《Actions Speak Louder Than Fortune Cookies》6 - Good Bra Choice
Advertisement
Rylee was two hours into her shift, wiping the bar counter in front of her. Some young girl decided to throw a drink in her now ex-boyfriend's face. All of the vodka tonic that didn't end up on his face had ended up on most of her end of the bar.
She was a little annoyed that the girl couldn't have just thrown water in the guy's face, but hey, who was she to judge. She had never thrown a drink in a guy's face, but it sure looked like it felt satisfying to do.
She had just finished wiping up the sticky mess when she glanced up to see three men walk up to the bar.
"Hey there." One of the men stepped ahead of the others and plopped down on a stool in front of her. He was wearing a Boston Red Sox baseball cap, a tight fitting navy blue t-shirt, and a pair of fitted blue jeans. This was definitely the guy that Alexa was swooning over last night. It had to be. But she hadn't really seen them much last night, and she was honestly surprised to see them here two nights in a row, especially if they were allegedly big celebrities.
"I was wondering, I don't know if you're allowed to tell me and it's okay if you can't.. but is there an Alexa working tonight?" It was almost like his mouth just couldn't hold all the words his brain was trying to say and vomited them all out at once. Was he..nervous? Well, that's cute as hell.
"What Chris meant to tack on," his friend came up from behind to grip his shoulders and then took a seat on the stool next to him, "was to say his name is Chris, I am Anthony," as he gestured to himself, "and this is Sebastian." He gestured again, now to the man on Chris' other side, who leaned over and nodded with a small wave.
Rylee could really see him now, wearing a white t-shirt under a blue jean jacket and black pants. This was the guy she had her missed connection with last night. She finally knew his name. Sebastian. She wanted to say it out loud on repeat, knowing it probably felt amazing to have roll off her tongue. Holy shit. She had seen him up close for a few moments yesterday, but she was really seeing him now. His shining blue eyes, his quirky little smirk, the way his hair was so perfectly coiffed, even after he ran his hands through it. Focus Rylee. They were asking about Alexa.

"And he would love to know if Alexa is here, because they hit it off last night and he's a shy idiot." Anthony finished.
"Wow, thanks Mackie." Chris retorted back, rubbing the back of his neck and then adjusting his hat.
"Am I wrong dude? Hmmmm?" Anthony, as he had called himself a moment ago, was wearing a maroon polo along with his black fitted jeans. He stuck out his arms in a shrugging manner wearing a smartass grin on his face.
"Since this is all going so well, and exactly as planned.." Sebastian stated jokingly, "Chris had gotten a little worried because he was texting Alexa this morning but then she dropped off and stopped responding. Which normally, most people would take a hint, but Chris didn't think this was the case. So we came down to not only grab dinner to go, but also to investigate." The other two men nodded in agreement and they all looked Rylee's direction.
"Well, you stopped the right person, because I happen to know that Alexa isn't working tonight," she made eye contact with Chris and noticed how quickly his demeanor changed to looking more disappointed. "But she's also not working because she is in a family wedding right now." His head perked up, putting together the clues.
"So that's why she stopped responding," Chris stated obviously. "She's at a wedding." His body language became much more relaxed.
"Or so we've been told. Maybe she's at a wedding but shes still just ignoring you." Anthony elbowed him in the ribs with a laugh.
"Nah, with how excited she was about texting you, there's no way she would've just dipped and ignored you. Shes been on cloud 9 since like ten this morning," Rylee joked.
"Huh? How do you know all this?" Sebastian asked curiously.
"I'm Alexa's best friend, have been since we were six, I'm Rylee," she said, sticking out her hand for Sebastian to shake.
She was surprised to feel sparks inside as he grabbed her hand to shake it. The sparks flared up even more when she noticed his eyes flicked from her face, to her breasts, down, and back up quickly. Almost so quickly she questioned to herself if it actually did happen. Good bra choice today, Rylee. She offered up her hand to shake with Chris and Anthony as well.

"Well its nice to meet you, Rylee. Were you working last night when we came in?" Chris asked.
Before Rylee could respond, Sebastian answered for her, "Yeah, she was...I mean.. she was the one who treated our last dollar worth of pool last night." He explained promptly, hoping his friends wouldn't notice. Rylee's heart fluttered a bit at the idea of him remembering her, especially after all the drinks they had yesterday. She wondered if he also remembered what happened during his karaoke moment between them. She could honestly say that she didn't care that he was a celebrity, he seems like a very caring, very funny, very handsome individual..
"Ah, well thanks for that!" Chris broke her train of thought, "Yesterday was a blast and this place is pretty chill. We're going to be in the city for a few months, so we'll definitely be coming back. Hopefully you and Alexa will be around too," Chris winked.
"We basically live in this place, so don't be surprised if you see us around," Rylee shot back quickly with a shrug.
"Well on that note, we've sadly gotta run, "Anthony said. "I'd hate to ask you to work, but we did order food to go."
Rylee laughed, "Finnneeee, I'll go work. Let me go grab it." She turned a round and walked through the swinging door, she noticed there was only one to-go bag on the counter, but the name for it wasn't any of there's. She still grabbed it and took it out front, reading the attached slip as she walked. "So, there's no order with the name Sebastian, Anthony, or Chris...there was a lone order back there for a James B. though...I'll have to ask Mi-"
"Ugh..no, that's...that's fuckin' us." Sebastian said quickly, his ears and cheeks suddenly turned a light shade of pink while Anthony and Chris glanced over at him, trying not to laugh. "Dumbasses." Sebastian said under his breath in their direction.
Rylee looked confused, but handed them the bag anyway. She knew celebrities sometimes put things under fake names to keep their anonymity but she had a feeling that name held more to it than just being some random drawn out thing.
"Thank you so much Rylee, you've been a big help today. We'll see you around!"
Chris waved as he stood up from his stool to leave.
Anthony gave her a quick wave as he grabbed their bag of food, following behind Chris.
"Oh, Chris! By the way, life tip!" Chris turned around to listen to Rylee. "Burn that hat. You're gonna get your ass kicked wearing that around here." Chris laughed, putting his right hand to his chest and throwing his head back, "Fuck you." He yelled back full Boston accent activated, throwing up a middle finger as he went through the door, still laughing.
By now, Sebastian, had gained control over his once pink tinted features, impressed with her quick witty remark to Chris. He looked into Rylee's eyes and said "See yah." And just as he did earlier, his eyes combed over her body before he smirked and walked away, trailing just behind the other two men.

Wrongfully His
#2 in Werewolf 12/05/18 Mated to a Beta and marked by his Alpha. A unique twist on the clichéd possessive Alpha stories."W-what are you doing?" I stuttered helplessly as he stepped closer so I couldn't get away since all that was around was two brick walls that were closing me in. Slowly he stepped closer, each second feeling like minutes. He let out a guttural chuckle that left my entire being trembling. "Paying Carter back" he whispered huskily cocking his head sideways causing me to gulp as his gigantic arms gripped my hips roughly. Forcefully he shifted my body up against the wall, closing the small gap in between us. Ramming his lower half into mine, he allowed every groove of his body to mesh with mine. With no thought his lips attacked my neck as I beat on his chest with all my power hoping and praying to remove him."Leave me alone!" I cried but he didn't listen. His tongue grazed my flesh expertly and in any other case I would have melted under his touch. Inhaling sharply he held me tightly, savoring the moment. Suddenly Nate pulled back slightly and just when I thought he was going to back off he did the unexpected. He opened his mouth revealing his large canine teeth. "No" I pleaded, wounding my fists in his shirt as I pushed against him. Slowly his tongue glided over them, flickering off when he hit the ends. Within a milisecond his teeth plunged deep into my flesh making me let out an ear piercing scream though no one came to my rescue. My wolf was cowering in fear of the demon man that was over powering us with each second that past. "Please" I begged weakly though he ignored me only to grip my sides harder ignoring the pitiful whimpers escaping my lips.My neck felt like it was on fire as his wolf controlled mine with little care. My knees began to shake at a rapid pace though he held me up as he continued dominating me. I grew dizzy and within seconds everything went black.
