He kissed my hand, and I felt a wave roll over me. But before I could say anything, the waiter came. We both ordered the seafood boil and some water to drink. We got into talking, and I laughed. I couldn't remember the last time I laughed as hard as I did with Maddox.
We talked about our hopes and dreams. We went over our fears and things we wished we could change. Maddox told me what it was like growing up being raised to be an Alpha and how hard he worked to get where he was. By the end of the meal, I thought I knew Maddox.
"Are you ready to head home now?" Maddox asked as we stepped outside the restaurant.
I shook my head. I wasn't ready to go back just yet. We were having such a good time, and I didn't want it to end.
"Why don't we do something fun?" I asked, giving him a smile. "Something wild."
He raised an eyebrow at me. "Something wild?"
I nodded. "Yeah. We've both been so stuffed up inside, we just need…I don't know. We need to get our blood pumping."
A smile spread across his face as he turned towards a bike path. "Okay, I have something."
Maddox held my hand as we walked. The view was stunning as always, and the path spiraled into the woods. There were sounds of birds chirping and bugs buzzing. It was peaceful.
"I don't think a walk is what I meant when I said that."
Maddox laughed. "Just hold on. We have to walk to where I want to take you."
We paused as we got to a large mountain opening. I could see it wasn't going to be an answer climb by any means. It would certainly get your blood going.
I looked down at my dress, suddenly regretting it.
I glanced at Maddox, but he was undoing his clothes. "What are you doing?"
He smirked at me. "You didn't think I was going to make you climb that in that." He pointed towards my dress. "I'm not ruining that."
I chewed on my cheek, deciding not to stare at him while he undressed. But I found myself peeking at him. Maddox was built like I remembered. He had strong hands and a muscular build.
My mind went back to us sleeping together, and a shiver ran down my entire body. I quickly shook my head, trying to clear the thought away.
When I looked back at Maddox, he'd shifted. A large brown wolf stood next to me now. He had lighter brown fur than the other wolves, but when I looked at his eyes, I could see Maddox's eyes.
He bent over, not forcing me to jump onto him. I crawled onto his back, tightening my thighs around him and grabbing hold of his hair. Maddox growled low, and it vibrated underneath me.
My legs tightened more before he took off. I leaned down, holding onto him with a death grip.
Maddox climbed the mountain with ease, like the extra weight of me on him didn't matter. We were moving fast, and the wind bit at my face. But I laughed. Each movement, each step, was pure joy. The view was stunning, but as we climbed higher, more of the town came into view.
As we peaked the top, I stepped back from Maddox, taking in the view. It was absolutely breathtaking. The sun was going down, and the town's lights were all coming on. It was like it was straight out of a movie.
"Wow," I said, stunned.
"I thought you might like it," Maddox spoke behind me. I turned slightly, taking him in. He was entirely naked, a soft smile on his face. I felt hot all over, hot and bothered.
I turned to him, placing my hands on his chest. "Thank you for showing me this."
His arms wrapped around me as he kissed me. The kiss was soft, a slow burn, but it changed. Both of us were suddenly wanting more. I ran my hands down his chest, and his hands reached for my ass. He hoisted me up, pressing me against him.
I found myself grinding on him, his cock hard against me. He growled against me, and it curled my toes.
"Fuck, the things you do to me."
I smiled as he turned us, laying me onto the ground. He grabbed at my dress, pulling it up. He yanked at my underwear, ripping them off.
My breath was hitched as I watched him. I felt so much love for this man. So many emotions that I couldn't put my finger on them. He had changed so much for me in such a short time.
