💙

Last night was an exhilarating moment that I've been waiting years for. Then it all came crashing down when those tears left her eyes. All I could think about was if I hurt her. Did I force her into something she wasn't ready for?

But then I remember how she begged me to let her have her release and the way she teased me. My hands, the licking, the biting. So what happened?

Rolling over in bed, I watch Luna washing her face and brushing her teeth in the bathroom. When her eyes land on me a soft smile rises on her lips and she quickly finishes up in the bathroom then makes her way over to me.

"Good morning," she greets pulling back the covers and climbing into my lap, straddling my waist.

"Good morning."

She hums and takes my hands, placing them on her thighs and looking into my eyes with something deep and...mutual. I understand that look because I've felt that emotion millions of times when I'm with her.

My morning wood begins to grow underneath her and I know she feels it as she adjusts herself on top of me, pushing against my erection. I bite back a groan at her movement and the look in her eyes turns hungry. Me and you both baby.

"We have a meeting today with the dealer," Luna breathes out as her hips slowly begin to move against my hard member.

She better not be teasing me or I'm going to be really pissed.

Luna leans forward and places her hands on my chest, looking into my eyes and biting her plump bottom lip. A moan leaves her lips as she continues to move her hips against me, applying pressure to my already hard dick. She definitely knows how to turn me on, and my body is screaming to finally get my release from her.

Impulsively, I drag my hands up her sides gently pulling up her shirt as I go. She doesn't object as she lifts her arms and helps me take them off to reveal her beautiful breasts.

Tugging her into me, I take a nipple into my mouth, tasting her delicious skin as she moans and continues to move her hips over my cock. I could cum like this and I know if she keeps it up, I probably will.

"You taste good," I groan against her nipple, dragging my hands down to her ass and pushing her against my dick.

"Carter, I need to tell you something."

"Not now," I growl sending a sharp slap to her perfect ass.

With a sigh she pulls away from me, her nipple slipping from in between my teeth. I don't want to talk and ruin this moment but it seems as if Luna has something she really wants to get out. Instead of complaining, I sit up against the headboard and adjust Luna in my lap.

She avoids eye contact for a moment then locks eyes with me, completely sure of what she's about to say. But I'm nervous about the words that are going to come out of her mouth.

"I've had some time to rest and think and sleep on things." What type of things? "I want to throw caution to the wind because I really want—"

The phone rings, cutting Luna off. I try to convince her not to answer it, but she just places a kiss on my cheek and reaches over to answer it, placing it on speaker and letting it rest on my chest.

I decide to tease her as she talks on the phone until I hear a familiar voice come through the speaker. It sets Luna on edge and she immediately takes the phone off speaker and crawls out of my lap. I notice the tension in her body as she stands by the dresser and growls into the phone.

"What do you want?" The other person says something that makes her scoff. "It's been two years...you cheated...it's over, do you not get that?"

I climb out of bed and make my way over to Luna's side. I don't know where we stand, but I sure as hell am not going to let this prick try and come back into her life two years later. Wrapping my arms around, Luna's waist I place a gentle kiss on her ear and take the phone out of her hand.

"Call my girl again and you will regret it."

I hang up and turn Luna to me. That look in her eyes from earlier is gone and something I don't recognize looks back at me. But I want to know what she was going to say. She said she wanted to throw caution to the wind because she really wanted something. I want to know what that is.

"Luna, what were you saying before?"

She shakes her head and takes the phone out of my hand. "It was...Never mind it. We have to get ready for the meeting."

That stupid phone call ruined the whole mood and may have set us back.

Watching her walk off, I think about what she could've possibly wanted to say to me. But she's right, we have a meeting and I need to get dressed. I go into my room and shower, taking care of the problem Luna caused and never finished because of the interruption by her stupid ex-boyfriend.

I hate the man.

Luna would get mad at me for saying that I hate him, but right now I have a very strong dislike for the man. She doesn't like when I say I hate people because she says hating someone is also harmful to you. And if you really disliked them, giving them power and energy through your hate is wasteful. Maybe, but this prick just ruined my morning.

After a long shower, I put on jeans and a t-shirt then do everything else I need for getting ready. Then I head downstairs where I left my earpiece and contact and quickly put both in before heading to the backyard where Luna sits on the lounge chair and looks out to the beach, seemingly lost in deep thought.

"Hey, Honey Tots," I greet, laying on the lounge chaise with her.

Her eyes widen in horror. "Carter that has to be the worst nickname yet."

I laugh as I pull her into my arms and kiss the side of her neck. For 15 minutes we sit in comfortable silence, neither one of us saying anything. I don't think either of us knows what to say.

Our moment is interrupted when Anna calls with the location of the meet. A little cafe on the strip by the beach. Jake immediately calls it in, getting a team in position.

When Luna stands up is when I actually notice her outfit. What the hell does she have on? A short emerald skirt barely falls past her ass and the top is nothing but a thin white bra. Her sneakers are cute though and for some reason, this whole outfit is turning me on. This is exactly why I don't want anyone else to see her like this.

"Luna, please tell me what you are wearing."

She shrugs and takes my hand pulling me along. "One of the girls picked it out and I liked it."

"I like it, but only here or maybe in the bedroom with a little striptease," I grumble.

When we get to the door, Luna stops and turns to me, cupping my face and kissing my cheek. "You can be overprotective later, my handsome behemoth."

I roll my eyes and guide her out so we can make it to the cafe on time.

Arriving at the location, I help Luna out of the car then guide her inside. "You ready to wrap up the case?"

"Yes," she sighs putting on a smile for Anna and Alex who spot us and wave us over.

We walk up to the table and take the two seats across from them. Luna immediately jumps in and I don't miss the way this prick's eyes drag over her body. I'm going to hurt someone before the day is over and it's going to be Luna's fault.

"So let's get right to it," Luna starts gesturing to the guy in front of us.

He smirks. "A woman after my own heart."

I wrap my arm around Luna and pull her closer to my side, letting the man know that she is off-limits. Especially to a drug dealer. "We just want the drugs."

The guy glares at me. I glare back. "Why should I give them to you?"

Luna glares at me and I'm really tired of her doing that. "I'm sorry, he's a little possessive," Luna says, her voice dropping seductively low as she rests her elbows on the table and leans forward. "We just want a little stress reliever."

"Sex doesn't work?" I don't miss that stupid smirk on his face.

Growling, I drag my hand over Luna's clavicle down to her breast. "The sex works fine. More than fine."

Even though we've never had sex.

The boy in front of us rolls his eyes. "I have the drugs if you guys have the money."

"We have the money," Luna replies.

If I have to spend five more minutes with this idiot, I am pulling Luna out of here and telling the team to move in. We have enough evidence to arrest and convict.

The boy nods and pulls out a backpack, unzipping a pocket to reveal a bag of drugs. I notice Luna's eyes widen at the amount. She's cute, but I've seen 10 times more than that.

I give the boy the bag of money and watch him go through it. Then he nods and slides the bag of drugs over to me. The moment he stands our team closes in.

Jake approaches us taking the bag from me and putting me in handcuffs a little too forcefully. My jaw ticks and Luna looks at me cautiously as she is put in cuffs as well. He guides us out of the café and puts Anna, Alex, and the boy into a car before driving off. Once they are gone Jake undoes the cuffs. The second mine is off I clench my fist ready to punch him, but Luna catches me before I can get it up.

"Thank you guys for your help," Jake says holding his hand out to us.

Luna shakes it first and I reluctantly follow when she squeezes my wrist. Right now I just want to go home, watch tv and hold Luna in my arms. But we have paperwork to fill out.

It takes two hours for us to finally get back home where I want to be. We sit out in the backyard by the beach, watching the water and enjoying the cool breeze coming off of it. Eventually, we head back in, eat dinner and watch tv until we both go to our respective bedrooms to sleep.
