No Longer Be your Luna (Jane and Xander) novel Chapter 31

*Jane*

I jolted awake to a loud knock. I flinched, eyes darting to the

alarm clock beside me. Who on earth was banging against the

door by 4:35 am.

I blinked. The sheets were twisted around my legs, damp with

sweat. My heart raced as a result of the dream I’d just had.

It was the same one. Again.

Another sharp knock followed as if on cue, forcing me to drag

the covers off my legs and stumble to the door. Aaron was

standing there when I cracked it open. He was dressed in a fitted

long–sleeve running shirt and track pants, looking awfully

His hair was damp as if he’d already gone for a run, or was

muscles rippling under the tight clothes. I couldn’t tear my gaze

Damn it. I wrapped my arms around myself suddenly feeling

shy, but as I moved to do so, I realized I was barely dressed. I’d

Aaron, in nothing but a silk nightwear that

I swallowed hard, suddenly hyper–aware of the chill of the

morning air. I could feel the thin fabric clinging to my skin,

barely veiling my breasts. My nipples hardened from the chill,

or maybe from the weight of his gaze which had just dropped.

I recognized that look. It was raw and hungry. He flexed his jaw,

as if debating whether to push me back into the room and have

his way.

And I wanted him to do that. I wasn’t proud of how badly I

wanted it, but I wouldn’t deny it.

Aaron finally cleared his throat, looking anywhere but at me now. “Get dressed. You’re starting your training today. Your wolf needs to gain strength. You need to be able to defend

yourself.”

I groaned. “It isn’t even morning yet,” I pointed out.

and meet you downstairs.”
