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?&
“I’ll have them make one with a wolf on it. You can wear this for now. Actually, you should wear this even after we receive the one with the wolf.” His amendment was an assurance she needed.She silently gave him her hand and he smiled as he put it on her. As she stared at the ring and while he’s holding her other hand, he paid for their purchases.“We should go to the restaurant. It’s almost lunch time. We’ll have to wait for them to prepare the food so it’s better to get there early.”“Okay.” Her stomach churned, but not from hunger. There’s this seemingly fluttering movement inside her. She was excited and happy and nervous all at once.She liked the feel of his hand on hers and how he kept her close as they walked. Yes, she felt safe with him. Even with all these people around, their presence hardly registered to her.“Here it is.” When he turned to face her, he saw the way she was looking at him. It was different and it felt intimate. He didn’t want to ruin it so he simply smile
“There will be a fireworks show in a few minutes. It’s going to be loud. Actually, I think we should sit together.” He got up and moved his chair close to hers. Well, that went smoothly. The perfect excuse!“Fireworks? Fire?”“Not that kind of fire. You’ll see. It’s quite beautiful. Not as beautiful as you, of course.”Her lip twitched at the sudden compliment. He’s getting weird. He smiled at her reaction before wrapping an arm around her shoulder.“This is better.”They sat there as they waited and Luna remembered to return his phone and wallet.“Why did you leave your phone with me? I already have one. We could’ve used it to communicate.”“Hmm. I only left to get you a jacket. I didn’t take long, did I?”“Well, no. Still, something might have happened.”“Alright. I’ll listen to you.&rdquo
Alex squinted. Was that a trick question? He suddenly wondered if yes is the correct answer. It was, right?“Yeah? But you can’t use this near a fire or under water. There are special cameras for that, not a phone like this one.”“Oh, okay.” She had an idea. It’s possible to simply capture a photo of his photos, right?Alex decided against teasing her. He may or may not be correct about his assumptions.He went to sit closer to her, “Here. Let’s take a picture together. We don’t have one yet, right?”She seemed dumbfounded by his suggestion. “Oh. Okay.”It would be foolish to refuse him. He grinned at her before propping the camera in front of them. She awkwardly looked at themselves on the screen. Her expression was one of curiosity. Alex decidedly hit the record button instead of snapping a picture. He can just screenshot the video later on for any moment they want to
