Page 40 of Alpha's Fated Flame

I remembered the way she loved my present above all the rest.

It more than made up for the bunny shit on my favorite shirt. The fucker wouldn't stay in the basket, but she seemed to love the creepy creature. To me, bunnies were for eating, not living with.

I kept those thoughts to myself as I watched her spill ketchup on her cleavage.

Fast as a snake, I swiped it off with my finger and popped it into my mouth, looking her in the eye. She blushed furiously and looked away, focusing back on her grilled sandwich and whatever lie Killian was boasting about.

I let it go. For now.

But very soon, I was going to rut into her and mate with her and she would have eyes only for me at that moment.

We stayed at the little alcove for quite some time, eating dessert and just lounging about. I checked my phone frequently, ensuring everything was still on track for the remainder of the date. Once sunset hit, it was time to wrap up and head out.

"Where are we going now?" Adrianna asked, a twinkle in her eye.

"I arranged a surprise for you on the hill," I replied mysteriously. "But we're going to have to head out now if we're going to make it on time."

"We'll let you two go on ahead while we finish up cleaning here," Kayden offered graciously. The others groaned at being assigned tasks and not spending time with Adrianna.

I glared at the greedy fuckers. It was finally my turn and the least they could do was not complain.

I ignored them and focused my attentions on the beautiful, glowing Adrianna. After eating and resting, she was more than ready for another outing. And she beamed at me.

I felt a little nervous, unsure how to handle all the open love and happiness she exuded constantly.

It was not possible for a person to be so happy and light all the time, yet Adrianna was a living and breathing example. Even when she was healing from her horrific attack, she only had positive words and feelings to share.

It was very jarring, coming from my world of ice and darkness.

We left the library together and went to the little cart. The sun was setting, and we made the short drive to the hill right as the sun let out its last rays. I grabbed the basket I had left in the back of the cart and we made our way up the hill.

I spread out a thick blanket from the basket on the top of the hill, and Adrianna wandered around smelling the flowers. I finished setting up, placing candles on the borders of the blanket and tracking the way the omega's hips swayed with every step. I checked my phone; it was time.

"Come here, little omega, it's about to start," I said gruffly, nervousness coating the back of my throat.

She blushed, removing her flats and stepped barefoot onto the blanket. My cock twitched at the sight of her elegantly arched feet with her painted, sparkly red nails.

Every inch of her was so fucking perfect, I did not deserve to be in her presence. Someone as scarred as me, on the inside and out, should be kept far away from an angel like her.

And yet somehow, a monster like me could hold her and touch her. I was so damn fucking lucky. I would not mess this up. I reached out a hand towards her and she grasped it eagerly. I sat her in my lap, facing her away from me. Her back was to my chest, and she looked on ahead in confusion.

"Wait for it," I whispered in her ear.

Suddenly, the night sky lit up with a bang and colorful fireworks illuminated the darkness. Adrianna squealed in surprise and clapped her hands in happiness.

"This is amazing," she shouted back to me.

The fireworks spelled out her name in giant gold letters: A D R I A N N A

She looked back at me with wide eyes. "How?"

"The fireworks are for you, little omega," I replied, relieved at her excitement. I wanted to end the date memorably, and I was nervous she was going to hate it.

She clasped her hands to her heart and oohed at the colorful displays of hearts and roses. I grunted in satisfaction. The firework guys were worth the money we paid them, I had to admit.

But we weren't here for just the fireworks.

I slowly reached around and pulled her clasped hands apart. I needed access to her large tits. I pulled down the top of her dress down her shoulders and let it fall down to her waist.
