Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0169 Chapter 0169 I eagerly stepped in , letting the water wash over my weary body .

The tension from the long day melted away as the warmth soothed my muscles and cleared my mind .

It didnt take long for my mind to wander .

Sleeping in the same bed with Alexander shouldnt have been a big deal , and yet the thought alone was enough to make my heart race .

I tried to keep myself focused on the task at hand , scrubbing away the days weariness .

Once I was done , I turned off the water and myself .

apped a towel around Stepping out of the shower , I walked over to the medicine cabinet .

Glancing in the mirror , I winced at the sight of my hair a tangled disaster .

Of course , I hadnt thought to bring a brush .

Hoping to find a comb or something useful , I opened the cabinet .

It was immediately obvious that this was Alexanders bathroom .

Everything was so high up , and given our height difference , I could barely see the top shelf , let alone reach it .

Standing on my toes , I reached for a handle poking over the edge , hoping it was what I needed .

My fingertips brushed the handle , and several items toppled out .

I let out a startled cry and jumped back as things hit the ground with a sharp clatter .

My eyes widened when I realized it wasnt a comb I had been grabbing it was a shaving razor .

The blade landed on my foot , and a sharp jolt of pain shot through me .

Watery blood began pooling around my foot , and I stared at it in shock , the pain intensifying with every passing moment .

Ella ? Alexanders voice was laced with concern from the other side of the door .

You shouted are you okay ? No , I replied , my voice trembling with panic as I stared at the blood .

Im hurt .

Im coming in , Alexander said , and before I could respond , he threw the door open .

His gaze immediately dropped to the floor , where the puddle of blood glistened under the harsh bathroom light .

Without hesitation , he stepped in , his expression sharpening into focus as he assessed the situation .

He guided me gently to sit on the edge of the tub , then turned to the cabinet and retrieved a first aid kit .

I was too embarrassed and startled to say anything , watching him move with an efficiency that left no room for questions .

Kneeling in front of me , he opened the kit and pulled out a few pads of gauze .

This might hurt , he said softly , pressing the gauze firmly against the wound .

I hissed in pain , but he held steady , the pressure stemming the bleeding .

The pain began to dull , replaced by the steady thud of my heart pounding in my chest .

As the initial shock faded , I found myself staring at Alexander .

His head was bent in concentration , his fingers steady as he tended to my injury .

The towel wrapped around me suddenly felt very thin far too thin for the closeness between us .

My heart raced for an entirely different reason now , the intimacy of the moment leaving me breathless .

Alexander looked up at me and I heard his breath hitch as our eyes met .

He had realized the situation we were in as well .

His bright eyes looked stormy and he moved forward slightly , almost unintentionally .

The wild thought that I wanted to kiss him entered my mind , unbidden and undeniable .

My gaze lingered on him , his jaw tight with concentration , his hands gentle yet firm as they worked .

But before I could act or even fully process the thought- loud knock shattered the moment .

1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 0169 I heard a scream , Dianas voice called through the door .

Whats going on in there ?! Alexander froze , glancing sharply over his shoulder .

A muttered curse slipped from his lips , low enough that I doubted Diana could hear it .

A wave of nerves hit me like a freight train , leaving me momentarily paralyzed .

My eyes darted to the door , then back to Alexander .

How bad did this look ? Me , sitting in nothing but a towel , Alexander kneeling in front of me , blood on the floor it wasnt hard to imagine Diana drawing all the wrong conclusions .

What should we do ?
