Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

+25 BONUS Chapter 0118 Chapter 0118 Ella POV Things happened quickly one second , Alexanders lips brushed lightly against mine , and the next , I was pinned to the couch , his body straddling mine as his tongue pressed gently against my mouth .

My lips parted , allowing him to deepen the kiss , and a shiver of electricity ran down my spine .

Alexanders hands were warm and strong as they ran down the length of my back .

I gasped softly as he slipped his fingers beneath the hem of my shirt and touched my bare skin .

The contact made me shiver .

Youre sensitive , Alexander whispered as he pulled away from the kiss .

Dont tease me , I pouted .

Alexander gripped my waist and pulled me forward until I was flush against him .

Im not teasing , he replied with a smirk .

I dont think this was part of our deal , I said weakly .

Alexander brought his lips to mine but stopped short of kissing me .

I felt his lips brush mine as he whispered , Do you want me to stop ? Ill show you to the guest room so you can handle things yourself , if you want .

My mind raced with all the reasons we shouldnt be doing this , a flurry of warnings flashing through my thoughts .

But none of them seemed very convincing in that moment .

No , I answered .

Alexander closed the distance between us , pulling me onto his lap as he kissed me .

Everything else faded into the background as the heat of his body against mine took over , the warmth growing between us undeniable and nearly unbearable thanks to the drugs effects .

My hands found their way to his back , feeling the firmness of his muscles beneath my fingers , and I couldnt stop myself from pulling him closer , as though every inch between us felt like too much distance .

For a moment , it felt as if this was the only thing that mattered , and the world outside of our kiss no longer existed .

My heart was racing as our kiss became messy and frantic .

There was a sense of urgency that I blained on the drug .

It wasnt like we hadnt kissed before .

It wasnt that any of this was new to me .

Every time Alexanders skin touched mine , it sent a shiver through me and caused the heat between us to grow .

I was distantly aware that I was making embarrassing little sounds every time he pulled away to breathe , but I couldnt bring myself to care .

If he tried to tease me about it in the morning , I would blame the effect of the drugs , but that wasnt truly a factor here .

I was attracted to him , and I wanted this even if I wouldnt admit it normally .

It felt like time was moving strangely .

I couldnt tell if wed been on the couch kissing for an hour or a minute when suddenly Alexander stood , lifting me by my thighs as he did so .

I held on tightly as he carried me down a side hallway .

I knew where we were going before I saw the bed coming into view .

I had a fleeting thought that I should put an end to this before we took a step in our relationship that we couldnt 1/3 Chapter 0118 undo , but that was the last thing I wanted .

+25 BONUS Despite all of the logic screaming at me that this was a mistake somehow in my heart , I knew that it was right .

I knew that Alexander and I belonged together , at least at this moment .

Whether that feeling lasted past the morning, I didnt know .

Everything I had done since my second chance began was for others and this one selfish thing I wanted just for myself .

Since Alexander wanted it too , why should I fight it ? Alexander sat me on the edge of the bed and looked at me questioningly .

With a surge of confidence that I didnt normally feel , I looked into his bright eyes and pushed his suit jacket off of myself .

That seemed to be all the confirmation he needed .

I yelped in surprise as Alexander jumped onto the bed , pulling me into the center of the mattress with him .

I giggled at his antics as he kissed my neck and made quick work of my skirt .

My laughter turned to moans quickly as he began to undress me and let his hands wander across my skin .

Sensation overtook my mind .

From that point on , all I could feel was the pleasure of Alexanders touch .

I gave into the pleasure in a way I never had before ; in the darkness of his room , nothing else existed .

Our eyes locked as our bodies twined together .

The intensity in his expression was almost hypnotizing .

I wondered if he was feeling the same inexplicable need that was , or if it was only so intense because of the drug .

I couldnt find my voice to ask , but it didnt matter .

Alexander looked just as wrecked as I felt , and that was answer enough .

M His breath was coming in shuddering gasps as he pulled me impossibly closer .

The pressure inside of me was building , and I knew that he was close to climax as well .

I dug my fingers into his back , urging him to keep going .

Not that there was any risk he was going to stop .

Alexanders movements had become sharp and erratic .

The pressure in me reached a peak and I could feel my eyes roll back as my legs began to shake .

After a few more seconds , Alexander went still above me and then pulled his body away from mine .

I immediately felt cold , but as he lay beside me , he pulled the comforter over me and put his arm around me .

We lay there for a long time , neither of us speaking a word , only listening as our breathing evened out and became calm .

While he was lying with me , there was no sense of embarrassment ; I was merely satisfied .

Eventually , Alexander got up and walked out of the room .

He must have thought that I was asleep because he didnt say anything as he left .

I stared at the ceiling , listening to Alexanders soft footsteps as he moved around the apartment .

Reality settled back into place , bringing with it a flood of regrets .

This shouldnt have happened .

I shouldnt have let it happen .

My life was unpredictable and dangerous at the moment , but that wasnt the only reason this was a bad idea .

For all the hatred I felt toward David , there was a time when I had truly loved him .

I had trusted him with my life , and he had betrayed me in the worst way imaginable .

Even though that reality no longer existed , I had still lived through it .

It had happened to me .

I wasnt recovered from it , and I wasnt sure I ever would be .

It wasnt fair to get involved in another relationship .

I knew I wasnt in the right headspace to allow someone else into my heart .

I wasnt sure I could ever trust again , and it wasnt fair to Alexander to pretend otherwise .

2/3 +258 BONUS We needed to talk about this .

That was all we had to do : talk and agree that it was a breach of our contract .

It was merely a way to relieve stress .

It meant nothing ; we were simply blowing off steam .

If I repeated that Chapter 0118 thought enough times , maybe I would start to believe it .
