~Adrian~
We picked up more blood from our supplier, went by the jewelry store, and then to get flowers.
We put great effort into trying to take our time, so the ladies could have plenty of time to get ready, but after an hour of errands I was just ready to get back to my vixen.
When I walked in the door, I stopped dead in my tracks.
She was so stunning.
She wore her hair half up, half down with little loose strands of hair framing her face.
She had on a dark gray short dress that looked as if it was painted on, and long black boots that went up to the thigh, exposing just an inch of skin between her dress and boots.
David growled at Nicole wrapping his arms around her to present her with her flowers.
I stood there staring at Paige with her flowers still in my hand, covering the bulge growing in my pants.
She smiled shyly at me, and wrapped her arms around me.
"Is that for me?" she whispered in my ear.
"The flowers? Or the erection?" I whispered back playfully.
"We can hear you!" Nicole said playfully while David roared with laughter.
"Well I think we can go now," Adrian said, clearing his throat.
"Let me put those in water first," Paige said, taking the flowers into the kitchen.
"We aren't flying again are we?" she asked from the kitchen.
"No, I told them we have to take the cars this time," Nicole answered as Paige walked back into the room and put on her leather jacket.
"Only because you don't want to mess up your hair," David giggled. Nicole elbowed him, but laughed along.
I threw the keys to David and we headed off.
I sat happily in the backseat with my goddess in my arms, leaning into me like a comfy pillow.
I found myself stroking her bottom throughout the ride, making sure to pat it one good time before we got out of the car.
We already had a line at the door of the club.
Business was booming tonight. We had live entertainment scheduled so the line was filled with both our regulars and the people coming to check out the band.
We walked past the line, and every head turned.
The men wished to possess her and the women wished to be her. Paige was a picture of perfection and she was in my arms.
David and our bouncer Bill did their silly secret hand shake, and we all went in laughing about it.
We made our way upstairs above the dance floor, in a VIP lounge, close to the 2nd floor bar just for better convenience.
"Ladies, get settled in and look over the menu, we'll grab your drinks," I said, handing Paige the food menu.
"Anything in particular you wish to drink tonight?" David asked.
"I'm thinking sex on the beach," Nicole said with a wink.
"Yes and yes," David answered with laughter.
"What would you like, kitten?" I asked Paige.
"I'll take the same," she giggled.
"Okay I will be right back. In the meantime, pick out something to eat; you'll need your strength for later," I said in her ear, kissing her neck.
"Yes sir," she whispered.
David and I went to the bar and put in an order for their cocktails, while we ordered whisky.
He pulled a metal flask out of his pocket and poured the red elixir into both our whiskys, and also into Nicole's cocktail.
We brought the drinks back and set them on the table in front of the sofas that Paige and Nicole sat at.
"Did you find something you like?" I asked Paige as I took a seat next to her.
"I was thinking of the fried calamari."
"Anything else?" I asked. She shrugged looking at the menu.
"They have fried pickles," Nicole said to her with a grin.
"Ooh, yes those too," Paige exclaimed.
A waitress came to our section soon after we put the menu down. It was Claire again.
She somehow always managed to find her way to our section any time David and I decided to lounge in the club.
"Hey, sweetie, you look thirsty, do you need another drink?" Claire said, laying her hand on my shoulder.
"I have a drink, thank you, but my mate, Paige, would like some food. Calamari and fried pickles if you will," I said to her, giving her an annoyed look.
"Your mate?" she asked with anger.
"Mine," I said, wrapping my arm around Paige, who was giving Claire the death stare.
"I'll go put that order in," Claire said, stomping off towards the kiosk by the bar.
"Well, she seems nice," Nicole said sarcastically, taking a sip of her drink.
"Mmm hmmm," Paige added, sucking down her drink until it was gone.
"I am so sorry for her…disrespect," I said the last word with emphasis. The audacity she had to approach us with our dates and disrespect my matejust irritated me.
The food arrived quickly and it was delivered to us by one of the food runners instead of Claire, which was honestly a relief as I didn't want her coming back to our table.
Paige seemed to have gotten into a better mood after eating and planning the mate bond ceremony. David took Nicole to dance when the band started to play and I was left to cuddle with my sweet vixen.
Paige loved the band. I even caught her headbanging a couple of times.
Adorable.
Then the band played a slow rock ballad.
"Would you like to dance?" I asked Paige in her ear, so she could hear me over the music.
"I would love to," she said, taking my hand.
I stood up and helped her to her feet, but she put her hands on her forehead and sat back down.
"Are you okay?" Nicole asked, walking back up from the dance floor with David.
"I stood up too fast, and I think the alcohol and stuff I ate just didn't mix well," she said.
"Here, let's get you to the ladies room," Nicole said, helping her to her feet.
"We've done enough planning. I can take you home," I said.
"Okay, maybe after I go to the bathroom. I think I am gonna get sick," she said, walking off with a hand over her mouth.
Nicole followed behind her, to make sure she was okay.
"She'll be fine, brother. Give her some of your blood; it will fix her right up," David reassured me.
"I will do that after I get her home. I can't risk her getting aroused in here, vampires and shifters in this place will pick up the scent and send this place into an orgy," I said, finishing my drink.
"My mate bond makes me desire only Nicole, so that is one less vampire you'll have to worry about," David grinned.
I rolled my eyes but couldn't help but smile.
"I'll go get the car, and pull up to the door," hesaid, patting me on the back before walking away.
I took my empty glass to the bar and left a hefty tip.
"Can we talk?" said a voice from behind me.
I turned to find it was Claire. She had mascara running, had clearly been crying, and she smelled of vodka.
"Claire, are you drinking on the job again?" I asked her.
She wrapped her arms around me and cried into my chest.
I pulled her off of me.
"Are you crazy?! Drinking on the clock, and thinking you can touch me the moment my mate walks away?!" I tried to control my anger, but this is why I try not to hire humans, they become donors and get addicted to the bite.
They become blood whores, and some of them go crazy and turn into stalkers.
I have only fed from Claire once and it was a mistake, one that will never happen again.
"Why couldn't it be me?" Claire said, sobbing.
"Claire I am trying to be as polite as possible but I have told you before there will never be anything between us, now you need to clock out and sober up,"
I told her with a sigh.
She nodded and reached in for a hug.
Not wanting to hurt her feelings more, I accepted the hug.
She put her hand on my cheek.
"It was supposed to be me," she whispered before forcing her lips onto mine.
"What are you doing?!" Paige shouted.
I pushed Claire off me again.
"I told you no!" I shouted to Claire, but as the words left my lips Paige was already gone.
I tried to catch up to her among the large crowd in the club, careful not to move too fast.
Most humans in this club are not aware vampires and shifters exist.
I lost her in the crowd, but I could still smell her.
She was still in the club, I just had to find her.
