The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups by Jane Above Story

Chapter 58- Going Home

Jane

As my lashes flutter open, I struggle to place my sur roundings. I’m lying on the cold, hard ground but my body is cushioned on all sides by warm, soft fur. Ethan’s scent en velopes me like a security blanket; familiar, irresistible and only too cozy.

He purrs as | stir, his powerful muscles constricting around me as if trying to hold me closer. My mind grapples for memories of last night, trying to figure out how we ended up here. After a moment everything comes rushing back to me, and I’m instantly glad I’m in wolf form or I would be blush ing scarlet.

I can’t believe I let Ethan get the better of me that way. I can’t believe how shamelessly I flirted with him – my Goddess, I practically did a strip tease. What on earth was I thinking? My wolf is practically glowing with happiness to be wrapped up in his proverbial arms, but all this incident has shown me is how weak my will is, even after all this time. There is no way I can possibly move in with him – if I lose this much control over a little balloon accident, what’s going to happen when | have one too many glasses of wine, or when I feel a little bit too lonely late at night?

Hesitantly rousing myself, I manage to shake off Ethan’s big limbs and shift back into my human form. The next thing! know the warm fur at my back disappears, and a pair of mus cular arms circle my body. “Good morning, beautiful.” Ethan murmurs in my ear, kissing my shoulder.

OB “Oh no you don’t.” | snap over my shoulder, pushing him

off, and searching for my discarded clothes. “There’s not go ing to be any of that.”

“You can’t blame me for trying.” He chuckles.

“Oh yes I absolutely can.” I grumble, glancing at my ex husband and instantly regretting it. He’s standing behind me completely naked, every inch of his bronze skin on display, muscles rippling as he stretches and yawns. Unable to stop myself, I let my eyes wander down below his waist, and now I really am bright red.

Though I will never admit it, I’ve fantasized about having Ethan back in my bed many times over the years. Whatever happened between us, there’s no denying how talented he is in the bedroom. Still, I thought my memory was tricking me into imagining his… lets say skills… were more prodigious than they truly were in reality. However the evidence is currently staring me in the face, and if anything I think my memory un dersold him.

“You like what you see?” Ethan’s deep voice reaches my ears, and if it’s possible I feel my flush spread.

“No,” I lie stubbornly, turning away and pulling on my panties. “You’ve really let yourself go, Ethan.”

“Mhmm.” He chuckles, prowling forward until he’s stand ing so close behind me that I can feel the heat pouring off his body in waves. “Is that why I can smell your ar-”

“Hey!” I object, clutching my shirt over my bare breasts and pivoting to poke him in the chest. “Gentlemen do not point out that kind of thing.”

I’m not a gentleman.”
