"Oh, I know. But this is me spoiling you ave getting to show you off. I'm not used to being allowed to be seen in public with a goddess. As brilliant as she is beautiful." He took a drink and drank her in. He was trying really hard to remember that she was still just a girl add that he had to wait until she was eighteen. But she looked like a woman and he had already waited over a hundred and fifty years. He'd never known another woman.

"You have a bad habit of flattering don't you? You know you already have me. Why keep up the charade?" She smelled at him and took a drink of her water pretending it was a fine wine. He couldn't possibly think her a goddess. He hadn't been around her when she was pissy. She could turn into a whiney five year old sometimes.

He looked her over, a bit confused. Did she really believe that once a man won her they should stop trying? The idea made him hurt for curse the home she'd grown up in.
"Who said it's a charade? I'm not telling you things to butter you up for something. I'm complimenting the woman who has my heart and soul in her hands. It's nothing but the truth of how I feel. I can stop if it makes you uncomfortable. Well, I can try, anyway." He took her hands in his and rubbed her knuckles with his thumbs.

So he really was just telling her how he felt? For a moment her hard sarcastic shell melted into itself transforming her brain into the princess she'd always wanted to be but thought she could never achieve. A small giggle escaped her. She squeezed his hands not really knowing what to say. The moment however was interrupted by their food arriving. She let go of his hands and leaned back so her plate could be set before her. Since when did food get to the table so damn fast?
She inhaled the scent of succulent duck, her mouth already watering. "You don't have to stop. It's just unexpected. I guess I just have to remember that you were raised in a different era."

He had never wanted to curse food before. He say back and smiled at the waitress, thanking her.
He looked into her eyes, he could easily get lost in them. "It had nothing to do with when I was raised. It's how I was raised. My father taught me that you never let a day go by without letting your mate know what she means to you. Both in word and deed. Tomorrow is never promised, not even for us."
His father had been a great man. He had done just that everyday that he could remember. His parents were never not in love. They fought, just like everyone else, but it never lasted long and he was bringing her flowers and singing to her as the dance around the kitchen. They had been gone for almost sixty years and he still missed them every day.

"All the more reason you should be bonding me to you now rather than later. You need your soul. You need to be in control of yourself. I doubt your people would have a problem with it." She stated all of this matter of factly as if she were having a normal conversation while she was cutting up her duck.
"And if they do have issues with it, I'll cut them." She pointed her knife at him to prove she would do it. She'd been training for awhile now and was pretty confident in her skills.

Cain just sat there fork in hand, dumbfounded. He didn't know what to say.
"I...you....We..." He cleared his throat. "I have my soul. And as long as you're near I have my light as well. Our customs, and our Prince say that I can't bond you until you're eighteen. And when I'm thinking clearly, I agree. There's so much that happens when lifemates are bound together. You become one of us, and you will never look a day older than you are at that moment. You're life will change, you'll feel the hunger we feel. I can't do that to you now." Even though his whole being screamed for it.

"That's the problem Cain. You're not thinking clearly all the time. That leads to mistakes. What if you are in the middle of battle and you end up going off the deep end and I'm not around or I can't get to you? If we are bonded you'll have the control you need." She felt a lump rise up in her throat. Her eyes were starting to go bleary so she just looked down at her plate. She was afraid for him. So afraid that when she thought of the possibility of losing him she wanted to curl up into a ball and cry.
"And for the record," She whispered, "I'm not going to look any different in a year and a half than I do now."

He took her hands again.
"Shh, don't worry my love. I am fine. I really am. I feel better than I have in decades and it's all because of you. We can talk about this, and if it's really what you want, then screw what Mikhail says. I just don't want you to feel like we have to rush anything or that you're obligated. I'm not going anywhere. You have my word."
He wanted to pull her into his lap and just hold her. But that would have to wait until the finish eating.

She willed her tears away before she looked at him. She felt like she was dying without him. Honestly there was nothing to talk about. She wanted him, he wanted her, the fates wanted them together. What more was there?
"If you want to talk about it we can but I know for a fact that there is a younger girl that has already converted so please don't hold my age against me. Use something besides that if you don't want to." Even though she tried to ignore it because it was completely irrational, there was a small part of her that felt like she was being rejected.

He waived the waitress over and quickly asked her in her native tongue. "There's been an emergency, can we get this to go please?"
He turned back to Titi. "I'm not making excuses. I'm so very sorry if it seems as such. I could and would happily take you right now, right here. I wanted to claim you right in Terryn's classroom the first day I saw you. I only want you to be sure. And I don't need your brother trying to kill me. Your father loves me, I made sure of it. I want you, I'm not rejecting you. And I could never tell you no if it's something you really want. I just don't want you to ever, EVER, regret your decision."
He would die if she ever felt trapped or regretted him at all.

She had no idea what he said to the waitress, she just nodded and hurried away. And now it seemed like he was scrambling to make her feel better. Somewhere somehow she had lost control of herself and turned into a petulant child. Now she was embarrassed. The woman came back with to go boxes and the check and she just about whined out loud.
"Oh my god. I've completely ruined the evening. I'm sorry Cain. I don't know what's wrong with me. If you want to just take me home I'll understand." She put her food in the box and grabbed her small jacket and tied it back on. She was so pissed that she'd screwed up so badly.

He stood, and took her in his arms, kissing her temple. "Please, just relax. You didn't ruin anything. We're just changing location. I told her there was an emergency. Now we have food and we can go anywhere you like to eat it. And you can have me in any way you wish. I'm not angry and my night isn't over."
He lifted her chin gently so her eyes met his. There was no anger, disappointment or embarrassment in them. Only love. He gave her a soft kiss. "How does that work for you?"

His words rushed through her and filled her with electric heat. That coupled with the look in his eyes and his lips...she was lost again. But where did she take him? Neither one of them had their own place and she knew exactly how she wanted him, naked and inside her. She was no longer interested in eating.
"That works but I have no idea where to go. I wouldn't mind being outside but I want you all to myself."

"I have an idea. And I have blankets in the trunk. Come on." He took her hand and kissed it. He left a hundred in the table and lead her out to the car and set coarse for the park they'd gone running in.
He had no idea what she had planned for the rest of their evening and he was doing his best not to invade her mind to find out. He held her hand as he drove, letting go only to shift.
