She's the luna I want novel Chapter 6

JACE.

"Name your price, Jace. I saved up so much I’m sure I can pay you." She answered in a hoarse voice, and I was just about to counter her when all of a sudden her mouth crashed against mine.

For a long, suspended moment, I was left frozen in my spot, contemplating, unsure of whether I wanted to pull her body away from mine or hold her tightly.

She was crossing the line, and for some reason, I was just letting her.

I closed my eyes as her soft and warm lips devoured mine, and I knew my control was slowly slipping away.

My chest rumbled with a low growl as my hands cupped her ass and lifted her off the ground, while her legs automatically wrapped around my waist. My hand then moved to the back of her head, pressing her closer while holding her in place, before my lips finally gave in and opened.

I heard her sudden intake of breath before her hands grabbed my hair and pulled them tightly as she moved her lips against mine and kissed me as if she had no plans of letting go.

And I was doing the same thing.

I was kissing Amara as if I owned her lips and I was gripping her ass as if they were made for my hands.

I moved swiftly until I was able to slam her back against the cold walls of the basement and press my body onto hers.

She began moving her hips, grinding her front into my growing erection, and I felt like cold water had splashed all over me.

This was all wrong.

I abruptly withdrew my lips from her, and it made her whimper in defiance before she snapped her eyes open. Her eyes dilated, and the ecstasy present in her face just a moment ago had now warped into a scowl.

"I can smell your arousal, Amara." Fuck! why did I have to say that out loud?

"And I can feel your hard dick." She replied cockily, her eyebrows hiking up as she stared at my lips.

"Exactly. We need to stop."

"And why?"

"Amara, enough." I dropped her to the floor, but her arms remained locked around my neck.

"You want me, Jace. I see it in your eyes, and I can feel it in the way you kiss me."

"But it doesn’t mean I would come and bang you."

"Goddes, Jace! I’m not even asking you to fuck me! What are you so afraid of?"

"I’m not your fucking mate!"

"And so? I’m not saying that I am."

"Amara, look at you! What makes you think that at seventeen, the man you wanted will be the man you’ll want in your twenties? Don’t waste your time." I removed her arms from neck until she completely let go.

"Did you forget your mother was seventeen when she fell in love with Uncle Jacob? And that Aunt Janna was seventeen when she met Uncle Aaron. And do you want more names on the list? There’s Aunt Andrea, Aunt Holly…"

"Enough, and don’t you dare forget how my biological grandmother ended up taking her own life! Her life was cut short because my grandfather left her for his fated mate! I don’t have fucking time to play around just to drop any female the moment my mate comes around! And you should be doing the same fucking thing instead of pushing yourself at me!"

"What makes you think being chosen is a bad thing?"

"I just don’t see the need for it! I have a mate!" I brushed my hand over my hair before leaning my hand on the wall. "Go, Amara."
