The Perfect Luna by Marissa Gilbert

Chapter 19. Unexpected Passion

Her first instinct was to push him away. But his tongue on her flesh felt so good that she

couldn’t bring herself to actually do it.

And it did feel better. So… it could only be wise to consider it as a treatment. Like when you go to a doctor. Yes, this was the best way to look at it. Gideon was her doctor. A tall, insanely handsome, ridiculously hot doctor who was now sucking on her most sensitive spot, while the fingers of one of his hands dug into her waist and the ones on the other were tugging her hair to give him better access.

She tried to push him away. But not really. Riannon’s mind was elsewhere because of all the sensations that the Lycan king was bringing her with his… treatment.

It was hard to breathe, and she bit her lip almost to the point of bleeding when a moan escaped her. This, in turn, made Gideon lose the tiny bit of control he had left. Touching her like that was all he wanted just a minute ago. But now that he was intoxicated with her scent and

closeness, it was suddenly not enough. He wanted more. To take her, to claim her, to take her

away and bring her where she really belonged.

Not here. His house.

Mars was howling and growling in his head. The damn wolf was even crazier than he initially thought.

And when her hand went up to his chest and touched the bare skin on his own neck, he almost lost it, not even realising anymore what he was doing to her.

Riannon could swear that between all the sucking and licking she felt his sharp canines grazing over her skin. A wave of shock went through her body yet she still did not push him away, not even knowing why. However, in just a few seconds his tongue returned to work, and she forgot about all that.

Healing came first.

Just then the door swung open, and Maya froze at the entrance with several huge present boxes in her hands, making Riannon finally return to her senses and push Gideon away to his displeasure. The lycan king grunted and for a second there his eyes shone golden light indicating that his wolf was almost in control. But he furrowed his eyebrows and closed his eyes, rubbing the bridge of his nose, and Ria just knew that she had nothing to worry about.

Except for her best friend grinning at her and her brother poking out from behind her

back.

“My, my!” the Beta girl snickered as she barged in, jabbing her sibling; “Close the door,

The guy followed his sister’s orders and Riannon sighed. He was one of those who were hard to see in her new life. Back in the past, after Maya was killed, he changed a lot. The nice 20-year-old boy with freckles was gone. Replaced by a person she wasn’t sure she even knew
