"You....what.....what are you doing here?" Emily asked as she stared at the man who was looking back at her with shining blue eyes.

Kaiden had stopped the car next to a small park but there were barely a few people who could be seen walking around. Otherwise, the area was pretty deserted.

She could feel her heart starting to once act abnormally as it realized that the person sitting in front of her eyes was someone very special.

She took in a deep breath to calm herself down. After all, she could not lose her cool every time he was around her.

"I wanna take you out for dinner.....on a date," Kaiden replied softly as he kept gazing at his beautiful mate.

"All of a sudden? Why did you not tell me in advance? I'm definitely not presentable for a date." Emily murmured the last part as she succumbed in her seat and glared at the lifeless hoodie that she was wearing.

She passed a side glare towards the handsome devil sitting beside her before once again turning her eyes on her lap. It was as if she was blaming him for purposely teasing her.

Kaiden was silent for the next few moments as he just enjoyed watching her. A small twitch was clearly visible on his lips as started speaking, "Actually, you are right! I mean look at you....."

He pulled her face up to make her look at him before he continued, "Your eyes are puffy, a clear indication that you have cried your heart out today. Your face is completely dry. Your hair is all over the place and....your hoodie and shorts....well....they are not as bad looking when compared to the rest of...Wait! Why are you glaring at me? I'm just telling you the truth....."

Emily did not wait any longer to let him complete as she hurriedly climbed out of the car and closed the door behind her with a bang!

"You are mad." 

It was not a question and the teasing smile on his lips only made Emily glared at him as she tried to walk past him, only to find herself trapped between his well-built body and the car. His hands came to rest against the side of the car, almost caging her in his arms.

"What are you doing?" She asked as she looked up at the handsome face of the young prince in front of her.

"I'm trying to understand exactly why my angel is angry at me. After all, I just followed your exact words. Did not you just say that you are not dressed properly for our date?" Kaiden looked at her with raised eyebrows which made the girl frown as she stared back at him.

"Even though I said that you did not need to make me feel so bad by voicing out exactly how bad I'm looking. Don't you know how to treat a girl?" Emily questioned as she tried to find a way to walk away.

However, Kaiden already knew what she was planning. Before she could even take any action, strong arms pulled her against him before he wrapped them around her tiny waist.

Emily looked up at his face and her eyes landed on his beautiful cerulean ones that reminded her of deep oceans. His touch was like fire but a sweet alluring fire that was calling her name and telling her to succumb to it.

"Would you have believed me if I had said that you are looking absolutely beautiful? That there's no need for you to change your clothes or style your hair? Would you have believed it if I have told you that no matter how you look, my eyes will always find you the most beautiful in this entire world?" 

His voice was soft but the emotions in then were real. The way he was looking at her made Emily realize that he actually meant what he was saying.

"What really matters is not what I think about your looks. For me, you are always the prettiest one, even when you are wearing a simple hoodie, even when your eyes are swollen because of crying, and even when your hair is scattered all over the place. And I really meant it. I don't call you an angel because of your looks but because of your personality."

He stopped to brush his fingers softly against her cheeks before he continued.

"What I and the rest of the world think about you does not matter and it should never matter. The thing that really matters is what you think about yourself. If you think that you are not presentable for a date in your current look, then you have all the right to dress up as much as you want. And if you think that your current look is perfect then no matter what the rest of the world says, you should go with this look. What really matters here is you and your thoughts, not the thoughts of other people." 

"So....., if you want to change then I will accompany you to get ready for our date and if you are comfortable with your current look then we will head straight to the venue. You are p....mmmfh!"

Everything happened so suddenly that Kaiden barely had a chance to prepare himself. It was like everything stopped at that particular moment when those soft warm lips touched his lips.

His heart stopped, so did his breathing, and the world around him also came to a standstill. His shocked eyes looked at the girl whose eyes were closed as she pressed her lips against his.

And before his body, mind, soul, or heart could process the situation, the beautiful moment of euphoria ended just as soon as it came.

Emily hurriedly stepped away as she tried to digest exactly what she had just done. She did not even realize that she was about to something so insane before she was already doing it.

Maybe it was the sincerity in his words that made her act, or maybe it was the emotions in his beautiful eyes, or maybe it was the call of her soul that was dying for a taste of her mate. She had no idea what actually made her act but she did end up doing something so impulsive.

Her heart was beating so fast that she feared it would pop out soon enough. Her body was filled with tingles and her lips could still feel the softness of his lips.

She did not even realize that she was biting her lower lip as she tried her very best to control her emotions. But no matter how hard she tried, she was just unable to find control over herself. And the intense gaze of the man that was trained on her was also not helping at all.

"Angel...."

Kaiden called her in a soft voice and waited for her to finally look up at him.

Only Emily knew how hard she had to try to look up at him and the moment her eyes found his cerulean ones, the memory of the moment when their lips touched, returned to her.

Kaiden stepped a little closer to her as he asked, "This is your first kiss, right?" 

He sounded like he was really asking for her confirmation even though he already knew the answer pretty well.

For a moment, Emily found herself transfixed in her position and could barely process his question but then she found herself nodding very lightly.

Kaiden took another step towards her before he spoke in a low voice, "Then let me make it a memorable one."

And before she could process what was happening, one of his strong arms was once again wrapped around her waist while the other was supporting the back of her neck.

Her breathing stopped as she saw his face inching closer to hers and just a mere second before his lips touched hers, she found herself closing her eyes.

This one felt so different than the one before. Maybe it was because this time she was the one receiving the kiss, or maybe it was because his lips were softly moving against hers. Maybe it was because she wanted to surrender to him or maybe she could feel her body and soul filling with immense pleasure and a pure feeling of contentment.

Kaiden kept placing soft kisses against her lips at the beginning as he waited for her to relax. His hold on her was as light as feather but also as strong as needed.

He softly pulled her closer, almost making their bodies touch. And at that same moment, he felt her hands moving. One of her hands moved to rest on his left shoulder while the other clutched the front of his suit coat as she let her body relax in his arms.

That was all he needed because the next moment he stopped attacking her with soft kisses and finally gave her the pleasure of a true deep kiss.
