The Alpha And The Baker

“Later,” I promised, kissing her forehead. “I promise.” “Fine. But only because I really want to see this restaurant too.” “Fair enough.” Hand in hand, we walked to my car. We were going to an upscale restaurant, and I hoped to God it would be a much better experience than our first date. Then again,…

“I love you,” I gasped as his teeth bit in deeper, the heat of his mouth its own soothing balm. And when he released, I felt the happiest rumble from him behind me. “I love you, too, Felicia. With all my soul.” He turned my head toward him and crashed his lips against mine. I…

It was a shame. Nothing could be done about it, but I figured it was okay for me to acknowledge the sentiment at least. “Have I ever told you that you’re stunning?” Cas asked, pulling me against his chest. I went with him easily, pressing my body against the hard planes of his powerful form.…

“We can take a shower if you’re not comfortable,” he murmured, kissing the top of my head as his strong biceps squeezed me just enough to feel supportive. Encouraging. “I never want to do anything you’re uncomfortable with.” I knew that right into the deepest parts of my heart. I knew it just like I…

“Uh, that certainly wasn’t an orthodox way for our competition to go,” the announcer said in a rough voice. “But let’s finish it off strong. Would the judges like to announce their winner?” “Oh, I got this! I got this!” It was the one male judge who replied enthusiastically, bounding away from the paramedics to…

“Uh yeah, actually. Big truck just pulled up with some visitors that asked to talk to the alphas. Your mom said it’s something about needing permission to cross territory?” “Huh, they must be real out-of-towners,” I said, handing my tongs over to Chris. While it was a tradition to request an alpha if one was…

But it wasn’t all just slaving away. When it was time for food, I found Felicia again, and we sat down to quite the spread. We had all the McCallister classics, but there was a truly incredible amount of dishes from the Ramirez pack as well. That was how we ended up with meatloaf next…

And as eager as I was to find out what Felicia’s request was, I was in no hurry to shorten our time slowly moving together to the music. Maybe she wasn’t human at all, and she was actually a muse, because now I wanted to espouse poetry to her. To tell her exactly what she…
