Chasing His Kickass Luna Back novel Chapter 332

Abby

It’s well past two in the morning by the time I unlock the front door to my apartment. My feet are so sore that all I can think about is collapsing onto the couch, but I also smell like a kitchen and there’s a solid layer of sweat coating my entire body, so the shower comes first.

I quickly shed my chef’s uniform and turn on the hot water. While the bathroom fills with steam, I comb out my tangled hair and allow myself a few moments to just breathe.

The Alpha gathering was a success; a huge success. And although my parting with Karl was bittersweet, I feel like a new door has opened on the next chapter of my life.

With a satisfied smile, I climb into the shower and let the hot water cascade over me. I spend a long time just scrubbing, washing away the grime from cooking all night. By the time I’m finished, I feel as though I’ve just shed a whole layer of skin, and I step out of the shower feeling like a new woman.

After drying, I wrap my hair in a towel and grab my plush robe. I wrap it around myself, reveling in the warmth and comfort, and then get to work with my various lotions, ointments, and perfumes.

But I’m just finishing up brushing my teeth when I hear my doorbell ring.

Instantly, the nerves in my body coil. It’s well past two in the morning now; who the hell could be visiting now?

As I’m hesitating, the doorbell goes off again. I tentatively make my way out to the foyer, my heart in my throat. Is it one of my staff, maybe? A neighbor?

But then, as I peek through the peephole, my heart nearly stops. It’s not either of those things.

It’s Karl.

I quickly unlock the door and swing it open. Karl looks somewhat disheveled, his hair windswept and his expression conflicted. He’s still wearing his tuxedo from earlier, although his tie is loosened and his jacket is missing.
