Blue meets Brown: The mate's mark

Chapter 9

Madeline

We make our way down the street, it’s around 10pm and the streetlamps are on. If we weren’t so well-dressed, someone would think we were prostitutes. Even without my wolf, I can still master the ability to walk drunk on heels.

We get to the Blue Orchids bar, and it is rammed. It’s not usually so busy, but I guess everyone decided to go for a drink tonight. Being it’s after 10, we don’t need to book a table.

Charlie and I nudge our way through crowds of people to get to the bar. It is so cramped that I can smell everyone’s body odor, and it is not pleasant. Charlie begins to elbow people to get her way to the front of the bar and flags the bartender down, whilst holding onto my hand tightly. “Excuse me… Royalty is in the house, I will have two gin and tonics please”, she shouts at the bartender, who eagerly serves her. I don’t even think she paid.

She hurriedly passes me the drink and leads me to the dance floor, which is equally packed. We drink and laugh and dance… It feels right, and for once this week, I can feel the stress melting away.

Two men approach us on the dance floor, mid-twenties and brothers from their appearances. Charlie grins at me. One of the men began a conversation with me. “You look amazing, can I buy you a drink?” the unknown man asked. Charlie glares at me, telling me to say yes whilst his brother Jack is talking to Charlie.

“Um, sure! I’m Madeleine, and this is Charlie” I say as I point at my giggly friend.

“Nice to meet you, Madeleine, I’m Zack and this is my brother Jack. Shall we go to the bar?”

“Lead the way”. I take his hand, and nod at Charlie, who nods back in confirmation that she is ok.

We get to the bar; Zack is so tall and very muscular that people just seem to move out of his way. He is wearing jeans and a white top that is way too tight for him. “What are you having?” he asked me.

“Gin and tonic please” I replied. Zack ordered my drink and a vodka and coke for himself. Turning back to me, “Here you go, gorgeous. Now tell me, do you live around here?”. Interesting… He doesn’t know who I am, which could get interesting.

“Yeah, you could say that. How about you?”

“Me? No, I am just visiting from a neighboring pack. I came here with my alpha for business. The alpha here allows us to stay for a few days to taste the riches of the pack, very welcoming I must say”. He said with a grin on his face.

“Is that right? And, have you? Tasted the riches I mean?” I said with an equal grin on my face. This is fun.

“Hmm, I’m getting there”, Zack says as he takes a sip of his drink. “Shall we go back to the dance floor? I want to see your moves”. Zack continues to say with a sparkle in his eye.

“Sure, besides, I think we need to rescue your brother from my friend” I say as I look over to Charlie and Jack, who are grinding on each other.

“HA! I think you might be right”.

We head back to the dance floor and begin to dance, mostly separately, but occasionally he will step closer, and laugh as we steal glances from each other. I can see the s****l tension growing between us. It feels good, to feel wanted and be able to reciprocate it. I know it was my choice to hold on to my virginity for so long, but now that it is gone, I wonder if maybe this is my chance to dip my toes in some other ponds. I by no means will sleep with every hot stranger that pays attention to me, but in a few weeks, I not only meet my wolf, but potentially my mate and I would like to be and stay faithful, knowing I have at least sampled a few goods.

I decided there and then, to at least try it. I moved closer to Zack, and he perked up. We danced in a synced rhythm. Charlie practically panting as she stopped grinding on Jack to check in on me. Once she saw that I was relaxed, she also relaxed.

“Maddy, I’m going to the toilet. I’ll be right back”.

“I’ll walk over there with you”. We all walked over to the corner of the pub where the toilets were. There was a long corridor to the toilets where people were queuing, and a room with some tables and another bar just to the side. Jack lent against the wall on his phone, and I was leaning against the opposite wall, too preoccupied in my conversation with Zack to notice Charlie had gone inside once the que died down. Zack was brave, he was getting closer to me, practically leading over me, with both hands beside my head, against the wall. It was a very intimate sight. With the only source of light being fairy lights and those of the disco ball, some would say romantic.

“So, Madeline, are you going to let me kiss you?” Zack says with a wide grin.

“I suppose you will have to try and find out yourself”. I said, leaning in closer, just so our lips were mere inches away from each other. So close that I could smell the vodka on his breath.

One second, two seconds… He was looking deeply into my eyes. He kissed me. There was no spark, not like… But it still felt good. It was slow but punishing. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him in closer and our bodies collided with each other. I needed this, I needed more. I was like a b***h in heat. I was rubbing myself on him, and he was lapping it up. His hands traveled to my waist and held me in place by my curves.

Moments led to minutes, and minutes felt like hours. We stayed there for God knows how long. Stuck in this loop of passion, two strangers connected in a deeply silent yet sincere need of lust.
