Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0220 Chapter 0220 A young , bubbly woman greeted us with an enthusiastic smile .

Hello , Alpha Black .

Hello , soon to be Mrs.

Black , she said with a giggle .

Were so pleased to have you here today .

Weve arranged a private tasting as requested , with some snacks available as well .

Perfect , Alexander replied with a polite smile .

Please , lead the way .

+25 BONUS She nodded and led us inside .

The interior was stunning rich with old wood and beautifully preserved antiques that gave the space a timeless charm .

We were shown into a large room where a long table was set up with an array of wine bottles and small glasses for tasting .

This is it , she said brightly .

Theres a form at the end of the table where you can check off which bottles youd like and how many .

Just hand it to us on your way out , and thatll be all .

You werent kidding about private , I said softly .

Id expected someone to stay and guide us through the tasting , maybe share some history about each wine .

Thats not necessary , Alexander said , his tonę calm but assured .

I know enough about wine to handle this .

I just want us to find something we both like without overthinking the vintage .

1 nodded , trusting his confidence .

Perfect , the young woman said .

If you have any questions or need anything , just come find me .

Otherwise , have a wonderful time .

Thank you , Alexander said , flashing her another kind smile .

As she left , I turned to Alexander , feeling a sense of ease settle over me .

The room was quiet , intimate , and comfortable .

Alexander stepped up to the first bottle of wine and poured a small amount into a cup .

Then he handed it to me with a gentle smile .

I didnt know much about wine , so as Alexander explained a little about each bottle , I nodded politely and tried to pay attention .

But it wasnt long before I began to feel the wine going to my head .

I rarely drank , and it didnt take much for me to feel the effects a fact that David had once used to his advantage .

But I wasnt worried about that now .

I trusted Alexander completely .

By the time we reached the seventh bottle , I stumbled slightly as I moved toward the table .

Alexander laughed out loud , his amusement clear .

Youre cute when youre drunk , he commented .

Im not drunk , I argued , though I could feel the warmth in my cheeks and was acutely aware of my unsteady gait .

Its okay , Alexander said , his tone playful but reassuring Ill make sure you dont embarrass yourself when we leave .

Id be embarrassing you , I pointed out with a small pout After all , Im your wife .

A strange expression flickered across his face , but his smile didnt fade .

Not quite yet , he said softly .

But I will be , I said with a grin , reaching for the glass in his hand .

My fingers closed around his , but Alexander Chapter 0220 didnt let go .

+25 BONUS Maybe he was worried Id spill it on myself .

I pulled the glass toward my lips , bringing Alexanders hand with it .

As I took a sip , his knuckle brushed my lip , sending a small shiver through me .

The smile on his face faltered , and he stared at me with an intensity that made my breath catch .

Something unspoken hung between us , heavy and electric , as I release the glass .

Alexander stood still for a moment , his gaze unreadable .

Then he took a deliberate step away from me , and the mood in the room shifted .

My smile faded , embarrassment flooding through me .

Had gone too far ? Alexander didnt mention my behavior .

Instead , he moved to the next bottle and poured a smaller amount , carefully holding the cup by its base as he offered it to me .

I swallowed my embarrassment and took the cup from him , determined to carry on as though nothing had happened .
