Cillian watched her pensive expression and knew she was thinking far more than she was saying aloud and he liked that. He didn't like yappy stupid little girls. They reminded him of yipping, fluffy little Pomeranians which annoyed the fuck outta him. Lotus was quiet and but she spoke with purpose-like a real alpha woman. He nodded at her comments, accepting them at face value and knowing that extravagant words could get a person killed if they weren't careful. Choose a bottle of what you want and I'll buy it. the large Scotsman answered calmly. He felt a growing amount of eyes on him and it made him edgy. Too many prying people sometimes saw things that he wasn't careful enough to cover up. As a werewolf, he would always be subtly different among humans and he was aware that very few were observant enough to notice. Cillian however, was very drunk and his judgement was skewed when he needed to be alert to danger. After the bullshit with Lana, he had wanted nothing more than an escape to the nearest place that offered booze and maybe some casual company. A cheap, desperate looking slut walked closer and her pheromones were off the charts high. The lycan's nostrils flared at the smell of cheap booze, sex and a cocktail of dirty drugs as Amber got closer. Cillian was repulsed by her, but it looked like Lotus would see to the problem without him having to do a thing about it. He avoided female on female conflicts as all Alpha males did in typical werewolf society. The Alpha bitch was the only female in the pack that was allowed to mate with all the males. In the lupine world, females were the dominant species and made the decisions. The male wolves didn't interfere when females vied for status because they could get killed in the process. With males, instinct ruled them and they only wanted the Alpha or nothing at all. Lotus stared down the lesser female, grabbed a fistful of his shirt and aggressively took possession of his mouth. Her lips were soft and pliant, moist and delicious. But her mouth was strong and assertive--which he liked very much. Cillian scented her rise in pheromones, marking him as hers to do with as she chose. He kissed her back, his facial hair warm and strong against her face, his arms encircling her completely in a wall of uncompromising muscle. His sharp lupine hearing heard Amber stomp away on her cheap, brittle heels and when Lotus broke the kiss, their lips still clung for a brief moment longer. Lotus' whispered comment had him chuckling at her mention of cost and he replied with amusement, I could easily spend five thousand a night here and it wouldn't use up the interest alone of what I make. Money isn't a problem for me, goddess. He loosed his arms from around her, noting the tension in her frame. The large werewolf was surprised when she'd jumped off his lap and tried to tug at his wrist. A small smile made his eyes glint at her efforts, knowing she didn't stand a chance in hell of moving him unless he intended to go anywhere. He let her tug for another few seconds before he removed his large frame from the chair and finally stood with those very long legs beneath him. As much as he liked her invitation, perversely, it still highly amused him to watch her little hands trying to drag him behind her. He kept up a slight resistance, just to test her strength and determination, before following behind her with a giant stride that made up three of her normal ones. This was about to get good...
