Tevin

I should’ve known better.

Any attempts at lying to myself about where I wanted this night to lead were shot to hell after that kiss. Not only did I want Serene, I needed her as if she were the very air I breathed. My wolf was dangerously close to the surface, eager for our mate, but I shoved him down ruthlessly into submission. I needed to prove to myself that I had at least some shred of control.

“Let me,” I said, stepping in front of Serene to get the oven. More than wanting to help, I needed something to distract me. Pulling back from her had been painful beyond measure, and it was taking all of me to act more human than wolf.

I grabbed one of the oven mitts forgotten on her kitchen counter, scrunched it up in my hand instead of putting it on, and grabbed the baking dish from inside the oven. I carried it to the table, much like I carried the smile I hoped would mask my inner battle—and that’s when I realized the lengths Serene had gone to for this evening.

Her kitchen table was small—as was the rest of her house—but she had decorated it lavishly. She’d draped a crimson tablecloth over it, her best silverware was out, free of the blemish of repeated use, neatly folded napkins had been tucked under the wine glasses, and fresh flowers occupied the center. On both sides, tall candles burned lazily, releasing a scent that reminded me of a time when my life wasn’t a pit of bottomless violence.

“Thank you.” I didn’t know what else to say. Dates had never been something I did, especially those involving home-cooked meals, and I was at an absolute loss here. Somehow, Serene had made me feel at home, and that was a feeling that I’d only ever experienced with my pack. “This looks amazing. And the food, it smells great.”

“My mother’s recipe,” she announced proudly. “Meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Simple, I know, but it’s kind of a go-to dish at my parents’.”

“I’m pretty sure the teacher has surpassed the master.” I pulled her chair back so that she could sit, and only then did I take my place. It wasn’t a contrived or conscious gesture—it just felt right. “You didn’t need to go to all this trouble. This is far more than I deserve.”

“Is it?” She threw me a coy smile, and her eyebrows arched slightly. “What exactly does Tevin Novak deserve? You seem to know everything about me, but you...you’re a mystery. You fall into Brightenville out of the sky, ask for my phone number, and sweep me off my feet. Are you just a figment of my imagination or what? Because sometimes I wonder if this is just a dream.”

She smiled, the warmth of it so intense that it floored me.

“I’m as real as I could be.” Before Serene could do it, I cut the meatloaf and grabbed the serving spoon. “Rest assured, though, I didn’t fall out of the sky.
