“Honey,” Mom said quietly, rubbing my ankle. “You’ll be okay.”
“It’s not me I’m worried about.”
“You don’t need to worry about anything.” With his glass between his hands, Finn rested his elbows on his knees and leaned forward. “Spencer, the only thing that matters now is your transition. Focus on that, and I’ll take care of the rest.”
“Right. And after I shift, every werewolf would be able to sniff me out.” I said with sarcasm.
“Even then, as long as you don’t use magic in front of others, you’re safe.”
He sounded pretty convincing, but still, all I could think about was the great danger I was putting them in by simply sitting on this couch.
But Finn’s assured tone combined with whiskey seemed to be working on Mom. Her body was more relaxed, and her weariness after the long day was showing now. She emptied her glass and got up.
“I could use some rest.” She kissed me on the forehead and headed to her room.
Finn put his glass down, and the moment we heard her close the door behind her, he moved to my side and pulled me into his arms.
“I need you to trust me,” he murmured, as I dropped my head on his chest. “I’ll always protect you.”
“That’s what scares me. You lived a normal life, and here I am, a freak of nature, who showed up on your doorstep to ruin—”
“My life was never normal. The fact that they let me live doesn’t mean that they’re okay with who I am. I’m an outcast. That’s the reason I could never join a pack and be among my kind even if I wanted to. The sound of my last name alone made them growl every time they heard it, and I growled back, and it took a big effort not to rip their heads off for what they did to my parents.” He put his thumb under my chin, pushed it up, and locked his eyes on mine. “I couldn’t have protected them. I was just a baby then. But I’m a man now, and I’ll rip anyone who would try to hurt you to pieces. Do you hear me?”
I drew my face closer and kissed him.
“Come here.” He took me by my waist and sat me on top of him.
My hands rushed up to his neck, and my fingers dived into his hair.
“Back in the car, I wanted to hold your hand too,” he whispered. “And I could barely keep my eyes away from your gorgeous legs.”
“Are you a mind reader?” I brushed my lips against his.
“I can feel you. Especially when you’re that close.” His hand moved up my thigh and snuck under my dress.
“Ooh, right now, I feel you too,” my smiling lips touched his cheekbone.
“Just say the word,” He smirked. “And I’m all yours.”
I turned my head to face him, and his lips crashed into mine.
I pulled back after a long moment.
“How about a date?” I breathed out.
“In ten seconds.”
“In my bedroom.”
“You go first.”
ChapterFourteen
SPENCER
Tender and warm, like a ray of sunshine, a light touch on my back moved up to my neck. Smiling, I opened my eyes.
The curtains were half-closed, not thanks to me, and by the orange glow in the sky I saw through the gap I could tell it was dawn.
