“What do girls do in there?” heasked.
I loosed a sigh, then opened my eyes. Why was he always there? Did he have some internal radar that displayed my location at alltimes?
Barely moving my lips, I mumbled, “Beatsme.”
“Come.”
That made me look up. “Where?”
He nodded toward the guy’sbathroom.
“I can’t go inthere.”
“We have toiletstoo.”
They also had urinals and probably a long line of boys doing their business. “Withdoors?”
One side of Liam’s mouth curled up. “Yes.”
He leaned down until his mouth was leveled with my ear. I shivered when his hot breath pulsed against mylobe.
“If you become Alpha, you’ll need to get over yourprudishness.”
I raised my gaze toward him.But I won’t be Alpha, Liam. I won’t even be part of a pack come next week. Maybe I won’t be part of this world either.I didn’t say any of these things. Instead, because I was going to seriously pee myself if I didn’t get to a toilet soon, I accepted his proposal and trailed him to the guy’s bathroom. Two boys tried to go inside, but Liam told them to wait. He opened the door. Three guys were standing at the urinals.Great.Not awkward atall.
“Get out,” hesaid.
My jaw prickled with embarrassment when I realized he was kicking people out. The three guys turned—just their heads thankfully—and gaped at Liam. When they noticed his serious expression, they zipped up quick, and bypassing the sinks, they filedout.
“You didn’t have to kick everyone out,” I said, going toward astall.
He leaned against the door to keep it closed and gave me a smug smile. “You’d rather have had anaudience?”
No I wouldn’t. I locked myself up in a stall, and squatting over the piss-covered toilet seat, I emptied my throbbing bladder. I tried not to think about Liam standing justoutside.
As I flushed, there was banging. Liam must’ve cracked open the door because music blared against the blacktiles.
“The bathroom’s out of order,” he bellowed, just as I came out of the stall. He leaned against the metal door then planted one boot onit.
I washed my hands with the pink soap that smelled like antiseptic and artificialcherry.
“I saw you talking with SarahMatz.”
Of course he’d had an angle for helping me out and clearing the bathroom. He wanted information. Instead of beating around the bush and asking if it was illegal to chat with a Pine wolf, I said, “And you want to know what I discussed, Isuppose?”
He didn’t respond, just studied me as I approached him, wiping my hands on my dress. The sequins weren’t veryabsorbent.
“I asked her if I could borrow a dress for her brother’s wedding,” Isaid.
His eyebrows shifted over his eyes that looked amber in the bathroom’s red florescent lighting. “Why did you ask her for adress?”
“Who else was I supposed to ask? My aunt is twenty sizes bigger than me, and Evelyn doesn’t own any fancy apparel. I looked online, but unlike tuxes, there’s no shop that rents dresses inBoulder.”
The door pulsed behind him. He opened it and barked, “It’s out of order,” then leaned against itagain.
“I’m done, Liam. You can letthem—”
“I’mnotdone.”
