I Am The Luna by Moonlight Muse Chapter 34

A Couple of Plans

ZAIA. “Zaia, is everything ok?” I look up at Mom from where I’m slicing the potatoes for the evening meal.

“Of course, why do you ask?” I smile. Mom looks concerned from where she’s braiding Sia’s hair at the kitchen table.

“You don’t cook unless you have a lot on your mind.” She says with a knowing look of understanding in her eyes.

I returned yesterday morning and although I filled her in on everything with Valerie; I refrained from telling her what went down between Sebastian and me.

I don’t know why, but I know how she would have disapproved of me spending the night with him, and that would only make me feel worse…

My heart clenches as I remember that morning….

(FLASHBACK)

My eyes flutter open and I find myself cocooned in warmth. I snuggle back against the hard wall of muscle behind me when I tense. Wall of muscle?

Sebastian!

I’m about to pull away when I realise that my head is on his arm, his hand clamped around my breast, his other arm firmly around my hips, holding me tightly against him…

He’s asleep, I can tell from his steady heartbeat…

“Sleep Foxie…” He murmurs, burying his face into my neck. “You smell good…”

He used to always hold me like this…

I don’t want to get up. For a fleeting moment, I want to enjoy the warmth and comfort that his embrace offers me…

Irritation at my weak resolve makes me glare at the wall, and I slowly free myself from his hold. I have to make sure I never get into this predicament ever again! I need to leave…
