Filed To Story: The Perfect Luna by Marissa Gilbert

“What do you think you are doing?!” she scolded him as if he was guilty of something when he was clearly being a gentleman here.

“Me?” he tried his best to look offended even though he was amused by the whole situation. He also enjoyed the delicate blush that k*issed her cheeks. It suited her. “I am just getting some fresh air. The question is what are you doing here? Are you trying to flash the guards?” he couldn’t wipe the smirk off his own face. The tint on her cheeks became even more evident and he was enjoying that he made her feel this way.

“For a gardener who likes to spend his time in a library you aren’t that bright, right?” she moved closer to him and he watched her, fascinated by the playful smile on her pretty face. He even missed the insult, feeling the warmth of her little body next to his. He liked it. He liked it a lot. Too much even.

“Enlighten me then,” a smile tugged at the corners of his lips..

‘What’s there to explain?” She did not look impressed. “I was about to shift and let my wolf run. And what about you? These aren’t your working hours. Were you just trying to find someone to stalk?”

“Stalk?” a scoff escaped him. She was pointing her index finger at him, and he grasped her wrist, spinning her and pressing her back to a nearby tree. “Little maid,” he was so close to her now that he could inhale her delicious scent all he wanted, “There is no need for me to stalk anyone. I already have more women than I can handle.”

“This is not something to be proud of, you know?” she burst out laughing. She irked him. But also… she excited him.

Savannah couldn’t believe the situation she was in. The gardener’s beard was tickling her neck and his hot breath was burning her skin. It was a game to him and it was a game to her as well. A game which she enjoyed. For the first time in a while she was enjoying something.

She jabbed him with her elbow and he let her turn to face him, but the moment their eyes locked, he pinned her back to the tree. Forehead to forehead, ragged breathing, his hands on her waist… She wanted to k*iss that gardener and to hell with everything. She didn’t care about the king anyway. And Athena was eager to do it as well.

She grabbed his t-shirt and wanted to pull him closer, when the familiar pain returned, piercing her whole body and almost making her scream.

“That son of a b**tch!” her wolf growled in fure, ready to burst out and destroy everything just not to feel this t*ortur*e of their mate’s evident betrayal.

“Are you okay?” the gardener brushed his palm over her cheek and she leaned into it because she was so hot and his skin was the coolness that she wanted so much, that she needed. It was helping her and… it suddenly occurred to her that he could help her much better than this.

“Just k*iss me already!” she hissed, and he didn’t let her have a second to regret her words..

His surprisingly soft lips slammed into hers, his tongue thrusting into her mouth, demanding submission that she was never going to give him.

Kai lost it. He completely lost it with this strange girl. If someone saw him with this maid while his house was full of his potential Luna candidates, a scandal would be unavoidable.

If only he cared when she tasted so good, and when her scent was so intoxicating. He lifted her up, fingers sliding under the robe to dig into her perky bum. She wrapped her thighs and hands around him, making it so much easier. All while his hardness pressed right into her c0re through his jeans, making her M0@n and arch her back. The maid’s frail neck opened up a bit and he hastily removed her soft silky locks away to start greedily k*issing her delicate skin. She felt too good to be true, but he did not want to contemplate about it. Not now. Not when he was so close to having her.

The pain was long gone but Savannah did not care. Her life was already a mess. What could one little fling do? She hated her mate, she hated the northern king. So, what if the gardener made her feel alive again?

She could feel Kyle knocking into her mind. She shut the link and did not react. But he kept trying and this made her gr0@n in frustration, which only ignited the gardener’s fire as his hands were searching for the ties of her robe.

She wanted him. She wanted him so badly!

But there was also her kingdom… And the people in it… Was it worth it to put them all in danger by k*issing some insanely hot gardener?

She hated to admit it but Kyle already ruined the moment. The disturbance was helping her to slowly come to her senses.

“Stop,” she muttered and to her surprise the lycan who held her did just that. He stopped and looked at her questioningly.

“What is it, Kyle?” Savvy asked mentally.

“Where the hell are you! They said that all contenders have to be in their room by nine o‘clock. You are already late, and they are checking! Find a way back and do it quickly! I will try to hold them back or make a diversion.”

“Got you” Savannah closed the link and sighed. The gardener looked at her as if he did not want it to end but knew that he had no choice.

“I need to go,” the girl smiled but that smile did not reach her eyes.

“You must be kidding,” he grunted in her neck, feeling how she unwrapped her legs and tried to get down. He did not want this. His whole essence was against this. But their eyes met again and he knew that she was serious.

“I need to find a way to get back to our tower,” she explained and he nodded, placing her back to the ground. She looked so worried that he couldn’t bring himself to make her stay. “They are checking if people are back in their rooms and I am here…”.

“Let’s go,” the gardener took her hand and pulled her in the direction of the buildings. “There is a back entrance for servants.”

“Great,” she mumbled as everything between the two of them became awkward again.

Kai thought that maybe it was for the best. What happened right now was pure madness. And he couldn’t do that. Not now, not with this girl.

5 minutes ago

Zack knew that there was only one way to remind his mate that he was still existing. So, when his Beta brought him the girl that reminded him of Savvy the most, he didn’t hesitate. He didn’t like to make it long either. All he needed was a rele*se and to send a message to his mate.

Yet this time was different. As he had hardly started when a piercing pain hit every cell of his body…

He growled loudly, throwing the she-wolf away and dropping to all fours on the floor. His claws were leaving traces on the wood and he almost shifted as his wolf wanted to run and go searching for their mate. The mate that was clearly enjoying someone’s company now.

“Savannah!” Zack snarled, requiring all his physical strength not to follow his feral desires. He didn’t know when it ended and how long it lasted. But he knew one thing — he needed to find Savvanah fast…
