Their Secret Obsession by Pippa Moon

Chapter 33: Holding Back!

I watched silently in the mirror as my Luna, whom I had grown up attending to and adoring, stood behind me, pinning my hair off my n*eck in a beautiful bun. She had left a few strands of icy white hair to frame my face, but she was adamant my hair was to be off my n*eck. And I wasn’t a fool; I understood why.
