“Hello, Ladies.” Came a voice from behind her. Biting her lip, Arywin slowly turned. Drake was standing behind her; he was smiling viciously at her. His sharp green eyes drifted up and down Arywin, making her feel uncomfortable. “Nice.”

Arywin rolled her eyes and turned back to her drink. She closed her eyes. ‘Thank God, Rave’s not here.’ That was her only thought.

“Hey Drake.” Replied Libby as she tried to get between Arywin and Drake. However Drake saw pass that. When Libby stood to greet him, Drake whipped around her to take her spot. Arywin ignored him as he brushed a strand of hair over her shoulder.

“So what have you been up to, Drake? I thought you had business tonight?” Libby asked. She was now standing in front of him. Basically offering herself to him so there’s no fight between us.

Drake turned his attention to Libby. “I got out of it earlier than planned and good thing I did too.” He replied turning back to Arywin. “Otherwise I would have missed the treat.” A smile flirted on his lips as he leaned towards Arywin.

Arywin stood. “Fuck you, Drake.” Replied Arywin as she grabbed her coat and began to leave. Strong arms wrapped around her causing Arywin to stop.

“Aw. Don’t be like this Arywin. I only want to be with you.” Said a voice in her ear. She felt his lips on the side of her neck, gently kissing her skin.

“That may be Drake, but I don’t want to be with you.” Arywin hissed through clenched teeth. Getting tired of this, Arywin elbowed Drake in the gut. Drake lifted his head as the air escaped him, his grip on Arywin loosened. Arywin pulled away from him as fast as she could without causing a scene. Arywin stood in front of Drake watching him. He stood there for a moment trying to catch his breath.

He smiled at Arywin. “Come on Arywin. You know what I want. You know that I want to be with you.” He replied, taking a step closer.

“I don’t care Drake. Just stay away from me.” Before he could say anything, Arywin turned on her heels and headed for the door. She didn’t wait for the guy to open it; she just pushed her way through. When she was a couple yards outside the doors of the club, Arywin stopped. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath. The cool outside air seemed to calm her nerves.

“Are you alright?” Arywin slowly opened her eyes to the voice from behind her. The sweetness of the voice seemed to soothe her. Arywin turned around and found Daniel standing behind her. She smiled at him and nodded as her eyes averted to the ground. “I saw you inside with that guy, so I had to make sure. Are you sure you’re ok?”

Arywin looked up at Daniel and smiled. “Yah. He’s just the annoying family friend who doesn’t understand the meaning of the word ‘no’.” Said Arywin. She looked around for the first time. The only people outside besides herself and Daniel were the guards of the club. Feeling the need for privacy, Arywin grabbed Daniel’s hand. “Follow me.” She said as she turned and lead him down the street. Arywin took off at a brisk pace, trying to put as much distance between herself and the club.

They walked for some time in silence. “Woo. Where’s the fire?” joked Daniel. Deciding they were far enough, Arywin turned into an alleyway. She laughed at how far she had taken them.

“Sorry, I just wanted to get away from there.” She replied leaning up against the wall.

“I can understand why.” He stated as he stood in front of her. His hands were in his pockets while his eyes looked around everywhere but to her. Arywin raised an eyebrow and then leaned forward. It was only when she was standing right in front of him, did Daniel’s eye fall on her. He smiled down at her. “Sorry, I sometimes get a little paranoid. Especially when I’m in a place that I haven’t been before” Daniel looked back down the dark alleyway.

Arywin followed his gaze. She didn’t mind the darkness, it hide things that people don’t want seen. Arywin took a breath and looked back out into the street.

“So who was that guy?” Arywin turned her head and saw Daniel looking at her. She cleared her throat.
“His name is Drake. He’s a friend of Libby and Libby’s a friend of mine as well. However, my brother and Drake don’t get along and I’m not to fond of him right now either.” Replied Arywin as she stepped back again to lean against the wall.

“Why?” Daniel asked as he stepped closer to Arywin. Arywin looked up at him. Her breath caught in her throat as she tried to find the words.

“It’s a long story and I don’t feel like telling it.” She replied. Daniel was now standing directly in front of her. All he had to do was lean forward a couple of inches and then their lips would touch. Arywin could easily get out of this spot but she found that she didn’t want to. She wanted to be close to him, have his arms around her again. The thought of his hands on her sent shivers up and down her spine. “So now what?” she asked, trying to start the conversation again.

“You tell me. You’re the one who led us here.” Daniel stated. Arywin smiled in embarrassment.
“Well, I can’t go home yet. If my brother found out what happened tonight then he’d be furious.” Arywin replied. She looked out into the street again before looking up at Daniel again. He was now smiling at her. He lifted his arm to look at the watch on his wrist.

“What time do you need to be back?” He asked looking over his watch at her.
Arywin shrugged her shoulders and looked away. “Before dawn. I have to be in my house before the sun rises. Why? What time is it?”

Daniel lowered his arm. “It’s currently 12:15.” He replied. Arywin’s eyes widened. She had only been at the club for two hours. Sighing, she laid her head back against the wall and looked up at the sky. Daniel cleared his throat causing Arywin to look at him in confusion. “Well I know a way we can pass the time.” He said with a huge smile on his face.

“Oh? And how is that?” She asked falling right into the trap he had set. He didn’t reply, just acted. Before Arywin had a chance to think, Daniel leaned closer and pressed his mouth firmly to hers. Arywin wasn’t prepared for this. Her mind clouded over the moment his lips touched hers. She was defenseless, her mind blank. She felt him pushing her against the wall; his arm wrapped around her while the other one was against the wall supporting them.

A moan stretched across her lips as she felt his hand drifted up and down her back. Unable to help herself, her own hands explored his chest and shoulders, deepening the kiss even more. Daniel pulled away for a moment to catch his breath and then was kissing her again. Her hands tangled in his hair, refusing to allow him to back down. Both of his hands were on her hip now. His body press up against hers.

‘Wow.’ was the only thought the stretched across her mind. His hands traveled up and down her body, just skimming the surface. Excitement exploded inside of her. His mouth left hers to explore her face and neck. Arywin kept her eyes closed, giving into the feel of him. She hissed when she felt him bite her neck. She wanted so badly to bite him but the thought was clouded over again when his mouth found hers again. Her body became weak as she sunk deeper and deeper into her own passion.
