His Reluctant Luna novel Chapter 26

"Fat chance! Mr Blake," I quipped. 

"A man can always try," he shrugged.

I laughed," why don't you go back to bed and catch up on your sleep. Meanwhile, I will keep myself busy duelling with your jealous Exes?"

"I don't have that many Exes, at least not in this pack. After Eliza, I swore off dating anyone from my pack. Didn't want any bad vibes." 

"Thank God for the small mercies," I muttered.

"Now come on, go back to sleep, "I placed my hand on his chest and pushed him towards his bedroom. It was like pushing on a wall of muscles.

He laughed and held my wrists, pulling me towards him. As a result, I tripped and fell towards him. Colliding with his chest.

My breathing stopped as I looked up into his green depths. I suddenly realized that he was half-naked, and I was dressed in just a robe.

"You look extremely hot and irresistible in a robe." He whispered in my ears.

"The way you say it, it sounds very erotic," I said, raising my eyebrows.

It was meant to be a sarcastic comment, but somehow with my breathless state, it did not come out that way. He gave a sly grin. 

"True, if only you would let me. I can show you how erotic I can be." He said silkily.

"I am sure you would," I said, rolling my eyes.

"However, you need your rest," I insisted, trying to stand up straight and get out of his grip.

Of course, he would not let that happen. He kept his hold on my left elbow, then with his other hand reached back and freed my hair from the slick ponytail which I had bound them in.

He watched with amusement as my dark waist-length curls tumbled down past my shoulders in soft, smooth waves. He wrapped his hands in the luxurious bounty of my hair and pulled me close for a scorching hot kiss. 

My lips parted immediately to welcome his tongue, inviting him to taste and be tasted. My hands moved on their own and rolled on his hard chest. He shivered when my fingers gently rubbed over his nipples, he growled against my lips.

A sudden cold draft on my breast made me realize that he had managed to part my robe and was gently caressing my breasts. Teasing and tweaking my nipples sent waves of pleasure down my spine. My nails bit into his back, pulling him closer.

I had no idea how long we had been making out, curses dropped like anchors from his lips when a knock sounded at the door. 

"Everyone's waiting for you, Alpha," Damon said with a mischievous twinkle in his eye as the door swung open. I nearly died of embarrassment and pulled my robes together.

Lucian helped me to my feet from the carpet floor we had been lying down? When did that happen?

" We need to leave now?" Lucian asked as he straightened his track pants, while I fixed my hair.

"Wait, are you going somewhere?" I asked, surprised.

"Yes, love, there is an Alpha meeting which I need to attend. Your brother will be there as well." He responded casually while walking towards the showers.

I gave a polite smile at Damon, trying not to blush under his knowing eyes.

"He hasn't slept well," I said, trying to strike some conversation.

"Alpha Lucian always puts the pack's welfare over his. He goes beyond himself to see that everyone is happy, safe, and well provided for. It takes a toll on him sometimes. Now that you are here, we are all hoping that you would be taking care of his needs and sharing some pack responsibilities. Being a lone Alpha is not easy." Damon said matter-of-factly. While I walloped myself in guilt. I was anything but a good mate. 

I did not deserve to be Lucian's mate. My wolf moaned in sorrow. Finally, Lucian was gone, and I was left alone to my devices.

"Alice! How are you? I was worried sick about you." Emma said from the other side when I called her.
