"Did you have a good ti together?"
At the mansion's gate, Selene stood with two groups of maids. A familiar red sports car humd beside them as her eyes narrowed her sharp red eyes at the pair.
"Hehe, it was amazing... I hope you have fun too, Selene."
To his surprise, the pair didn't argue. Instead, Nikita slipped her hand free, skipped towards Selene, and hugged her tight.
'Huh?'
He was impressed by the progress of his won, who started to adapt and accept each other. However, he wondered what Selene had planned for their date.
With a sense of anticipation, he watched her closely—the air around her seed more seductive and dangerous compared to her usual appearance.
"I will do my best, Nikita." Selene curved her lips further, forming a wicked grin. Then, she pushed Nikita away, stroking her hair, before the werewolf huffed and rushed inside with Leona.
Selene snorted at the cheeky wolf and pointed to the red sports car.
"Climb in, my dear—let's go for a drive."
"Is that what you plan to do with today?"
Nikolai could not help but ask, curious about what Selene was thinking. In return, she smacked her lips, blew a kiss to him, and sighed before climbing into the driver's seat.
He didn't waste any ti, and thankfully, it seed Selene and Nikita planned this together, as spare clothes and other items were kept in her bedroom.
'The reason I doubt them is because my clothes match Selene's outfit today.'
Vroom!
"What do you want to do first, maybe a coffee?"
A rumbling boom filled the area as the floor vibrated beneath their feet.
Nikolai enjoyed Selene's care, so he bought a matching model. He rubbed the back of his head, leaned back, and closed his eyes with a pleased hum.
"Coffee, that sounds good."
The mont the car took off, Selene let out a squeak of joy and revved up the speed, driving out of the protected area, hitting almost 120 mph and swerving through the empty lanes.
'This girl is dangerous!'
What impressed Nikolai was her handling and the ability to control a car going this fast with such ease that her tongue slipped along her lips, wetting them with her saliva. She peeked at his face in the rearview mirror and winked before pushing down the acceleration.
'Well, it's exciting.'
"Do you like driving fast, baby?"
Selene called out to him as they zood down the governnt-owned roads, which were closed to common use. These speeds would be dangerous for a normal human.
"I love it, Selene."
He never imagined that cars created for supernaturals would be modified to the limit, producing horsepower at least 40% faster than the fully modded base model for humans. The sheer power caused the engine to roar like a beast.
'However, I rarely see her eyes so vivid and alive.'
Nikolai enjoyed the driver, not complaining when Selene U-turned and drove back down the expansive road just to enjoy longer doing such imnse speeds; she drifted and pulled handbrake tricks, skidding tres across the asphalt while shouting and squealing.
"Woo! I love it, this is what I live for!"
This side of Selene wasn't sothing he had seen so clearly before—she loved excitent.
A complete speed junkie!
Skrrt!
Two hours later, they finally arrived at a familiar coffee shop—the Moonducks he had t earlier in their relationship. Back then, he was nothing but Selene's fake squire, and she was his master. The funniest thing was that she could never control him.
'Not even for a mont.'
"What do you wanna drink, babe?"
Her tone and voice beca more relaxed. Her black leather jacket swayed in the wind as she closed the car doors with a sharp expression.
Selene looked like one of those hot punk or goth girls.
She wore bold makeup and black and red clothes. Her hair was tied into a high bun, with bangs hanging down against her cheeks.
"I'll drink anything you choose, but no coconut."
'I hate coconuts.'
"No problem, you're quite cute today."
He didn't mind Selene's attitude. It reminded him of the cheeky woman he t on their first eting. When she acted like his life would be over, despite him seeing through her bluff and enjoying the strange actions she took.
'We've co so far...'
Nikolai didn't expect her to queue up like a normal custor, so it was quite endearing to watch her wait and even carry her little stamp card to get a free coffee with her.
'She's still got her cute sides.'
In reality, he didn't notice at their first eting, but her trash was full of nothing but coffee stamp cards—working at the Scarlet Group's headquarters used to be sothing she spent most of her day doing.
"You seem amused—what happened?"
Selene's voice echoed as she placed down a caral macchiato with extra cream and a blueberry muffin in front of Nikolai.
"Just watching my beautiful wife, buying a coffee with her little stamp card."
"Ah?!"
Her face turned bright red as she placed her grande Aricano on the table and sat down in a huff. But Nikolai couldn't help but enjoy watching her little antics while pouting.
"Are you upset? I did find it cute you know?"
"Hmph."
The taste of coffee felt sweeter when watching Selene's lovely expression, and he couldn't help but want to tease her more.
"Does it taste good?"
Selene seed a little less upset about his teasing her, and he nodded.
"It's the best, thank you. You know my taste so well."
"R-Really? Hehe... I know."
When Nikolai finished enjoying his drink and snack, he stretched, sitting back and smiling.
"So... tell , what crazy plan have you got in your head this ti?"
'If we can co out and spend this long driving, drinking coffee, and chilling. I would be quite surprised, Selene normally like sothing special...'
Then he rembered the quiet hotel they stayed at last ti and noticed her shy expression, blushing and turning away slightly before her lips parted.
"Well... I was thinking, would you like to have a al with ?"
"Do you think I could ever say no?"
Nikola smiled with his bright teeth shining.
'A simple al? Sohow it sounds wonderful.'
At first, he assud they might have a al at so expensive restaurant... but then he noticed her tapping her phone and booking so fresh ingredients for delivery.
"Are you cooking for ?"
The mont Nikolai asked, Selene's lips trembled, and her cheeks turned red down to her neck as she blushed. Her soft voice quivered as she spoke.
"Yes... You will let do that, right? Is it bad, if you don't want to I can—"
"Stop!"
Nikolai reached out and stopped Selene's rambling, tapping her nose.
"Ah." She gasped.
"You never cease to amaze . This isn't a problem."
With that sorted, the couple left the coffee shop, strolling to the park and enjoying the atmosphere of a relaxing, uninvolved holiday date—because the food would take 2 hours to arrive, they held hands and enjoyed a quiet and happy date like a normal couple.
Not long after, enjoying the sights of the city as normal people, not running around fighting, doing business or looking for work.
'It's quite nice... this date.'
"Are you not bored?"
Selene seed worried that he might dislike this, but he wanted her to know that this was his idea, dating back to before he awakened as a hybrid.
"No, it's the perfect date. It makes wish I had t you sooner."
"Hmm..." her throat humd before she stared at him with a sincere gaze. "If I wasn't a vampire, or a princess would we still be together?"
They ca to a halt with the sound of gravel beneath their feet.
Selene twisted her foot, making more noise, but Nikolai stared at the beautiful woman with red cheeks.
"If we t before, I would have never had the confidence to date soone as perfect as you, but if you had given the chance back then. I'd have loved you until my last breath..."
As she gazed into his eyes, a ticklish sensation grew along with a churning heat that made her want to jump into his arms and assault him with endless kisses.
"Nikolai..."
"Would you ever have dated knowing I was poor, stupid and useless?"
Selene gazed at his soft expression, feeling her fangs throbbing at his smile—it made her feel an urge, not only as a predator, but deeper desire, lust, need... the kind that drove a vampire.
'I love him!'
"I would have made you rich, helped you stand tall!"
"Haha, no way was I even your type?"
Her eyes narrowed as she swung her body and tried to calm her racing heart before nodding.
"When I first saw your picture... I felt attracted to you—your body and build are my type. So, even if you weren't Nikolai Volkov, I would have wanted you!"
"Hahaha... it makes happier than I thought to hear that."
Grabbing her hand, Nikolai squeezed her delicate fingers and dragged her towards the car. He wanted to return to her apartnt and avoid the public eye.
Sothing about her changes and the cute side of her made him crazy.
"Let's go back to your place..."
"Mm..."
Unlike her usual self, she didn't answer back or stop her from speaking. Instead, she lowered her head and nodded with a low hum. It appeared Selene also wanted to return with him, her eyes peeking at him several tis as their connected hands swung together.
'I hope he enjoys the al...'
