109 - Kennedy
“Why wouldn’t you trust your well dressed and very hot gamma?” Bennet smoothes out his jacket. “Anyone who looks this good should be trusted.”
“Uh, no! That is an absolute lie. That is something Danny would say, not you. And, because you were in on whatever this is.” I gesture between him and I.
“Just go with it Luna, not everyone is out to get you. And I want to go on record for being the first person to say how beautiful you look.” He holds his elbow out for me to take.
“Technically, Sarah told me I was perfect first.” He scoffs while I pat his arm as he leads me to the formal banquet room. I haven’t had a need to go in here for a while. What are they up to?
I won’t stall or hesitate though. I know Ryker is in here with Josh, Danny Greta, Alpha Ryan and a few other people who feel familiar, but I am still figuring out this people GPS thing and I can’t quite figure out who it is. I haven’t seen my mate since he put me to bed earlier today and I am anxious now that Sarah has me all dolled up. It’s been a really long time since we were dressed up together. I think it was last Fall at Rayna’s Luna ceremony actually.
“Ready?!” Sarah looks at me expectantly.
“For what?!” I whisper-shout. “I don’t know what we are doing yet. How can I be ready?” My voice is shaky and getting higher pitched with each word, but for good reason. “I am being ambushed by the people I trust the most right now while they look like Christmas came in July.”
“Oh, stop. You’ll love it.” She smiles at me again, adjusting my dress. When she deems me presentable she steps to the side as the double doors open to reveal the full decorated ballroom.
“Oh wow!” I whisper, Bennet guiding me through the door. I probably would still be there staring if he hadn’t. Then his scent hits me and I zero in on Ryker standing with a group of people. He’s the only one I see though, everyone else is a haze.
Just like Rayna’s party here, he is in all black, his tie matching my dress. He has one hand casually in his pocket with the other on his chest, thumb rubbing the spot over his heart. The small sexy smile on his face grows to blinding proportions the longer he looks at me. Copyright ©️ 2024 Miss L Writes and Ember Mantel Productions
I let go of Bennet and walk straight to him. No hesitation, no reservations or worry. No one trying to get in my way. He pulls me close with one hand when I reach him and cups my cheek with the other as I run my arms up his massive biceps..
“I missed you, Lamb. You look absolutely gorgeous.” Those emerald orbs search mine.
