Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 94

Sebastian

My eyes darkened as I gazed at her sleeping form.

The memory of that kiss in the early morning hours haunted me-her lips, softer than rose petals and sweeter than strawberry cake:

One taste and I knew I’d be addicted.

I shouldn’t be staring.

But I couldn’t help myself as I lingered there, bent over her sleeping form.

The faint scent of honeydew still clung to her breath, mingling with her natural scent that had been driving my wolf crazy for weeks.

[Nust one taste,]Soren growled within me. [She’ll never know.]

My fingers tightened on the armrest beside her seat as I fought against the primal urge.

This wasn’t right.

Not while she was unconscious, unaware.

But fuck, how I wanted to.

I leaned closer, my lips nearly touching hers before I stopped myself.

Time and air seemed to stand still around us.

Back and forth the battle raged inside me.

After what felt like eternity, I sighed softly and withdrew, returning to my seat. I loosened my tie with one hand and drained a large glass of ice water, trying to cool the fire in my veins.

Cecilia

My heart had been pounding wildly for a good ten minutes, the aftershocks still reverberating through my chest.

It felt like everything in my body had gone weightless except for my thundering heart.

1 was simultaneously exhausted and wide awake.

Mentally, I was cursing him.

The man had endless patience for his internal debate, but did he ever consider there was a living, breathing person beneath him?

Did it occur to him I might wake up? I wasn’t Sleeping Beauty, destined to awaken only from his kiss!

I’d been tempted to open my eyes and force him to make a decision.

Talk about torture!

Now that my heart rate had settled, anxiety crept in again.

Could someone please tell me how many days it would take for that aphrodisiac to completely leave his system?

The plane landed in Denver.

I pretended to be just waking up. Please ignore my tiredness, and slightly numb expression.

Alpha Sebastian glanced at me. “Did you sleep well?”

I smoothed my hair with my hands. Im sorry, was just so tired. You didn’t try to wake me up, did you? I’m practically impossible to wake once I’m out-l can steep through thunderstorms.”

Something dark flickered briefly in his eyes before he stood. “Now that you’re awake, let’s go.”

He left his seat.

I rose slowly, feeling sweaty and slightly weak after being wrapped in the blanket for so Long.

The flight attendant brought our luggage down and handed it to Liam, who had come to meet us.

Once in the car, Liam smiled and asked, “How did everything go these past couple days?” I returned a somewhat complicated smile. “It was… mostly smooth, I suppose.”

Liam, “That’s good to hear.”

1 glanced in the rear view mirror.

Alpha Sebastian sat in the back with his arms crossed, eyes closed, his expression unreadable.

I breathed a small sigh of relief.

When we reached the apartment complex, we walked from the garage toward the entrance.

Just before the security door, a tall figure suddenly appeared.

I swear, I’d experienced more jump scares in the past two days than in any haunted house.

“Finally! You’re back!” Harper exclaimed, clutching her phone, looking frantic.

She acknowledged Alpha Sebastian and Liam with a quick greeting.

I pressed a hand to my racing heart. “Why wait out here? You could have waited inside.”

“I’ve been waiting half the evening. Didn’t you say you’d be home by seven?” Harper grabbed my luggage and linked her arm through mine. “Come on, I need to tell you something.”

“What is it?”

“IIl tell you inside.”
