My Werewolf Neighbours

Chapter 31

"Hey, Mate." Zane grinned at me as he leaned against his car with his arms across his chest. The tight black t-shirt doing very little to hide his muscular build. His blue jeans hugged his firm legs so much so that every muscle and bump were visible. I couldn't help the feeling of pride and joy that overwhelmed me when I remembered that he was mine.

An involuntary smile laced my lips as I all but bounced the short way to him. The second I was close enough to him, he didn't hesitate to pull me in against his chest. His strong arms wrapped themselves around me and cocooned me against him. His heart played a sweet rhythm against my ear that had me melting against him as I wrapped my arms around his waist and looked up at him. "Hello." I greeted before his lips caressed mine in a swift but sweet peck. A groan left his throat as he broke his lips from mine.

"I'll never get tired of these," He muttered against my lips before stealing one last kiss as he prepared to straighten up. He effortlessly lifted me up with one arm, making a giggle leave my lips as I let him carry me like a child while he used his other hand to open the passenger door behind him. "It's time for us to get going," He grinned the most boyish smile I had ever seen as he helped me in. A look of utter joy marred his gorgeous features as he helped me in.

Once I was sitting down, he closed my door with a smile before jogging to his side of the car and jumping in.

His eyes instantly shot over to me before he leaned over until his warmth caressed my dress clad chest. I had settled for a simple bodycon spaghetti strapped black dress that went down to my knees. A 2-inch slit came up on one side of the dress and gave a glimpse of my bare skin. However, I also had a pair of tight, silky tights under the dress that I folded to my mid-thigh instead of keeping them at knee length so they didn't peek from my dress. I, however, opted not to bring a bag, so I had to settle with carrying my cellphone in my hand, which I admit can be a little tedious.

A silent 'click' snapped me back to reality and back to Zane as he buckled my seat belt for me like the sweet guy he was. "There we go." He grinned as he stole one more kiss from my poor lips before sitting down on his seat.

"My poor lips." I pouted as I raised my hand to caress my almost dry darlings.

"I won't say I'm sorry." He smirked as he started the engine with a loud 'roar'.

"I know," I playfully stuck my tongue out at him. "But you stole all my lip therapy from my lips now they are suffering."

A chuckle left his lips as he grabbed a pair of dark sunglasses from his side and popped them over his eyes.

"Still not gonna say sorry, but..." He drawled as he pulled the car onto the road. "I have one that you dropped in the glove box."

"Really?" I smiled as I opened the glove box, and yes, there was one of my lip therapies that I had not even noticed was missing. I excitedly pulled it out and squirted some over my lips until they were shiny and moist.

"Here," He said as he raised a pair of dark sunglasses in my direction, "I don't want your eyesight going bad on my watch."

If only he knew how much I loved sunglasses!

"Thank you!" I all but squealed as I took the pair and slipped them over my eyes. The world instantly became darker as I rested my head further into my seat and enjoyed the silent but comfortable ride.

A hand gently engulfed my knee and laid there out of the blue, but I didn't mind. Instead, I saw it as an opportunity to place my own hand over his and started playing with his thicker and stronger fingers.

"Thanks for coming with me, Baby." He said as he turned and lazily smiled at me before facing the road again.

"It's my pleasure." I replied as I intertwined our fingers that were on my knee. He gently squeezed my hand in return before turning into one of the parking lots.
