The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story

Chapter 0300

I passed out from the intensity of the pleasure.

When I reawakened some time later, I was bundled up in Nicholas’s arms, resting against his chest. I was entirely surrounded with warmth, and contentment swirled within me. Never in my life had I felt so satisfied and safe.

Nicholas kissed the top of my head. “How are you?” He must have felt me rousing.

“I’m good,” I said with a soft sigh. “Great, even.”

He hummed. “I’m glad.” He sounded quite satisfied with himself. Honestly, he should.

I started to turn toward him. “You need to let me return the favor.”

His arms tightened around me, keeping me still. “Another time. This time was all about you.”

“But – ”

“Piper,” he said gently. “I’m fine. I promise.”

He was so reassuring, that I immediately relaxed. “Next time,” I said. “It’s about you.”

He kissed my cheek this time. “Whatever you want.”

We stayed together in his room until just before dawn, holding and dozing, and trading soft kisses. Then, after we dressed, Nicholas led me back toward my room. In the hallway just around the corner, where the guards couldn’t see, Nicholas pulled me into his arms again and soundly kissed me.

“Thank you for our night together,” I whispered.

He shook his head. “You don’t have to thank me.”

“I’m pretty sure I do.” I felt light all over. He had satisfied me so thoroughly. “I really, really

think that I do.”

He laughed a little, then kissed me again.

I said. I worried my bottom lip with my teeth. Maybe it wasn’t in fashion to wait to have
