“Is there any truth to that?” Perhaps the moon played a part in getting us together.
Brett shrugged. “My beast thinks the full moon rebuilds his strength, and he likes to bathe beneath its beams.”
I had to see that. Even my snow leopard took note and commented that the unicorn’s body would shimmer under the moonlight.
Magical, I told him.
“But humans think the crescent moon is shaped like my beast’s horn.” He took another chocolate muffin and stuffed it in his mouth, crumbs tumbling over his shirt.
I preferred Brett’s beast’s version.
“Wanna be naughty?” My mate stood up and pulled his tee over his head.
“Here? Now? What if someone comes by?” This park was popular with families and kids.
“Not sex, silly. A swim under the waterfall. Keep your underwear on. This is not X-rated.”
Brett dived into the water, and I followed after tossing off my clothes. Gods, it was so cold. Goosebumps sprawled over my skin as the cold water sent shockwaves through my body.
I surfaced and yelled, “It’s freezing.”
“Yes. That’s the point, to wake us up and feel something!”
I feel plenty, and I didn’t need a bath in cold water. My beast was less than impressed.
“We’re alive, Anders, and it’s so good.” Brett smacked his forearms onto the water.
I wasn’t as enthusiastic as my mate, but I copied him and tilted my head back, scrutinizing the moon and imagining a unicorn dancing under the moonlight.
Brett climbed out and outstretched his hand.
“I thought we were celebrating life,” I said as he pulled me out.
“We are, we did. You think I want to stay in that cold water until my bits shrivel and my fingers are pruney?”
“We didn’t bring towels.” I jumped from one foot to another, trying to keep warm.
“Good thing we have the blanket.” We put the leftovers in the baskets and wrapped the blanket around us as we walked awkwardly to the car.
“Who’s going in to collect Choccie?” I pulled up outside Jonah and Kyle’s. We were both wet and hadn’t gotten dressed.
But someone must have seen the car. The front door opened and our puppy barreled out, barking at the gate. Brett raced out, clad in the blanket and his briefs.
“No time to talk, Jonah. Thanks.”
“Must have been some date night,” our friend commented.
“The best,” I agreed. “You’re staying at my place tonight, right?” It was a silly question because Brett spent most nights at my house.
Choccie lay on the bathroom floor as we showered and got into our PJs, and she joined us in bed, after having a mouthful of muffin.
“Where are we going for our next date night?” I asked as the dog wormed her way under the covers.
“Let’s make it a full moon,” Brett suggested.
I shivered, wondering if the moon did possess powers, meant only for a unicorn.
