Blue Moon (28 page)

We have already decided that
it is best to tell the Brothers’ what we plan to do first thing tomorrow morning. Ruk and Angus are more than confident that the Brothers’ will be happy to know that there is a plan set in motion, as they themselves are planning on ripping apart every man and woman in the ceremony.

“We can fight them, there are 10 of us to fight back
, and we will have Parrise back with us,” I tell her with a comforting smile.

She looks at me with guilt flashing in her beautiful green eyes, before looking away, and changing the subject.

I don’t know what is going on with them all, but every time I mention Parrise they noticeable stiffen and change the subject. No one will answer my questions, or they do but with lies, if I find out something has happened to him and everyone has hidden it from me, I will never forgive them.

We spend the day drinking champagne, having our nails done, massages, facials, and our hair styled. As today is the last day before the bonding, Dallah and Richard will celebrate the day and night separately. So I have arranged for a hen party to be proud of, lots of alcohol, lots of loud music, and a touch of Julian. I haven’t yet found out what Richard will be doing, but I know that the Brothers’, Theo, and Angus are being quiet about it.

Chapter Seventeen

Dallah looks stunning with her hair falling down her back in soft curls, wearing a tight black dress that shows her body a little more than I think Julian would appreciate. However, she can blame it on me, as I was the one that dressed her in it, but
honestly, I think he would beg for her hand in marriage or ‘mating’ as the Werewolves call it. I am dressed in a mini dress that is covered in sparkling sequins in black, my hair is curled, and hanging loose, my make-up is applied beautifully by Dallah.

Making our way down to the ballroom, we hear the thumping of the music playing inside. We have every woman in the Dark Coven coming to Dallah celebration, only because Richard insisted on it. She knows most of them, but I think that she would rather that they wasn’t there, well, she would rather she wasn’t there, but I persuaded her to just enjoy herself, because really this is the start of her life, not the sad ending it would be if the bonding to Richard went ahead tomorrow.

             
“You ready?” I ask her excitedly and a little tipsy, due to us knocking back 3 glasses each of champagne already.

             
“Yeah, let’s do this. This is the night before the beginning of the rest my life right?”

             
“Damn right it is,” I tell her with a wicked grin, while swinging open the doors to the hall, and watching her face for her reaction.

             
“OHMYGOD!” She screams and faces me with a look of shock.

             
“You like?”

I have decorated the hall this afternoon with the help of Dallah’s cousins. There are around 30 round tables scattered around the dance floor, all with fabulous cocktail fountains sitting on the tables, filled with alcohol, there is a DJ playing Dallah favourite music and the lights are off leaving only the colourful flashing lights.

              “It’s like the best night club ever!”

             
“That was the plan,” I tell her with a wink and pull her along by the hand.

Every Witch, Vampire and Werewolf, come
s over to greet her, she reluctantly stands and talks to them not wanting to be rude.

While I stand at the cocktail fountain filling my glass, my mind slips back to Ruk.
I haven’t seen him all day, and when I went to see him at his room, he was nowhere to be found. I want to explain to him what happened, but more than anything I want to show him how much he means to me, I want to show everyone how much he means to me, even if we only have 24 hours together, I will make him feel like he’s the only man in the world.

When Dallah has greeted her guests, she joins her cousins and me at the table as we sit drinking and chatting.

             
“Hey, your friend Den is hot,” Laura tells Dallah as she takes a seat beside me.

             
“Yeah he is,” She replies coolly, “So are we hitting the floor?” she asks me, turning her attention away from her cousin.

             
“Definitely, come on lets all go,” I shout to the others over the music, whilst pulling Dallah up by her hand.

             
“Yeah, alright,” Laura tells us reluctantly while standing from her seat. Laura and I have decided to let what happened between us go as we are here for Dallah, well, I am, she is here to pick up somebody much like Richard, good luck!

As we dance to the music I feel light and happy like I haven’t a care in the world and finding myself actually letting go and enjoying myself more than I would have thought possible. Being in the company of just women, and not having men here is blissful. No one is offering us dodgy drinks or grinding up against us, I think that when we get back home, I will have to persuade Sallack into doing a-girls-only-night at the club. Our lovely tranquil moment is short lived as Dallah’s annoying cousin opens her mouth.

             
“We should go find the men, I think I might make a play for that Ruk, the one that is all dark and mysterious, and have you seen his butt!” Sarah shouts over the music, whilst pretending to fan her face.

             
“Stay away from him!” I growl at her through gritted teeth, now standing only an inch away from her face.

             
“Oh a bit of competition, lovely. I think I know who will win this,” She tells me with confidence.

What is wrong with me, I
cannot keep appearing in front of people in this way, and more confusing is that they did not bat an eyelid. When she mentioned Ruk and making a play for him, the reminder of Sallack and Mary came flooding in. However, Ruk is not mine, so I shouldn’t be telling woman to stay away, but for tonight and tomorrow, I want more than anything for him to be with me, not some nasty Witch.

             
“Sarah stop being a bitch, you know that Zara and Ruk are together,” Hydie tells her harshly.

             
“So, when has that ever stopped me?” Sarah replies her looking her sister up and down.

             
“Well maybe you should, you know that karma affects us all,” Hydie warns.

             
“Yeah, yeah, I’m going to find another drink, come on Laura,” She says and takes a very drunk Laura by the arms to lead her to the table for a top up.

             
“Sorry about her,” Hydie tells me embarrassed.

             
“No, don’t be silly, you can’t be responsible for what your sister does, but how did you know Ruk and me where...” I stop as I don’t know how to actually finish the sentence.

             
“Together?” she asks, which I nod at, “We heard him telling Den the other day, they got pretty heated and had to be separated.”

             
“Really? Did you know about this?” I ask Dallah.

             
“No, no one told me,” She tells me shaking her head.

             
“Ok. Well, thanks for that with your sister Hydie.”

             
“Oh no worries. Hey, by the way, the two of you make the perfect couple,” She tells me with a wink before walking back to the table where her sisters are frowning at her and not looking too pleased.

             
“I like her,” I tell Dallah with a grin.

             
“Because she said you and Ruk are perfect together?” She laughs.

             
“No! Well yeah a little bit, but no, she just seems so nice compared to her sisters.”

             
“Yeah, I know what you mean, she isn’t like them at all, thankfully.”

             
“No more moping, let's party,” I tell her whilst grabbing her and pulling her deeper into the now crowded dance floor.

I step outside in the gardens with Dallah, as we needed to get some fresh air, and to escape her cousins.

             
“I wish I were with Julian,” She tells me with a sigh.

             
“Yeah, I know. I wish Ruk would just let me explain to him what happened earlier.”

             
“Shall we go see what they're up to?” She asks with a wicked grin in place.

             
“Damn right,” I tell her holding out my hand.

Transporting just outside the door that leads to Richards stag do, she looks at me with a wink before disappearing, then only moments later, appearing before me flushed.

             
“What's going on?”

             
“Richard is having a lap dance, so are Mickey, Den, and Richard's merry men!” She tells me with a laugh.

             
“No way, let’s go in!” I tell her with a grin.

             
“What? No!” She screeches at me.

             
“Yes! Let’s give our men a lap dance, it’s perfect, I can show Ruk how much I think of him, as I wouldn’t do it for any other man.”

             
“I can see where you're coming from, But Richard won’t allow it...Damn it Zara!”

While she was talking
, I dressed us both in silky black underwear, stockings and a small open top that has a hood to cover our faces.

             
“Ok now he won’t see us,” I tell her cheekily, making her laugh.

             
“What are you getting me into,” She asks with a raised brow.

             
“You are going to shake that ass, and I’m gunna shake my ass like I never have before. Hide your hair in the hood so Richard doesn‘t recognize you,” I tell her while I do the same thing.

             
“Oh my god, we look so hot!” She says gazing up and down my body and hers.

             
“Yeah we do! Right, lets transport to the other side of the door, we can then walk over to Ruk and Julian, and no one will think anything,”

             
“Sallack was right about you, you did take his warning as a challenge,” She tells me just before we transport inside the room.

There looks to be at least 10 girls giving lap dances, from what I can make out, as the lights are down low. Spotting Ruk from across the room, looking damn right moody, as he sits in a big chair with a glass of liquor in his hand, I quickly glance at Dallah,

             
“
Ok there they are, let’s Go
,” I tell her telepathically.

“
I’m right beside you
,” She answers as we walk to them seductively, while keeping our heads down to cover our faces.

My heart starts to thump against my chest with excitement. As I get a
few feet away from him, I see him lean back in the chair as his hand rubs the side of his chin, but I don’t let him see my eyes, not yet.

Slowly I turn from him and gently lower my backside on to his
crotch. As I start to swirl and grind against him to the music, I see his hands come to my sides to grip the arms of the chair. He holds on to the chair so tightly that his knuckles turn white, and the wood starts to creek under his strength.

With a pleased smile on my lips I slowly get up and stand
on my feet before I climb onto his lap, with my thighs snuggled tightly against his, I finally catch his gaze. His eyes are captivated by mine, and his breath hitches as a smile forms on my lips.

             
“You’re taking me to heaven baby.” He tells me in a mesmerized tone.

Swirling my butt on his
crotch against his impressive size, my heartbeat accelerates to a new rhythm, a rhythm that now joins Ruk’s.

Leaning forward, I gently press my lips to his ear, feeling the shiver that shakes though his body.

              “I’ll take you anywhere,” I tell him sensually before I kiss his ear lobe and pepper kisses down his neck while his fingers bite into my butt as his eyes glow a magnificent gold with purple running through his pupils.

When I hear him release a low growl, I get to my feet and place a knee carefully in between his
crotch as I lean forward to him and take his bottom lip in my teeth to open his mouth before licking my tongue against his, making him instantly forget about the eyes that are on us.

             
“Just you and me,” I whisper on his lips, making him smile against my lips.

Keeping my back straight, I lean my chest against his face, and his tongue comes out and licks the gap between my breasts, while his hands grab a hold of my waist and he stands with me. Gripping onto his strong
shoulders with need, he lifts my thighs so that they wrap around his waist.

             
“I know now baby. We're going, they won’t see anymore,” He tells me with a growl, as he walks to the door. He surprises me by not opening it, but pushing my back against it, his lips descend on mine in pure hunger, the taste of alcohol on his tongue hits me, but I like it. While his hands search my body and I uncontrollable lose myself in him, I hear the low hum of a collection of growls. Not bothering to see where the growls come from, I transport us back to his room, where we can be alone on our last night together, the last time we will be together as lovers.

Waking in the morning beside a naked Ruk, I feel like I have had a taste of heaven and I don’t want to give it up. Rolling on to him, where he lies in bed asleep, I kiss his neck to wake him.

             
“No, is it morning already?” Ruk grumbles, whilst taking a hold of my butt and grinding against me.

             
“Um hum,” I mumble into his neck, lost in his calming scent.

             
“I’m sorry about yesterday; I was stupid to think you wanted Sallack still. I know that this is our last day together and I’m gunna make it up to you baby.”
