Exton

Tannr didnt let go of Tori as the lights came on and Ob announced that the band was taking a short break. He pulled her close and whispers, “How late is the band playing? By the gods, I could strip you right here and...”

Tannrs words are interrupted by a commotion near the front door. Jeb was trying to 'escort' one of the shifters out. He wasnt going quietly and was trying to make his case as loud as he could. One of his buddies was hanging onto one of Jeb's arms when another shifter tried to grab the other arm and free the one being hauled out.

Tannr sighs. “Damn kids. They started arguing about that girl sitting with them as soon as they got here....” He leans close and kisses Toris forehead. “I'll be back Red...” and he moves through the crowd to help Jeb.

Approaching from behind Tannr grabs one of the guys by the back of his shirt and when he starts to struggle, trying to break free, Tannr lifts him off the ground.

“What the hell? Put me down! You cant make me leave... who the hell are you?!” The young mans struggles to break free only make Tannr hang on more tightly as he makes his way to the front door, right behind Jeb.

Once outside Tannr sets the guy down and gives him a shove towards the stairs where he joins his friends.

Jeb grins at Tannr , “Thanks! I knew there was gonna be trouble with that girl and her teasing.” He turns to the young men who are standing at the foot of the steps. “Go on... you can come back tomorrow if you can behave yourselves.” He claps Tannr on the back as they re-enter the tavern.

As Tannr makes his way to the opposite end of the bar he sees the girl the shifter guys were fighting over. She is standing at the bar waiting for Monty to bring her a drink. Tannr stops and as the girl looks up her cheeks turn a faint rose color and she lowers her lashes flirtatiously.

Tannr smiles and lowers his head, “Sweetheart, Jeb said you'll be next out the door if there's any more trouble...”

The girl blushes furiously, embarrassed to be scolded when she thought he was interested. She shakes her head and quietly says “I wont cause any trouble...” and taking her drink heads back to her table.

Monty smiles at the exchange and gets Tannr a Jack and coke. “On the house. I'm sure Pandora appreciates the help. She wants everyone to have a good time, but preferably without the fighting...”
