AMARA.
"I didn’t know he likes you," he said, and it made me raise an eyebrow.
Did Jace think he knew every guy who was crushing on me?
"Maybe not me, but my territory. His father has been proposing to Dad for an arranged Claiming and merging of packs once we were mated."
"What?" A scowl formed on his face. "I’m sure Uncle won’t agree."
"Of course, he didn’t. Besides, I want to become my pack’s Alpha. I’m not handing my title to my mate."
He nodded his head before he shot them a hateful glance.
My arm went around his shoulders while the other cupped his face to tilt his head to look back at me. "Don’t let him ruin our time together."
"You need to tell me if he ever approaches you this way again, or anything else he will tell you." The scowl was still on his face.
"I can handle it for sure."
"I’m sure you can, but I still want to know. I just need one fucking wrong move from him and I will kick him out of the academy." He turned his head to look at them, so I just released my hand from his face, but I didn’t remove my arm from around his shoulders.
"Aren’t you showing favoritism now?"
"You might think it that way, but if he can do it to you, an Alpha Female, what more for other females with lower ranks?"
Yeah, right. So much for thinking it was just me he was concerned about.
"Okay… I will let you know. Can we enjoy this night and not let him bother us? I might never get this chance to dine out with you again, so please... smile?"
He turned his head so abruptly that I was not able to move my head back, and the next thing I knew, his lips were closing in on mine.
My eyes widened before I caught sight of Joshua and the females with them looking into our booth.
Well, who was I to complain? I silently thanked them for looking as I closed my eyes.
The heat rose from my stomach to my chest the moment Jace’s lips brushed over mine and all of my beings reacted to him instinctively.
My toes curled as a low whimper left my throat, while my free hand gripped his shirt tightly. I was kissing the Alpha in front of me with all the passion I had for him, not minding at all that we were in a public place.
Jace bit my bottom lip before withdrawing from our kiss. "Was that better than a smile?" He asked, a wicked grin tugging on his mouth.
I nodded my head, and my thumb ran against his lips, wiping away the sheer lipgloss that had transferred there. But Jace surprised me one more time when he took my thumb inside his mouth and began sucking it.
My pussy throbbed, and I swore to the Goddess that if he didn’t stop, I might have an orgasm from all the tingles I felt at the moment. His action and his eyes were hypnotizing me. It made me want more.
He bit my thumb before parting his lips, and I took it as a signal to remove my finger.
"I think we should order..." I mumbled as I smiled, but I was sure it was an awkward one.
"That sounds like a good idea." He smiled sheepishly, making those dimples visible before he turned his body around and waved for the server while I withdrew my arm from his shoulders.
I was trying to control the beating of my heart, but I was not going to deny that I was enjoying this.
"I’ll have a double grilled cheeseburger with bacon and chicken wings with different kinds of dipping sauce. And a big glass of local beer."
"Got it." The male server said before turning his attention to me. "And for the lady?"
"I’ll order the same thing. And some French fries into it."
"Except for the glass of beer. Give her a large glass of apple juice." Jace butted in.
It made my eyes squint, but I didn’t say anything until the server left after he repeated our orders.
It was only then that I protested.
"Not fair. I can drink beer. I won’t get drunk. I have a wolf already."
He pinched my nose with two crooked fingers before he replied. "I’m still the Alpha here. Let me be a responsible one. The last thing I want to hear is people accusing me of allowing a minor to drink beer when the state does not allow 17-year-olds from consuming one."
I rolled my eyes but nodded my head in agreement.
Two months, and I would be able to drink beer legally in his eyes.
