Luna POV

The dress was pale pink lace with a champagne slip beneath, the ruffles and lace grazing across the floor as it lay over the end of the bed. A string of pearls was draped across the neck of it, with a pair of nude heels standing at their full 6 inch height next to it. A note lay on top, my Mate's rather feminine scrawl jumping from the page. "My little Luna, I'd be honored if you'd join me for supper tonight. Be ready by 6:30. Love with all my heart, Alessio."

Brushing the tips of my fingers along the material of the dress, I felt my lips pull up into a small smile as his words echoed through my head. I was slowly but surely falling in love with that man...

Sitting on the edge of the bed beside the dress, I took a closer look at the tag to find that it was a size 6, and the heels size 7. Shaking my head with a giggle, I mutely wondered how in the world he'd correctly guessed my size, just before it hit me; he'd gone through my closet... Silly Mate of mine; didn't he know that I would tell him anything he wanted to know?!?

Speaking of my Mate, where was he?!? I hadn't see him since our little dance that morning... Not too worried, full well knowing his Alpha status, I sighed and plopped onto the bed as my eyes drifted closed. I wonder if he knew how grateful I was...?!?

'My little Luna, how many times have I told you that there is no way for me not to know how grateful you are?!? I'm you're Mate, little one- it is my job to know every thought that goes through that pretty head of yours, and every emotion that builds within you...' Alessio's thickly accented voice was rather soft in my head as he answered my unspoken question; then again, I'd thought it, which meant that he'd probably heard it... 'Of course I heard you, little one- I just said that it is my job, did I not...?!?'

'Good,' I whispered just as softly as a smile lifted my lips, 'then maybe you'll here this... Alessio Ercolani, I love you so much!'

~000~

Steam filled the en suite bathroom as I stepped out of the shower a whole 30 minutes later, freshly clean and shaven. Wrapping the fluffy towel around my body, I walked into the bedroom- mine and Alessio's bedroom- with a sigh as my eyes snapped over to the dress. How sweet could my Mate possibly be?!? If he spoiled me any more, I'd begin to stink...

'Oh, little one, you already do stink!' His husky chuckle sent a shiver down my spine, even as he merely spoke in my head, as I rolled my eyes with a playful growl. 'And I wouldn't have you any other way... Besides, I am your Mate- as I'm sure you well know- and it is my job to take care of you- how ever, and when ever, I please... And that includes spoiling you rotten!'

'Mhm, I see what you mean...' My tone was playfully sarcastic as I once again looked between the dress, heels, and myself. Would my sweet Mate always spoil me so?!?

'Yes, little one, I will.' His voice held a note of finality even as he softly chuckled; I could just imagine that beautiful grin of his taking shape of his lips as he ran a strong hand through those waves of his. 'Could you at least attempt to keep your thoughts to yourself, little one?!?' There was that chuckle again. 'I'd rather not have to take a cold shower right before our date, il mio piccolo sexy....' ((My sexy little one))

An immediate blush heated my cheeks as I giggled quietly, thoughts straying to my Mate, and what it would be like when we finally Mated. Goddess, I can't wait! Even as a grin broke across my face, a wave of unease and sadness swept over me; I'd always heard of Mates finally finding each other one day and Mating and Marking that very night, but I wasn't ready for that yet... I wasn't even sure what my problem with the whole ordeal was- it certainly was by no means Alessio's fault- but I only hoped that he'd bare with me just a little while longer...
