Wilder

Six Months Later

Arwen’s glow radiates around her, an ethereal light that seems to pulse gently in the ambiance of the restaurant.She draws my attention like the siren she is.The air shifts—a tangible enchantment igniting an undeniable stillness, holding the patrons in a collective breath, and under her spell, the bustling murmur of dinner conversation diminishes to a whisper.

Her long silken dress ripples with every graceful move, an extension of her beauty, while her silvery hair cascades down her back like a celestial waterfall, glimmering beneath the twinkling lights overhead.When I lean down to whisper in her ear, the warmth of her aura surrounds me, enveloping me in a sweetness that feels both intoxicating and safe.

“My little Starlight has everyone staring,” I tease, watching the spark of annoyance flicker in her violet eyes.She lets out an aggravated huff, her delicate features twisting into a frown that only makes her more charming.

“They’re staring because a fat whale just waltzed in here and interrupted their dinner,” she argues, folding her arms defiantly against the delicate fabric of her bodice.Anger swirls through me like a tempest, the realization hitting me that she can’t see her otherworldly beauty, the exquisite grace that reshuffles the world around her.Her swollen belly, a blissful testament of our love, intertwines the feelings further, heightening my attraction in ways I have yet to understand.

“Don’t talk about my mate like that,” I warn, lifting my eyebrow, letting her know there will be repercussions if she continues down this path.

Her eyes narrow, but there’s a flicker of something softer beneath the surface.“And what if I do?”she challenges, her voice licking with defiance yet laced with a sweet vulnerability that drives me wild.

I step closer, my hand gently cupping her cheek.“Then I’ll have to remind you just how breathtaking you are,” I murmur, my thumb brushing against her satin-soft skin, feeling the pulse of her warmth align with mine.“Every curve, every inch of you is perfect to me.And if you keep being a brat then Daddy will have to put you in place.”I let the words linger, giving them weight deliciously heavy with promise.

Her cheeks flush, a delightful shade of pink blooming across her face, and for a brief moment, the crowd fades entirely, leaving us in this bubble of confession and playful tension.

“Maybe I like the attention,” she says playfully, sticking her tongue out at me, her posture relaxing even as her defiant spark flares again.

I chuckle at her audacity, it ignites an entirely different kind of flame within me.“Just remember who you belong to, my Starlight.This glow?It belongs to me as much as it does to you.Let them admire, but I’m the one who gets to worship you in the night,” I whisper, pulling her against me, wanting her to feel every inch of my desire.This is a bond only the two of us can share.

Her eyes soften, the tension in her shoulders easing as she leans into my touch.“You always know what to say,” she whispers, a small smile tugging at her lips.

“That’s because I mean every word,” I reply, pressing a tender kiss to her forehead.“Now, let’s enjoy this evening together, and let them stare.They can only dream of having what we have.”

After our romantic dinner, I lead her from the restaurant, past the car and into a forest.She looks up at me with questions swirling through her beautiful eyes.

“I have a surprise for you and no, I won’t tell you what it is.”Her expression shifts to playful irritation, and her pout makes me laugh.I love when she gets feisty, but I stand firm, wanting her to relish this adventure I have carefully orchestrated.

The evening sun dips below the horizon, casting a golden glow that dances through the enchanted forest.The path ahead is lit by the soft luminescence of will-o’-the-wisps, guiding our way to a secluded clearing.

Hand in hand, we walk through the forest until we reach the center of the clearing, where an ancient stone circle stands, bathed in the ethereal light of the rising moon.In the center, a crystal-clear pool shimmers with magic, reflecting the starlit sky above.

She looks around, her eyes wide with wonder.“What is this place?”she asks, her voice filled with awe.
