Chapter 19

Vince dreaded the end of this week. It would be full moon and Penny still had no idea he was wasn’t a real shifter.

“Let’s go out for sushi.”

He gave her a sideways glance. “Sushi? I thought you said fish was all either radioactive or over-farmed and disgusting.”

“Yeah, but I researched a place that swears they only serve free range fish caught in the Atlantic Ocean, which should be healthier for you.”

His purr started before he even realized it. He coughed to cover it, but Penny was already laughing and pulling him along. “Let’s go!”

He draped his arm around her shoulder and walked downstairs with her, tensing when he saw that asshole door guard, Quinn, in the foyer. He gave Vince a snide look after eyeing Penny when she wasn’t looking. Vince pulled her closer and kept her as far away from the creep as possible.

Penny drove and Vince was like a kid in a candy store as soon as they walked into the restaurant. The entire place smelled like fish and he had a hard time sitting still. He wanted to pounce on every piece of meat he saw. If he had a tail, it’d be twitching right now.

Penny thought Vince would struggle with using chopsticks since he’d never apparently used them before, and because he was so shaky all the time, but for some reason he was totally in control of himself tonight. He watched her so carefully as she explained what wasabi and ginger slices were, and how she liked to use them to spice up her food, then sat next to him to help him with his chopsticks. She thought he’d grab the fish as soon as it was set down in front of them, but instead he waited, carefully watching it as if it would get up and walk away.

When she finally took the first bite of her own food, he did exactly what she did and dipped the fish into a little soy sauce, then took a bite.

His eyes went wide and at first she thought he hated it, until his face went slack as if he’d just had amazing sex.

“So… you like it?”

He stared at her as he slowly chewed, then finally swallowed. “God yeah. Can I move in here and eat this every day?”

She chuckled and said, “I’ll ask.”

They ate in silence for a time, Vince slowly savoring every bite he took.

“I thought you’d tear into the fish since you said you love it so much.”

“We never had much, so when something nice came along, we made sure to savor the moment instead of rush through it.”

She studied him as he ate. “You’ve had a hard life.”

He shrugged.

“Full moon’s getting closer. Where do you go to run as your cat?”

He said with a smirk, “Where do you go?”

“I usually tag along with Suzanne, my alpha, up to the ranch. It’s land the family owns. I ride up there with her, then find a spot to shift by myself. Sometimes I end up shifting with my sister, but mostly not.
