Night Touched

Lyra

    I hated having to leave so quickly, all things considered. What had I just done? I practically had sex in public with a man I had just met! Well, a wolf technically, I guess. There was something so intoxicating about being in his presence and I couldn't quite put a finger on it. I have never moved so quickly, or felt so drawn to another person in my life.

    I blushed, thinking about how far our encounter could have gone, if my phone hadn't gone off... Ruby had blown it up with texts saying Tony was ready to go. The constant buzzing in my back pocket had been like coming back up for air; after being pulled under the waves of the sea. A shiver ran down my spine as I rounded the bottom of the stairwell to leave, stealing a quick glance backwards, seeing him sitting in the booth staring at me. Good, I'll leave him wanting more. I mused.

I hurried up the stairs quickly to find Ruby and Tony standing by the exit waiting impatiently. "Sorry guys, I just got distracted." I waved my hand nonchalantly, but I could feel the heat rising to my cheeks.

"Ly, where did you go? One minute you went to the bathroom and then you disappeared into thin air!" Ruby asked exasperated. She was hanging on Tony like they couldn't wait to get home and ravage one another.

I blushed harder; I could still feel my wetness and heat between my legs, from the memory of Asher's touch.

"I met someone tonight, Rubes. He even invited me back to his hotel room." I replied.

"Holy shit, Lyra! Tell me everything, I need details." She looked me over, appraisingly, "I told you that glamour spell was worth it." She laughed. 

"I'll tell you on the ride, I promise. But I took your advice girl, and I definitely left him wanting more." I chuckled.

She laughed in return and Tony just rolled his eyes in our direction. "I'll go get the car and bring it around front for you girls. Be right back." He said and strolled out the door.

I adjusted myself, fixing my clothing and smoothing my hair absentmindedly. I was still thinking about the way Asher's tongue had felt in my mouth and about the carnal hunger behind his eyes. Hunger for me.

I took a step backwards, accidentally bumping into a server carrying a tray of drinks. The server cursed under her breath, and a few drinks fell to the floor with a resounding clash of glass breaking; their contents spilling onto the floor.

I flushed embarrassedly, kneeling down, "I'm so sorry! I didn't see you there. Please, let me help you."

"It's no problem, Miss." The server said politely, as we picked up pieces of glass off of the floor together.

"Oh fuck!" I gasped, cutting my finger on a jagged shard. The blood welled up quickly and few drops hit the floor. "Shit, I'm sorry. I'm just such a klutz tonight, I don't know what's come over me." I said discombobulated.

Don't mind me, I've just got sex on the brain.

"Ly, are you all right?" Ruby asked. She helped me to my feet, as I applied pressure to my finger.

"Yeah, I think I'll be okay, the cuts not too deep. Just stings a bit." I told her; feeling the throb of my pulse in my fingertip.

"Let me see it, you always downplay stuff that happens to you. Don't think this gets you out of telling me all about this mystery man." Ruby took my finger and looked it over carefully.

A wave of dizziness overcame me suddenly, and I swayed on my feet. Ruby grabbed my arms, steadying me, with a look of concern on her face..

Get it together, Lyra, for goodness sake. I thought to myself.
