The Assassin's Alpha Mate

15. Trouble

He loves me! I can't believe he said that.

"So, shall we?" He asked me while leading me over to the lake. The moonlight gleamed off it and twinkled in the night. My favourite time of day. The surrounding bushes swayed in the gentle wind and everything seemed so peaceful. The moon beamed down in us and light up the way.

Subconsciously I let Adrian lead me down to the waters edge. He held me gently in his arms and I felt his warm skin against my own.
"Take a deep breath love" he murmured into my ear and I did so.

Then, all of a sudden, I felt freezing cold water splashing around me. The coldness seeped into my swim suit and chilled me to the bone. I flapped around a bit, trying to keep my head above the water but it was no use until I stretched out my legs to push off and felt the ground right below me. Well that was embarrassing!
"Good to see you like swimming and cold water my love" I heard someone chuckle from behind me. I turned around as best and as graceful as I could, which sort of failed. There I saw a very smug looking Adrian standing behind me about waist deep in the water laughing his head off. He thinks I'm funny! Well I'll show him what's funny!

"Hey you! Your going to regret that!" I shouted as I started wading over to him. He quickly got my wave length and ran away as quickly as possible, which wasn't that fast really! I soon caught up with him. Seems like although he's a better swimmer I'm definitely a better wader!
He was almost at the waters edge when I tugged him from behind and he toppled over on top of me. I guess assassin training does help with a few things. Water splashed everywhere and I heard him groan from on top of me.
"Oh gosh, I'm so sorry Rae!" He better be, "I didn't mean to fall on you". And there I was thinking he would apologise for throwing me in the water!

So I did what any normal person would do. I continued to splash him very hard in the face with water and soon it turned into a full in water fight. I won, as expected.
"How about we get dried off and then we go and have a picnic I brought for us?" He offered.
"Ok" I answered.

^He's so sweet. I love him already^ sighed Luna.
^I agree and me too Luna. Is his wolf nice?^
^Yes he's lovely and so possessive^
^Even more than Adrian^
^yes!^

Then I noticed that Adrian was handing me the clothes I had on before.
"Thanks" I said as he just stood there, " would you mind just turning around for a sec please?"
"Why, I'm going to see you soon enough and what I can already see looks delicious!" He replied cheekily as I started blushing furiously.
"Just shut up and go behind that tree" I told him as I pushed him off in that direction.
I quickly changed into the dress I had on before incase Adrian decided to come back. "Ok you can come out now" I called.
And Adrian came back around from the tree.

"Wow, you look amazing!" He said in shock and it was so sweet. "Shall we?" As he offered out his arm to me.
"We shall" I answered while grabbing ahold of him. How could a mission for rogues turn out to be this!

He then led me over to a picnic rug on the floor. The red rug was displayed with all sorts of food which all looked delicious. A few sets of fairy lights hung up above and four candles were posted at each corner. It was ever so romantic. A bottle of champagne was set out in the side and little plates were at either edge. "Wow!" I thought.
He then continued to lead me over to the rug and sat me down on one side.
"What do you think my love?" He asked, clearly worried I wouldn't like it, "if you don't like it we can go somewhere else?" I've made the fearsome alpha Adrian worried! Go me!
"No no it's perfect, I love it!" I replied which eased his face a little.
