CURSED MOON: THE LUNA’S FATE

4

With fingers soft as feathers I had touched him,my heart pace racing to suit the moment, that was about to set both our souls passionately ablaze.

Ethan reaction was slow but definate, I wouldn't deny the butterflies flapping around my bosom at that moment.

Fluttering his eyelids his eyes opens, staring me deep was his flaming passion filling me up like a never ending oasis-

“You-" I attempted to speak but he stole the words from my lips with a kiss.

I kissed him with the same intensity as we both robbed each other passionately of air, soon we were doing more than kissing.

Soon the air was filled with my moans as he thrust into me slowly at first, till I could feel myself romping up to meet with each of his thrust in this passionate intimacy.

“Ethan…” His name fades away into the air till infinity.

It was a moment, I didn't want to stop— one that I wouldn't mind if it lasted forever.

He gave a throaty grunt and I dug my nails into his back as I came hard, it was painful at once but I could that glint in his eyes as he pressed his face into my neck, with that one bite that made me his.

“Et-han!"

*******

I woke up beside him staring blankly at the ceiling. It was in the middle of the night .The deed was done. We were mated. It didn’t matter that it happened so quick, or the fact that I still questioned if I had any love for him, the fact was that it happened and it appeared like the right thing at that moment.

As it was, it occurred to me that whatever alliances from this union were more important than feelings, or I had been told so, whatever.

That truth was like a comfort right now to me as I could feel my heart break within .

In my mind, there was this question that I couldn't readily get rid of no matter how much I tried.

I pushed the dark thought out of my heart as I listened to the heartbeats of my new found mate -

I listened to his soft breath that came out in rasps, he stirred and I sensed him rolling over, Instinctively I looked over to where he was and met with his amber eyes staring back at me.

I was rather flushed, shy as I made no move to look at him further than I already did and instead tried to steady my breathing. It was no use after all .

As I inhaled, It was easy to sense that tension in my breath as it quivered betraying whatever emotional state I was in.

“Good morning." Was all I could mutter though I could have sworn that my heart beat tried betraying me .

The covers rustled beside where I was and then unexpectedly I felt his finger move across my face catching the flickers of emotions that might had been developing in just one graze.

“Good morning, Cam.” Ethan voice was deep yet gentle, and the way he opted for the short form of my name … Gosh!

“Hope you had a great night?"He questioned with a smirk I thought was naughty.

“It was fine.” I answered quietly, still staring at the ceiling and not him, it was the only words I could make out without lying.

Why he was speaking so calmly, I was unsure of as presently the situation was as beyond his control as it was with myself.

I swallowed hard, aware of the fact that I needed to pick my next choice of words carefully.

“Are you fine?" I asked, then felt silly asking at the same time.

“You don't have to be scared of me you know?” he muttered, sighing heavily.

His arm slipped around my waist as he drew me closer to himself, I could feel his heart race as I let my cheek rest against his muscular chest, too spent to protest.

It was like music, the sound of his steady heartbeat that was faintly comforting.

He spoke with ease, I could feel his words drifting into my soul.

“I wish I could have given us more time to know each other first, but sorry that wouldn't be the case.”

Unsure of what to say I nodded, in my mind agreeing even though my heart wanted something different.

He smirked, perhaps in his conquest over that tender organ that pumped life right through me.

“It is all fine." I found myself whispering.

****

It all felt like a dream, i watched as he got away from the bed side and soon all I could feel was that dent in the pillow beside me where he had once been.

The Sunlight shimmering into the room glittered over where we had been lain intimate the previous night.

In a way, the covers was rumpled confirming the previous night hadn’t been a dream. It was all reality and the fact was that we were mated

despite the fact there was no love between us, perhaps.

I had thought about how the previous night was going to be for so long.

As it was, it was different from the picture I had at the back of my mind -

I wonder to myself if the reason was because it was with this man Ethan, would it had been the case if it was with another?

Perhaps, it would have been a perfect blood-bond, with biting each other’s necks to mark the fact that we actually belonged together.

Most definitely It would have been with that forged mental connection that would grow

throughout our lifetime.

With Ethan none of this spark had been there, he had made no move to do this and was just concerned with making me his and in a way I was unaccountably miffed by the fact.

With a soft sigh she raised her head and looked around. There was no sign of him, and the room had that feel to it that he had been away for a while.

I had listened carefully, wondering if he was in the next room. All was silent and I wondered where he could be at that moment.

Well, at least I was relishing the fact that I wouldn't have to face him right away, though in some ways it had happened the past midnight.

Rolling out of bed I made my way across to the bathroom, my feet silent on the cold tiles and my heart still beating from the fact that he could pop in any moment.

The previous night I had been so tensed enough that I couldn't take in my surroundings, but now as I stared out of the window, I had looked around with interest.

The environs felt natural , from the wood and modern furnishings to the splashes of colour found on the walls and cushions; it was simple but pleasantly welcoming at the same time.

I had peeped into the bathroom—while small,

It contained all the needed amenities and I made use of them then dressed in pants and his previous night tshirt.

When I walked finally, I still wasn’t sure what the day would hold and was musing about the fact when the door opened and Ethan entered the room.

“Good morning.” he smiles.

I glanced at him, then looked away feeling awkward in his presence, last night came flashing through my mind.
