Chapter 0114


    Rik answers for both of us. “You’ve both done an amazing job here. The


    atmosphere, the food, the ambiance, it’s all perfect. | thank you both for making my date with this remarkable woman


    memorable.” | nod my agreement and they ask if we''d like dessert. Rik tells them we have other ns, and we''ll take our check


    when it’s ready.


    “We have other ns?” | ask when they walk away.


    “We do, our date isn’t over and | hope you enjoy our dessert ce just as much as you’ve enjoyed our dinner spot.”


    “Well, I''ve been pleasantly surprised at your ingenuity and unde sure of


    what | like. If it’s anything like what you''ve done for me so far, I’m sure I''ll love it. And of course, thepany is beyond


    compare.”


    “| couldn’t agree more about thepany.” He says, bringing my hand to his lips and kissing my knuckles.


    When we leave, he heads in a different direction, farther away from the pack house. He takes us to a spot that I’ve never been


    before. He opens the door for me and as | look around, he goes to the trunk and pulls out a pic basket.


    “We''re having a dessert pic?” | ask.


    “Something like that.” He says as he takes my hand and we begin walking down a dirt walkway. We don’t have to walk long


    before wee to a ce where the ground gives way. The cliff overlooks the nearest human city. The city lights twinkling in the


    night, but far enough away that you can see every star in the sky. It’s beautiful.


    Rik finds a spot near a tree andys out a nket before pulling a bottle of wine out of the pic basket.


    “Compliments of my mother.” He says raising the bottle of wine.


    “How is Luna Calista?” | ask. It’s been too long since I''ve spent any time with her.


    “She’s good. She’d love it if you’de by the packhouse. And, if I’m being honest, I''d love it too. You''re a part of this pack Cara,


    but you never do anything with the pack.”


    | shrug at that. “I’ve never really had time. | mean, | train with the warriors in the morning, and have been for years. But between


    training, school, homework, I’ve just never had time for things like pack runs or dating.” | look at him and give.


    +15 BONOS


    him a sheepish smile.


    “Hmmm, we''ll have to change that.” He says and hands me a ss of wine.


    He reaches into the basket and pulls out a covered te. The smell hits me before he pulls the cover off.


    “Oh man! Are those the best brownies in the world?” | ask and am rewarded with


    Rik’s smile.


    “| may have put in a request and when mom realized they were for you, she was more than happy toply.”


    | bite into the gooey goodness and moan softly. Seriously, what does she put in these brownies?? Mine never taste this good.


    When | open my eyes, | realize Rik is watching me. Even in the dim light, | can see his eyes have gone dark. He


    looks....predatory. A shiver of excitement runs down my spine. What would it be like to have him hunt me and Artemis? Artemis.


    purrs so loud at the thought that even Rik can hear it.


    “Want to share with the group?” He asks with a devious smile. | shake my head no and finish my brownie.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    He finishes his brownie and leans back against the tree. “We need to talk Cara.“
