Don't Poke the Luna (Xena and Ryder) novel Chapter 121

Ryder’s POV

This was easier than I’d expected. I was just leaning against the window in my library, relaxing with Xena in my arms, when suddenly I felt a sharp pain shoot through my mark. My body reacted instantly, the pain transforming into pleasure, and I came in my shorts. In the afterglow of my orgasm, my hands gripped Xena tightly while she licked the mark she’d left on me.

This unexpected intimate invasion both irritated and captivated me hated the feeling of losing control.

“WHAT THE F*CK, Xena?” I breathed heavily. I pushed her off me, my shorts sticky with my release.

“I…” Xena was laughing so hard–tears streamed down her face.

A wave of embarrassment and annoyance washed over me.

I unlocked the door and walked straight out, heading directly to our bedroom to change clothes.

“R–ryder!” Xena entered the bedroom while I was cleaning myself in the bathroom.

I put on fresh boxers and shorts in the bathroom. I closed the bathroom door with a heavy thud. “What the fuck do you want?” I asked, still annoyed.

“I’m sorry, but I think you enjoyed it,” Xena leaned against the doorframe, raising an eyebrow at my underwear. “Besides, you promised me we’d spend the whole day together.”

“I did promise… but after that little stunt, let’s go work out,” I said.

“Work out? I can think of other ways to exercise.” Xena tried to grab me as I walked past her.

“No, I already came. I’m good.” I gave her a look as I opened the bedroom door.

“Fine, damn it.” Xena made a face and walked toward me. “I thought making you come would put you in a better mood, but apparently not.”

As she passed by me, I raised my hand and smacked her ass hard. “I’m in a great mood.”

“Ow!” Xena grabbed her ass and did a little spin. “That’s going to bruise!”

I wrapped my arm around her shoulders, pulling her along with me. “We’ve never worked out together before. This should be fun.”

“I have a feeling I’m going to hate you by the end of the day,” Xena gave me a look.

“Oh no, darling. By the end of today, you’ll be screaming my name loud enough for the whole pack to hear,” I promised as I opened the door to the gym.

The gym was crowded, the air thick with the sticky scent of sweat, and the fans in the corner were already whirring loudly.

“What are we working on today, My Luna?” I raised an eyebrow at Xena.

“Legs, for our happiness.” She gave me a wicked smile.

We walked to the squat rack, and she expertly adjusted the barbell height, then took off her shoes and placed two weight plates under her feet. She began warming up with light weights. After we both did three warm–up sets, she loaded 160 pounds on each side of the barbell.

I unbuckled my lifting belt and adjusted my breathing. “How much this time?”
