The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story

Chapter 0384

Nicholas and I traded lazy kiss after lazy kiss until our backs ached and the sun crept above the tree line. We’d chased passion all night long, again and again. Despite my continuous begging, Nicholas never took me in the dirt. Though he’d given me pleasure in nearly every other way.

My body was pleasantly sore. I really needed a bath and a nap. Maybe a good meal.

The wild feeling, I supposed, was wearing off somewhat, and reality was returning.

“We should head back,” Nicholas said.

He was naked. I was too. Our clothes definitely went flying sometime in the night. We laughed as we went searching for them now.

“I found your panties,” he said and tossed them to me. I found my bra on a low- hanging tree branch. Nicholas pulled on his pants.

“Do you see my dress?” I asked.

He stopped moving. I went closer to him, and saw what he saw. My dress was a bloody mess, piled in a hump at the bottom of a tree trunk.

“Don’t put that back on,” he said.

“I can’t walk home naked.”

“Go back as a wolf, then.”

“I can’t,” I said. “Everyone thinks I don’t have a wolf. How would I possibly explain?”

“It doesn’t matter. You don’t have to explain. Let them think whatever they want.”

“It’s just a dress,” I said, and took a step toward it.

“Don’t,” Nicholas said and wrapped his arms around my waist. He pulled me back against him. He had on his pants but no shirt yet. My skin pleasantly tingled where our bare skin touched.

“Nick…”

“You almost died, Piper.” His voice was soft as a whisper, barely louder than the wind. “Please do not put that dress on. I can’t see you like that again.”

I wasn’t all that keen to see myself as a bloody mess again either. I imagined it might be worse for him. I tried to think what it would be like if our roles were switched: if he had nearly died, and I was now supposed to watch him change back into his
