Beth’s feet were killing her. That didn’t happen very often, and she wondered just when they’d get a chance to sit down and eat. She was starving, having eaten nothing since dinner the previous night. Ill-advised though it may have been, she’d declined the Alpha’s offer of breakfast.

So far they’d chosen a bed – “the single most important item of furniture for a new Den House,” he’d told her smugly – and a set of dining room furniture, along with some couches and appliances, all of which would be delivered when her own Den House was completed. They were now hunting for the “little things women like” as Bradley called them. Things like bedding and rugs, pots and pans, curtains and throws and mirrors. She honestly couldn’t care less if they had a bare mattress and cardboard in the windows so long as she could rest soon.

The Alpha, she had discovered, experienced a certain ecstasy when spending human money. He’d spent more money than she’d ever seen before, and the day was only half over.

“Lunch time?” he asked. “If you’re feeling up to it, that is. That wine can certainly be a bitch the morning after the night before.”

A sudden laugh bubbled out of Beth’s lips, causing several people in the textile store to glance their way. “Sounds wonderful,” she admitted. “And yes, that wine certainly was a bitch this morning.”

“Suppose I should hold off on that re-stock order?”

“Gratefully,” she laughed. “Burgers?” she pointed to a stand across the street where a vendor was selling burgers to passers-by. The aroma had chased her right into the store, making her mouth water and her nose practically swivel on her head to catch the last lingering wafts of beef.

“Can’t beat a good burger,” the Alpha surprised her by announcing, his big, bass tones reaching every customer in the store. “And I happen to know the perfect spot to eat them.”

Happily following in his wake, Beth stepped across the street where Bradley ordered four burgers “with everything”, and paid for them with one of the notes he pulled from a roll of cash in his pocket.

“Follow me,” he ordered, crossing the street again, burgers in hand. Beth trotted behind him towards the back of the store they’d been in, gasping in surprise when they emerged from the dingy alley into a wide open area of grass and trees. “The town lake,” he told her, smiling.

Companionably, they sat munching on burgers, watching ducks diving and begging for food. Beth tossed them a piece of the bun and laughed as two large drakes fought for it, racing each other in the water. The victor swallowed his hard-won prize without as much as a quack.

Thinking perhaps she’d been wrong about Bradley from the get-go, she considered the time they’d spent together today since their conversation in the car. He hadn’t been boorish or offensive, and she had expected that and more from the Alpha of the Tall Grass pack. First impressions, she realized, really didn’t count.
