CHAPTER ONE: HIS NAME ON HER SKIN
The city was silent in a way only midnight allowed…soft rain streaking down the windows, traffic below reduced to a distant hum from the hotel they lodged for their meeting, which was the next day. Elena stood barefoot on the cold marble floor, her arms crossed one over the other, on her robe, which was now wrapped around her like a perfect fit.
Behind her, she heard the soft rustle of movement. She didn’t have to look.
Kael.
"You should be asleep," she said, barely above a whisper.
"So should you." His voice was deeper at night. Rougher. The kind that made her chest ache and her knees forget how to work.
He stopped behind her, close enough for his heat to find her back. But he didn’t touch her…he never touched without permission, not anymore. Not since the last time she walked away.
"I couldn’t," she said, finally. "Too much in my head."
"And in your heart?"
That made her turn. His eyes locked onto hers, unreadable but burning with something he never said out loud. Her fingers let the robe’s knot free, exposing her perfectly curved body.
He gulped…Still, he didn’t touch.
"You’re shaking," he said.
"I’m not cold." She said in the sweetest voice she could muster
Kael took one step forward, then another, until there was nothing left between them but air. And even that started to disappear when she exhaled and let her head rest lightly against his chest and he felt her softness.
"I missed this," he whispered, one hand finally rising to her waist. Not possessive…remembering
Remembering her ever-soothing touch, and how she ran away from being his Luna.
And now, fate brought them back together…as his secretary.
She didn’t answer. She just slid her arms around him like a habit she’d tried to break too many times…aware of the effect she had on him. His lips brushed her forehead, then her cheek, then lower, like he was asking her with every touch: Can I still have this? Can I still have you?
Her mouth found his without hesitation.
It wasn’t the kiss of strangers. It wasn’t the kiss of lovers, either. It was something in between, something bruised and hungry. Her fingers slid into his hair, and for the first time in years, Kael let himself fall, backwards onto the couch, pulling her with him.
No more words. Just breath, heat, skin.
They undressed each other slowly, not for the thrill but for the ache of it. She traced the scar under his ribs. He kissed the hollow of her collarbone. They remembered each other like a prayer they hadn’t said in years.
He wrapped her up in his arms, then slowly dropped her on the king-sized bed of her hotel room.
He studies her with smiles
“Why are you staring?” She said with flushed cheeks, as she felt his eyes sweep over her body.
He goes in-between her legs, positioning himself on his knees.
He kisses her hungrily as his hands explore her every curve
“K-Kael…” she moaned uncontrollably, pulling his body to herself.
He pauses to stare at her again…with a smirk on his face. He knew how much effect he had on her.
He then switches attention to her twin peaches, kissing one and playing with the other. Not letting any feel lonely as her nails dug into his back with moans escaping her lips.
“Ohhh Kael…shit” she cursed biting her lower lip in pleasure
He then increases his speed on them both
Then kisses her belly going downward…
“Kael…!!!” She yelled when his mouth found her lower lips
“You're already wet, my love”, he said teasingly as her cheeks were already flushed red with her heavy breathing.
He slipped his fingers slowly into her while locking eyes
Immediately her eyes found her brain, and she was lost in her beautiful world
“Faster Kael…faster!!!” She begged hungrily making him smirk
He immediately ate her up with hunger and speed. He tongue play tag with her, while he paid attention to how she responded.
She was almost there, almost at the peak.
He heard her moans while she pulled his hair, he knew she was almost there…then he increased his speed
…And without much time, she released her juices
“Ahhh…” she left a soft moan while her legs mistakenly brushed on the hardness between his thighs, the bulge she couldn't ignore.
“Say HI to him Elena” he said playfully as she gasped at his length
“Don't worry, he doesn't bite”, he said as he stroked it seductively, smiling at her panting body, glistening from their heat.
“Ka-” she broke off, just as a knock was heard on the door.
“Room Service!!! I have your order” a female voice echoed behind the door
“s**t” Kael cursed as he ran to get his pants to hide while Elena grabbed her robe to attend to her.
“Thank you.” She responded after taking the food she ordered for her dinner, then she proceeded to drop it on her mini table at the bedside.
“Oh…” she said as a shiver ran down her spine as his warmth enveloped her from behind.
“I'll see you later, my love, enjoy your meal”, he whispered behind her ear before vanishing.
But part of her wondered: Was this love again… or just the calm before another storm?
