He had my fries in a to-go box soon enough, and was walking me out the door a moment later.

“That smells incredible,”Love said, peering down at the steaks I was cooking from where she sat on the kitchen counter.
The drive had been easy, with music playing from my phone and her head bobbing to the beat. We’d chatted more about our lives, though the questions were still surface-level.
She didn’t seem concerned about going home alone with me, thankfully.
Some humans didn’t respond well to pushing. Maybe I hadn’t been pushing her as hard as I thought.
Pun not intended, though my cock had been straining against my jeans since the moment I caught her scent.
The fries hadn’t appeased her growling stomach, so my wolf insisted I feed her before I try to take things any further.
Our mate wouldn’t go hungry on our watch.
And just having her there, in my space, calmed both of us in ways I had never imagined were possible.
“You need to seal the bond with her tonight, so she doesn’t have time to change her mind,”my wolf warned me.
“Change her mind? She hasn’t agreed to anything yet. I haven’t even told her what we are to each other. We’re not close to a sealed bond.”
He growled.“At least tell her, then.”
“When the time is right, I will. Let me handle this.”
Though the bastard was reluctant, he agreed.
“I’ve cooked a time or two in my life,” I told her, grabbing the bag of steamed vegetables from the microwave. Though I usually didn’t bother with them, my mate was human. She needed the nutrients.
To go with the vegetables, instant potatoes and gravy were cooling in a saucepan. They weren’t the lavish meal she deserved, but they were better than nothing,
“Clearly.” She dipped her finger in the hot gravy, and I swatted it away.
“You’re going to burn yourself.”
She ignored me and popped her finger in her mouth, nodding her approval at the taste. “I’m tougher than I look.”
I nearly snorted at the idea.
She was a tiny human with short, bouncy hair, wearing a little dress, and carrying around a purse almost as big as she was. I’d spent an hour-and-a-half with her, and I was confident she was far morein-dangerthan she wasdangerous.
But she was damn adorable.
And I’d been waiting to meet her for way too fucking long to be anything but enraptured by her.
My pack’s group chat was already buzzing with messages, thanks to Jerri, the bartender. She’d taken a picture of us and sent it out to everyone. If I wasn’t so caught up in my mate, I would’ve been irritated about it.
But she was sitting there, on my countertop, letting me cook for her.
Talking to me.
Joking with me.
Teasing me.
