Not Wanted

Chapter 4: Sleep

Sebastian

"Did you just growl?" He heard Petra ask. He turned her noticing the amused look on her face, unlike Damien who looked decidedly uncomfortable. Good, Sebastian thought to himself.  

"Would you like another drink?" Damien mumbled facing Sebastian who simply nodded.

"Yes please." Petra responded glaring at him, Sebastian could feel Damien tense but without moving his gaze from him mate he responded, "please" this time managing to hold in his growl. Damien almost ran away but the small brunette was still watching him with her brow raised looking unimpressed. Her eyes caught him off guard, he had initially thought they were just a dull brown but looking at her now he could see an array of browns dancing in their depths, she clearly had some of that paint stuff women used on their lashes, they were long and thick adding something sultry about her look. It took him by surprise but her eyes were beautiful. 

"You have a freckle under your eye." He noted absentmindedly. 

"Not many people notice that." She shrugged returning her gaze to the T.V..

"It's pretty." He found himself saying, she let out a soft laugh as she faced him again. 

"Not sure how a freckle can be considered pretty but thanks." She said shaking her head as she turned away from him again. It angered him that she dismissed his compliment. "Gotta be honest handsome I'm not really sure why you're sitting here." He wasn't sure either, because she's our mate, his wolf hissed at him. 

"You intrigue me." He answered in a half truth, she giggled at his response the sound almost musical to his ears. 

"So tell me, how can I help you so you can move on from this intrigue you apparently have." She smiled changing her position so she was facing him, her legs crossed under each other her knee brushing against his thigh. 

"Are you trying to get rid of me?" He asked both irked and amused by this, if she had been a wolf there would have been no way she would have been trying to get rid of him. In face he would have had to drag them out of the bar so they wouldn't end up fucking o it, yet here was this average human who seemed happy to send him on his way.

"Okay, I'm 33 nearly 34, I have a boyfriend, a mundane job, not rich, can drive a stick because in Britain we drive properly," she winked at that comment, "I talk far too much, I'm pretty lazy, I'm unfit and I'm selfish. I have no real discernible talent or gift, other than my ability to talk, I like red wine and forget-me-nots. That enough?" She questioned sipping her wine. 

"Never had a woman sum herself up so quickly." He studied her face. "Or a woman who apparently finds nothing about herself appealing or worthy." She smiled at his comment but he saw shadows behind her eyes that he couldn't quite read.

"I think you mean honest or realistic." She shrugged. 

"There has to be something you like about yourself?" He asked her and for a moment she seemed to be stunned into silence, she opened her mouth and closed it several times. 

"Here's your drink." Damien was back handing Sebastian his drink, this seemed to shake Petra back to reality as she coughed and changed her position so she was no longer face him, which he didn't like. He shot Damien a look as he took his drink.

"Thank you." Petra offered Damien yet another easy smile.

"I would have said thank you." Sebastian found himself huffing like a petulant child.

"Uh-huh." She laughed.

The sound of the T.V. was suddenly turned on, some other stupid quiz programme was on, Petra seemed pleased by this and snuggled back into the sofa the action causing her arm to rub against his. The sofa was small and Sebastian was a big guy there really wasn't enough room for the two of them, not that his libido  seemed to mind. His body in fact seemed to have its own fucking mind when his arm lifted and wrapped around her shoulders bringing her closer and shockingly she curved into his side without a word. The fact she even seemed to snuggle closer caused his wolf to purr, out of the corner of his eye he noticed her smile at the sound so he continued his soft purr smiling to himself when he heard her sigh contentedly.
