Aria's POV
Ryder invited me to a restaurant to introduce me to his social circle. The restaurant he chose wasn't just exclusive. It was hidden.
The moment I stepped out of the car, Lydia's ears perked up inside me. I can smell several dominant wolves.
"So can I."
Ryder came around the car and opened my door himself. "You look beautiful tonight."
I rolled my eyes. "I am sure you say that to every woman."
He grinned without the slightest bit of shame. "Only the beautiful ones."
"I've already told you flirting won't work." I shut the car door and looked up at the elegant building. "So this is where your mysterious friends gather?"
"My favorite people."
"I'm sure that's debatable."
He laughed. "I like you more every time you insult me."
Lydia snorted. He's impossible. Completely.
