I Am The Luna

“Baby, what is it?” she asks softly.

“Nothing, relax. Why are you so worried?” I ask, reaching up and brushing the wet locks of her hair back. She’s wearing the shirt I had discarded not long ago.

Her eyes flutter shut as I run my fingers down her neck. Her face is make–up–free,

and she looks breathtaking. She’s a beauty…

I caress her cheeks, admiring her dusting of freckles.

She opens her eyes, and they are glistening with tears.

“I don’t know… I’m scared.” She whispers, her voice shaky. “You’re scaring me.”

She looks into my eyes, and I wonder if deep down she knows…

“I don’t mean to,” I reply quietly, clenching my jaw as I try to push away my emotions

that are threatening to drown me.

“We’re going to get through this, all of this. Together. We are going to find Gerard, and we are going to defeat the Sable. Together,” she reassures me, but I wonder if

she’s reassuring herself as well.

Together…

“Promise me,” she whispers, an underlying urgency in her tone.

I cup her face, unable to reply to her.

How many more lies will I tell her? How many promises will I break? Our hearts are thumping violently before I claim her lips in a deep, passionate kiss, sending rivets

of pleasure through us.”

One fuelled by a thousand emotions that are stronger than the most powerful of

storms.

She whimpers softly against my lips, kissing me back with equal intensity as her eyes flutter shut.

I’m sorry.

I cup the back of her neck as I kiss her harder, never wanting to let her go.

You deserved better.

I nibble on her soft plush lip, cherishing the taste of her lips, the sweetness of her

mouth.

I love you and I always will.

My love for you will never change…

I tighten my arms around her, and she grips onto me equally hard. Our bodies are moulded together as if made for one another.

We were… but destiny has its own plans…

You are the fucking rhythm that my heart beats to…

I caress her back, gripping the back of her neck and hair as I kiss her like it’s for the

last time and I know it is…

This is it… our final goodbye….

We break apart when she gasps for air and I’m breathing heavily, too.

“Get some rest… it’s going to be a long day tomorrow.” I say quietly, brushing my

thumb over her plump lips.

She nods. “I need to go to Dad’s Pack, too.”

I nod, “And I plan to leave extremely early. There are a few things that I want to check with the security around the grounds.”

She smiles slightly, my words somehow comforting her.

“Great, sounds like a plan.”

“Yeah. Make sure you’re careful when you get to your dad’s pack. Trust nothing and

no one.”

“Got it… So, are you leaving really early? I’m going to head out early, too.” She asks as

we settle down beside one another. I slip my arm under her head, and she snuggles against me.

“Yeah, I’ll cover more ground.”

To put more distance between us….

“Well, it is going to be a manic day, but let’s do something tomorrow night, even if it’s just a barbeque in the garden. The children will enjoy it too.”

“Sounds good.”

I wrap my arms around her tightly, burying my head into her neck. Kissing her there

tenderly.

I’m fucking sorry…

I wait for her to fall asleep, which doesn’t take her long. She’s exhausted from the

long night.

I should go… but I can’t bring myself to move as I hold her, watching her sleep.

She’s content… despite the exhaustion. There’s a small, graceful smile on her

beautiful face.

I simply lay there, gazing at the angel in my arms until I know I can’t afford to take

any more time.

Taking a deep breath, I frown as I slowly ease her off my arm. My gaze lingers over

the curve of her breasts and her tiny waist.

I run my hand down her waist and hip, caressing her thigh as I plant a soft kiss on

her lips before I turn away and get out of bed, pulling the blanket up around her…

Now there is only one thing left to do before I leave… NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

I glance out of the window up at the full moon, my eyes blazing steely silver before I

turn and head to the door, forcing myself not to look back.

Because I know if I do… I won’t be able to leave…

I’m sorry.
