The Dark Thrall: Mating Olivia

Chapter4

Chapter Four

I stepped away from Jay, quickly making my way to the register, away from him and Killian. I didn’t need to look behind me to know that they were both still watching me. Rolling my shoulders, I punched my employee id number into the til.

Chancing a look at both of them, Killian stood. Picking up the ticket, he stepped past Jay. His lips curved into a smile; he locked eyes with me and I shivered.

The blue-haired dragon behind him let out a low rumbling growl that made both Killian and I go still. His smile faltered for just a moment and heat filled his eyes. His body going tense as he struggled with the need to listen to his alpha. He turned to look at Jay and then after a moment they both turned in unison to look at me.

I sucked in a breath; I had heard that thrall mates didn’t need to shift to be able to communicate. Seeing the way they both prowled forward, almost like they were one being. I could believe it now. The looks they were giving me were mirrored in each other’s glowing eyes and I felt like I was being hunted.

I knew that if I looked into the mirror, my normal chocolate brown eyes would be flickering to the amber color of my wolf’s eyes. I could feel it in the bursts of sharpening colors. Everything became more intense and clearer.

Heat bloomed in the pit of my stomach, tightening everything inside of me. I let out a breath, bouncing on the balls of my feet. My skin felt too tight and I knew that my wolf wanted out, to run and let these two men catch me.

Would their naked bodies be just as muscular and toned as they looked with clothing on?

For a moment I felt dizzy with need, picturing the three of us on the forest floor after a run. Our bodies tangled together as each of us sought out our own pleasure. Taking what we wanted from the others until our beasts were stated.

My phone chimed with a text message and I shook my head, trying to calm myself down. I had a job to finish up and I couldn’t give in to my baser desires.

Jay took the ticket away from Killian, his walk a bit slower than before as he came closer to me. Killian moved to lean against the door of the diner, watching the two of us. The door cracked open behind him, letting in some of the cool night air and with it, the heady scent of their arousal.

My teeth lengthened and I had to fight down the urge to shift. I lifted my hand out to Jay, taking the plastic tray from him. His fingers brushed against mine and I felt the tingling heat of his touch.

He let out a low groan that I felt through my entire body. His dark eyes seemed to glitter like the night sky, bright and calling to my wolf.

I pulled my hand back, scanning their ticket, and looking down at the little screen above the register.

“It’ll be twenty-one even.” My voice was breathy and filled with need. It made me want to curse my wolf. I wasn’t close to my heat, but being around these two made me feel like that didn’t matter.

Jay pulled out his wallet from inside of his jacket, pulling out two crisp twenty-dollar bills. He held them out for me and I was careful not to touch him again. I didn’t need to bring my heat on early. I couldn’t afford to take more time off work. Jose would give me the time off. I had no doubts about that because he had already done so much for me that I didn’t want to miss any shifts and let him down.

The til popped open and I counted out the change, holding the bills out to Jay. He shook his head, his tongue moving over his lower lip, exposing teeth that were growing into sharp points. The scent of my arousal was affecting him just as his and Killian’s scent was affecting me.

“Keep it, sweetheart.” He said, his words a rough purr. “We’ll be seeing you soon.”

He winked at me and my eyes widened. I knew that I shouldn’t feel flattered, but I couldn’t help it. I looked over at Killian as he opened the door for the other man. He shot me a grin that was anything but innocent.

A part of me was excited about seeing them again. The other part of me, the rational part, knew that they were dangerous and I should stay away.

I moved out from behind the counter, over to their booth. Watching the two of them out the window as they got onto the back of their black motorcycles. Jay looked back at me as he slipped his helmet on. His lips quirked into a half smile before they revved their engines and pulled out of the parking lot.

I stacked their plates, watching their taillights fade down the street. When they had, I picked up the dishes, noticing a slip of paper folded beneath Killian’s plate. I sat the stack of plates down, picking up the paper and unfolding it.

His handwriting was small and neat, just his name and number.

Killian Brighton, now I had a last name to go with his first. Had his thrall mate taken his last name or was that Jay’s last name too? Tucking the note into my back pocket, I picked up the stack of plates before making my way to the kitchen.

Jose looked up from his phone as the door swung open. He gave me a tired smile. I placed the dishes into the sink and he walked past me. Heading into the front of the diner to lock the door and turn off the lights while I washed the dishes.

We finished cleaning before making our way out to the back parking lot and getting into his truck.
