Luna's Deadly Deception: How She Made Her Alpha Pay novel Chapter 109

He swept me off my feet and gently carried me towards the sofa. In silence, he set me down and turned his gaze to my arm.

"It's healing pretty nicely." He noted, nodding his head just a little.

"Yeah." I sighed. "I'm glad for it. Don't know how much more coddling I can take."

My attempt at a joke didn't get so far. He wasn't really smiling as he watched me. His eyes were focused on my arm before he finally turned to regard me.

"I appreciate what you did for me that night. But please, don't ever put yourself in danger again. Not for me, or anyone else. Okay?"

I nodded. "Okay."

"Good." He smiled. "I'll hold you to that promise."

I could barely say anything in reply. The only thing could focus was on his eyes. Askhan was an incredibly handsome man. No doubt he was well aware of that. But damn…I couldn't turn away even if I wanted to.

His eyes lingered on me, like they couldn't quite move even if he himself wanted them to. The room felt oddly warm. Or maybe it was simply his gaze. There was a way he looked like me with his eyes. Like those alone were enough to completely leave me undone.

His gaze dropped to my arm. I swallowed down, wondering what could be going through his head at that moment.

He mumbled something underneath his breath before gently reaching for my arm. I didn't say anything, simply letting him bring it towards him.

A small gasp left my lips as he placed a small kiss on the back of my hand. Then he moved to my arm, the part that had the injury.

He started with slowly taking the bandage off before examining the wound carefully. Then slowly, he ran his tongue up the length of my arm.

It felt strange…yet oddly arousing. His warmth tongue continued to run up and down the length of my arm.

A part of me wanted to hate it, the feelings that welled up in me with each slow and tortuous movement of his tongue.

But I'd be lying if I said that to myself.

His eyes raised up to meet mine, and then he stopped. "It should heal much faster from now."

I swallowed, trying to pretend my cheeks weren't the colour of a tomato. My whole body felt hot with a flame that Askhan had lit up in me.

"The king and queen have been looking for me." He said calmly.

My brows furrowed in confusion. "Why?"

"What?" He chuckled drily. "Not the handsome prince you were expecting to see?"

I scoffed, turning away from him and heading back into the room. Quentin followed immediately, not giving me a single breathing space.

"Saw him leaving a couple of seconds ago. What's wrong? Lover's fight?" He didn't bother hiding the mockery laced in his voice

"What's it to you?" I levelled a glare at him.

He laughed, a cold look in his eyes as he regarded me. "Just who do you think you are? You really thought you'd be his princess?"

I smiled, not the slightest bit moved by his words. "I didn't want to see you anyway."

"Oh yeah?" Quentin scoffed, following after me even as I tried to move away from him.

I sighed, turning back to look at him. "What is wrong with you? I thought you'd have left already."

"Well I haven't." He cut in. "The conversation we were having yesterday, let's continue with it."

"No." I shut him down immediately.
