Page 217 of Moon's Promise

The erotic pull of his voice engulfed her again. This time, she wasn’t strong enough to fight. Instead, she willingly gave in to his erotic kiss.

One song blended into another as they swayed together. She was so oblivious to what was going on in the room, it wasn’t until Moon stopped dancing, sliding an arm over her shoulders and steering her to the staircase, that she came back down to earth.

“Where are—”

She forgot what she was about to say at Moon’s throaty growl as he nuzzled the curve of her neck.

This amorous Moon, she had never dealt with before. He had aroused her to the point that if he led her off a cliff, she would willingly jump. Having all Moon’s attention focused directly on her, as if his only goal was to get her in bed, was a heady emotion for a girl who had become used to being called a freak before she was six. As she grew older, the taunts and name-calling had gotten even worse. Boys her own age didn’t tend to be kind when their developing masculinity was threatened by a girl who was taking college level courses while they were just learning the basics of algebra. Lana and Priss, who had similar issues, had been her only friends. If not for them, she truly didn’t think she would have been able to bear the isolation she had gone through.

They had been there to let her cry on their shoulders when those she trusted betrayed her, and they were still constantly watching over her. Their sisterly bond had only strengthened with time.

“You owe me big time.”

“How?” Confused, she lifted her eyes to him. The carnal way he was looking at her made her reinstate going off the cliff with him.

“It was everything I could do not to fuck you with everyone watching.” Pausing only long enough to unlock his bedroom door, he then pulled her inside the darkened room. Not bothering to turn the light on, Moon shut the door with his foot, already turning her fully in his arms. “I deserve a big reward.”

“What do you want?” she whispered softly, willing to give him anything he asked for.

“You.”

Her head fell back weakly as his mouth covered hers. As she clutched his shoulders, all she could do was hold on when she was lifted off her feet. Reality slipped away as he pressed her onto the soft bed, covering her body with his.

“This time is going to be for you.” Parting her thighs, Moon slightly shifted his body weight until his mouth was blowing warm air on the crotch of her panties. “I’m going to be so good to you.”

Arching into his mouth when his tongue slid under her satin panties, she tried to smother the erotic cries that he was inciting by biting down on her hand.

His tongue transported her into another realm of desire, one she didn’t think she’d survive when she came back to earth.

“What is the big reward you wanted?” she managed to get out between shallow gasps, trying not to be distracted by what he was doing.

“I’m going to fuck you in ways you didn’t know you could be fucked, and you’re going to let me.”

Shifting out from under Moon’s arm, she scooted to the side of the mattress to slide out.

“Where are you going?”

She thought he was sleeping, so she nearly jumped out of her skin when he spoke.

“I’m trying to go to the bathroom,” she explained, waving her hand to the side, hoping to touch the lamp to turn a light on.

“What’s the hold-up?”

“I can’t find the lamp—”

Light filled the room before she could finish her sentence.

Looking in his direction, she saw he had turned the lamp on that was on the other nightstand.

“You good now?”

“Yes.” Glancing around, she spotted what she was looking for, almost obscured under a blanket that Moon must have thrown to the floor.

She gathered the dress and put it on before moving toward the door.

“Don’t leave the door open.” Moon’s mumble came from under the pillow he had put over his head.

She opened the door but almost closed it again at seeing The Three Musketeers having sex with Saffron at the same time across the hall. Averting her eyes, she hurried to the bathroom to relieve herself.
