I chuckle and turn around to give him a long, deep kiss. This has gotten so natural between us now... I put my hands around his neck and enjoy the taste of his lips. Damian’s beard is exactly the length I love, a bit scratchy against my skin. He looks older and more serious, but I like that. We keep kissing, and I don’t want to let go. My mate groans.
“Nora... We need to go...”
I don’t care, I want him now. I keep kissing him playfully and manage to take off his shirt he just put on. Damian laughs and starts attacking my neck, his hands reaching for my underwear. I smile because I know it’s my win. I feel my mate already excited above me, and as usual, he catches my hand to intertwine our fingers together. I feel his member against my thigh, and my body temperature rises immediately. His fingers reach for my most vulnerable part and start caressing me, making me feel good. I start breathing harder.
How did we get used to each other’s bodies so quickly? I don’t know, but gosh, this is the best feeling in the world when Damian finally enters me. I give out a sound my voice couldn’t possibly make otherwise, and my mate kisses me passionately. We start moving, the oldest dance in the world. I reach for his skin’s warmth, ask for more kisses, and let out my voice as I please. Damian’s gentle, yet passionate. I relax under him, indulging in that pleasure as he keeps going. I love his erratic breathing against my ear. His voice makes me crazy, and I close my eyes to concentrate on those sensations. He accelerates, and I can’t hold it in when it overtakes me. A wave of heat and pleasure, hitting me, blowing me away. Damian joins me, too, and groans loudly.
We both calm down, catching our breath. My mate puts his head in my shoulder and kisses my bare skin before letting out a sigh.
“Damn, Nora, you really make me crazy...”
I chuckle. Who knows how long Neal will scold him for being late...? As an apology, I kiss him on the corner of his lips.
“I know. But you love it, and I love it, too.”
“You do?”
This time, it’s his turn to give me a sneaky glance. Stop teasing me like this! I blush a bit and try to grab my panties, but Damian catches my hand first.
“Damian! Enough, I need to dress up, too!”
“Oh no, you need a shower!”
Without warning, he suddenly puts me over his shoulder. What is he...? Moon Goddess, why is he getting up, I’m totally naked! I try to protest, but he gets up and carries me like a potato sack to the bathroom. I can’t believe him! He is still laughing when I finally chase him out of the bathroom to shower. Gosh, I know I started it, but still!
I take my time to shower, washing my hair and all, and when I exit, wrapped in my bath towel, I’m surprised to find a full outfit ready for me on the bed, brand new. I check it. A white woolen dress, a black leather belt, and laced booties?
“Tonia prepared it for you. She thought you might want something Luna-like...”
In her mind, it must have meant expensive! Though I have to admit, the dress looks gorgeous and very chic, with the back open and a lot of embroideries. I try it on, and indeed, I look very... respectable and pure in this. I definitely get a princess vibe from the long skirt, too. When I add the belt, I notice there are actually shiny stones embroidered in it, matching my diamond necklace. I add one of my pairs ofblack tights, and Damian helps me put my hair up with a hairpin.
My mate is already all dressed up, with his usual jet-black suit. I pick a black silk necktie and put it on him, as he taught me, and finish with a quick kiss on his lips.
“Ready?” He asks.
I nod. “Ready.”
He takes my hand, and we exit his apartment. We meet Bobo and Neal downstairs and take the elevator to go a few stairs down. It’s still early, but the Blood Moon lieutenants are gathered in the meeting room. I recognize Sean, Vane, Thaddeus, and Joshua, as well as Isaac, Nathaniel’s Beta, among the people present. When we enter, they all bow, but this time, it’s not just to Damian, but to me, as well. Wow, this is definitely new...
Sadly, the youngest Black Brother is still absent. We still haven’t heard from Liam at all, and everyone is starting to get nervous about it. According to Tonia, he’s never gone missing for so long, it’s getting serious. Yesterday, Damian sent scouts looking for him, and we tried mind-linking him again without success. I even tried asking the witch’s butterfly, still hanging around me, but nothing happened. Could something have happened to him? I almost told Damian about the Witch yesterday. Still, even if I did, I’m not even sure she had anything to do with him escaping the Sapphire Moon Clan...
Damian faces the whole group, and everyone listens in total silence as Neal starts talking.
“So far, the following Clans responded positively to the Invitation: The Jade Moon, the Pearl Moon, the White Moon, and the Sea Moon Clans. If we add the Sapphire Moon Clan, that makes a total of five Clans, two hundred and fifty people. Seven smaller packs also announced they would show up: The Ruby Moon, the Flower Moon, the Asphodel Moon, the LotusMoon, the Ivy Moon, the Twilight Moon, and the Winter Moon packs.”
So many? I don’t know how many small packs Silver City has, but seven seems already like a lot, though this is my first time hearing those names.
“They’re not big?” Asks Vane.
“Not really. About thirty to fifty adults, at most. Most of them only have a couple of properties or businesses,” explains Thaddeus.
“Not that important...” Says a guy I don’t recognize.
“Any pack that is willing to come is important,” I say. “Any willing werewolves will be welcome, regardless of their wealth or strength.”
The guy looks down and apologizes right away for his words. Neal resumes talking about the security measures this time. I notice Nathaniel is absent, too. Why isn’t he here? I ask Damian, but my mate shakes his head. Where could he be? I feel some fur against my leg.
“Bobo, do you know where Nathaniel is?”
