A/N: this week's video for this update is an excerpt from Fuller House, which is the spin off of Full House, for those of you who don't watch it.....;);)
When watching the video, at first pay attention to DJ and her partner that are in the far left corner, but also focus on Stephanie that's in the silver dress... I'm gonna try and out into words how they're dancing, but probably won't be able to, so bear with me....;)
Bella POV
"Do you know how late you are?!? Abellia Renee Ercolani, this is your party! The least you could do is be on time!" Mom's face was getting red with building anger as she glared, wagging her finger at the clock. "You're an hour and a half late, Bella! We'll talk about where you've been later... Just go upstairs and get dressed."
Smiling placatingly, I smacked a kiss to her cheek and brushed past her up to my bedroom, tugging my tank top over my head as I went; by the time I got to my bedroom, I was naked and simply holding my clothes against myself to cover everything. Closing my door behind me, I leaned against it and blew out a breath. Had it only been an hour and a half that Luc and I had been together?!?
"Now, that right there is a view that I love!" Luc lay on my bed with his arms behind his head and his ankles crossed, a devilish smirk on his equally sinful lips; whirling, my clothes fell from limp hands onto the floor as my mouth dropped open. Damn, he made it up to my room all the way from the hills fast... "And a view that I better be the only one to see!"
Rolling my eyes, I walked across my room butt naked and fell onto my bed beside him, my tongue immediately wrapping around his as his hands ran from my shoulders to my ass and back again. "Why are you so worried about me being naked in front of other people?!? I almost didn't wanna get naked in front of you, my Mate!"
Our lips buzzed with his chuckle as he pulled away with an arched brow, fingers tangling into my hair. "You almost didn't wanna get naked in front of me?!? Baby, you're the one that pulled that dress over your head, need I remind you!"
Rolling my eyes, my tongue tangled with his as I dragged my fingernails across his chest, loving the way his breath hissed between his teeth. "You would've done it eventually, but you weren't going my speed!"
"Going your speed?!?" He rolled on top of me with a smirk, brow still arched, as his bulge continued to press against my core. "Baby, you couldn't keep up with me if you tried!"
Giggling into the kiss, I trailed my nails lower along his body and playfully flicked his nose. "Down, boy!" Then, somehow, I managed to squeeze out from under him with a huff; pointing towards my balcony, I thanked my Wolf for my new strength as I hauled him up beside me. "You need to go so we both can get ready... I'll see you soon, though, I promise!"

"Escorting Abellia is her-" Uncle Dino broke off and cupped a hand around the microphone, having a conversation with, apparently, Luc; "You're not her father... But you are a jackass for leaving her, and I can't believe she even asked you to escort her..." He fell quiet as Luc growled menacingly, the sound reverberating through the microphone. "Okay, okay, okay- you can escort her!"
Chuckling somewhat nervously, Uncle Dino grabbed the microphone in his hand again and started the introduction over, "Escorting Abellia is her used-to-be best friend, Luc! But he moved back and apparently they're best friends again..."
Rolling my eyes, I gripped the banister in white fingers and slowly began walking down the stairs, where Luc waited at the bottom; holy heat in hell! The tux he wore was the usual black with the white dress shirt, but Luc made it look ten times hotter; the way his dress pants practically hugged his bulge and his shirt moved with his pecs had me panting before I ever even reached his side. His hair was messy, as usual, as his green eyes shone, a grin on his red lips. Holy heat in hell my Mate cleaned up good!
When I reached his side, he held out a hand as his grin melted into a small smile, tucking my hand through his arm and leading me onto the "dance floor"; it was actually the living room, but we'd had all the furniture moved to make room for dancing and tables for the food. It was customary to dance the first dance of the night with your escort- which would usually be the father of the new Shifter- and I had a,sneaking suspicion that, not only had he known about the tradition, Luc had planned it that way.
"Can we get something a little faster, more upbeat?" Luc smirked at Filomena as she lounged behind the turntable, currently playing a slow waltz; turns out, Filly liked to spend her time DJing. She raised a brow between us, silently asking if I was good with whatever she'd play.
Nodding, I squealed as Luc tugged me against him, my face slamming against his pec; then, we were dancing as the fast-moving music of Macy Gray's Hands filled the room through the speakers. The song was fast, but Luc and I were faster as I followed him across the room; who knew dancing could make a guy so much hotter?!?
In seemingly no time at all, he twirled me out of his arms then right back in with a smirk as I blew out a breath; then, he pulled me into his arms bridal style for a mere second before practically slinging me around across his back then around onto the ground on his other side, almost like the jitter-bug. Somewhat dazed, I giggled as he twirled me out of his arms and right back in, again, before dipping me, clenching my thigh in his hand around his hip. ((A/N: I have no idea how to dance, have no rhythm whatsoever, so just watch the video and go with it!))
As the crowd went wild and the song faded out, I couldn't help but grin up at him even as I dodged his searching lips; didn't he know that we had to stay a secret?!? At the brush of his lips merely on my cheek, however, I almost demanded that he throw me over his shoulder and take me upstairs- almost...
"I didn't know you could dance!" His eyes were bright with laughter as he hooked an arm carefully across my shoulders, not wanting to draw too much attention to us, and led me through the now crowded dance floor to the breakfast bar that was serving as the alcohol bar; raising s brow down at me, his eyes slowly took me in, as if I were just the tall drink of water he needed. "If I let you get drunk again, baby, can you promise not to make a habit of it?!?"
"Firstly, Luciano, she's only 18; secondly, thanks so much for asking me if you could escort my daughter!" Daddy stood behind us, arms crossed with a glare in his eyes as he looked between us; goddess what exactly had he heard?!? Even as I thought that, I smiled uneasily as he tugged me against him, kissing the side of my head. "Hi, baby girl! Enjoying your party?"
Nodding, I quickly grabbed the shot glass of Wolfsbane as the bartender of the night slid it across the island to me; glancing between my Mate and my father, I winked at each of them before tipping the shot glass back. "I am now!"
If only I'd known then about how my night would end up...
~000~
Stalking out into the middle of the dance floor in front of Luc as Hands once again played through the speakers, I sent him a saucy wink over my shoulder and paused, waiting for the slow poke to catch up; while I waited, I moved my hips to the beat as my ass bounced like I didn't know was possible.
"You keep shaking that ass like that, baby, and you might just find yourself over my shoulder," he murmured huskily, breath hot against my ear as he stood flush against me, back to chest; I was practically grinding against him as he returned the favor, fingers laced with mine with low growls vibrating through his chest. Then, he twirled me out and right back in to his arms before dipping me and eying the cleavage that was practically in his face; pulling me back to a standing position, he flipped my hair over my shoulder and ran his nose from the side of my neck down the side of my shoulder and over the curve of my ass.
My ass once again began its quick, bouncing beat as he stood behind me, his crotch ever present against my body. Goddess! Then, his hands followed the trail that his nose had just taken as he growled quietly, teeth nipping at my earlobe. "Are there panties under that dress, baby?!?"
About to make my Mate's damn day, I broke off with a gasp as a face appeared just behind Luc's shoulder; oh shit, shit was about to hit the damn fücking fan! "May I cut in?"
Why did we have to throw a party just because I'd Shifted?!? If we hadn't thrown a party, my Mate, almost still kinda sorta boyfriend, and I wouldn't be going through this right now...
