Lance stepped forward. Was she hurt? What was wrong? He managed to control himself as she turned around, as if searching for something. Ah, her bag. She was looking for her bag. She lifted the small black clutch and smiled.
“Are you ready?” he grinned.
“Yes, thank you,” she smiled and took his arm.
The feel of her small hand in the crook of his elbow set his heart to pounding. This was more than he had ever hoped for.
Once situated in the car, Lance turned the seat warmer on her side. He needed to be mindful of her delicate human nature. She was fragile, meant to be cherished. Fuck, how he wanted to cherish her. With every single inch of him.
“So, Gerri said you’re a Shifter?”
“I am. Does that bother you?” he frowned. He did not want that to be true, but he would do his best to soothe any fears she might have about his Cat.
“Uh, what kind?”
The scent of her nervousness had his Cat yowling mournfully, but he reined in the beast. She was a human. This was new for her.
Go slowly. Don’t fuck it up.As far as pep talks went, it was the best he had. Lance sucked in a breath, savoring that spicy chocolatey scent that was all Annalia. Anna, she’d said to call her, but he liked her whole name. It was unique, just like her.
She was so perfect, but fear and lies did not belong between them. So, he decided to just straight shoot it.
“I’m a Bengal Tiger Shifter,” he explained, “I can Shift into my animal at will. And though we share our existence, he has his own personality quirks.”
“Wow,” she smiled, “I love tigers. What are some of his quirks?”
“Well,” he cleared his throat, “it’s not a quirk per se, but right now my Tiger is thinking you smell fantastic.”
“Oh,” she said, her mouth forming a perfect circle.
Fucking hell. He squirmed in his seat. Damn suit. It was cutting off circulation to his balls. Or maybe that was because his entire blood supply was currently in his dick.
“Well, I am glad he likes how I smell,” she grinned.
Damn.His sweet mate had the cutest little dimple on the left side of her mouth. Lance could just imagine kissing and nibbling on the tiny indentation.
Grrrr.Yep. It was going to be a long night. He caught her watching him watching her and tried to relax. He didn’t want to frighten her with the strength of his desire, but fucking hell that was going to be hard.
Hard.Yes, he was hard. For her. Oh, that was great. Now, he was thinking about his dick again.
Change the subject,growled his Cat.
“Like music?”
“Sure,” she agreed.
“What kind?”
“Anything is fine,” she said.
“I insist, you pick,” he nodded to the dashboard.
“Okay, but I am warning you, I don’t play around.”
“What does that mean?” he laughed.
“It means, I am not going to tune into something I think you’ll like. If you are telling me to pick something I like, then I am really going to choose what I want to hear.”
“Good,” he meant it, “I want to know what music you like, Annalia. I’m curious about you.”
