Page 43 of Moonlit Choosing Ritual

I stared at Talon. He was extremely serious. Swallowing the lump forming in my throat, I got up and walked to the bathroom,knowing full well he was watching me from behind. Holding the knob of the door, I said, “If you dare touch me again, I’ll cut your cock off!” I showed him the middle finger and slammed the door shut.

His deep, throaty laugh was my answer. I knew my threat meant nothing to Talon. And why was I so hot? It was as if my body was on fire. I stepped into the shower and turned the temperature right down. The blast of cold water made me gasp, but it was what I wanted. As the water sluiced down my body, my anger subsided and I felt better. Though I wanted to weigh my options about what to do now, I couldn’t. The only thing in my mind was that I was the Luna of the biggest pack in North America. But more jarring was that I’d cultivated many enemies overnight.

I heard the sound of running water outside and turned off the shower. Shocked, I peeped through the glass and saw Talon peeing. “God damn it!” I shouted. “There’s no privacy here!”

He said nothing, patiently peed, and sauntered over to me with his cock bouncing in front of him. Man that cock and those balls. My face heated when a crude image entered my mind of sucking and milking it.

“Did you like it?” his voice broke into my thoughts.

Gasping, I turned the shower back on. I needed more cold water.

Talon came to stand behind me. He didn’t touch me, but his presence was enough to make me squirm. The heat from his body enveloped me, settling in my lower belly. Unable to control my stupid scattered emotions, I hurried out of the shower, snatched a towel from the towel stand, and walked out of the bathroom, still dripping. I pressed the towel to my chest as I took deep breaths to calm down.

I got dressed quickly in shorts and shirt, and rushed downstairs to have breakfast because I was ravenous.

“Luna Kimble!” A maid bowed to me immediately. “I’m Dana. What would you like for breakfast?” she asked, sounding flustered. Everyone else in the dining hall also bowed.

These were the people who shunned and mocked me when they thought I was a servant bought by Talon. The change in their demeanor was astounding. “Orange juice,” I said, walking to the dining table. An assortment of fruits was displayed on a tray. I picked up an apple and took a bite, but it reminded me of my dream and I gasped.

“I see you like apples a lot,” Talon’s voice sounded from the doorway.

I snapped my head up to see he was wearing only jeans. His upper body was naked. My mouth dropped open and he smirked when my gaze landed on the bruised area around his nipple. “Where’s your—”

“Alpha Talon!” Dana was joined by several other servants. She flushed when she saw Talon practically naked. Her eyes went to his chest. Sharp jealousy stabbed me and I blushed to the roots of my hair. “We’ve made fresh blueberry muffins. Would you like some? There are fresh sausages as well.”

Talon disregarded her as he proudly walked over to me. Holding my wrist, he raised my hand to his mouth and bit into the apple. Then he curled his finger beneath my chin and closed my mouth saying, “It’s midge season, love.”

I hissed, “Where’s your shirt?”

“Don’t you like me naked, wife?” he said with another smirk.

“When did I say that?”

He circled the table and sat at the head. “You said that in the bedroom.” He sat on the chair, proudly broadening his chest as if to show off my bite.

“What the hell?”

Before I could say anything, he pointed at the chair on his right. “That’s your seat. Come over.”

From the corner of my eye, I saw Kenzie arriving with surprise written all over his face. “You look… happy,” he remarked to Talon, sitting in the chair to his left.

“Do I?” he said, turning his chest toward him.

Kenzie’s eyes went straight to his nipple, and I let out a frustrated sigh. Talon was behaving like a caveman, and I didn’t know how to tame him. I stomped to the chair on his right and, just as I was about to sit, he grabbed me by my waist and yanked me to him. I fell right in his lap.

“Talon!” I shouted.

“This is where you’ll sit for breakfast today,” he said, and inhaled my scent by dipping his head in the crook of my neck.

Kenzie laughed and shook his head but didn’t say anything. I shot a glare at him. “You sedated me!”

He shrugged. “Alpha’s orders. If we hadn’t sedated you, his venom would have affected you.”

“So you were part of this ploy?” I took a ferocious bite into a tuna sandwich Talon had given me.

“Guilty as charged.”

“It’s illegal to kidnap people like this,” I pointed out.
