October 10, Saturday

Once I get home I feel a little more relaxed. I had more time to be alone and think about everything Cara told me.

Yes, I had a very strong connection with Grayson and I honestly don't see myself leaving him. But ruling a pack and barely even knowing each other. I don't even know his birthday.

I'm guessing that's the pull Cara was talking about. I'm kinda upset it's not our own feelings that brought us together but the moon goddess.

I unlock my door and walk in. I throw my purse on the kitchen counter and walk to my bedroom.

Grayson said he wanted to go on a date with me tonight. That's when I'll ask him about the mate thing. I have to know what he thinks about it and when he was going to tell me.

Once I walk into my room I notice a black box on my bed. It was wrapped up in a pretty red bow. Did Grayson leave this?

I walk over to the box and open it. A beautiful dress sits inside with a pair of 2 inch heels. I take the silk dress out of the box slowly acting as if it's a child. It was almost a skin tight dress with a slip at the top. It was a nice creamy color that would look great on my skin.

Did Grayson pick this out himself? Maybe Cara did.

I pick up the note and read it slowly.

Be ready at 7pm.

I look over at the clock and see I still have a couple hours. I wonder where he is taking us? Obviously somewhere expensive. This dress looked as if it cost more than my apartment.

I decided to start after a hour wanting to look my best. I fixed up my hair but also left it as it's natural state. I put on the same amount of makeup but decided to do eyeshadow that would watch the dress.

After that I put on the dress. It felt like cream against my skin and made me have goosebumps. I can image Grayson ripping this dress....Oh my god I'm so dirty. I need to stop.

I put on the heels earlier than usual to get used to them. I don't wear heels unless there's a special occasion and that hasn't happened in awhile.

Time rolls around and I feel very anxious. Grayson said he wanted to pick me up but I feel like I need drive there myself to process my thought and what I'm going to say. I'm a very nervous person and I could say the wrong thing at the wrong time. Gosh I'm a mess.

The knock at my door makes my heart jump. He's earlier that I would expect. I grab my person and prepare myself for the storm.

I take a small breath before opening the door. As I open it a man with red hair stands there. Tyler!

"Hey ummm I just wanted.." I cut him off feeling my heart rate go up. If Grayson saw him standing here he would kill him.

"You have to leave before he sees you. Please leave." I say frantically pushing him away. He stumbles away with a concerned face. Tyler looks me up and down seeing me dressed up.

"Are you going on a date with that psycho. Izzy, he could have killed me. He isn't safe." Tyler says getting closer to me but I keep my arm out so he can't get close enough to where Grayson can smell his sent.

"He will be here soon. I'm safe. He's just a... jealous person. Leave Tyler." Tyler gave me a sad look. As I took a closer look at him I could see the hand print of Grayson around his neck. Being that Graysons hands were big, it was a big print.

"I promise. I'll come by later ok. Just leave." I look over to the elevator to see the different numbers lighting up every time the elevator would pass a floor.

"Run!" I whisper shout to him as I slam the door. I run to the kitchen and quickly wash my hands. I had to make sure I smelt nothing like him. I didn't have time to put perfume on as Grayson was already on the other side of the door knocking.

I open the door slowly revealing Grayson. I look his body up and down taking in everything that turned me on. He wore all black, nothing white. His suit fit him like a glove showing off his ripped chest and arms. His tattoos peaked out of his jacket, his hands and neck. I feel like I'm dreaming.

I look up at Grayson to see his features more darkened in the dimly lit hallway. His electric eyes the only thing glowing as they stared into me. Taking me captive.

He slides his large hands down my dress to my thighs then back to my hips where they sit. The material was cold while his hands were red hot making my skin ignite. I bit my lip as I held onto his forearms.

"You look undeniably beautiful." Grayson says softly before kissing my lips. I kiss him back lightly before pulling away. I shut my door and lock it before turning back around. His eyes never leaving my body.

The entire way to the restaurant Graysons hand stayed on my thigh. Moving higher and higher every mile. Once we arrived I barely could breath. The place was no place for people like me. The outside looked like it cost a million to build it.

Snapping me out of my thoughts Grayson opens the door for me. When did he even get out of the truck? I give him my hand but he grabs my waist and lowers me down. I blush lightly at the contact so close to my breast.

He keeps his hand on my lower back as we walk into the restaurant. There was a bunch of fancy people in tuxes and dresses that looked incredibly expensive. Barely paying attention Grayson leads us to a table. He pulls the chair out for me making me feel like a princess.

Although soon this night might go to crap.
