Chapter 247: We won’t be coming tonight...
Lucius POV
"We did it," Emilia said softly "We rescued Luna Selene,".
I nodded, allowing myself a small smile. "We did and you are the perfect person I should always fight with. We were in so much synchronization that I shouldn’t have wasted my time talking,".
The sun dipped low, casing a warm glow through the windows in the abandoned warehouse. I broke the kiss and stood close, my fingers lightly grazing Emilia’s cheeks.
"You don’t know how much I’ve wanted to do that," it was meant to be a thought but it came out before I could stop it.
"And me too," Emilia giggled "I lie awake every night craving your touch, Lucius. Why didn’t you ever reach out? You know we had so much fun back and now..." she sighed.
"I’m sorry," I whispered as I slowly lifted a hand to brush a stray lock of hair from her face, our eyes met and held. "I didn’t want to make things complicated and then I had a job to do. Being a Beta is very demanding,".
Emilia’s breath hitched slightly as she came closer to me. "I know that," she said "But Betas are allowed to love. To start a family and to be in love. You would make a great dad, Lucius and this is not me, trying to throw in a marriage proposal. We’re fated together, you shouldn’t fight it,".
"The moon goddess is clearly insane. How can I be fated to two people at the same time? That doesn’t sound normal and now..." I tilted her head, my lips barely brushing against hers. "Enough of all this talk, more action,".
Emilia responded by closing the gap, and our lips met in a kiss that was soft, slow and full of emotion, different from the first one we shared. My hands ran through her body, kneading, touching... I wanted to hold back, but I couldn’t. Her scent filled my nostrils, driving me crazy.
I reached for the hem of her shirt and we both paused as she raised her hand, assisting me to remove the shirt. We discarded it somewhere. Soon, other parts of our clothing joined the heap on the ground.
