Shewolf

Chapter 16: 1st date

"What about this?" I walk out of the wardrobe in a denim mini skirt and mesh black top.

"Hot as f**k" Milly yells out looking up from her phone.

"She's right. You're too hot" Freya taps her chin.

"Isn't that kinda the point?" I admire how the denim hugs my ass in the full length mirror.

"This is a first date, we want class."

"Hold the phone" I delve back into the wardrobe and grin as I find the dress said phone is being held for. I put it on and spin as I walk out to the girls. 

"Now that's more like it" Freya grins. The dress is a light blue wrap dress that stops mid thigh and wraps around, framing my cleavage perfectly. Freya puts some oil thing in my hair to tame my natural waves which smells really heckin good and I put on some silver hoops and a simple necklace with a little moon charm. I ponder over putting on foundation but decide against it: I don't need it and it normally just makes me feel uncomfortable. Instead I settle for some eyeshadow, mascara and gloss. I reach for my big doc martens but Freya bats my hand away and passes me a pair of black heels instead. I roll my eyes but put them on as Freya scares me a LOT.

I give myself a once over in the mirror and my eyes widen- it's not often I feel beautiful but holy f*****g s**t I look hot. Even if I keep falling over in these damned shoes. Freya claps her hand, pleased with her work and Milly whistles at me with a wink. I giggle and check my phone for the time to make sure I'ts not 6 yet. It's 6.12.

"Bugger!" I race out the room as fast as my heeled feet will carry me, grabbing my black clutch and flying down the stairs. I'm rounding the corner to the last flight when I trip over myself and crash down to the carpet with an oomf.

Snickers fill my ears as I stand up and brush myself off with a sigh. You see most people would be embarrassed that my ludicrously hot date and his friends just watched me run down the stairs 10 minutes late and faceplant the floor but when you've fallen over in public as many times as I have you learn to rock it. 

"Smooth titch" I look down the stairs to find Ben leaning against the wall with Rex laughing at me. I glare at them both before my eyes find Kade and I literally can't breath. 

Sweet baby Jesus.

He's wearing dark jeans that perfectly frame his sculpted legs and a white button-down shirt with the top buttons undone and the sleeves rolled up, his jacket slung over his arm and his salt and pepper curls tousled perfectly.

"Goodbye Ben" he growls at the still giggling boy who pouts and walks out the hall.

"Be safe kids!" He calls as he disappears. 

I walk down the stairs towards Kade trying to look as graceful as possible without falling on my face again and smile as I reach him. 

"Sorry I'm late" I mutter feeling bad for keeping him waiting. 

"Trust me, it was worth the wait" his eyes rake up and down my body as he licks his lips. "You look incredible" he holds my hand and spins me around, his eyes never leaving my body. I blush at his compliment, biting my lip. 

"So do you" I reach up and kiss his cheek before leading him out the front door.

We walk hand in hand to the garage and stop by a beautiful red Lamborghini which literally looks like it costs more then my house in England. He unlocks it and smirks at my shocked expression, opening the passenger door for me and I climb in. He hops in the other side and starts the engine, pulling out of the garage. Before long his hand finds my knee sending sparks right to my core and cover his hand with my own.

We make small talk as he drives us away from the pack territory and before I know it we're entering a small town. He parks and whips round to open the door before I can. Such a f*****g gentleman.

"Where are we?" He helps me out as I'm hopeless in heels being the clumsy fool I am. 

"This is a human town outside the pack territory. We have connections with a lot of businesses here." I shudder a bit at the term 'human town', it just sounds wrong.

"I see. Where are we going?" I ask as he guides us towards the center of the town, his large rough hand cradling my small one.

It's still light outside as we walk through the town and I'm pleased to announce that I'm walking like a normal person in the heels. There's the sound of people laughing on the streets creating a friendly vibe. I can't help but smile and lean into Kade as we walk, his thumb drawing circles on my palm and electricity zapping wherever he touches as usual.

We stop outside a small Italian restaurant with fairy lights outside and I grin up at Kade. He smiles down at me and we walk in.

The waiter is a tall attractive guy with dark hair and tanned skin and it doesn't take long to realise he is checking me out big time, his eyes falling straight to my cleavage. I cling to Kade trying to stop the growl that is building in his throat but I can't stop the death glare that would make any sane person squirm. He tightens his grip on me and I can't help but smirk at his protectiveness. The poor waiter looks terrified and smiles weakly before turning and guiding us through the restaurant.

We're led to the back of the restaurant where a round table sits away from the other customers. Fairy lights hang from the ceiling casting the most romantic glow on the room. We sit down and the waiter leaves us to it with kade throwing daggers in his back. I just laugh as he focuses his attention back on me.

"You're hot when you're jealous" I tease and he growls playfully in response. The table is set up so we're sitting right next to each other but he isn't happy with this as he pulls my chair closer still so I'm practically sat in his lap. He wraps an arm around my waist and I'm trying to untangle myself from his strong hold when a large handsome man in his 50s walks towards us, a huge grin on his face.

"Kade! It's been too long" he clasps Kade's free hand. "And who's this beautiful woman next to you?" He reaches out a hand to me which I reciprocate and I'm surprised when he bends down and kisses it. 

"Marco, it's good to see you again. This is my girlfriend Jasmine." My head swivels up to Kade as his stormy eyes glint down at me. Girlfriend? I know it's literally been 2 days but it sounds so... right. Weird. 

"Well you are a very lucky man" Marco's eyes sparkle at me in the light and I feel a blush creep to my cheeks. I will admit Marco is a bit of a silver fox. 

"Oh I know" Kade replies, squeezing me tighter to his side.

"So will it be the usual?" Marco clasps his hands in front of him beaming down at us.

"You know me too well. What do you want little one?" 

"Do you do pasta?" Marco scoffs.

"Do we do pasta. Beauty and humour I see. I'll make you the best pasta you will ever taste." He turns and leaves and the waiter from earlier comes over with a bottle of wine. He smiles at me before gulping at Kade's expression and I do the same when Kade's hand lands on my thigh. It's a protective gesture but the touch spreads heat through me that goes straight between my legs.

We drink and talk as we wait. Talking to Kade is so easy it feels like I've known him for years. I can't help but do a little happy dance when the food comes with a beaming Marco. 

"Ok so we have garlic bread, steak for you Mr Black and for you bellissima we have pasta a la Marco. Bon apetite!" He bellows as he waltzes out the room.

The food is incredible and I let out a moan as I savour the delicious creamy pasta in front of me. Marco wasn't lying, it is the best pasta I have ever had. Kade's steak is amazing as well and don't even get me started on the g bread. It's like heaven in carbohydrate form. We manage to clear our plates despite the massive portion sizes and I high five Kade in triumpth making him chuckle. We drag ourselves from our seats and bid Marco farewell and I promise we will be returning as he kisses my cheek. I could live in that place and live a happy and content life filled with all the garlic bread and pasta you can imagine.

With Kade's strong arm wrapped around me we make our way back to the car. The evening has been so amazing I feel on top of the world.

Water splashes down on me and I look up as I see more droplets falling on heavily down on us. I knew it was too good to be true.

Kade hugs me close trying to cover me from the rain as it starts pelting down. It's that stuff that feels like someone has thrown a bucket of water over you, soaking us instantly. I cup Kade's face laughing and break free of his hold, looking up the the sky and spinning. I know, very impressive in heals. I hear his husky chuckle as he grabs my hand and spins me some more, my dress clinging to me.

I finally stop and turn to face Kade still laughing but my face falls as I see his expression. He's just staring down at me, his eyes stormier than ever. I can't help but notice how his shirt clings to his chiseled abs as his chest rises and falls quickly. I lock eyes with him again and the whole world just stops.

He tugs me towards him and I can't think before his lips crash onto mine.

Fucking. Fireworks.

He moves his lips furiously against mine as his hands find my face, pulling us closer together. I follow his lead, moving in sinc with him and deepening the kiss. His hands find there way into my hair my arms wrap around his neck desperate to be closer to him. I feel his teeth gently graze my lower lip and I moan at feeling which he takes advantage of, slipping his tongue in and exploring my mouth. We battle for dominance, our tongues dancing with each other as the rain falls down on our bodies furiously. My hand finds its way to his chest and I trace his well defined muscles through the soaking material, drawing a groan from him which goes straight through me to my core. 

Reluctantly, I pull away to catch my breath, our bodies still close. We both stand there, breathing heavily and enjoying the feeling of the rain on our skin cooling us down. Applause suddenly fills the air and we turn to find people standing outside of shops and restaurants cheering and clapping at us. We laugh and I ignore the blush on my cheeks as I bow theatrically. I notice Marco is among the crowd as well as a very pissed off looking waiter. Spinning back around I hide in Kade's chest as he chuckles and wraps me in his strong arms, kissing my forehead.

We hurry as quickly as we can back to the car which is not very quick due to my heel capabilities. Eventually Kade gets frustrated and picks me up bridal style as we run through the rain to the car. He opens the door and puts me down gently in the seat. Ugh he's cute.

The whole drive back is spent just grinning at each other like lovesick puppies.

Because that's what we are.

I'm a lovesick werewolf.
