Chapter 166

Michael POV

When Shawna finally emerges dressed and hair and makeup done, for our dinner reservation, I almost decide that we don't need to eat. She looks like a runway model. Her hair is up in a fancy braided twist, with tendrils streaming down to frame her face and gently skim along the exposed collarbone. She stands there in a strapless black gown that hugs her bodice, tiny little sequins shimmering with the light when she moves. The long slit that exposes a peak at her toned thighs makes me hard when she walks in front of me and does a little turn. She's wearing a pair of strappy black heels that I've never seen before, and they make her legs look longer than they already are. She's gorgeous, pure sin stands in front of me, begging me to take her right then and there.

"You look fucking hot," I whisper, my finger running along her collarbone. "I don't want to take you out of this room looking like that. I'm not sure I can stand it." She laughs, a pure and joyful laugh that fills my heart with warmth. "Goddess, I love you," I say to her before kissing her thoroughly on the mouth, letting her feel my erection against her abdomen as I assault her mouth with my tongue.

When we pull apart, Shawna looks slightly dazed but then puts her hands on my chest and smiles. "I'm so glad you like what you see, but we have big plans tonight, my Alpha. I'd love to stay in with you, but not tonight." She steps back and wiggles her ass at me. I groan outwardly and then take a deep breath. I can do this. I can go spend a night out with my beautiful mate and not want to jump her bones every five minutes. We waited such a long time to get to this point in our relationship, a comfortable point where my mate is not afraid to be intimate with me. I can wait a few more hours to strip that sexy dress off her beautiful body.

"Shall we," I practically growl out, my hand coming to rest on her back as I open the door. She smiles up at me and winks, the little vixen. She knew what she was doing to me. "Oh I see," I say with a smile. "This was intentional."

"What do you mean?" she asks, trying to act innocent.

"This little teasing dress of yours," I say as we walk to the elevator. "You've been waiting for a moment like this."

"Maybe," she smirks. "I needed a good reason to wear it for you, if that's what you mean. This is the perfect night." As we slide into the elevator and the door closes, she turns to face me. "Don't worry babe, you can take it off later, and have all of me, however you want."

"However I want?" I say with curiosity. "That sounds interesting." She giggles and the door opens to an older couple. They give me a surprised look, maybe becuase I'm a big guy, not sure. They get on the elevator and try to make themselves squeeze into the corner, to be far from us. I give them a huge smile. "Good evening," the man nods and the lady smiles.

Shawna mind links me, "I think your aura is pushing out, you clearly don't want anyone looking at me babe. Relax." I hadn't even noticed it until she said that, but I take a deep breath and pull back my aura. The couple visibly relax. "I didn't think humans could feel that," she says in my head. "Sometimes," is all I say. When the elevator opens, I motion for the couple to exit first, then I put my arm out for Shawna to take it. She wraps her hand through my elbow and I pull her close to my side and walk to the entrance. A black stretch limo waits for us.

"Are you kidding?" Shawna gushes.

"Not at all babe, this is a special night for you. You deserve the moon," I tell her, kissing her on the nose.

"I already have the moon Michael," she says. "I have you."

The driver comes around and opens the door for us to enter. Shawna climbs in first and I behind her. The look on her face as she looks around the inside of the limosine is worth every penny spent. When she climbs into my lap and kisses me, it takes all I have in me to hold back. "If you keep that up, we won't make it to dinner," I say as my dick twitches against her buttocks.

"Oh," she laughs and climbs off. "Sorry. I'm just so excited. This is amazing." I reach over to the bucket where the champagne is resting in ice and pour her a glass. Alcohol doesn't affect us as easily as humans, it takes a considerable amount more for us to get drunk. Champagne is probably okay if she just has one glass, since she's pregnant. "This should be okay," she says. "One glass won't hurt." She takes a sip and makes a face. "On second thought, not a fan." She hands her glass to me and I down it. Not my favorite either. I put the empty glass to the side and grab us waters from the cooler.

"So who is performing tonight?" she asks. When I give her a questioning look she smacks my arm. "At the Grand Ol' Opry silly."

"Oh that," I chuckle. "I think it's a woman." I reach into my pocket and pull out the tickets. "Uh, Lainey Wilson?" Shawna's face lights up.

"Oh my goddess, are you kidding me! I love her. This is the best." She's bouncing in her seat and I'm thrilled that I could do this for her. Her life hasn't been the best in years past and I'm trying hard to make up for that.

"So you're happy?" I ask.

"More than happy," she replies. Our limo pulls up in front of the restaraunt and we go inside for our dinner. I've booked us a table at a very nice steak house, certain that this is something we will both enjoy. It's a beautiful place and as we are led to our table, I notice some famous people through out the crowd. Shawna is definitely garnering some appreciative looks, but any man who first looks at her and then at me, quickly looks away. I know I'm a menacing tower of muscle and I'm sure my pointed glares scream "look again and I will kill you", I just laugh and smile the entire time. I know this woman is mine and will be forever, I have no worries.

We slide into our booth, my body blocking any view that one would have of my glowing beautiful mate. Her eyes are only on me and I love that I can see how much she loves me, the smile on her face warming my heart. "How are you feeling," I ask as I slide my hand into hers.

"I feel like a celebraty," she says with a smile. "I'm in this amazing restaraunt, with my amazing man, wearing a beautiful dress and about to have one of the greatest experiences of my life. I couldn't be happier." Shawna pauses. "I think the only thing that is going to make me more happy Michael, is when our pup is born and we are truly a family."

"Me too love, me too," I say with a smile. And I mean it, having a family with this woman that I love so much, it will be the best moment of my life. It will be here sooner than we anticipated, yet not soon enough.
