“Stop that, you don’t pay to eat,” Roland practically growled. It was easy to forget he was an alpha until he got annoyed.
“Alright, alright. Thank you. We’ll definitely be back,” I promised. We said a quick goodbye before heading for the motorcycle.
“Well, I did need food before work.” She grinned. “But you do realize you have a motorcycle, right?”
“Fuck,” I cursed. “Guess we need to call for a rescue.”
Sienna already had her phone out. “Hey, King, can you come help us out?” She gave him the details before hanging up. “He’s on his way.”
Part of me hated the idea of having someone else interrupt our time, but seeing Sienna call on one of us so easily had me biting my tongue. The same way that I wanted her to be drawn to me, I needed her to develop that push and pull with the others in order to help us build a real pack rather than a bunch of separate relationships. She put on her tiara, a happy smile on her face while she did a small dance to a tune only she seemed to know. It hit me then that this was the most relaxed I’d ever seen her. She was completely at ease with herself and me.
“Hey, Nash?” Sienna broke through my wandering thoughts when she placed a hand on my arm. “Thank you.”
“For what?” I asked gruffly, clearing my throat.
“For bringing me here.” She smiled and leaned up on her tiptoes to press a kiss to my cheek. “I had a lot of fun.”
That simple kiss broke my restraint. I’d been surrounded by her scent all morning, every brush of her body against mine fueling the flames of desire until this very moment. I stepped back to place the food on a nearby table before crowding Sienna, cupping her face and tilting it back so she had to look me in the eye.
The nerves I saw there gave me pause, but when she licked her lips, those green eyes dipping down to look at my lips, I knew she wanted me. Moving slowly, I brushed my lips along hers with a barely there kiss, savoring the feel of her and the sound of her whimpers.
But she didn’t kiss me back.
Dropping my hand, I moved away, uncertainty taking over when she stared at me with wide eyes. Did she not want this?Me?Had I crossed the line?
Before either of us could break the sudden tension, a car pulled up. King slowly got out as if he could sense the strain between us.
“Should I wait in the car?” King offered, which I was grateful for.
“Nash—” Sienna started, but I shook my head and turned around to grab the food.
“Here, can you take this back to Yuri’s?” I handed the huge stack of containers over to King. “And give Sienna a ride? I’ll meet you guys there.”
“Uhhh…” King fumbled with the boxes as I walked over to my bike.
“I just need to clear my mind for a bit. I’ll be back,” I told them with a tight smile before climbing on my bike and riding off.
I needed to get her scent out of my mind and catch my breath.Fuck, I hope I didn’t mess this up.

SIENNA
Nash riding off so abruptly made my chest tight. I had fucked up. Not even an entire fucking day into this relationship, and I’d messed it up. Leaving breakfast, I had been so damn confident, and now… Now, I was just a girl who had been too scared to kiss her boyfriend.
Such a damn idiot.
“Micetta?” King’s question was soft. “What happened?”
“Nothing.” I tried to evade the question, but the way my voice cracked betrayed me.
“Come on,” King said after a second of silence. He neatly put the food on the floor in the backseat then snagged my hand, leading me to the front passenger door. Automatically, I got in and buckled up while he settled in next to me.
Instead of starting the car, he turned to me, hazel eyes intent and patient.
“Are we going to go?”
“Once you talk to me,” he replied, tilting his head. “That level of awkwardness isn’t something I thought I’d be walking in on with you two.”
