Love conquers all

The next morning, as I was opening the door to go out and have breakfast, I found Nathan with his fist suspended in the air: “I was about to knock!”

“Here I am! If I’m the one you were looking for.”

“I will always and only look for you, Little Bird!” I kissed him immediately, trying to hide my thoughts: my “always” had a very short deadline. Every time I tried not to think about it, that thought came back insistently.

“Where are you taking me?” I asked closing the door of my hotel room.

“I am taking you to breakfast!” He replied nonchalantly. Soon after, he noticed my incredulous face and gave me a surprised grin.

“Don’t you want to have breakfast?”

“I was wondering where you are taking me, after having breakfast!”

“Okay I’ll tell you, I’ll take you to visit a neighborhood in Florence.”

“Can you be a little more specific?”

“What kind of surprise would that be?” He muttered, gesturing with one hand.

“I have a surprise for you too, tonight!” I had sent him a message that I probably shouldn’t have, but that was how I had to torture him!

“Oh Yeah?! Thank you, Little Bird”; he said to me in a way that seemed nonchalant, but in my opinion he was dying inside to ask what it was, but he had to resist and avoid asking. This was definitely the right torture.

In the morning we went out on an excursion with the professors, while in the afternoon we had the usual three hours of free time.

“The time has come to take you to the surprise”; Nathan announced with a smile.

“Finally!” I exclaimed a little too enthusiastically. I greeted my friends who knew of the surprise that awaited me, while he took my hand and began to follow the road following a map. After twenty minutes of walking we arrived in front of an artisan perfume shop.

“I can’t believe it! How did you find such a place?” I asked incredulously putting my hands on my head.

“I would do anything for my Luna!” He exclaimed, kissing my cheek and entering the shop.

“Good morning, how can I help you guys?” Asked politely the woman who was sitting behind the counter, her smile was genuine and her eyes inspired tenderness. The shop was illuminated by natural light that came from a skylight, located in the center of the ceiling. The walls were entirely hidden by shelves full of perfume bottles, it was difficult to identify which one invaded the whole shop.

“We were looking for a particular perfume”.

“Usually, I have all the fragrances requested by customers in the shop, please tell me.”

“Peach and Frangipani”; Nathan said with a tone between hopeful and sorry, at least that was the feeling I had perceived.

The saleswoman, on the other hand, had an indecipherable expression; she searched the shelves, among small bottles and bottles. The interesting and above all encouraging thing was that she hadn’t said she didn’t have it!

After a long time she said victoriously: “Here you are, finally!”

“Can I smell the scent?” Nathan asked, maybe he wanted to make sure it resembled my scent.

“Of course”; she sprinkled some perfume on a strip, waved it for a moment and then passed it to Nathan. He closed his eyes to concentrate and as he inhaled he smiled, looked at me and brought the strip to my nose, inviting me to smell the perfume. He came close to my ear and in the meantime he whispered to me: “It smells like you!” When the perfume invaded my nostrils and at the same time Nathan’s whispered words caressed my ear, shivers of excitement flooded my body. He moved away to look into my eyes and a mischievous grin appeared on his face, I was sure he could smell my excitement, his eyes for a while constantly changed color, he was able to quickly take control because the saleswoman disturbed asking: “What do you think guys, do you buy it?”

“It’s a wonderful perfume, yes, I’ll take it!” I replied enthusiastically, I wasn’t sure if I could use it, but surely I could sniff it.

“Do you have any others?” Nathan asked, looking towards the shelf where the lady had taken that perfume.

“No, unfortunately that’s the last one I have. It’s not a fragrance I was selling; it was made especially for my mother. She loved peaches but she couldn’t eat them because she was allergic and had a garden full of frangipani. I was looking for a way to combine the two things she loved most. For her 50th birthday I was able, in my laboratory, to mix the right dose. It had become her favorite perfume, the only one she used. Unfortunately she died a few months ago…“; she said with sadness in the voice that perfectly reflected her expression and without knowing she had removed my doubt, that of being able to use it or not without triggering the allergic reaction.

Without a doubt that was a wonderful surprise!

“Thanks, Nathan!” I said just outside the shop.

“Not at all, Little Bird!” He kissed the tip of my nose and he took my hand in his and said: “Let’s go to your friends, I promised them an ice cream!” I chuckled thinking about Abby and her pouting if she didn’t have her ice cream.

That evening, after dinner, we had organized an outing with the school group: we had found a pub where we could dance and have a few drinks, to celebrate Nathan’s birthday. For the occasion I wore a red lace dress that hugged my body perfectly, it was long up to the knee, it was one of those sober but at the same time sexy dresses.

“Are you ready, Myra!” Abby said, applying the last stroke of lipstick. She turned me around and I almost didn’t recognize the girl reflected in the mirror, it was me. I used to see my face in soapy water, but this girl was wearing makeup for a party.

“Thanks, Abby! I don’t even look like me “; she came over and said, “It’s you Myra, beautiful as ever. You look beautiful naturally and with make-up. ”

“True, wait for Nathan to see you!” Andrea said mischievously.

“I hope to find someone who looks at me like Nathan looks at you!” Aurora said, crossing her fingers in prayer with her dreamy eyes.

“Why? How does he look at me?” I was curious to find out if it was how I saw his eyes.

“As if nothing in the world existed apart from you!” It was true, from the beginning Nathan had always had a particular eye for me, a word of love, a kind gesture, a sincere feeling. He had immediately felt the call of the Mate bond, which I did not feel, perhaps. I say maybe because I didn’t feel the sparks, but I felt the shivers of pleasure, I didn’t feel the bond pulling me towards him, but I was jealous if someone approaches him, I was physically attracted in an animalistic way, every time I felt the need to feel his closeness, when I felt negative feelings he had the power to calm me down. So even though I was human, all of this I believe was part of the mate bond that I shared with Nathan. An indissoluble bond that I would soon break, because of the monster that grew inside me day after day. There were many, many things I wanted to do in my future, but due to a twist of fate I would not have had the opportunity to do it. A lonely tear ran down my face and the girls hugged me, in a group hug. There was a knock on the door and it was Nathan who had come to get me to go to dinner together. Abby quickly wiped my tear away and said: “You’re perfect, go to him!” I smiled and went to open the door.

“Good evening, Little Bird!” I greeted Nathan in an excited voice, his eyes widening as soon as he saw me.

“Good evening, Alpha!” I greeted him with a smile and a kiss on the cheek.

“You are gorgeous…“; I turned around on myself to show him the full picture.

“Come on, before I lose control over Falco!” He said, taking my hand and tugging lightly to go to dinner. I grinned at the thought of how I would rather skip dinner and after dinner to be alone with Nathan and give him my present. I was so excited at the thought of giving my virginity away that I didn’t realize my panties were wet, soaking wet and as soon as the elevator came, Nathan didn’t even wait for the automatic doors to close to lock me against the wall. He sniffed the perfume deeply on my neck, exactly where he would have marked me.

“The scent of your excitement drives me, drives us crazy!” He said in a deep, excited voice.

“I’m sorry but I can’t control myself!”

“If this is the effect I have on you without touching you then imagine when you are completely naked to my merchandise.” He took a bite on my neck and sucked hard, making a moan come out of my lips. His warm breath on my neck gave me goosebumps.

“This sound gives me the impetus to imagine how you will scream when you reach the height of pleasure.”

He looked me straight in the eye and soon after he captured my lips in a passionate kiss, which was interrupted by the “din” that warned us of the imminent opening of the elevator doors.

Giggling, panting and eager to savor the long-awaited moment, we exited the elevator to reach the hotel restaurant for the dinner.
