●WARREN POV●
To say I was shocked would be the understatement of the century. What we witnessed was the end of humanity as we knew it . I saw my brother nude as the day he was born and it wasn't the sight I ever thought I would see . It was definitely not a sight I ever wanted to see . So yes, I did go blind for a second as everything faded to white. I could hear Aria go into business mode as they compromised on some sort of agreement.
Once she led me out of that room and into hers, I felt a lot better. She went straight into her shower, to which I contemplated on whether or not I should watch her . I passed on being that creeper . When she walked out in just her towel I instantly felt aroused . Her dripping wet , with small strands of hair escaping the towel on her head, she looked like a goddess stepping out of heaven.
Before she could get to her closet I pulled her to me and she landed on my lap , "you know, we will never make it to dinner at this rate. What's gotten into you?" She asked as she giggled off my lap.
"I don't know love, just trying to make up for all those years apart," I tell her as I watch her disappear into her walk-in.
"We have all the time in the world for that . Right now I'm starving," she spoke loudly . She walked back out wearing a simple yet elegant floral chiffon dress that had a low v-neck. She sat in front of her vanity and applied a light layer of makeup . She didn't need much , she didn't need .
She looked at me through the mirror and smiled . I knew I loved her but that look and that smile just made me explode with total bliss , "Okay, I'm ready."

We got in my car and I look over at her . Aria, sitting in the passenger's side felt right . And to be honest I don't think I'd ever want anyone else beside me . She is everything and I will do all I can to make sure that I protect her .
"How'd you get a reservation?" She asked me .
"I pulled some strings . I wanted to relive the first night we had dinner but actually do it properly. This is , afterall, our favorite restaurant," I said as I pulled up to the valet.

It was only fitting that we come back here . To the start of when I knew that if I ever got the chance, I would make her mine . Instead of a surprise dinner companion, I'm taking my lady out on a date . We sat down and I just drank in her beauty . We ordered our food, got a lot of good laughs in and when the check was brought over , I told Aria that our night was just beginning.
When we left I wanted to give her a night tour . Not that she hasn't seen the city enough, but I wanted to drive us somewhere outside the lights . She had rolled down her windows to take in the fresh air . Her hair was down and flowing with the wind and she looked absolutely happy . That made my heart swell as I glanced over at her every so often.
"Where are we going?" She asked.
"My favorite spot when I just want to unwind," I said as we drove up the hillside and parked all the way at the top. "This is private property that I owned. At first my father wanted to build something here but I made my one request and asked to have this handed over to me. I couldn't stand the thought that this spot would be gone when I needed to get away."
She got out of the car and walked over to the edge and looked below to the glittering lights , "it is absolutely breathtaking . Below us is our city , a city that is always on the move. But right here, it seems so tiny . And then you look up and see the crystal clear sparkle of the stars and realize how small we are compared to that."
Aria took my breath away, "that's what I've always said and I've always felt about this place ."
"Does anyone else know about this? Or has come with you?" She asks.
I wrapped my arms around her ,her back to me while we both stared off to the horizon, "you're the only one," I admit .
"I feel honored," she said as she grabbed my arms to hold her tighter.
"There are so many other places I want to show you and experience with you, tonight is just the first of many," I say as I nuzzle my nose in the crook of her neck.

"I can't wait," she said as she turned around in my arms.
Tonight we did something I never thought we'd do but I had hoped one day I could with the right woman . We laid a blanket down on the ground and we looked up at the stars telling each other our deepest desires . The moment was intimate and meant everything to me. After we left , we went back to my place and made love to each other until the early morning.

●ARIA POV●
My phone was going off nonstop the next day . Warren and I had the most amazing first date and I was exhausted from the activities of the night before. I didn't want to get my phone but I know that ringtone and I knew that I had to take the call . I moved as carefully as possible so as not to wake Warren up .
I was able to finally make my way to my purse after several minutes of not trying to wake him , I pulled my phone out and saw several phone calls from work. It's Sunday, no one should be in the office . So I hit the phone number and called back.
"Aria!" I heard a voice sounding relieved on the other end.
"Hi, what's going on ? On a Sunday?" I ask puzzled.
"So here's the thing , our office has been bombarded with phone calls ," I can hear exasperation in his voice.
"What happened?" I demand.
"Have you not looked at your texts? You're ALL OVER the internet," he says and I tell him to hold as I pull up the usual sites we monitor.
Sure enough my face and Warren are splattered all over the front page . I could feel a headache going on as frustration begins to build. What the hell was I thinking? I wasn't. I forgot that Warren and I come from recognizable names. He was the ungettable bachelor and I was the powerhouse behind the biggest PR company in the world. Not only that , the name Lawson has a huge reputation and really goes hand in hand .
Some of the headlines read :
Unstoppable Power Couple
Wells and Lawson Union
The Perfect Match
Together because of a Trip.
That last headline made me stop in my tracks . I opened that article and read it . The only thing I can think of was we were in trouble and needed to do damage control ASAP. I got back on the phone , "this isn't good. I'll be there within an hour . I will let Warren Wells know." He needs to know and I'll bring him in.
"Is it true? You're with Warren and not Alex?" He asks.
"Yes and that's a whole other issue that I hope doesn't get out," I huffed .
We hang up and I march myself back into his bedroom. He looks so relaxed and I really hate that I'm going to drop some bad news but I have no choice . We weren't careful and we weren't thinking. I nudged him carefully and he stirred a little . I nudged him again and heard some murmuring.
Finally , "Let's go another round," and he instinctively rolled onto his back pulling me to him . I giggled, he's still a man afterall . "Wakeup love," I say soothingly to him, "I need you to get up baby."
He began to blink his sleep away and once his eyes were open and he saw me his smile grew , "I could get used to this every morning."
I smiled back , feeling the same sentiments. Before I could get lost in this moment I had to get myself together. "War, love, we have to go to my office soon."
"Good joke," he laughed.
"I'm serious," and I pull my phone out and show him the same headlines I saw . When realization began to dawn on him he sat up quickly.
"Okay, let's shower and then go," he said as he went to his dresser to grab some underwear and casual clothing.
"Shower together?" He thinks he's so slick.
"Well, you know," he stumbles over his words, "save time."
I smile and nod , he's right , I suppose . Although I think we'd save more time if we took separate showers.

The Alpha would remain isolated, uneducated, alone. If they were lucky, he would go rogue and they would be able to give the order to kill him; no one knew him as pack. What they did not account for, what they could not have possibly fathomed, was for this Alpha to have a mate. A spitfire omega, independent with a silver tongue, escaping from his abusive pack. He would not let them beat and violate him until his God given will broke. Only by chance, some may even say fate, brought them together.Disclaimer: All persons, places, and things are of my own creation and any affiliation to actual persons, places or things is merely coincidental.
