“Be mad at me all you want, wolf boy. If I didn’t stop you two, you’d be facing public indecency charges.”
Rolling my eyes, I bring them back to the screen.
There’s no point in trying to pay attention. All I can think about is my mate next to me, his hand in mine and how his lips felt. I can still taste him. I want more.So much more.
But I won’t push. This is all new for him, and we’re taking it at his pace. He makes the moves, whatever he’s comfortable with.
Once the movie is over, Zayne is up out of his seat, my hand still in his as he pulls me through the aisle.
There’s this sense of urgency, like he needs to get out of here now.
I look behind me, brows furrowed, and see Prudence wave goodbye, a massive grin on her face.
Confused as hell, I let Zayne lead me out of the theater, through the building and out to the parking lot.
“Are you okay?” I ask, trying to keep up with him. He says nothing and I panic. That is until we get to his car and he pushes me up against it.
I’m taken by surprise as his lips crash into mine, a moan slipping free as he kisses the air clean out of my lungs.
“Sorry,” he rasps, his chest heaving. “All I could think about for the last half hour was doing that again.”
A slow grin takes over my lips as my stomach does somersaults.
“Same,” I murmur.
An adorable blush creeps onto his cheeks. Oh, this is going to be so much fun. Who knew the superstar football player Zayne got shy?
The drive home my hand is in his the whole time, like neither of us wants to let the other one go.
Once we’re home, we walk up to the house, hands still joined.
We stop at the door and face one another. “I’d guess this would be the part of the night where one of us says goodnight, let's do this again and end it with a kiss?” I tease, stepping closer.
“Yeah,” he murmurs. “Only we’re both going to the same place.” He chuckles.
“Still. Let’s do this again.” My fingers brush a lock of his wavy hair off his forehead. He visibly shivers and I can't help the satisfied feeling as I suppress a grin. I love that I affect him this way.
I worried he wouldn’t want this. Our mate bond.Me. I’m beyond thrilled that it’s not the case.
“Yeah. I’d like that.” He smiles softly. We both take a moment, the air crackling around us. I can feel it, the connection growing between us. It’s both thrilling and terrifying. I thought it might be a little awkward, but it’s not. It feels right. Meant to be.
“Asher.”
“Yeah?”
“Kiss me again?”
A purr rumbles in my chest, making Zayne’s eyes widen in surprise. Cupping his face, I lean down and kiss him. He sighs, his body swaying into mine.
I keep the kiss short and sweet, even though my wolf screams at me for more. Pushing the instincts down, I step back.
Zayne’s eyes stay shut for a few moments, lips still in position of the kiss before his eyes flutter open.
Grinning, I reach up and brush my thumb over his lips. “We should get inside.”
“Yeah.” He nods. “Yeah. Inside. The house. That we both live in.”
Laughing at his dazed state, I open the door and let him in before I follow.
