the table in front of her before grabbing her hips with his
hands so that he could press her body back into him further.
Dropping her head back to rest on his shoulder, her body heated
instantly to his touch, and her muddled brain was trying
frantically to remember why this was a very bad idea. Especially as
she felt the hard length of him growing and pressing into the
cheeks of her backside. An image of the red haired Alpha quickly
floated through her mind. With a sudden shot of cold clarity, Jenna
stepped away from him and grabbed her beer bottle.
    Shooting her eyes around the room, she
assessed that none of their teammates saw the incident while also
spying a pool table in the back room. Turning around to face a
pouting Kent she gestured her head towards the back. “Do you play
pool?”
    His mouth broke into another smoldering
smile. “Hell yeah. Let me show you how it’s done, darlin’.”
Grabbing her free hand with his, he dragged her back to the pool
tables. By the time eleven o’ clock rolled around Kent and Jenna
had played several games and were currently tied. Some of their
teammates had drifted back to join them at the other empty tables
while steadily placing a growing bet on who would beat who in their
little tournament. Now close to the end of what would be their
tiebreaker game, Jenna only had two striped balls left on the table
while Kent had five solid ones. As she chugged her tenth - or was
it twelfth, it started with a ‘t’ she was sure- beer, Kent sat
halfway on a barstool in front of her.
    “How about a bet of our own, gorgeous?”
    Cocking an eyebrow, she grinned. “Depends on
the wager. What do you want to play for? Fifty? Hundred bucks to
the winner?”
    Kent smiled like a cat looking at a cornered
mouse. “Actually, I wasn’t thinking about money. I was thinking
about a kiss.”
    Surprise flashed over her face. “A kiss? I
think I’d rather the hundred bucks there buddy boy.”
    “Agreed then. If you win, you get a hundred
bucks. If I win, I get a kiss.”
    Holding her empty beer bottle for a minute,
Jenna looked at the table debating the odds. There was a damn fair
chance she was going to whip his ass at pool anyways. Why not
sucker him for the hundred bucks to teach him a lesson? Glancing
back at Kent with a confident smile she told him, “Deal.” Walking
to the side of the table Jenna leaned over and lined her shot up
for the corner pocket. This was going to be the easiest hundred
dollars she’d ever made. Too bad Kent’s pride was going to take a
hit in the process. Seconds later a chorus of cheers erupted around
them as she sank the red stripped ball in the pocket.
    Walking to the opposite end of the table so
that she now faced Kent on the far side where he still sat on his
stool, Jenna lined up a long shot to take the blue stripped ball
into the far pocket. Just as her pool stick hit the cue ball
though, Jenna felt an electric tingle race up her back. Following
the direction of the sensation her widened eyes lifted and looked
at Kent’s own startled eyes. She watched in her peripheral vision
as the blue stripped ball went wildly off the mark and missed the
pocket. Kent’s pupils were so dilated the black almost encompassed
his entire cobalt blue iris.
    Oh shit.
    Her Mama had taught her that feeling a wave
of electric sensation through the body, and a person’s pupils
expanding like that, only meant one thing. Kent was a demon .
And he had just used some kind of telekinetic power to sabotage her
shot. Cheating little bastard.
    Her heart nearly exploded out of her chest.
How unlucky could one girl get? A shifter and a demon in one
freaking day? This was some truly scary shit! Hastily setting the
pool stick down, she sprinted for the front of the bar leaving a
startled group of co-workers calling after her. What was worse, she
had to pull her speed back so that she ran at what would be
considered a fast human speed instead of the preternatural one that
she could easily let
