The Perfect Luna by Marissa Gilbert

Chapter 21. The First Time

Riannon couldn’t believe what he was doing. Didn’t he get that they weren’t in the right

place right now? How did he see them having s*x now?

Surely, he had to be aware that he hurt her with his actions. He did not know that she already lived a whole other life and fell out of love with him. But he had to have some idea about human feelings. And he brought his future mistress home just one week ago.

“Ri… You look so beautiful today, babe,” He lowered himself to try and capture her lips, but she dodged it. She couldn’t risk it too much because she did not need him suspicious at this moment in time. However, sleeping with him was absolutely out of the question.

“I am not exactly in the mood, Brayden,” she averted his lustful gaze and heard him sigh

excessively.

“I know,” he said with a bit of regret in his voice, “and I know that it’s all my fault. But I meant what I said, I will find a way to make it up to you. Just tell me what you want, even if it is a completely new packhouse. Or the biggest diamond in the world. Or…”

He was contemplating what things he could buy her while she wanted to laugh. Could he buy her some dignity that she lost because of him? Or some magical painkillers that could ease the pain in her heart which was caused but his actions.

But even if he could, it was too late for that now. She did not need any of those anymore. She was fine on her own.

His hands started travelling up her thighs, giving them a light squeeze as he tried to part

them while digging his head in the crook of her neck, peppering it with kisses.

She found it… repulsive. Back in the day, she would be melting in his arms, happy at their sudden closeness. When Roxy was still new in the pack, she believed that it was just temporary and they would be able to overcome this. So, when he was sleeping with her, just the way they both enjoyed, she was on cloud nine.

This was not the case anymore. All that she was thinking of now was how to get out of

this situation.

“I miss you, Ri,” he whispered, trying to seduce her into giving in. And then he froze. Something was not right there. She pushed him away, realising quickly what was the problem.

Gideon was… healing her right there before. A werewolf couldn’t miss that. “You reek of that lycan!” Brayden said angrily. “And you reek of your mate,” she said the first thing that came to her mind and it came

out wrong.

your business is all about?” he threw accusations at her one by one.

“Of course, not!” she tried to look appalled even though he was absolutely right. “Then why do you smell like him?!” the Alpha demanded.

“Because my mark was inflamed, and he checked it!” she decided to go with partial truth. After all, Gideon could confirm it for her, “Lycans have the strongest scents. And I bet their king is even worse than that. So, that’s why it stayed on me.”

Seconds seemed like years as she waited for her husband to respond, to make his decision.

“I am sorry, Ri,” he said after a while and moved closer to her again, “Let’s pick up where we left off.”

“Let’s not!” she quickly jumped off the table, “The mood is gone anyway, and I still have a

lot of work to do. And I bet so do you.”

“The most important thing that I have to do is my wife,” he growled. He was not used to refusals. Riannon always wanted him. Their passion was never dying down and this was
