“Shit…” Himari mutters under her breath.
I don’t stop walking until I’m right in front of Sienna. My hand slides around her slender waist, and I pull her in close, flush against me. Her breath catches in her throat. I smile faintly.
“Speaking of clothes…” I murmur, my eyes sweeping down her body. I take my time dragging my gaze back up, drinking her in like a shot I can’t stop chasing. “You look fucking incredible tonight. Then again… when don’t you?”
Her eyes widen, her heartbeat pounding. She places a hand on my arm hesitantly, and I gaze down at the woman before me.
Fuck, Sienna…
I lean in, head tilted, my lips grazing hers, and then I kiss her deeply and passionately. A ripple of gasps goes through the crowd around us, like a whisper spreading in the wind. Her mouth opens beneath mine, and everything else disappears.
The voices, the eyes, the bullshit and the pain. It all fades away. Right now, it’s just her. Her warmth, her taste, the way she clings to my shirt is as if she fears she’ll lose me if she lets go.
And for this blissful moment, she becomes the only thing on my mind.
Her lips move against mine with a kind of need I feel in every inch of me. I deepen the kiss, pulling her closer until there’sno space left between us. My fingers press into the small of her back, anchoring her to me like I’m afraid she’ll vanish if I let go.
She makes me forget everything I hate about the world. The noise in my head, the weight on my shoulders. Every scar, every regret – none of it matters when we’re kissing like this.
Her hand slides up to rest on my chest, and it’s my undoing. She touches me like I’m worth something, like I’m not broken or dangerous or fucked up beyond repair. Just hers.
A sound escapes her, a soft, breathless moan, sending a wave of pleasure to my cock. I want more. Not just her body, but everything. She’s the woman I’m meant to spend the rest of my life with.
I want to know everything about her, every inch of her body, her fears, her past, her future. All of it. I want to know what makes her smile and what keeps her up at night. I want to ruin every other man for her. I want her to never want anyone else again.
She gives me strength, she makes me forget, she makes me fucking happy.
And in this kiss, I tell her all of that without saying a word.
And with the crowd watching, it’s perfect, because if there’s one thing everyone knows about me, it’s that I don’t kiss. Not like this.
And that alone is enough to make it crystal clear: Sienna Rossi is mine.
Under the Moon
Sienna
Dreams do come true. Right at this moment, as he kisses me beneath the glittering lights on my birthday, I am the luckiest girl in the world. This moment is magical, just like every other moment is with him. I grip onto his jacket tightly, not wanting him to move away as I kiss him back. My entire body is alight with emotions I have no name for.
The eyes of the world could be on us, and I really wouldn’t care. The Sienna Rossi who wanted to disappear into the background is no longer here. This Sienna Rossi wants the world to see me in his arms, to show every single person he’s mine, and above all, for him and me to make this completely real. We don’t need to hide. Why should we hide?
The moment I suck in a breath, he pulls away, ever so slightly, enough to let me breathe but still close enough for his lips to brush against mine tantalisingly.
He says my emotions are chaotic, but so are his; the way his heart is pounding in his chest.
I smile softly. I can hear everything better. My senses haveheightened, and I know I will get my wolf because I can feel her presence in my mind, and when I shift for the first time, my senses will awaken completely. But right now, I can tell from his shaky breath and his pounding heart that he isn’t as calm as he usually is.
“What the…” Himari’s sharp voice makes me snap out of this beautiful moment. My cheeks heat as I feel all the eyes on me, but when I keep my eyes on Jayce’s, it doesn’t feel hard to be the centre of attention. In fact, I’m not even going to bother to acknowledge them.
He’s mine, he’s with me, he cares for me, and I him. Allison and Himari are not worth it. I wrap my arms around Jayce’s waist, and he pulls me even closer, his arms firmly around me, kissing the top of my head.
“What the hell is going on?” Tatum murmurs, and I turn my head to see him standing beside Ahren, who is watching me with red eyes. Creepy… no – remember the image of him eating cookies! Yes, not creepy.
“Don’t ask,” Ahren says, his tone displeased. Tatum’s frown deepens as he watches me before Heaven goes over to them.
“Lighten up, both of you.”
“You knew,” Tatum states, his brows practically becoming one.
