Chapter Twelve

They decided against the movies since it was Friday night and the place was packed. As tough as Jade was, Booth noticed little things about her. Like how she was nervous being out in public around so many humans. Two males had gawked at her, coming too close, but she was super aware and sidestepped them when they moved out of her line of sight. She kept an eye on her surroundings, proving to him she was trained well.

The shifters were still uneasy around humans, but it was his beast who felt protective of her. He’d almost bared his fangs at the males, but she had it under control.

“Want to go to the bar?” he asked as they sat in the parking lot of the movie theater.

“Actually, I’d like to go back to the pride,” she blushed. “Would you want to have our movie night at the dorm?”

“How about we go to my place?” he suggested, hoping she would agree. He didn’t want to be interrupted by the other males, and if he was being honest, he wanted her all to himself.

“That would be fine, but I have to be honest with you,” she chuckled.

“What’s wrong?” he worried. A million reasons why she wasn’t happy ran through his mind. Booth knew this dating thing would be a bust. He should’ve just cooked her dinner at his place instead.

“I really hate wearing a dress, and while I love the hair, I’d rather wear my usual clothes. I hate the makeup, too,” she admitted.

“Is that why you’ve been fidgeting all night?” he asked, relief making his shoulders drop as the tension fled.

“Yeah,” she scowled. “Calla and Evie dolled me up.”

“I think you look amazing, but I’d rather you be yourself,” he agreed with a shrug. “I actually like the workout clothes better.”

“It’s the sports bra, isn’t it?” she teased.

“You’re not wearing it now?” He frowned, refusing to lower his eyes to her chest.

“I’m not wearing one at all,” she replied, looking down at her breasts. “It was either the dress or a bra, but not both.”

“You’re killing me,” he mumbled and threw the truck into drive. “We will find a movie at my house.”

Her laugh echoed through the truck as they headed south of town to the pride’s land. She turned the radio on a rock station and leaned against the window. They chatted about music, and he was surprised she liked the same style he did.

“The heavier, the better,” she said.

When they reached the pride, Malaki waved them through the gate. First stop was the dorms so she could change clothes. When he reached his cabin, he walked around to open her door, hoping he was treating her right. He was doing what came naturally to him, and the things his father had told him about respecting a female.

Treat her like she is your queen.

His father had always drilled into his head that women were fragile and they had to be protected, but Jade blew all of those old ways out of the water.
