His Blue Moon Princess
His Sunshine Baby Chapter 24

What the...! What is he doing here! I turn around and walk up to him, pushing him away. Is he crazy!

"What are you thinking! You shouldn't be here!"

"Don't worry, I told them I needed to get to the bathroom too," he answers me calmly.

I shake my head. What kind of stupid excuse is that, this guy is way too confident and full of himself! And I hate that stupid grin of his, too! I look behind his shoulder in the doorway, but I can hear the muffled sounds of the group still discussing. Looks like nobody's paying attention to our absence, for now.

"Seriously, Nate, if someone sees us..!"

He steps aside and closes the door, looking finally serious.

"I needed to talk to you, alone."

"I can't. I mean, we can't be seen together like this. You're just...."

But before I can finish my sentence, he steps forward, and grabs my waist, pushing me against the wall behind me. I lose my breath under his electric-blue stare, as our faces get dangerously close. My whole body is tensed up by Nate's touch, burning hot already. I gasp, his lips only an inch away from mine. I can't avoid the lusty look he's giving me, I have no choice but to look at him.

"I want more."

His three words make my heart skip a beat. Oh, Moon Goddess... Think rationally, Elena, rationally. But before I can formulate any decent thought, I feel his hand going down on my leg, and he starts whispering.

"I mean it. I liked it, and I know you did too. I want to take you again, Elena. And don't you say no."

Why the hell can't I? I glare at him, frustrated. The inner battle is raging inside me, and he has no f*****g idea how I'm torn right now. I try to think of Danny, and every good reason I have to refuse him. And damn I have a lot.

"I don't want to be involved with you. I can't afford it. You're from the Blood Moon, and I'm from the White Moon. Even if this dinner is happening by some miracle, this doesn't change anything."

This time, he looks angry and frowns.

"I don't give a f**k about the packs, or your Alpha. I do whatever the hell I want, Elena, and I don't answer to anyone about who I'm seeing."

"Well, you may not care but I do! If my Alpha replaces out about us, I may be punished or banished! Don't you realize I'm the one at risk here?"

His expression softens, and his hand gently caress my back, venturing under my blouse to give me delicious chills. I can't hold a shiver, and this fever rising under my skin.

"Is that why you're refusing me? Do you think I would let you be banished? And your Alpha, no, your Clan doesn't need to know in the first place."

Damn him and his overconfidence! Can't he understand the place I'm in right now! But it's even harder to oppose him when his hands are quietly caressing me at the same time, one under my top and the other on my leg, and his whole body is cornering me against the cold wall.

I look for something to say, but his lips suddenly swoop on my neck, and my breathing goes more erratic under the kisses he lays there. When did he even undo my first button? I put my hand on his chest and, after a second of gathering whatever strength I have left, I push him away, forcing him to look at me.

"Weren't you the one who wanted a one-time thing, to begin with? You said we would be done after doing it once! One night and that was it, remember?"

He stays silent and expressionless for a second, and in that short while, I have the illusion he might have gone back to his senses. But all of a sudden, his hand suddenly ventures under my skirt and I gasp involuntarily, grabbing his wrist by reflex. That doesn't stop him one bit, though, as I feel his fingers venture underneath and start playing with my most vulnerable parts. He smiles upon feeling my moistness, and I blush unconditionally under this sweet t*****e.

"Who is it that doesn't want more?"

I bite my lip, annoyed at him. How dare he...! Of course I would be excited after he played with me like that! But he doesn't care about my frustration, and suddenly starts an intense, deep kiss.

I know I should fight him off, push him and his lips, his fingers away, but I don't. My body isn't acting rationally anymore. I'm overtaken by the pleasure, the sensations this man is giving me. I hold onto him, giving up to my desire and letting him do whatever he wants. Nate just keeps going, both with his devilish kisses and fingers moving actively under my skirt. I feel my legs going numb, and my hand tensing around his wrist. I try to keep up with his intense kiss, his lips playing, his tongue flirting with mine. When he switches from my lips to my neck, I try to catch my breath, but it's erratic and messed up by the pleasure he's giving me.

Moon Goddess, he is insane... I close my eyes, trying to control my voice. But I feel it coming, and soon enough, the movements of his fingers get more intense, driving me crazy. I whisper his name uncontrollably, again and again, like a quiet prayer. When I suddenly feel this familiar heatwave brutally hitting me, my whole body tenses up, and I relish in a muffled cry against his shoulder.

It takes a few seconds for me to get out of this trance, and calm down. Nate supports me and my numb legs while I go back to my senses, but neither of us says a thing. I just need to catch my breath, calm down and realize what the hell just happened. I must be crazy. In a few minutes, maybe five or ten, I let him give me a damn o****m in the bathroom!

"I hate you..." I mutter, with a voice less angry than I would want it to sound.

"Is that a yes?" He asks with a smirk.

"No."

"No to what? My question, or...?"

"I did not say yes."

He sighs and helps me walk next to the bathroom sink, as I want to rinse my face, and he washes his hands. I'm still not really thinking straight, half scandalized by what happened, and half lost in a post-orgasmic daze. He crosses his arms, staring at me with a complicated expression.

"What would it take? For you to say yes?"

"What would it take for you to give up?" I sigh.

"Oh please, Elena. You liked it. We both enjoy s*x with each other, why won't you admit it?"

"I enjoy the s*x, alright. What I don't like are all the risks that come with it!"

"What risks? We are not going public or having anything serious. Just strangers having fun once in a while. No need to let anyone know whatever is happening between us. No strings attached, no obligations."

He looks very composed and serious. I sigh. His arguments are starting to get into my head and I hate that. I have a hundred reasons to say no, yet I can't bring myself to refuse him, how insane is that? I put my hair back and check my appearance in the mirror while he waits. After a while, I just leave the bathroom, him following right behind me. I walk to the wine cellar, looking for any bottle. But Nathaniel grabs one first, and comes to face me again. My whole body reacts to his proximity again, and I step back. "So?" He asks, finally getting impatient.

"Let me think about it, ok?" I blurt out.

He frowns, but he seems balanced about it.

"How long?"

"What?"

"I'm not as patient as I look. When will you give me an answer?"

"Look, I'm not having this discussion in my Clan's basement, ok? Give me time to think about it and..."

"Sunday evening. Dine with me."

This time, I'm the one frowning, a bit surprised by his proposal.

"Dinner?"

"Yes. I'll show you I can keep your privacy and we can discuss this calmly. Isn't that what you wanted?"

"Yes, but..."

"Then it's settled. You'll be free to give me the answer you want, as long as you come to diner with me the day after tomorrow."

And with that, he turns around and leaves the cellar first. I can't believe it! When did I even agree to that idea of his! This is so frustrating!

I just swallow my anger and follow behind him, trying my best to conceal the hurricane of emotions overtaking me right now. When we walk back to the main room together, Isabel spots us first.

"It took you a while!"

Crap, I don't know how long we were gone for... How do I explain this? But Nathaniel actually speaks out first, very composed.

"My apologies, I run into miss Whitewood as she was going to your wine cellar and my curiosity got the best of me. Quite a nice selection you have down there!"

"Oh, really? Well, I do have a hobby of collecting fine bottles... Do you have a preference, M. Black? Personally, I have a soft spot for Portuguese ones..."

I can't believe he got away with such a lie! I'll have to remember how good he is at lying, that's for sure! I get back to my seat and decide to ignore him, hoping I don't look odd or anything. Thank Moon Goddess I checked myself in the mirror first. Aside from being a bit red on the cheeks, I should look fine. However, I notice Levi's intense stare from across the table.

Was that the truth? You only showed him the cellar?

s**t, why does Levi have to be so suspicious now... I try to keep myself as composed as I can. For a second, I wonder what would happen if I told him the truth, if I told him I actually had five minutes of intense pleasure with Nathaniel in that tiny bathroom... Just thinking about it makes my heartbeat go faster, so I settle on an answer before it becomes too obvious.

That's right. He was just acting curious about Isa's collection.

Awesome.

Now I'm a shameless liar as well.
