Chapter Two

Regans POV

I kept my face schooled as I ignored the sparks. It wouldn't do for Claire to figure out who Dominique was. "My name is Regan. This lovely woman is my wife Claire" I said putting my hand behind her back. "Great to meet you both" She said. The bouncer let us all in and we made our way to the VIP table. There were a group of people already there. "Nic!" One of the men yelled and pulled her into a hug. I could feel the rage from my wolf and I took a deep breath trying to calm him.

My mate was human, I would never be allowed to have her. I soon realized my anger was misplaced when the man who hugged my mate then kissed his boyfriend, or lover, I'm not sure. "Who is this lovely couple?" Someone else from the table asked. "This is Regan and Claire. There was some sort of mix up with their table so I invited them to join us" She said with a shrug and took a seat. We followed suit and I found myself seated right beside Dominique.

Her vanilla and cinnamon scent surrounded me and it was hard to keep my composure. "Thank you for having us" I said with a tilt of my head to everyone. Soon a waitress came up with a couple of fresh ice buckets with bottles of champagne sticking out of them. "So are you both celebrating?" Someone at the table asked. "Yes we're celebrating a victory" Claire chimed in. "Nice" someone responded. "And you?" Claire asked.

"Well I just landed a new job" Dominique said. "Congratulations" I said with a strained smile. "What do you do?" I asked her. "Kindergarten teacher" She said with a big smile. "That's excellent" I told her. If I hadn't been the king I would have liked to be a teacher. Soon the music changed and my mate's eyes widened. "Oh we've got to dance" She said pulling a friend to the floor with her. I followed her and watched her sway her hips sensually to the music. My slacks tightened as I imagined her moving like that against me. I imagined what she would feel like with my cock buried inside of her.

"Care to dance?" Claire asked me. My eyes snapped to hers and smiled "Of course my Queen" I said. I stood and offered her my hand. We walked to the dance floor and she stepped in front of me. Her butt pressed against my groin and she circled her hips. Surely she felt my bugle as she turned her head to me, however my eyes remained on my mate. Her hands traced down her body, passing every curve. My eyes followed their path, imagining they were my hands. I'm sure her skin felt as soft as silk.

My gaze was pulled away when Claire grabbed my chin and turned my face to hers. Is she your mate? She asked me in a link. Yes but it doesn't matter. She's human I told her. Claire sighed and nodded her head. I received a link from the palace. It seems we're needed Claire said. My eyes flicked to my mate for a brief second and Claire let out a huff. Stay and have one night to satisfy your wolf. Then reject her Claire said. She gave me a chaste kiss on the lips and walked away.

I couldn't help but watch her go in shock. However I wasn't shocked for long because I felt a small hand on my arm. I turned to see Dominique there "Is everything okay?" She asked looking towards Claire's retreating form. "More than okay. Care to dance?" I asked her. Dominique had a hesitant smile on her face for a brief second before it brightened and she nodded her head. She place a hand on my arm as it slide around her waist. We swayed with the music and I surrendered to the mate bond.

Eventually we made our way back to the table for more champagne. I could tell it was starting to hit my mate because she was more giggly and definitely more flirty. "You're so handsome" She said looking at me. "You really think so?" I asked her with a smirk. Her hand came to my face hand came to my beard and scratched a little. I closed my eyes and a little rumble came out of my chest. When my eyes opened I could see the flush on her face and could smell her arousal. The tips of her fingers traced down my neck to the collar of my shirt causing me to swallow hard.

"Want to get out of here?" She said with a smirk. "Absolutely" I said. She said goodbye to her friends and I called us a car. On the drive to her place I could tell she was a little nervous. "What's wrong?" I asked her. Her eyes darted to me for a second before she sighed. "Maybe this isn't a good idea" She said. I felt like my heart was going to break but tried to ignore it. "What do you mean?" I asked. "Well I mean your married" She said motioning to my ring. I let out a sigh of relief that, that was her only reason for hesitation.

"It's okay Dominique. Claire gave her blessing for this one night" I said. I wouldn't go into detail about the rest of what she said but I could at least tell her that part. "Really?" She asked shocked. "Claire is a very practical woman. She could tell I was immediately attracted to you" I explained. It was so much more complicated than that though. My mate nodded her head with a blank face. "If you've changed your mind then that's fine" I said. I didn't want to pressure her into anything. Dominique stared at me for a long moment, nibbling on her bottom lip as she contemplated what she wanted to do.

Finally it seemed she had made her decision because she pulled my lips against her. It was like fireworks behind my eye lids. There was so much passion and heat in the kiss. It would have been amazing anyways because of the mate bond however since it was forbidden there was something extra. I had to know what she tasted like. I slide my tongue along her bottom lip and she granted me access. Just like her scent she tasted like vanilla and cinnamon. "We're here" The driver said bored. We separated from each other, both panting from lack of oxygen. Dominique got out of the car and offered me her hand. "Just one night" I repeated. "I know" She said. I don't know whether my words were meant to remind her...or me.
