Don't Poke the Luna

Chapter 137

Xena's POV

We had been sampling appetizers and main courses for what felt like hours, and no matter what I chose, Luna Kestrel just smiled and agreed. Even when I couldn't decide and wanted to select everything, she simply nodded with that graceful smile of hers.

Luna Kestrel jotted down all the dishes on a piece of paper. I couldn't help but notice her handwriting-fluid and elegant, just like her. "And finally, desserts!" she announced with enthusiasm.

"This is a chocolate pistachio dome. When you cut into it, there's German chocolate mousse inside with a brownie base and chocolate sauce. This is a passion fruit parfait with graham cracker bottom. This is a raspberry lemon tart. And finally, a blueberry lemon cake shooter."

Ryder cut into the chocolate dome and fed me a bite. The chocolate melted in my mouth, and I couldn't help but let out a moan of pleasure. For a moment, the entire world disappeared, leaving nothing but this exquisite flavor exploding across my senses.

"That's so good," I mumbled, my mouth full of chocolate.

"I think she heard enough of your moans last night. If you keep that up, I'll take you right here in front of her, Ryder said through our mind link.

I was in the middle of swallowing the chocolate and instantly choked. God, how could he say something like that in this setting? My face must have turned crimson, not just from choking but from the heat his bold suggestion sent rushing through my body.

"Oh my goodness! Are you alright?" Luna Kestrel asked with concern.

"I'm fine. Just went down the wrong way," I managed between coughs, mentally cursing Ryder for his inappropriate timing.
