My tortured Luna

Chapter16

Sages POV

It's been a few days since Amara was captured and she's still not talking. Valens and Jayden is going at her like maniacs but she doesn't budge. Valens has trashed his office multiple times. Our ceremony has been pushed to tonight and I've tried to convince him to postpone it all together but he won't. He wants his mark on my neck, now.

The sun is shining in my face and Valens' light snoring has kept me awake for an hour now. I turn my face to him and look at his bare chest. I trace my fingers over his chest, touching his hot skin. I look at his marking spot. I dreamed of him tonight. Like all other nights since Jasons attack. A sudden urge to lick him invades my mind and before I can stop myself, I run my tongue over his marking spot.

He groans and I turn my back to him again. 'Why did you stop?' Sia is whining in my mind. I feel embarrassed by my sudden action. Something has changed between us since Jason attacked me. He wants me to be near, my scent calms him the second he sees me.

I feel his fingers on my hip and I turn my face to him.

"Sleep well?" He yawns and pulls me closer.

"Yes." I nod but fell my cheeks burn.

"Did you dream of something?" I shake my head but he already knows.

“Okay, are you feeling okay? You look a little warm?” He touch my forehead and furrow his brows together.

“Yes, I feel fine.” I say with a smile and he nods. He kiss my lips with a gentle touch before he rises from the bed.

“I’m taking a shower, care to join me?” He ask with a smirk. I blush but shake my head. He gives me a smile before he walks into the bathroom. I look up in the ceiling. I hear the shower running and a warm feeling settles between my legs. He’s in there, naked and hot.

I rise from the bed and walk towards the bathroom. I open the door slowly and walk in. The bathroom is already covered in steam from the hot water. He’s standing with his back to me. His muscles flex with ever move. Surprisingly enough, he still haven’t noticed me.

I walk closer to him but stop when he throws his head back with a deep growl. The sound makes me blush and I feel a strange knot in my abdomen. I take a step to my left and my eyes widens. His hand is stroking his very erect member in his hand. I turn to leave but I knock over a table and the growling stops.

“f**k Sage!” He growls and I spin around my eyes closed, backing slowly away.

“I’m so so-sorry, Valens. I didn’t.. I shouldn’t..” I can’t find the right words, so I keep backing away with my eyes closed.

“Stop.” An order. My body listens, but all I want to do is run away and never speak of this again. My cheeks are hot from embarrassment but not because he was touching himself. I’m embarrassed because I want to touch him like that and make him sound like that.

“Oh no..” did I just think that?

“Yes you did.” His voice sounding way too close. I open my eyes and look straight into his massive chest.

“Look at me.” He says. I don’t want to. A finger touch my chin in a gentle way and lift my gaze up to his cobalt orbs.

“What were you doing in here?” A gentle smile forms on his handsome face.

“I - I don’t know. I think I wanted to join you after all but now..” My voice trails off. His delicious scent and the smell of his arousal makes my head spin.

“I’m sorry you had to see.. well that. Your body makes it difficult for me to be around without a painful erection, so I take a shower to relief myself.” I cringe at his words but I know what he means.

“Why haven’t you mated with me yet?” The words is out of my mouth before I can stop them and I blush. His brows shoot up in surprise.

“I already told you. The tradition says that..”

“I know. But you said that involved the marking. You didn’t say anything about mating with me.” He takes a deep breath.

“My wolf is a resentful beast, Sage. I need my mark on your neck before I can allow myself to lose control with you. You need a good experience and I’m trying to be a gentleman here.” His voice is hoarse. His wolf is a beast? I haven’t seen that yet.

“So you won’t mate with me tonight after the binding ceremony?” A strange feeling settles in me. Do I want him too? I only know pain when it comes to s*x. That makes him growl.

“I won’t mate with you unless you ask me. And I mean in words, out loud and not in your mind.” He growls and push me closer. He kiss my lips in hunger but pulls away too soon.

“Let it be night soon so my mark can get on your neck, little one.” He hugs me and I close my eyes. Yes, let it be night soon.
