smokin’-hot, absolutely-heart stoppingly-breathtakingly-beyond-gorgeous hot. Mr. Dream Wolf. With his shaggy dark hair and to-die-for olive-toned body, he could stop traffic in Houston. He made my wolfie-side want to sit up, pant, and lick his face.
“Hurry up, Allison. It’s freezing. God, were you raised in a barn?” Kendall said from her seat next to my mystery wolf.
It was him. The wolf. Who was now human, obviously.
Does he know who I am? Of course he does. He saw me from the window. Shit, shit, shit.
Kendall’s death-to-the-new-girl glare shook me out of my momentary state of shock, and thankfully my legs began to move again. Trying not to knock anyone in the head with my bag, I made my way over to my seat.
Aiden, who had already made himself comfortable, tapped the drool-worthy guy on his shoulder and said, “Hey man, we haven’t met yet. I’m Aiden.”
“Hey, I’m Cade,” he said with a wave, and then he turned his attention to me.
“And you must be Allison?” Cade said as he held out his hand.
The second our hands met my insides turned to mush. It was as if electric currents were flowing through our finger tips, like static electricity.
“Yeah, I’m Alli,” I said as I reluctantly pulled my hand away from his, which left me suddenly feeling empty.
As the car left our driveway, everyone began taking turns giving Aiden and I the run-down on our new school: what to do, where to go, who to talk to, and who not to. It didn’t matter that we were all crammed in the car together with only inches separating each of us. It was impossible to hear, to pay attention to anyone, but him , and I hoped that no one was asking me questions that I wasn’t hearing.
Needless to say, my concentration was shot. I couldn’t focus on anything except the familiar scent radiating off the body next to mine. Each time Cade moved, even the slightest shift, his spicy scent consumed me. I have dreamed of that smell for two nights in a row and having him near me now was teetering on being too much to handle.
How could I possibly feel this way? We only just met. I didn’t even know his name up until a few minutes ago, but something inside me was telling me that none of that mattered.
The need to touch him, just to have some kind of contact with him, was almost painful. I wanted to cry, wanted to laugh, wanted his arms wrapped around me. I wanted him to nuzzle up against me again.
What the hell was wrong with me? Surely, he was feeling this too, right? Oh God! What if he wasn’t?
I kept my eyes focused on the winding road ahead of us fearing that if I looked his way, he might sense what I was feeling, what I was thinking. No, I couldn’t let that happen. I forced myself to keep at least an inch or so between our arms so that they wouldn’t touch.
That is until Aiden opened his big mouth to ask how much further the school was. Cade turned his body toward me to answer him, and not only did his arm brush against mine, but I felt his warm breath brush across my face as he answered. He smelled of honeysuckle and brown sugar, and I had to fight the urge to grab his neck and pull his lips to mine. Lost in his scent and the closeness of his body, I wanted so badly to reach out to him just to feel that spark once more. The need was so strong I almost couldn’t stop myself.
Just as I thought all control was lost, we pulled into the parking lot, and finally I was able to breathe again. I opened the car door, all but stumbled out, and sucked in the fresh air, hoping to ease the pain in my chest.
Cade followed me out, and as Kendall followed him she threw herself into his arms and whispered something in his ear. Kendall took Cade’s hand and started toward the front entrance, leaving me walking behind the group.
Just as we reached the school’s entrance, Cade looked over his shoulder at me. We just looked at each other. There was no smile, no frown, no expression at all. There were so many emotions running through me
