Safety Rules

“Did he tell you where you’re going?”

Amelia stuck her head out of her closet to find Kelsey running her fingers along her bookshelves, perusing through the titles. She noticed her reach for the worn leather binding.

“Don’t touch that one.”

Kelsey jumped at the sound of her voice, jerking her hand back as if she’d been bitten.

“It was my mom’s; it’s extremely fragile. You can touch anything else, just not that one,” Amelia smiled before ducking back inside the closet. “And no, he didn’t tell me where we’re going. He just said, ‘dress casual.’”

“What does that even mean? Casual could imply a million things,” Kelsey complained, her voice exceptionally high.

Amelia chuckled. The girl wasn’t wrong.

Kelsey had already curled her hair into long, loose beach waves that gave her hair some great body. She hadn’t gotten dressed up in weeks and felt like a new woman.

Kelsey clapped her hands excitedly as Amelia exited the bathroom, complete and ready to go.

“Damn, girl, you clean up well,” Kelsey smiled, pointing at her up and down.

Kelsey wasn’t wrong. After training, she looked like she had taken a mud bath, caked in dirt, with leaves and twigs sticking to her body. Training was intense, but extremely productive as each of the warriors took the new training seriously.

“Thanks,” Amelia said, bouncing back on her heels. “You think he’ll like it?”

“I don’t think he’ll be able to keep his hands off you.”

Rey licked her lips in anticipation. Amelia bit down to keep from smiling; her face already beet red. That was the plan. Being edged earlier had made the heat between her legs nearly unbearable. She tried to lessen the sting in the shower but was incapable. Her body demanded him and only him.

“Hopefully it’s not too casual,” Amelia said. She took notice of Kelsey’s blank stare. “What is it?”

“Alpha is waiting for you downstairs!” Kelsey squealed, nearly jumping up and down.

Amelia pursed her lips, tugging on the bottom of her top, fidgeting with the fabric of her tight-fitting corset. She suddenly felt extremely nervous. Every part of her wanted this date to go well. It wasn’t just about the sex. A part of her wanted more of him than just his body. She wanted to understand the man.

Kelsey took notice of her friend’s composure, instantly forcing herself to settle down. “Are you okay? You seem nervous.”

“What if we have nothing in common?”

“The Moon Goddess would not have given you Gabriel as a fated mate if you two had nothing in common. There’s a reason you two are bonded together, trust in that,” Kelsey smiled, playing with the ends of one of Amelia’s curls that lay over the black fabric.

“Thanks, Kels.”

“Anytime, now get out of here.”

Amelia took in a deep breath before leaving the safety of her bedroom. She rushed down the first few flights of stairs, but forced herself to slow down the last treads, taking each step with as much control and concentration she could muster.

Finally reaching the main floor, she spotted Gabriel waiting near the front door with his back to her.
