Chapter 3

Irene P.O.V

Work the next day was a circle of taking care of patients and obsessing over my thoughts. Pass the pills" but he's a werewolf" talk to a doctor." But he's freaking hot"start an IV. This is a terrible idea to discharge a patient. Note to self: wear that Lacy underwear with a matching bra. When I sat down to lunch looking forward to some uninterrupted obsessing. I noticed a text from Ethan.

Ethan: are we still on for tonight?

I couldn't help it I had to tease him

Me: may I ask who is this?

Ethan: really? How many people are asking about your plans tonight?

Me: I have so many good and enticing offers just trying to figure out which one to choose.

I giggle to myself and it wasn't up to Three seconds before my phone started ringing.

" Hello?"

" Who else is trying to take you on a date tonight?" I giggled again. He sound irritated so I let the joke go.

" No one. I was just trying to tease you, I'm looking forward to seeing you". He let out a breath of relief and laugh.

" I'm looking forward to it as well, can I pick you up at six?"

" Sure, bye Ethan".

" Bye Irene ".

" God I love the way he says my name, gosh I'm crazy. He says my name like everyone else, well no he doesn't. He says it with that deep voice and sexy inflection like he would say it the same way if his dick was inside me right now. Oh my God, get your mind out of the gutter girl.

After work, I showered, shaved every inch of hair that need to be shaved, moisturized the shit out of myself and put on a black wrap dress over my matching red lace bra and underwear set, and completed the look with some strappy black heels. I looked myself over in the mirror.

Damn girl, you are so beautiful.

Before my inner monologue could compliment me further, the buzz of the door alerted me that my fine spouse of date as arrived. I put on my cloth and met him at the front door.

" Hello, beauty" oh my gosh isn't he just a charmer?

" You look pretty handsome yourself". He was, he was wearing a black button-down shirt with the sleeve rolled up to his elbow and grey dress pants, but no coat.

" Aren't you cold?"

" No, I tend to run warm". He winked at me.

" Oh, yeah that makes sense ".

I giggled as I slid into the passenger seat of his truck holding the door for me. We chatted on our way to the restaurant, I kept staring at his profile wondering why a man as gorgeousass hassterested in me. A couple of times I caught him looking at me. Once he seems particularly interested in my thigh where my dress rolled up a little from me sitting with my legs crossed. We pulled off at a restaurant about twenty minutes later.

" I hope you like Italian dishes".

" I love it, but no steakhouse?" He laughs and God knows I love the sound of his laughter.

" Maybe next time".

Next time? He's already planning for a next time.

I couldn't decide if that was arrogantly annoying or vulnerably adorable. He opened the door for me and ushered me inside with his hand on the small of my back. Evthroughugh my coat and dress, I could feel the spark of his touch cause through me. Once we arrive at our table I took off my coat and his gaze runs over my body immediately. His eyes met mine and his pupils had nearly turned black. He shook his head slightly and look back at me, his eyes back to that beautiful mixture of colors I was already becoming attached to it.

" You look gorgeous tonight, Irene".

"If you like this dress, you did like what is underneath it". I whispered into his ear.

" Don't tempt me, love". He whispered back.

My cheek flushed as his eyes turns black again. Next time? Oh yeah, there is going to be a next time.

Ethan P.O.V

From the moment I picked her up, Irene kept me entertained I can't believe how easy a conversation can go between the both of us, I had never felt so comfortable being around women. She has a way of listening to you that makes you feel like the center of her world and it had been a long time since someone made me feel that important. I explained my life, the pack house, and the different members of my family.

" So you have two brothers?"

"Yes".

" Are they younger or older?"

" I'm the oldest".

How many members belong to your pack?

" Well .. just over five thousand now, we are growing though. We are broken up into multiple small towns, we look at it more like a community a nice place to raise children, some werewolves look at their packs like killing machines trying to take over other packs and become the largest they can be. We enjoy peace and quietness we only fight to defend ourselves.

" I can relate to that, it must be nice having siblings, I also wished I had sisters growing up, are you close to your brothers?".

" Yes I am, especially with Paul my immediate younger brother, I talk to him whenever I need someone to talk to ".

It was nice that she already knew about my kind, I can imagine being mated to a human and having to explain all of this. On top of how at ease she made me feel, she was completely and amazingly gorgeous. I have never seen a woman as beautiful as her, when she took off her coat and I got my first look at her body, my wolf almost took over and tried to seal the mate bond right on our table. She was in with firm breasts and somewhat muscular arms and her legs were curvy ending in dainty ankles.

I wonder how they would feel wrapped around my waist. This intrusive sexual thought kept entering my mind at random times throughout the evening. When she took her first bite of dessert and moan, I nearly lost my shit. Too quickly the meal ended and I had to take her home, but I don't want her to think that I'm pushy. On the drive back to her place I was thinking over my strategy, I wanted her to ease into our relationship to build feeling on her own without being forced by the mate bond. I was going to ask her to spend the rest of her life and change everything for me. I needed to be respectful and understanding as possible.

" Will it be alright if I kiss you?"

" What? I'm still a guy, I had pulled up at the front of her apartment building and she was looking at me with wide eyes, obviously surprised by my question. After a bit, she smiled and nodded.

" Say it, love".

" Yes, you can kiss me".

I leaned over and cupped her cheek in my hand and slowly lowered my head to meet her lips. I felt her warm breath on my lips. I hovered for a moment in case she changed her mind. When she didn't pull back I pressed my lips to hers, barely at first but the spark between us felt like fireworks and I quickly deepened my kiss. I ran my tongue over her bottom lip and asked for entrance into her mouth. She put her hand on my shoulder and leaned as close to me as she could and opened her mouth for me. I was able to explore her with my tongue. She tasted sweet and delicious. I could keep kissing her for the rest of my life. She moaned into my mouth and sucked on my bottom lip, this little action made my dick erect. I hoped she would get too many ideas as it was too early for that. I unzipped her coat a little while she was otherwise occupied and grudgingly pulled back from the kiss. I pulled the sleeve of her dress back a little.

" What are you doing?" She had a dazed look on her face that did wonders to stroke my ego.

I couldn't let you leave without seeing what was under your dress. I pulled the fabric covering her breast back and got a glimpse of her red lace bra, I groaned and she giggled before zipping her cloth back up.

" Thank you for dinner. It was lovely".

" Lovely enough to do it again?"

"Yes absolutely".

" How about tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow ?"

I will be in town for just a couple of weeks more and I don't want to waste time on bullshit social etiquette about waiting for a certain amount of time before calling you.

She looked at me for a minute before laughing and I barely controlled my urge to suck on her neck and mark her as mine.

" Tomorrow sounds good, you can come to my apartment and I will cook for you".

" Okay, I'm looking forward to it. Goodnight Irene ". I leaned forward to kiss her again, a quick kiss that left me wanting more.

" Goodnight Ethan".

She slipped out of my truck and went straight into her apartment while I sat there looking at her figure disappear into the building, still savoring the taste of the kiss left in my mouth, if the rest of my pack could see me right now, that would probably tease me if how deep I'm falling in love with my little mate.

When I arrived back at the hotel, I stripped myself down and got into the shower. There was no way I could sleep with my dick as hard as a rock, I stood under the hot water and imagined Irene in there with me. Kissing her, touching her, and hearing the sound of her moan as I played with her. It was a word record of how I finished quickly, I drifted off to sleep immediately wishing she was there with me, laying In my arms and leaning her head on my chest.

" Oh yeah". I thought to myself I'm done for.
