The days fly past me in waves as Deimos fills up every part of my being. He empties his cup into me and I drink it all up not leaving a single drop. I am overflowing. With love, warmth, and happiness. When he told me, soul, before body I blindly accepted not thinking twice about it. But lately, I have been understanding the real meaning.
When you are with someone having nothing that connects you both but a pull or a physical attraction, the thread that links you both rots and dies with time. But if your souls are connected the thread grows stronger. It creates something. An unbreakable bond.
Yes, Deimos and I still feel the pull, and some nights when the moon is full we cannot stop ourselves from reaching the limit. Teeth biting. Hips grinding. We take what the other can give. But I learned not to take advantage of the situation. Our time is nearing so why rush.
“Lumina,” Deimos calls out walking inside the room as the females’ bow greeting him.
I put down the papers I was holding in my hands as I look up at him with a smile. “Yes, my male,” I say softly.
“Leave.” One word and the obedient females scurry out the room eyes glued to the floor.
He walks towards me with a gentle smile. “How are you today?” He asks me bending down giving me a soft kiss on my lips. I haven’t seen him today at all.
“I need more coffee,” I say lifting my mug and he chuckles until a frown takes over his face.
His thumb softly slides across my eyes. He looks worried as he speaks. “Am I overworking you, my female? Are you sleeping well?” His voice holds a gentle tone as he checks up on me.
Holding his wrist in my hand I kiss his pulse softly closing my eyes. “Don’t worry too much,” I reply.
He kneels putting his hands on my knees. “You need to tell me if you need a break. Don’t push yourself.” He says.
I smile as I run my fingers through his thick hair. “You will be the first to know, I promise,” I tell him as he closes his eyes finding pleasure in the feeling.
“I need to talk to you about something.” He says as I nod for him to continue. “Do you like it here, Lumina?” He asks me as I frown.
“Of course I do. I love it here. I have my females… I have this wonderful place and I have… you.” I say placing my palm across his cheek. Is he insecure? But why now after all this time together?
“Do you love it so much that you wouldn’t be able to bear being apart from it for a while?” He questions me and I tilt my head to the side confused. What is this male poking at?
“Deimos, just tell me.” I push him as he gets up and walks to the window.
With a sigh, he answers me, “This will be sudden but we have to leave for a while.” He says short and straight to the point. What? Leave? Where? Why? So many questions flood my mind.
“I… But… So-.” As my mind jumbles about to find the right question to ask him his fingers brush through his hair frustrated.
“I know you have a lot of questions, I will answer them with time but for now this is all I can tell you.” He says as I stare at the floor deep in thought.
“All right at least answer me these. Where and is it just us?” I ask him.
“Italy. No, Ragon and Elriam will accompany us.” He replies. My eyes widen when he said Italy. I thought it would be somewhere like a nearby town but a different country? I didn’t even think about it.
Being an Alpha has its perks and one of the prime ones being travel. But I never had that opportunity as I could never leave my pack alone since no one was capable to look after it if I left.
“Can I be excited? Or should I be the serious Luna?” I ask him as I chew on my lower lip.
His lips curve up into a deep grin as he replies, “You can be excited. Very excited.” He says emphasizing ‘very’ and when I finally understand the meaning he is implying my cheeks burn as I look down at my hands placed on my lap while my heart pounds.
“S-So when are we leaving?” I ask him so I can prepare my things.
“Tonight.” He replies as the sound of my chair screeching back across the tiles envelopes the room. Tonight? As in a few hours?
“Deimos, why have you told me so late? I need to go pack! For how many days must I p-” I move quickly towards the door mid-question as he holds my wrist and pulls me to his chest. He sniffs my scent as his lips make contact with the nape of my neck.
“It just got confirmed now. I didn’t want to disappoint you if you knew before and it didn’t happen.” He whispers. I shift in his arms so that I am face to face with him. He holds my hips gently as I hold his shoulders.
“Thank you for thinking of me,” I told him as he tilts his head to the side.
“You know what I was thinking of?” He asks while he pulls me closer to him. He brings his mouth to my ear and whispers, “I was thinking of how we will finally have some ‘alone time.” His mouth latches on to my neck once more as I gasp and tilt my head back giving him more access.
My hands find themselves deep in his hair and a loud moan escapes my lips. Holding my hips tighter Deimos begins to softly thrust himself on me. “The thought of it drives me wild.” He grunts into my neck.
My lips attack his as he gulps down my loud moans and I swallow his growls.
