His Reluctant Luna novel Chapter 78

Lucian had a thing for large bathrooms. Hence, our bathroom was huge with pedestal sinks and fancy looking faucets on one side.

A bidet, a toilet and an enclosed shower stood on the other corner. In the centre stood a sizeable luxury whirlpool tub, with white marble floors that gleamed dully in the dim light. The tiled walls were pure white and edged with accents of blue. A low mahogany bench held white fluffy looking towels across the room, while potted plants were placed strategically to further enhance the spa-like atmosphere.

However, what surprised me though was the rows of candles lighted around the room, scattering of rose petals in the tub, and scented oil in the water?

I was so shocked, I didn't notice Lucian standing near the tub with a satisfied smile.

"What is all this?" I asked, taking in the ambience.

"This is your bath, my dear," Lucian grinned at me.

"A shower would have been fine, but....this is not too bad." I walked around the tub, surveying his handiwork. When did he do all this?

The gently steaming, fragrant water looked so inviting that I wanted to soak right in.

"So, what's the occasion? What did I do to deserve such pampering ?" I turned my head and teasingly asked.

He softly growled as if in reprimand and replied, "What gives you the idea that you need to do something to get pampered?"

"Where did you get the candles and the rose petals? Not that I do not appreciate the gesture, but, you have never done this before."

"What can I say," he smiled, "you bring out the romantic in me."?

I scoffed. "You're so full of crap!"

Lucian lost his smile and frowned.

"I know you are pissed off. I was rather rude. I just wanted to apologize for my behaviour. I can't see you hurt, and I don't like fighting with you."

I wasn't expecting an apology, and I was taken aback when it happened.

"It wasn't your fault. I should not have defied your decision. Even though I disagree with it. Will you forgive me?"

He smiled and took my hands. He gently lifted each to his lips and tenderly kissed the knuckles. Once he was done, he turned my hands over and kissed lingeringly in the centre while looking at me with his gorgeous green eyes. He then entwined our fingers together.

"Please don't fight with me," he whispered.

I was already melting, that's the thing with mate bonds. It's hard to stay angry with your mate. Lana, my wolf, was already pissed off. Now, she was taking over.

I growled and grabbed his face, pulling him down to kiss him. Holding his nape I sucked on his lower lips.

The kiss was gentle as he licked and nipped at my bottom lips, but not for long. Hungrily, he tilted my head and gently urged my mouth to part for his tongue. My moan was immediately smothered under his mouth as he quickly inserted his tongue.

He slanted his mouth and tilted my jaw to get a better angle, and continued to ravish me.

His left hand gently cradled the back of my head, while his right hand freely roamed and caressed my back and hips. He cupped and squeezed my ass as he pulled me closer to him. His hands reached the hem of my tee, and he started pushing in over my body. When we moved apart to get rid of my tee, I was breathless.

"Wait!" He smiled when I tried to kiss him again.

He got rid of his tee as well, then proceeded to strip me off completely. When he slowly lowered me in the jacuzzi, I couldn't help moaning in appreciation.

"Join me," I said, as he immediately got rid of the rest of his clothes and got in behind me, holding me securely in his lap. He then picked up the sponge and tenderly rubbed it on my shoulders and back. Kissing and nibbling on each area of skin, he finished washing.

"Do you like it?" He whispered seductively.

"Hmm," I sighed, luxuriating in his ministrations.

"I need you inside me. My body is crying out to be possessed by you. It's driving me crazy," I rambled.

"Is it?" He seductively purred in my ear.

I barely had time to nod my head in affirmation when Lucian started to lick and suck his mate mark on my neck.
