey," Ava purrs, wrapping a strand of hair around her finger. "do you think you could let us in?"

I fight the urge to growl and kill the bastard as he looks Ava over slowly, before his gaze flicks back to Adam and I.

"Who are they? One of them your boyfriend?" he asks with a raised eyebrow, making Ava giggle.

"Nah, they're gay. I'm single," she smirks.

"Alright, maybe I'll see you later tonight," he says, moving the rope aside.

I glare at him as his eyes linger on Ava's behind a little longer than necessary. As soon as the door closes behind us, I wrap my arms around Ava and pull her to me.

"What the hell was that?" I growl in her ear.

"Relax, you know I only have eyes for you. I love you. I just had to get us in, and it worked, now let's go have some fun," she smiles up at me, making my heart skip a beat.

"Yeah, just no more flirting with other men, even if it is to get us into a club," I say, leaning down to kiss the top of her head.

"Okie dokie Loki," she replies, making me roll my eyes at her child like nerdiness.

She was a complete nerd, but not many people knew that. Luckily, I was her best friend and mate, and I knew everything about her.

I pulled her towards the dancefloor while the music pulsated through the room, making my chest vibrate. I stopped in the center of the floor, wrapping my arms around Ava, giving her a smile.

This will definitely be a night to remember.
