Chapter Eight

Daxon’s knee bounced under the table as he watched the door. He couldn’t stop fidgeting.

This was stupid. He should wait for her outside, make sure she got in safely.

Lunging to his feet, he pushed through the packed tables, making his way to the door, but stopped when it opened and Ryanne stepped through.

His breath caught in his chest and he was sure his heart sped up. Her hair was down. Curls framed her toffee-colored face, a shine made her full lips look even fuller, and she had done something to her eyes to make them stand out more.

His mate was stunning.

Stopping in his tracks, he realized he had thought of her as his mate for some time now. But they’d never truly discussed it. She would have to be the one to decide when it was time.

But he sure did love her. There wasn’t a doubt in his mind she was the woman for him.

“You’re so beautiful,” he said when she drew near.

That flush, that pretty pink he’d grown to adore, darkened her cheeks as she ducked her eyes and smiled. “Thank you.”

“You hungry?”

“I could eat,” she said with a shrug.

Daxon settled his hand at the small of her back and guided her through the somewhat full bar toward the table he’d claimed when he had arrived.

They had eaten dinner together a few hours ago, but Shifting and running in their animal form tended to burn a lot of calories. He knew she had to be as hungry as he was.

“Thanks for thinking of this,” she said as she settled into her seat and set her purse on the empty chair.

“I should’ve asked first,” he said. What had he been thinking? It was obvious Ryanne was super protective of her little sister. And then he’d gone and sent two strangers, two teenagers over to her house to stay with Penny.

“It’s fine. I get what you were trying. I guess I’m just not used to romance. Or surprises.” The smile she gave him was apologetic and a little sad.

How could a woman as gorgeous as she was not be used to romance?

Penny. Ryanne had spent the last three years devoting her energy and time to her sister, to keeping her safe and healthy. She hadn’t had time to date.

Hollyn crossed the room, her smile wide, and held a pad and pen in her hand. “What can I get you guys?” she asked.

“I’ll have a cheeseburger. Medium rare. And some sweet potato fries if you have them.”

“Sure. And to drink?”

Ryanne chewed the inside of her cheek, then turned her eyes to Daxon. “Would it be really bad if I ordered a beer?”

“Not at all.” She was worried about drinking and driving. One beer wouldn’t hinder her abilities. She was too damn cute.

When had he become so squishy? Had the woman sitting across from her and the tiny girl sleeping back at her house changed who he was?

Nah. It had always been there. Only now, he finally had someone of his own to dote on.
