ROMANCE: PARANORMAL ROMANCE: Coveted by the Werewolves (Paranormal MMF Bisexual Menage Romance) (New Adult Shifter Romance Short Stories) (403 page)

The game continued, and Karen could still hear Stephanie and Patrick flirting.  It was becoming much more awkward, and Karen hoped that the game would be over soon.  However, it was only halftime, and Karen could already feel the disdain present on her face when she had to turn to her left.  She saw Stephanie and Patrick almost necking at one point, causing Karen to roll her eyes.

However, as soon as the halftime buzzer rang, Patrick got up.  He moved out of their row and turned to Stephanie with a wink.

“I’m going to go check on my brother.  You two hang tight, okay?” he asked.

“We will,” Stephanie cooed.

He walked away, and Karen turned to her with a grimace.

“You two need to get a room,” Karen said.

“I know.  I’m sorry, but he’s so perfect.  A guy that I can connect with so well. I’m shocked that he’s borderline famous.  He doesn’t act that way,” Stephanie replied.

Karen rolled her eyes.  She wished in a way that it was her that Patrick couldn’t shut up about.  He felt kind of alone at this point, and it didn’t help that a feeling of jealousy seemed to seep through her.  Karen wanted more than anything to just tell them to leave her alone and let her wallow in her misery of not being able to score a guy.

Patrick came back a few minutes later, and shortly after that the game started up again.  It was a heated match, and Karen felt like she was sucked into this.  She loved how intense it got, and she was watching Cody and Derek work together like they were one in the same.  Karen enjoyed this, and seeing the two of them together made her feel a bit wet down there.  She was trying to get her mind out of the gutter, but it was proving way too hard for her.

“They’re amazing,” Karen said.

“Sure are.  I told Cody that he has another fan here.  He’s playing for you,” Patrick replied.

Karen blushed, wondering if Cody would even know who she was.  He probably thought about all the cute girls in the stadium, never about her. However Karen continued to watch, enraptured by the game that was going on.

It became a whole lot more heated, and at the end the home team crushed the visitors.  Cody and Derek were monsters, and Karen loved watching them work together to beat other teams.  Karen and Stephanie got up, getting ready to leave, however, Patrick stopped them.

“By the way, I was wondering if you two wanted to come to an after party.  Cody told me that it’s happening nearby, at a friend’s house or something, and he said for me to invite the two cute girls next to me in the bleachers,” Patrick said.

Karen couldn’t believe this; she thought she was being played.  Cody wanted to see her? He thought she was cute?  This was too much.

Karen was at a loss for words, but luckily Stephanie was able to pick up the slack.

“We would love to go.  I haven’t ever been to an after party before,” she said.  Karen knew that was a lie, but she wasn’t going to say anything.

“Good.  Why don’t you come in my limo then? All the players will be there, along with a few of our friends,” Patrick replied.

Stephanie nodded in excitement, and the three of them headed out to Patrick’s limo.  Little did Karen know though, that this would soon prove to be one of the best decisions she had ever made. 

Chapter Two

Patrick, Karen, and Stephanie all got in Patrick’s limo, which was parked out front.  Karen was happy that she paid for overnight parking, because she knew that she would probably need it.  The drive was only a couple blocks too, which meant that in the morning she could go with Stephanie to pick up her car.

It was at a small house in the middle of the city.  It was strange, because usually these houses were seen out in the suburban area, but apparently they also liked to flock over to the city on occasion.  When they pulled up, Patrick got out, saying something to the driver.  Stephanie and Karen followed suit, and then they faced the home.

It was a simple brownstone, but it looked amazing. There were flashing lights everywhere, and there were people already heading inside.  Karen and Stephanie waited for Patrick before venturing inside.

The place was more like a dance hall than anything.  It was much bigger on the inside, and already there were women and men gyrating to the music.  Patrick and Stephanie went over to the bar, and Karen walked over to the side to get some breathing room.  The place was already packed, and soon Karen lost Stephanie and Patrick. They were probably hanging out with each other and getting to know one another.

Karen hated that she felt a pang of jealousy, but she did.  She wanted to be with someone, but the question was who in the world would give enough of a rat’s ass to want to be with her.  It was becoming harder to feel happy about this sort of thing, and as Karen thought about it, tears started to come out of her eyes. She tried to suppress them, but it grew harder as time went on.

Karen wanted someone. She didn’t care who, but she wanted somebody to at least talk to.  Someone who would give her the time of day, even though she knew that she probably wasn’t their type.  Sure she was beautiful, but most guys wanted someone with less personality.  They only cared about her body. 

After a moment, Karen felt a presence behind her.  When she turned around, it was two people she thought she would never run into in person.  Two men that made her open her mouth in shock and awe.

It was Cody and Derek, and they were staring at her with a smile.

Karen couldn’t believe this.  Where the hell did they come from?  And why were they behind her?

“You’re the girl that was hanging with Patrick, right?” Cody asked.

Karen nodded, her face blushing uncontrollably.

“Yeah.  That’s me,” she replied.

Cody extended his hand, smiling at her with a winning grin.  “I’m Cody.  I was playing tonight, but I’m sure my brother told you that,” he said.

“He did.  But I’m glad to meet you,” Karen stammered.  It was so hard to talk to them, and she already felt like her brain was turning into goo just looking at these two.

“This is Derek.  He’s a buddy of mine.  I’m sure you saw him as well,” Cody said.

Derek extended his hand, and Karen shook it as well.

“Pleasure to meet you my dear,” he cooed.

His voice sounded like a god, and Karen could already feel herself starting to melt at the way they spoke to her.  This was too perfect, way too perfect for her.

“Well I’m glad I can finally meet you two,” she said.

“We’re glad to meet you as well,” Derek replied.

“Have you gotten a drink yet?  We haven’t even had one glass, and I’m having a beer,” Cody said.

Karen shook her head. Besides the beer she had earlier, she hadn’t drank anything else.  The effects of that were long gone, and she was ready to have more.

“I haven’t. Let’s get some,” she replied.

He three of them wet to the bartender.  Cody and Derek each got a beer while Karen had a rum and coke. She knew she shouldn’t drink too much, but as soon as the liquid went down her throat, she felt her stomach warm up.  She knew that whatever was happening right now was way too good to be true, and this was only just a dream.

However, she knew that it wasn’t in a way.  Cody and Derek were here with her, and they were drinking with her at the bar.  Karen lost Stephanie and Patrick, although she assumed that they were on the dance floor.  Not that she cared or anything, especially since she was with two hunky guys now.

“You guys played well,” Karen said.

“Thanks.  It was a rough game, but I’m happy with how we did.  We get to play again next week,” Cody said.

“Yea.  No stupid training camps for us.  At least not yet,” Derek retorted.

The three of them chuckled. Karen seemed to understand that neither of them seemed to care for the training they had to do in their off season.  She understood that in a way, especially since she knew that the two of them worked hard and wanted to keep up their image.

They continued to talk at the bar, and Karen felt even closer to them than she was before. Karen found out that they had been friends since grade school, which made things easier between them.  She also learned that they had a strong bond with each other.  However, the one thing that made her happy as a clam though, she fact that neither of them were taken by a girl.  This made Karen breathe a sigh of relief, and she knew that it was almost too good to be true.

“So Karen, do you have your eyes on any guys?” Cody asked. A devilish grin appeared on his face.

Karen blushed, wondering if she should tell them about the crush that she had on each of them.  They were both so hot, with almost twin like features.  They both had brown hair, hazel eyes, and were built.  They were also toned as well, and Karen could see the hint of muscles that they had through their dress shirts.  Plus, their pants hugged their asses perfectly. It made Karen drool just thinking about it.

“Well, you’re both amazing men. And I have to admit, you’re really hot,” Karen said.  A part of her wondered if that was the best idea.  However, it seemed clear that the alcohol was doing a bit of the talking, especially when it came to her inner thoughts.

Derek and Cody smiled at each other, and Karen blushed as they looked at her.  She wondered what they were thinking, just what they were imagining right now.

“We think you’re really hot too.  I’m shocked that you don’t have a boyfriend.  You’re like the perfect girl,” Cody said.

“Yeah.  It would be hard to not talk to you,” Derek replied.

Karen loved the compliments the two men gave her.  She felt empowered in a way when she heard them, and she had to admit, she loved the way they seemed to perfectly roll off their tongues.

“Well, I’m single and I’m attracted to you two.  You can take that whatever direction you want,” Karen said in a sultry manner.  She took a sip of her second rum and coke for the night.  She was a bit tipsy, but nothing too crazy.

Suddenly, a pair of heels clicked over, and Karen saw a tall, lanky girl with silvery-blonde hair and blue doe eyes come over. She moved herself onto Derek’s lap, smiling at him.

“Hey there Derek, how are you?” she said.  It was obvious that she was trashed, and she was trying to get with them.

However, Derek wasn’t even paying an ounce of attention to her.  He continued to look at Karen while attempting to humor this chick.

“Hey there Janice.  You’re drunk,” he said in a pointed manner.

“And you’re sexy. By the way, what are you doing right now?” she asked.

“Talking to a cute girl that isn’t drunk like a skunk and who has more of a personality than you,” Derek said in a blunt tone.

The woman got off, rage present in her eyes when she looked at Karen.  It was obvious that she couldn’t take them talking to someone else.

“Are you serious?  I thought we were going to hang out together tonight!” she said.

“No Janice.  I never said anything about that.  You’re making up rumors again, and I think it’s best if you sit in a corner until you sober up,” Derek replied. He was chiding her, and Cody looked at her with a set of determined eyes that screamed for her to get the hell out of there.

Janice was angry though.  She came over, slapping him across the face.  Derek had to resist the urge to hit her back.

“But I thought I was the one for you!” she whined.

“I never said that Janice.  You do this every time you get drunk. I don’t like you.  Hell, I’ve never liked you.  Just because you’re the sister of one of the players on the team, doesn’t mean that you should be trying to hit on me.  Now please sober up before I ask the bouncer to escort you out of here,” Derek said in a dark voice.  Karen could see the displeasure lining his face, and she mentally hoped that this dumbass would take his advice and get the hell out of here.

Sure enough, Janice got up, scampering away in a drunken manner.  Karen waited until she was out of earshot before she turned to Derek with a questioning look.

“Who the hell was that?” she asked.

“That’s Todd Feniken’s sister.  Her name is Janice, and she’s obnoxious when she’s drunk.  She has a fascination with all the players. And she loves to choose a different player to hit on every time she gets drunk.  I’ve been her target for a long time, but there is no way I could deal with that bullshit.  She’s too crazy, even for me,” he said.

Karen nodded, happy that it wasn’t a surprise ex-girlfriend or something.  Still though, that chick acted like she was off her rocker.

“She seems nuts,” Karen remarked.

“That’s because she is nuts.  She has this crazy idea that we’re going to date her or something.  I’ve told her time and time again that I’m not interested, and that I don’t want to date a woman like that.  I never liked her, and I’ve never wanted to do anything with her, especially since she’s that crazy,” he said.

Karen understood that. She seems like a crazy ex who would stop at nothing to get a guy to notice her.  Karen fondly remembers a few of those harassing a couple of her guy friends back in the day.  Still, it did rub her the wrong way when she had to see guys being mistreated by women like that, sober or not.

“I’m sorry that had to happen to you.  But I’m glad she’s gone,” Karen said.

“You and me both.  I don’t like her at all, and she makes everything hella awkward.  Trust me, when she told me how much she wanted my dick once, I was this close to running away because of how disturbed I was,” he admitted.
