I Am The Luna

Chapter 0390

VALERIE.

I’m pacing the bedroom floor wondering if I should have a word with Atticus before introducing him to Zade. After all, I don’t want him to say anything hurtful to him, but then… didn’t I say hurtful things to Zade earlier?

I have always been blunt and pretty harsh at times, to the point I struggle to keep my mouth shut, especially when I’m mad.

I watch as he finishes cleaning up the glass that broke earlier and my heart skips. a beat. He’s so caring, in his silent way, doing things without rubbing them in…. My stomach flutters, a surge of emotions dancing through me. Walking towards him, I stop beside him. “I’ll work on it,” I say, tugging at the sleeves of my top.

He glances up and cocks a brow?

“I would hope so… training starts tomorrow.

“Wait, what?” I ask, confused as he stands up and I have to remind myself not to check him out.

“What else are you going to work on? I thought it was pretty obvious you were talking about your lack of survival skills,” he remarks, making me pout with displeasure at his obvious mockery.

“I meant my attitude…” I mutter, looking away from him.

He’s watching me intently, but I’m not brave enough to look him in the eye. He takes hold of my elbows and I know I need to say it all properly.

“I do it when I’m overwhelmed. I have anxiety and when things get too much, 1 just need an outlet… I overreact… it’s something I’ve always done and I’m sorry that you’ve been on the receiving end more than once in such a short time…. and then just saying sorry after being a bitch isn’t-”

“Hey, I don’t want to hear you call yourself that again. If anyone is going to call you by a degrading title, it’s going to be me. Whilst I fuck you.” My core throbs, his deep, husky voice sending shivers of desire through me.

Fuck, why does he mess with my head like that?

My cheeks feel hot, and I toss my hair back from my face.

“Umm, ok, well… uh… what was I saying?” I say, feeling confused as I look up at him and trying not to feel all lightheaded from his words.
