Kaden's Luna

Bonus Chapter #2

Bonus Chapter #2 - Promises

"This is ridiculous!" I mutter under my breath as I smooth down the material of the dress.

I'm wearing a white lace dress that has a v neckline and is sleeveless, held up by thin straps. The skirt is high from the front and low in the back, descending in a v shape. It also has a light, nude slip underneath that flows down to my knees. I turn from side to side, the corners of my lips lifting because no matter how much I'm protesting, I love this dress.

Eva, Natalie and Leah squeal in excitement when I walk out of the bathroom, fully ready. I insisted on a soft, light makeup look that was done by Eva. Natalie had styled my hair into gentle curls and Leah helped me put the outfit together. She paired nude heels to go with the dress and I put my necklace on that Kaden had given me for Christmas.

"We're just going to a restaurant for a date. This is too much!" I state exasperatedly, worried that they had gone a little overboard.

"Someone smack her on the head for me." Aurora states with seriousness, making me squeal as Eva slaps my cheek.

"She said the head!"

Eva grins cheekily before shrugging. "I drove for an hour to be here, you deserve that for ruining my fun with your whiny ass."

Aurora had texted me today, demanding that I face-time her when I get ready for my date. But before we even started, we spent at least twenty minutes talking to the twins and fawning over the new Romanov addition. Aurora had given birth last week to a healthy baby girl, Valentina. It was adorable to watch the two elder siblings behave protectively around their little sister.

"The restaurant Kaden has picked is very fancy, we're not going to let you turn up in a shirt and jeans!" Leah exclaims, piquing my curiosity.

"What's the name of the restaurant?" I ask, mentally grinning like the cat who got the cream when she smiles excitedly.

"Oh, you're going to love it! It's the one by the – hey!" She shouts, pushing me slightly in realization. "You tricked me!"

I pout, Kaden refused to tell me anything about the date. I had tried everything I could think of to get him to spill, but he remained silent on this one. I didn't even know what to wear until the girls showed up two hours before.

There is a momentary silence when the doorbell rings before it's a rush to get me out the door. I'm handed my purse, which I've packed with some essentials, and my coat that I sling over my arm. The girls shower me with hugs and compliments before leaving.

I make my way down the stairs of my home to see Kaden waiting by the patio doors, staring out at the setting sun in the distance. He looks up at the sound of my footsteps, making me giggle when his jaw drops. His eyes darken to a stormy blue as he takes me in, pulling me into his arms when I leave the steps.

"You look like an angel." He breathes, twirling me around. "My angel."

"You look quite handsome yourself." I murmur, wrapping my arms around his waist as I smile up at him.

He really does. Kaden is wearing a navy suit with a white button up shirt and black shoes. I could tell he brushed his hair and tried to tame it, but it only ended up looking tousled. Just the way I like it. I can smell his aftershave and it surrounds me, a familiar scent that feels like home.

"Are you really mine, forever?" He whispers, almost to himself, staring at me in wonder.

"Forever." I nod, making him smile widely before taking my hand in his.
