“This is a lovely anniversary, isn’t it?” He grinned at me.
“You remembered?” I asked him with a smile.
“Did you really think I would forget? I pretended though, so I could see what you came up with. This is amazing, Little Bunny, I couldn’t be happier.”
“I’m glad you’re happy. And you had me fooled for sure. When you asked why I wanted to have the date I thought you didn’t know what the date meant.” Joaquin looked so sexy when he gave me that confident look. It was one that said he would never let me down. I believed it too.
“So, can I give you my gift?” He asked me as he reached into his jacket pocket. Be pulled a small box out of it and handed it over.
“I have one for you too.” I smiled at him as I pulled the small gift bag out and handed it to him.
“Shall we open them together?” He was excited as he looked at the box. He wanted to give it to me so bad.
“You open yours first, then I will open mine.” I told him as I slid the bag toward him.
“Fine.” He set the box on the table and took the bag.
Joaquin was like a kid when he opened presents. He always got excited and went to town on them. He pulled the paper out and tossed it aside. That wasn’t nice but a waiter caught it out of the air without even losing a beat while carrying a tray.
When Joaquin saw the gifts I heard him laugh.
“This is perfect, and so you.” He was grinning. “I can’t believe you found these.”
“To be fair, I had to modify the one with the wolf head. It had a nose on it. But it was fun changing it up so I didn’t mind.”
“They fit us perfectly. Especially since I really did fall for you when I fell on you. I wanted to eat you up right then and there.” I heard the heat in those words.
“You dirty dog.” I shook my head.
“You love it.” I did, but I wasn’t going to confirm it for him. “Here, open yours.” He prodded the box and pushed it toward me.
“Alright.”
I took the box and opened it. Inside there were charms that would go on my bracelet he got me for Christmas. There were four altogether. They were all paws with a letter emblazoned over them. The paws also had gemstones on them. There was a ‘T’ with blue topaz stones, an R with a golden colored citrine, an R with a dark blue sapphire, and an R with a bright pink tourmaline.
“You know, I am the only one without an R for my first initial.”
“That’s because you’re special.”
“I love these, Joaquin. They’re perfect.”
We finished our dinner and decided to head straight home. This night had been perfect. Better than I expected.

Did my little bunny seriously think that I forgot about our anniversary? Did she think that I wouldn’t remember the date of the first day that I smelled her in the woods? And the day that I followed my nose like a cartoon wolf and literally fell on top of her.
She has no idea how much I remember that day. I had destroyed half the house on my way to my office. I had shifted and jumped out my office window after listening to what the others had to say.
I remember it vividly. I often dream of the day and night that I met my mate. More often than not the dreams are nightmares and I am losing her because of my idiotic behavior. I won’t give up though. I will never leave her. She is my forever.
So, yeah, long story short I remembered that today, October the third, was the anniversary of the day we unofficially met. And two days from now was the anniversary of the day we first met.
That day I remembered quite often as well. I remember the way she looked at me. The lust that mixed with the fear in her eyes. I wanted her from day one but I told myself that I didn’t. I wanted her like I had never wanted anyone or anything else in my entire life.
The day she finally became mine was like a dream come true. Of course I was going to remember and celebrate the day that started all of this. I was a romantic at heart you know.
I knew she was going to do something as well but I hadn’t expected this. She looked beautiful. That dress made her look sexy, amazing, and perfect. And she had prepared an entire night out. She called ahead, reserved seating and parking. We got top notch service. And at the same restaurant as our first date. It was perfect.
The gifts were, as always, perfectly suited to us. I can’t believe she managed to find the frames that were a perfect fit for our situation. And the Fido plush. I would keep them. You know I would. I was going to proudly display them all in my office. Not the one at home, the one in the city.
My Little Bunny really had outdone herself. But now it was my turn. Following dinner I drove her home, neither of us talking much along the way. When I went to get her out of the car I pulled her to me and lifted her into my arms.
“Ah!” She yelped in surprise. “Joaquin, what are you doing?”
“I am carrying my wife into the house.” My laughter rumbled through me and reverberated through her.
“I can walk, you know.” She pouted a little.
“Oh I know, I just want to.”
