Chapter 602: Making progress (2) (J&C)

James was happy to see that Cornelia's attitude softened. He knew that she could feel the pull of their bond and that she needed only a bit to give in.

"Let me take you out so we can officially start dating." Actually, he previously promised her a day out, just the two of them, but things with Marcy happened, and the Council of Alphas, and the pack run, and even though they were inseparable, they didn't go anywhere like a couple.

"What does dating mean?", Cornelia asked.

James smiled. She didn't refuse.

He wanted to talk about romantic candle-lit dinner and dancing, but what he really wanted to do was just for them to get naked and he decided not to give specifics at this point.

"It means that we get to spend time together, and…" His heart thundered wildly as he inched closer carefully while gauging her reaction. She didn't pull back and he decided to go for it.
