“Do you not want to continue training? Is there anything else you’re interested in doing?” He spoke slowly and his tone was low.Luna glanced at him, “I mean, it wouldn’t be much but I could at least protect myself, right? And if I train harder, I might also be able to protect others?”Huh. Why did she even . . .?“Even though I don’t think I’m meant to be a fighter, it’s still a good idea for me to train.” She amended her confusing statements.“It’s just that . . . people have expectations and I would feel bad not meeting them.”“You don’t need to care about what they think. Don’t let them affect your progress. You’re really doing well for a beginner.” He reached out, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. He gently tapped her arm, hoping she would feel comforted.She averted her gaze and tried watching the current match. He bega
He was able to have sweet dreams that night and woke up feeling excited. He went to prepare breakfast and a special dish for the wolves. He brought them all to her backyard before knocking on her door.Luna was already awake, feeling nervous at remembering what’s supposed to happen that day. She prepped herself up and wore her usual clothes. She would never admit that she was tempted to wear one of her old dresses.As soon as she opened her door, she already noted his grin. He seemed to be in a really good mood. “You’re beautiful.” His praise caught her off-guard. So early in the morning?She inhaled sharply as he pulled her into a hug and dipped his head to claim his first kiss of the day. Her hands landed on his chest and shoulder as he crowded her against the doorway. It went on far longer than she hoped. She moaned and was gasping for air before he stopped.“I can’t get enough of you.” He whispered against her ear as he kept her in his arms.Who knew she would feel exhausted with
She awkwardly smiled at him before approaching. “What can I help you with?”She meant to look around to see what he has already done but she suddenly found herself being held and kissed by him. Thoroughly. He couldn’t help himself. He tasted her mouth and pressed her closer to him. Her softness was comforting and the way she moaned made him more eager. She was responding to the kiss, warming him from the inside.He had to stop when the wolves howled to get his attention. The meat would be burned soon if he didn’t take if off the grill. He complied to their command, serving them the meat within a couple of minutes.Luna simply stood there, watching them as she placed her hands over her racing heart. She felt uncomfortable with a need rising from within her.He tried to ignore her for a moment, waiting for the wolves to leave before he could resume being intimate with her.She was still in a daze when he faced her again. He ge
“Stop worrying. Don’t be too excited, either. I need you to have enough energy tomorrow.”Before she can respond, he already leaned closer to capture her mouth and engaging her in a passionately long kiss. The goal of it was to distract her so he barely held himself back, diving deeper into her mouth and playfully tangling his tongue with hers. She moaned as he caged her in his arms and he felt successful with his endeavor.She was somewhat out of it when he finally let go. Her eyes were a little hazy as he smiled at her.“Go in. I’ll see you tomorrow.” He stole another kiss, urging her to move inside and even closing the door for her.Killian wasn’t impressed, growling behind him and huffing.His lip twitched. “Right, go in. Be sure to guard her well.”The wolf seemed to roll his eyes at him and growled some more.“I should buy you all some good meat tomorrow. How about that
“Relax. This is a straight road. Look, the turn is still far ahead.”Luna was relieved but she truly felt scared. She’s not sure why.“Have you crashed a car before? How much injury do you get in an accident?” Since they heal fast, she shouldn’t be afraid of getting wounds.Alex grimaced and looked at her again. Her eyes widened and it looked like she was silently reprimanding him.“Depends on how severe the crash was. If you’re going too fast, that would most likely be the worst.”“Aren’t we going too fast?”“It’s a clear wide road. We’re meant to drive fast here. You may see a few cars later.”“Have you been in an accident before?”“Driving? No. I’m good behind the wheel.”It took her a moment to understand what wheel he’s talking about.“How long again before we reached the c
Alex pursed his lips before shaking his head, “I don’t think so. History proved it couldn’t be done without bloodshed.”“That’s a pity.”They stopped talking when a waiter approached with their food.“That smells delicious.”The waiter smiled, “I hope you enjoy them.”“Thank you.” Alex replied, taking the guy’s attention away from her. He didn’t like how the staff smiled at her. In fact, he’d noticed it much earlier. People seemed to stare at her.“You’re too beautiful for this place.” He couldn’t help but lament.Luna wasn’t sure how to respond. Was it a compliment or a complaint?“Should we go back?” That way, he won’t have a problem. Right?His heart skipped a beat upon seeing her expression. “No! No. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you feel uncomfortable. It’s just . . . I feel like going to try and steal you from me. Look how many people have stared at you since we got here. I’m getting jealous.”Luna’s lip twitched. She was amused by his reaction and it eased her worries. She b
Alex approached her. He held her hand as he asked her to twirl a second time. His admiration for he was clear for everyone to see. Those who have been eyeing him earlier were also stunned by how beautiful she was. They definitely don’t have a change. Those two are a match made in heaven. They were both extremely attractive.“We also have shoes. I might be able to find one that would match your dress, if you’d like that?” She’s not really pushy. If they say no, she’s fine with that.“Yes, get her shoes to match.” Alex made the decision as he knew she’s still reluctant to spend.“Alright. I’ll come back in a minute.” The lady rushed to assist them. Most people hated waiting so she needed to be quick. Another staff noticed and helped her out.“Thank you.”She returned to the couple, holding four-inch heels of the same color as the dress.Luna raised an eyebrow a
“Yes. I’ll be done soon.” Her voice remained soothing as she finished up.His face was grim and the women behind him were extremely worried.“We’ve brought towels and a change of clothes.”“Let me.” He decidedly took them and forced his way in the restroom.The two women exchanged a glance. Should they allow this? The couple didn’t seem scandalous. Should they be worried?“Twenty minutes?” The manager wondered if that’s enough time for them to finish up.The older woman shook her head, “Isn’t that too long? Ten?”“I’ve known men who can finish in under five minutes.” The manager shrugged.“Five, then?”“Let’s do ten. We’ll knock if we hear anything inappropriate.”“Agreed.”Inside, Luna peeked her head and saw him.“What are you doing here?&
