"C'om on BamBam let's go to Esther's." Myra sang to her white peekapom who lay on his back. He had a quick nap as she got ready. "Mama is looking forward to this evening." She cooed as they headed to the door. It was New Year's Eve and she was invited to join her friends at an exclusive party at an upscale hotel in the city.
Her dog wiggled excitedly in her arms she knocked on her neighbours door. It had been several months since she'd been able to go out for a good night with no expectations.
Her neighbour opened her door wide and with a big grin on her face. "Hello Myra, hello BamBam." She held out her arms and they transferred the happy dog.
Esther tickled BamBam and looked carefully at Myra. "You look amazing love. That dress is to die for!"
Myra laughed and twirled around carefully on her four inch heels. "Thanks Myra. I bought it last week." After her last relationship had ended she'd been struggling to get that positive boost. It was nice to receive a compliment from her friend. "I feel pretty fly, so don't wait up yeah? I'll come collect the mutt when I wake up if that's okay?"
Esther winked at her. "Have fun my dear. Don't do anything I wouldn't do."
They both laughed and Myra's phone pinged. Myra glanced at her watch. "Ah my friends will be here in ten. I'll just pop home and grab my bag. Happy New Years!"
Before she headed downstairs she took a final look in the mirror. Her dark red hair hung to just below her chin in straight choppy locks. Her green eyes popped due to a good application of make-up. Her white skin was dewy and flushed in the right places. Her make-up was on point.
As Esther had told her the pale pink corset dress did her figure nothing but favours and she had tested its ability to withstand enthusiastic dancing in changing rooms. She'd bought extremely high heels which she wore in each night over the last few weeks. She was short so high heels got her closer to average height and she loved the way her legs looked with the short dress and four inch heels.
She threw her coat over the dress and headed downstairs to start the evening.

Stefan was seated at the members only section of the club. His partner Jax came over and sat down with their drinks. Stevan picked up his drink. "I love that your cousin married the owner of this hotel."
Jax sat next to him "Yeah, we'll take full advantage of that." He leaned in, kissed Stefan's cheek before he sucked on his earlobe. "Do you want to find someone to join us tonight?"
Stefan shivered, under the table he gripped Jax's thigh tightly. "I'm also happy I met a fellow wolf shifter with the same sex drive and kink as me." He stroked Jax's thigh, Stefan moved so they could kiss deeply. As the kiss softened Stefan whispered. "That sounds like fun. Let's take a walk around and see who takes our fancy."

Myra had a good time as she danced and laughed with her friends. They'd drunk a lot and she needed to go to the bathroom.
The toilets were in the lobby so she yelled into her friend Sarah's ear. "i'll be back in a minute."
Sarah nodded. "We'll wait for you here."
Myra walked back to the ballroom when a man blocked her path.
He smiled down at her. His eyes were a muddy green colour, his hair a dirty blond and it was badly cut. His clothes were a bit baggy and ill fitted. Worst of all he gave off a creepy vibe. "Hi, my name's Elliot. Are you having a nice time?" His smile didn't reach his eyes.
Myra politely smiled up at him. "Yeah I am. Thanks Elliot. I hope you have a great night but I need to get back to my friends. Happy New Year!"
She went to walk around him when he put his hand out and grabbed her upper arm. Not tightly enough to hurt but tight enough to stop her progress.
Myra looked down at her arm and then looked him in the eye. Calmly and in a low tone of voice she said. "I suggest you get fucking hand off my arm immediately or I will scream. You may not have got any attention right now but I can promise you that I'll not let you stop me from going back to my friends."
They stared at each other for a loaded moment when he let her go. "Stupid bitch I just wanted to get to know you better is all."
Myra didn't even bother to reply. She wouldn't let an entitled idiot ruin her fun tonight. She wasn't here to pick up, she was here to hang with her girls, have fun and cheer in the year.
She seethed as she walked back into the party to find her friends, grabbed a drink and got back onto the dance floor. There was still an hour before the countdown began and she wouldn't let this incident spoil her night.

Stefan and Jax enjoyed themselves but hadn't found anyone they wanted to join them.
Jax danced with his pack mates. They laughed and played the fool. Stefan smiled. He was happy his partner had such a good time. It had been hard for Jax to leave his hometown. He still missed his immediate family but his cousin's pack helped fill that gap.
Stefan moved along the outside of the dance floor when he caught her scent. Fresh and spicy. He thad to rack her, work out which of the human women he had scented.
He located her. Well at least the back of her and he nearly dropped to his knees. Her arse was plump and firm. He wanted to squeeze those round globes whilst he fucked her.
He would let Jax know he not only found the woman they would try to pick up tonight but also the woman they would keep forever. She was their mate and neither of them would rest till they agreed she felt the same way.
Jax had sensed his distraction and came over to see what had his attention. Jax leaned his front to Stefan's back. Rested his head on Stefan's shoulder and spoke in his ear. "That is a nice arse." Jax breathed in her scent, his growl vibrated against Stefan's whole body. "Ours"
Stefan nodded and growled back. "Yes."

The music pumped, lights flashed and the crowd danced. Myra was lost in the rhythm, moved by the music. She sang aloud and felt one with the crowd. It was late or early depending on how you wanted to look at it. As the song wound down and before the new one took hold Myra decided to call it a night.
She'd had fun, let her hair down but she was tired and she needed water. She motioned to her friends that she would go for a drink.
Myra weaved her way off the dance floor and made her way to the bar. As she waited for her water she realised she was done. Her feet hated her and all she wanted to do was wash her face and crawl into bed.
The bar was not crowded so she was able to get a drink quite quickly. She swigged thirstily from her overpriced bottle and cast her eye over the nightclub. The longer she stood there the more she was over it. She'd cheered in the new year and danced for hours but now she was done.
Her shoes may look killer on but Christ on a stick her feet ached. She couldn't wait to take them off. Not to mention get out of this dress and into loose comfortable clothing. Corset dresses may look the bomb but after several hours she wanted to breathe and relax.
The hotel the party was at was in a good part of town. She wasn't worried about going home by herself from here. She hadn't seen the creepy guy since she'd walked away from him and there would be enough people in the lobby to be safe enough to wait for her ride.
Her friends regularly would stay out later than her. She didn't need them to cut short their night because she was too old to stay out all night even on the last night of the year.
People danced, couples made out in the booths and people drank and conversed. She idly people watched and finished her water. A couple of men checked her out. Myra was surprised by this. She'd spotted them a few times over the course of the evening. She had jumped to the conclusion that they were a couple.
She'd watched them dance and kiss a few times. They looked pretty established and so she'd enjoyed subtly checking them out. She scanned the room again and yep they definitely gave her vibes they were interested in her.
She ignored them and headed back to the dance floor to tell her friends she was done and would head home.
