She relaxed under him. Tony felt the shift as surely as one could feel the changing of the win. The way Makenzie instinctually leaned into his frame. How the tension melted from her shoulders... How she tipped her head back, cradled into Tony's shoulder, to look up at him; exposing the smooth collum of her throat. The urge was there, suddenly, tensely, to slide his fingers over that yielding expanse. Then to cup his palm across Kenzie jaw and seal her full lips with his own...

Tony took a deep breath, the Omega's scent filling his mind as he smiled down at his soon-to-be riding companion. So distracted with his own imagings and her smile, the Alpha hadn't realized he had, in fact, teased his fingers along Kenize's throat. Tony pulled his hand away, fingertips tingling. "Just two?" Tony protested as the line started to move forward. "I suppose I can work with two as you're only slightly less than double the boys you clearly like hitting on."

With that, it was their turn to climb into a suspended basket, be bolted in, and then slowly traverse a large circle in the hopes to have a decent view while at the top. It required Tony having to untangle himself from Kenize but replaced with a very sure but old fashioned gesture of taking the Omega's hand and guiding her first into the basket. He held her hand firmly, giving his strength and stability if she needed to get settled before he climbed in afterwards.

Locked into place and spun off so that the worker could load another guest, Tony took another sip of his beer. It seemed to taste spicier as it mellowed which the Alpha found interesting. Somehow the spicy taste tickled up to his brain as the ride really got underway.

"I wanted to kiss you just then." Wait. What?

It was all playful banter, she told herself. Silliness, even, and she might have easily dismissed it if she hadn’t felt his fingers tease along her skin. The air between them thickening until Kenzie felt like she couldn’t draw breath as with one, effortless gesture. He had rendered her speechless. She’d been with men, of course. She’d dated and yet in all her years, nothing had ever been quite as intoxicating as his fingers against the column of her throat, and for one, stupid moment of sheer fantasy? She actually imaged him dipping his head to kiss her…

Until he didn’t.

Her shoulders sagged as the spell was broken. The loss of contact rolling through her like a physical wave that might have made her stumble. If not, that is, for his steadying presence. She was not the best when it came to reading men or situations, but even Kenzie felt certain she wasn’t imagining it. Mostly certain. Less and less certain as she reasoned she was projecting her own desire onto him.

“And that’s one.” The words tumbled out as she tried, and mostly failed, to recover. Her pale skin, stained pink as the movement of the line allowed her a moment to unjumble her thoughts. She was going to kill Allie the next chance she had. For putting stupid fantasies in her head. Kenzie had been struggling not to play ‘what if’ games ever since and that was really not helping her now.

A little space might have been welcome, just so that she wouldn’t say or do something stupid. Yet his hand taking hers and the basket that awaited them, quickly put an end to that idea. She was painfully conscious of where they touched. His steadying hand as the basket swayed beneath her weight. Kenzie exhaling a calming breath as he settled beside her as if they were just two friends enjoying a spin on the Ferris Wheel.

“What?” Or not?

Kenzie must have stared at him for a full ten seconds, it felt like, before she could trust what she’d heard. Her gray-blue eyes darting back and forth as she struggled to read the intent of that casual admission.

“You… did?”

The weight of the silence after his unplanned admission was cumbersome. It made his ribs tight and his body bead with sweat with the labor of it. His mind a hive that had been invaded and the bees busy searching for the intrusion. Tony could feel Kenize's searching eyes as surely as he could feel the firm press of his lips that he held them in but he did not turn too meet her gaze. They lurched to a stop another quarter-turn of the wheel.

What had possessed him to blurt out like that? This wasn't appropriate and he had promised himself that if anything happened between them that it would be by Kenize's lead because of her -

Did he?

"Yes," Tony blurted, the surprise that he'd answered clear as he turned to face Kenzie. Then the frustration came, creasing his face and tensing his mouth as he seemed to be fighting with something, his eyes bouncing, searching. "I've imagined kissing you at least a dozen times," Tony admitted in a sudden rush as if it was water breaking the dam that had been his mouth. "Any time you smile or bring something to your mouth I wonder what you taste like." It was like he couldn't stop and the panic was clear no.

Tony looked away and closed his eyes, pressing his lips together once more. As if he thought if he couldn't see Kenize then he wouldn't say anything more. They lurched to another stop high at the top of the wheel. The ground and control seemingly of his own mind far from them. "I apologize, this isn't appropriate." The Alpha was visibly sweating now from the strain of keeping whatever thoughts he had to himself. "I promised myself I'd let you decide and set the pace." Tony's eyes snapped open, now glowing faintly gold around the edges with frustration. It was clear that closing his eyes did nothing to stop whatever was happening.

She’d always thought that if Tony had even the slightest interest in her, he would have simply said as much. He never gave her the impression that he was somebody who was afraid of going after what he wanted. That he could have simply been waiting for her to make a move - Kenzie, the one who never made the first move on anything - had never once crossed her mind. Even with Allie pointing out all the ways in which Tony had indicated an interest, she’d found a way to reason it through in her mind that he was just being nice. That they were just friends. That she was okay with the fact that they might always be, just that.

So it took her a moment, Kenzie half-convinced that a camera crew would jump out and yell ‘gotcha’. As if that would be more believable than the idea that he thought of her that way. Perhaps if she’d closed her eyes and allowed his words to wash over her, she might have believed him.

Confusion knit her brows together as Kenzie tried to reconcile his words with his demeanor. The Alpha telling her everything she wanted to hear while looking like it was killing him to do so. She might have taken it to heart. Did in fact feel that instinct to withdraw and perhaps, if she didn’t know him better, she would have done just that.

Whatever else was going on here? Kenzie knew Tony would never say something just to mess with her, and the more he struggled? The less she cared about her own confused feelings and focused fully on him instead.

“Tony.” Twisting as much as the bar would allow her to, Kenzie breached the distance between them. Her hand skimming across his cheekbone as she cupped his face, gently encouraging him to look at her. She’d never seen this side of him before; panic-stricken and out of control. Like he might have vaulted out of their basket if they weren’t some forty feet in the air.

“I don’t wake up at four-thirty in the morning because I like running.” She knew the moment she said it, that this could be a colossal mistake. That while she was convinced he wasn’t saying these things to mess with her, it was painfully obvious he didn’t want to say them at all but if ever there was a moment for Kenzie to throw caution to the wind and just be honest? It had to be this one.

“I hate running. I hate getting up before the sun comes up. I have zero desire to improve myself through daily exercise.” She was rambling. A delay tactic but they were a little beyond that now. So she drew in a steadying breath as she ran her thumb along his cheek. The smallest hint of a smile hooking the corner of her mouth as she forced herself to meet his gaze and say the very thing that by now, should have been painfully obvious. “I do it so I can see you.”

Even though he wasn't so much ashamed of the words that lept from his mouth, Tony was very much irritated with their sudden cavalier attitude. He did feel foolish, above all, sitting there with a damn beer still in his hand. He looked down at the offensive thing, brows knitted together, as the Alpha tried to process exactly when did he start feeling like he was not in control. Tony studied the amber liquor. Feeling like it was suddenly a live thing in his hand. Fixated with Makenzie scent as he had been, he hadn't noticed that the beer in question smelt... off. Didn't had tasted a bit strange as well for a pilsner? Too spicy. Too...

Anthony abandoned the damn thing on the floor of the bucket seat on his left, precarious as that were. Tony... The way Kenzie said his name, the feel of her soft, small hand smoothing over his cheek, made the Alpha take a sharp breath and hold it. Her scent now aswirl in his mind as he allowed her to guide his face. Kenzie's face soft, almost maternal, as she studied his face and expressed how she didn't wake up for four-thirty in the morning for the fun of it let alone to run. That she, in fact, hated it. Hated to do exercise at all.

A sudden fantasy filled Tony's mind. The image of sunrise bathing over Makenzie naked in his bed. Sleeping on her belly, hair splashed across the pillow and she half tangled in his white sheets with her leg exposed and draped over the side of the bed. A beautiful vision to be rewarded with after his run or even after his shower... He could feel her skin between his blunt teeth as he'd nip at her shoulder before nuzzling his way into the back of her neck and murmur softly that it was time to wake up...

Makenzie's thumb was soothing along his cheek. Her full lips quirked with a smile Mona Lisa would be proud of... "I know," Tony said. He reached out for the Omega, his large hand lightly gripping at her upper arm that was extended. His own thumb brushing the material of her shirt there in a soothing pattern. "You've done things for others your whole life, Makenzie. You've had few choices or people outside of your extended family there for you." Tony swallowed his annoyance away, "I wanted you to know that I could be trusted. Someone you could depend on if you wanted to."

The Alpha let go of her arm, now distracted with the way her hair partially fell in her eyes. Tony carefully tucked it away, his fingertips skimming over her forehead to do so. "I just wanted it to be your choice instead of something else that was thrust upon you... No matter how many times I've imagined otherwise."

She was too distracted by the moment to care about his beer or why he was discarding it. Kenzie holding her breath as she allowed her words to hang between them as both an answer and a question. She thought it would be a relief. Admitting the very thing she’d been holding in for months now. Being able to say she knew, one way or another what they were or could someday be. No regrets. No, what-ifs. Considering much of her life had been spent walking a path that was filled with those two things, you’d think that bold action, even in the form of words would be invigorating.

It wasn’t.

Instead, she felt half-paralyzed by the unknown, at least until those two words passed his lips. Kenzie’s mouth falling open, blinking at him as he said the second thing tonight to make her head spin. He knew. He knew? God if it weren’t for the importance of this moment she swore, she’d have reached for that discarded beer and thrown it at him He knew and he never let on? Never acted on it?

A huff of breathless laughter spilled past her lips without a sound. His hand circling her arm, gently anchoring her to him as he continued to speak. She really wanted to tell him off, but if she were honest, it was because that’s what she always did with him. He’d tell her something that would spin her around and she’d scold him for it, even when she felt no anger.

She truly wasn’t angry, however. Couldn’t be as she took in everything that he said. She had every intention of needling him about this as often as humanly possible, but she couldn’t even be upset when he told her why. She could point out that this was different. That this was something that she wanted but in the end, she had to admit, it wouldn’t have been the same if it hadn’t been her completely her choice and if he hadn’t waited? Then she might not have been as certain then as she was now.

Her lashes fluttered as he brushed the hair from her eyes. Head tilting just so as if to chase the feeling of his touch. All those little moments from their past interactions, playing behind her eyelids as she saw every word, smile, and touch with fresh eyes.

“You are…” With another breathless huff, a smile pushed onto her lips even as she shook her head. Kenzie pressing her lips together in a poor attempt to contain it as she slipped her hand back through his hair, fingers running across his scalp. “... so lucky that is, the very best reason for not putting me out of my misery that I have ever heard.” Her smile once again overruling her control as she allowed herself to drink him in completely without that fear of being caught.

She barely noticed that she was leaning into him until she could feel the warmth of his breath against her skin. The lights and sounds of the festival, muted by the significance of this moment. She could have waited for Tony to make the move. They had all their cards on the table now but she realized that he didn’t just need her to do it. She needed to do it for herself.

“Just so we’re clear here?” Leaning into him until her lips were barely a whisper away from his. “I’ve made my choice.” Those words barely passing her lips before her full mouth was pressing against his.

Tony watched as Kenzie seemed to chase after his touch. Her eyes closed and her expression almost serene was a breathtaking sight in that micro-moment. It made his chest warm and something to tickle in the back of his mind. He could take her mouth then. Could devour her whole... Tony's fingers got lost in the fine wealth of Kenzie's hair. She seemingly having of the same mind as he felt the blunt scrape of her nails against his scalp. It made Tony's skin to tingle there and down his spine. A rumble escaped his chest even as Kenzie gave a breathless laugh at him.

The Alpha couldn't help his own smirk as Kenize mentioned he was lucky that his reasoning for not taking matters into his own hands was the very best. "Remember," he teased, "I'm very rarely wrong." Calling back on a previous conversation they had. Tony own brand of playful needling. Kenize was smiling, leaning fully into him and his other arm easily snaked about her tapered waist keeping her where she was.

Her mouth gravitating toward his own. Her body soft, warm and utterly tempting in his less controlled state. Tony possessively tightened his hold about Kenize's waist, his large hand smoothing over the side of her full hip and gripping there as if the Alpha worried she would disappear in his hold. That moment was distilled down to her mouth, her breath, her scent and how she moulded neatly into his form.

Just so we're clear... "Hmmm?" Tony intoned as he became distracted with his hand teasing down Kenzie's neck. His tumb tucking around the smooth column, making his touch possessive, assertive but utterly gentle. His fingers pressing into the back of her neck and lightly pressing with the urge to close the small distance.... She had made her choice. Tony couldn't help the slash of a smile that cut over his face. "Is that so?" He murmured back before feeling Kenzie's lush mouth press into his own.

The Alpha let her start the kiss but quickly took over. Parting and devouring her mouth. Coaxing another kiss, another bit of her breath. It was intense and full of every desire that Tony had held in check in the past as they spun quickly on the wheel. Missing every glittering view.

She might claim that she had forgotten what this felt like, yet in all her years it had never felt quite like this. His grip on her body, possessive yet protective. His touch was strong and somehow gentle both at once. It wasn’t at all like the way she’d daydreamed because her own imagination couldn’t come close to painting this moment between them. Could never conjure the way his scent would tease her senses or the way her body would mold against his firm lines.

Kenzie found herself almost wanting to stop, certain that nothing could feel better than this exact moment in time. That in fully crossing the barrier, whatever spell that had been woven would be broken. Like a fairytale turned topsy turvy and the kiss would be the end of something, rather than the start of something new. Perhaps what urged her forward was the realization that it was. Not the end of something good, but the end of a pretense she’d not been aware they had both been holding onto.

Her fingertips ran along his scalp as her other arm curled against his chest. Her palm flattening against his chest until she felt the steady thump of his heart in his chest. In the end, it was the easiest choice she’d ever made in that it wasn’t one at all. It was simply a culmination of the very thing she’d been wanting for long enough that she was almost embarrassed to acknowledge it.

For as bold as she might have been in pressing her lips to his, any idea that she was in command of the kiss was erased the moment he responded. The Omega’s lips yielding at the first ounce of pressure as he opened her up to taste. The soft sigh that tried to spill over, vibrated as a gentle moan against his lips. Kenzie’s body drawn flush to his side, whether by him or her own need, she couldn’t have said.

She could feel her heart making two beats to his every one. Her head tipped back in apparent surrender as her fingers dragged along his scalp. Tony stealing the very breath from her lungs as she allowed herself to be consumed by a kiss she’d once thought might never come.

Kenzie moaned into their kiss and it reverberated though Tony's body. Flash pointing a response low in the Alpha's gut and caused for his insides to coil tight with need. She yielded, head tipped back in offering to be consumed. Her hand pressed to his chest and feeling how his heart drummed against her fingertips. Tony could hear her own quicken. Taste it in their kiss. Feel it in how her nails dragged along his scalp once more.

The Alpha broke their kiss, heedless to how the world rushed by or who could possibly be watching. Tony growled in hungry reply to Kenize's biting nails. His tensing possessively over the delicate line of her throat. His mouth drifted along her jawline reverently. Once, twice and then he rumbled inches from the curve of her tempting neck.

Tony tipped and turned her head, thumb to chin, before bringing his teeth along the unblemished and soft skin there. Letting the blunt edges bloom his mark along. Tongue tasting his work before his tangled hand with in Kenzie's locks made a fistful and lightly tugged. "Perfect," Tony breathed over her full lips before sealing his thought was a soft kiss.

A soft, whimper of a sound involuntarily spilled over once that connection was lost. Kenzie all but chasing his lips, wanting it back even as she filled her lungs with uneven breaths. She lost all sense of who might be watching. Their intimacy dulling the sights and sounds of the Festival. As if nothing and nobody could penetrate what had been weeks, months in the making.

Instinct begged her to expose more of her neck to him. His possessive grip turning Kenzie to putty in his hands as he commanded her with little more than his presence. The low growl that vibrated across her skin, causing Kenzie to press her body closer to his, seeking the warmth of it. The feel of her soft curves yielding to his hard frame.

If not for the barrier that tried to hold them in place, she doubted she would have been capable of restraint. Not with the scrape of teeth against her skin. The unspoken promise that made her body shiver in his embrace as his fingers tangled in her hair. He was everything she ever imagined he might be and yet beyond anything she could have conjured up on her mind. The reality of the man, eclipsing the fantasy with the kiss that sealed its perfection in her mind.

“Wow...” Her full lips brushing against his, warm breath skimming over his mouth. Kenzie running her nose lightly along the outside of Tony’s in what was, a very wolf-like gesture. “I think you just ruined me for anyone else ever again.” Because while she’d been with men before. Been kissed before. She’d never encountered another man in her thirty years who even came close to making her feel like this.

Kenzie's disbelief fluttered over Tony's lips and made for a slash of a smile to cut across his own. He had ruined her to other men. "Is that so?" He more rumbled than asked? His voice low and utterly smoky compared to its normal timbre, as if the wolf within had made a home within his throat. A sense that only seemed to intensified as Kenzie scent marked him with her nose and cheek along his own.

The act making his shoulders bunch and raise slightly in an act that mimicked a wolf's fur rippling with pleasure. Still in command of Kenzie's head, hand still framing her jaw, Tony peppered kisses along her jaw once more and to the shell of her ear. The tip of his nose flirting along the small appendage, "Then everything is going along according to plan," he teased in that dangerous register before noticeably taking up her scent there with a deep, hungry rumble.

"Maybe it's for the best we're locked within this seat," Tony joked.
