Free Pisces: Book 1 in a Young Adult Paranormal Romance Series (The Zodiac Twin Flame Series) by Rachel Medhurst Page B

the dress looked elegant on her. On me, it looked short. Very short. The black lace over the top half of the dress had made me feel bare at first, but the longer I wore it, the more comfortable I felt. Until now.
    ‘Nice dress,’ he said, grinning at me.
    My heart triple jumped and I gripped my water bottle.
    ‘Do you want to dance?’
    We were idle in the middle of the dance floor. Others dancers were gyrating to a sexy song I didn’t recognise. I rarely listened to the radio, or kept up with the trends. I loved to dance but didn’t usually have the confidence to let loose.
    ‘Yes!’ I shouted.
    He took my hand and tugged me deeper into the throng of people. He started to sway his body. I was surprised that he could dance well. He grabbed my hips as I moved them. I couldn’t help but let the music overtake my muscles. He pulled me against him, putting a thigh between my legs as our hips moved in rhythm together. My eyes closed briefly at the heady contact between us.
    When I opened them, I looked straight into eyes. He wasn’t much taller than me but his gaze was intense. We didn’t speak. There was no need for words. Our bodies were dancing the talk for us.
    ‘What’s your name?’
    Smiling, I debated whether to tell him. The amount of people that found my name odd, made me not want to ruin the moment.
    ‘Pisces.’
    His eyebrows rose but he smiled. ‘I’m a Pisces.’
    I almost stilled. His hands on my hips kept me swaying. He pulled me closer. I felt the warmth of his breath on my face. Was he going to kiss me? I wasn’t sure if I wanted him to.
    ‘Pisces!’ someone shouted.
    Pulling away from my partner slightly, I turned to see Scorpio close by. Was he going to interrupt my first ever dance with a handsome man?
    ‘We’ve got to go,’ he shouted when I made eye contact with him.
    I shook my head as my dance partner tightened his grip on me. Scorpio towered above us as he drew level. He wore a tight T-shirt that emphasized his strength.
    ‘Do you know him?’ my dance partner shouted.
    Nodding, I stepped out of his embrace. I wasn’t sure why I moved away from him. I just knew something was about to happen. The gunshot was drowned out by the music. No one else noticed but it had only been a week since I had last heard the sound. The crowd didn’t realise that there was a gunman in the club.
    ‘We have to go,’ Scorpio shouted again.
    My new friend held my hand. The music cut off suddenly and the DJ told everyone to evacuate.
    ‘Is everything okay?’ the man asked.
    I nodded and squeezed his hand. Another gunshot sounded nearby. Everyone heard that one. Screams rang out as people started to run for the doors.
    ‘What’s going on?’ I turned to Scorpio.
    He eyed my friend and saw that our hands were joined. His throat moved. I looked down to where my fingers were being held. It had felt amazing to be in his arms. And now there was trouble.
    ‘Pisces, get out of here,’ Aries called.
    He came into view as the crowd thinned. To my horror, he was wrestling with a man that had a black mask over his face. My new man steered us out of the crowd. Scorpio followed closely behind.
    ‘Your friends are…’ His sentence trailed off when Scorpio caught his eye.
    I watched him as we made our way outside. People pushed but he managed to find a way through. A part of me wanted to stay and make sure that Aries was okay. Had he been attacked? Was anyone shot?
    ‘We’re her brothers.’ Scorpio growled behind us.
    ‘That explains it,’ the man said, pushing open an emergency door.
    We fell onto the street. Scorpio ripped my hand away from the stranger as soon as we came to a stop.
    ‘What are you doing?’ I exclaimed.
    ‘Mate, if she’s taken, you should’ve said inside.’
    What the bloody hell did Scorpio think he was doing? He wouldn’t get away with ruining my evening. The man could be my twin flame.
    ‘She’s not taken but I’m very protective of my sister.’
    My new man’s green eyes
