Chapter 54: Night Attack
As they broke apart to catch their breath, Ryder’s hunger tripled. He buried his face in the delicate curve of Reana’s neck, inhaling deeply as he scattered kisses and gentle nips across her skin.
Reana’s eyes fluttered closed, her head tilting to the side, as she let out a soft sigh of pleasure. Ryder’s warm breath danced across her skin, sending shivers down her spine, while his gentle nibbles and kisses ignited a fire that threatened to consume her.
His hands roamed up her back, holding her close, as he continued to worship her skin, his touch sending waves of desire crashing through her. "Ryder," she moaned, but he just growled softly, his lips never leaving her skin.
"Luna! There’s a monster..." Mirian’s words trailed off as she froze in the tent entrance, her eyes wide with shock and horror. Before her, the Luna and Ryder were entwined, their bodies locked in a passionate embrace. Ryder’s face was buried in the curve of Reana’s neck, while the Luna’s face was ablaze with a fiery flush.
The air was heavy with tension as Mirian’s sudden presence shattered the intimate moment. "Mirian," Reana whispered, her voice husky with desire, as she tried to pull away from Ryder’s grasp.
But Ryder’s grip only tightened, his fingers digging deeper into her skin, unwilling to pull away from her neck.
Reana swallowed, her conscience wavering despite her conviction that she’d done nothing wrong. For some strange reasons, she felt guilty, but for what exactly?
Ryder’s refusal to release her only made things more awkward. But Reana knew she had to do something. Clearing her throat, her stoic mask shifted into place. "What did you want, Mirian?" she asked, her tone neutral, as if the tension between them was nonexistent.
Mirian’s gaze flickered to Ryder, whose face was still buried in Reana’s neck. Her eyes narrowed before she spat out the words, "There are monsters outside. They’re heading straight for us."
