From Rejected Mate to Luna (Julia White) novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218

Matthew’s POV

I felt Julia’s body tremble violently against my mouth, her thighs tightening around my head as she cried out my name. Her release washed over her in powerful waves, her entire body shuddering with the force of her climax. The sweet taste of her arousal filled my senses as she rode out her pleasure, her fingers tangled desperately in my

hair.

As the last tremors subsided, I stood up slowly, supporting her weight as she leaned against me, her head falling onto my shoulder. Her breathing came in ragged gasps, her legs unsteady beneath her. The shower continued to rain warm water over us both, washing away the evidence of our passion.

“Oh my god…” she whispered, her voice barely audible over the rushing water.

I couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction, pride surging through me at being able to give her such pleasure. Hati growled with approval in my mind, pleased to see our mate so thoroughly satisfied. I pressed a gentle kiss to her temple, tasting the droplets of water mixed with the salt of her skin.

Pressing my lips to her ear, I murmured, “Should I take you to bed now?”

Julia laughed softly, her eyes brightening as she looked up at me. “Really?” The single word held both surprise and

anticipation.

“If you thought that was good,” I growled, nipping gently at her earlobe, “let me show you what else I can do.” My hand trailed down her back, pulling her hips against mine. “Imagine me deep inside you…”

I felt her considering my words, her body responding instinctively to the promise in my voice. Not waiting for her verbal answer–her body had already told me everything I needed to know–I reached behind her to turn off the shower. I grabbed a towel from the rack, quickly wrapping it around her, then hoisted her over my shoulder in a firefighter’s carry that made her squeal in surprise.

I scooped Julia up in my arms with a smooth, practiced motion, cradling her wet body against my chest as I carried her from the steamy bathroom. Her laughter echoed through the hallway, the sound warming something deep inside me as water dripped from our bodies, leaving a trail across the hardwood floor.

“Firefighter rescue?” she teased, wrapping her arms around my neck, her eyes still hazy with pleasure from her

release.

“More like treasure retrieval,” I murmured, pressing my lips to her temple as I navigated toward the bedroom. Hati

rumbled with satisfaction in my mind, pleased to have our mate in our arms where she belonged.

Moonlight streamed through the partially open curtains, casting the room in an ethereal silver–blue glow. Julia’s bed sheets looked almost luminescent in the natural light, and when I gently laid her down, droplets of water on her skin caught the moonbeams, making her sparkle like she was covered in tiny diamonds.

I stood beside the bed for a moment, just looking at her, unable to contain the emotion swelling in my chest. This beautiful woman had nearly slipped through my fingers. The thought was unbearable.

“What is it?” she whispered, her expression growing concerned.

I shook my head slightly, feeling a sad smile touch my lips. “I keep thinking… if I’d come back sooner. If I hadn’t

wasted so much time…”

The regret was a physical ache in my chest. So many wasted weeks. So many nights I could have spent with her in my arms. The knowledge that I had hurt her with my absence was almost too much to bear.

Instead of answering with words, I knelt beside the bed, taking her right foot in my hands. I could sense her surprise at the gesture–this wasn’t what she expected from an Alpha wolf. My fingers massaged her arch with gentle pressure, then I leaned forward and pressed my lips against her ankle, inhaling the intoxicating scent that was uniquely Julia.
