Once Rejected, Twice Desired (Book 1 of Blue Moon Series)
Once Rejected, Twice Desired Chapter 55

Alexi POV

The days passed by pretty quickly, and before I knew it, it was Saturday morning. I was in my room putting a few last minute things in my overnight bag before Alaia, and I was scheduled to get on the road. I was both nervous and excited to go back to my old pack; I had truly missed them, but I was also embarrassed by my behavior the last time I was there. But I had to face them so I could move on.

Aaron's first order as Alpha had been to banish me from the pack, but after we made up earlier in the week, he reversed the banishment, allowing me the opportunity to return.

When I was finished packing, I grabbed my stuff and headed to the door.

Alaia was leaving her room at the same time, so I grabbed her bag and slung it over my back before taking her hand and leading her downstairs.

"Are you excited about our road trip? I've got the best 'road trip' playlist prepared for us," she said with a huge smile on her face.

"I've got to drive for three-plus hours through the mountains in the rain. Not really my idea of the best road trip, but because it's with you, yes, I am excited."

Xander was at the bottom of the stairs when we arrived, trying to settle a heated dispute between two pack members. The two men were yelling back and forth over a small flower garden that lined their shared property line. One wanted to plant roses; the other wanted daisies. And Xander looked like he was one second away from murdering them both.

Alaia saw the situation escalating and stepped up to the group, taking Xander's hand. "Good morning, gentlemen."

"Good morning, Luna," they both replied with slight nods of their heads.

"I couldn't help but overhear your conversation. It's quite the predicament, isn't it?"

"Yes, Luna, it is. But he's too boneheaded to listen to reason!"

"There's no need for all of that, Benjamin. Since I'm here, though, I was wondering. What do the two of you think of dahlias? They are a beautiful flower with the most amazing coloring. A perfect mix of roses and daisies, in my opinion."

She pulled out her phone and Googled "dahlias" before showing the pictures to the two.

The men looked surprised for a moment before one spoke. "That... sounds perfect, Luna. Thank you so much. I'll go grab some dahlias right away!"

"You're very welcome. I'm happy I could help."

Both men rushed from the house, excited for the idea given to them by their Luna, and ready to make it happen.

"Thank the goddess you came down when you did, little one. I was really going to kill them. Or just banish them from the pack. I don't have time for s**t like this!" Xander said, clearly frustrated.

Alaia placed her hands on his face and pulled him down for a kiss.

"What's wrong, babe? You handle stuff like this all the time. What's different now?" He heaved a breath before he pulled her into a hug and buried his nose in her hair.

I knew what was wrong before he even said anything. This would be his first time without Alaia since they had become mates. And it's tough for a wolf to be without their mate, even if it is only for twenty-four hours. Xander wanted to be supportive of her spending time away with me, but this was proving to be harder than he thought.

"I'll just miss you, that's all. But I don't want to keep you from seeing your family, either."

"I'll be back tomorrow, Xander. It won't be that long. Maybe have a night out with Kade and Matt to occupy your mind. I'm sure you guys can replace something to get into that won't get you or anybody else killed, right?"

He laughed, then nodded his head. "Yeah, I'm sure we can figure something out. But you call me if you need me for anything, okay? Alastair can get me there in an hour if I push him. I'll come straight away, no questions asked."

"I'm going to my old pack, not a third world country. I'm sure I'll be fine. You don't have to worry. But I will FaceTime you tonight before bed. How's that?" "Naked FaceTime."

Alaia laughed. "Fine, naked FaceTime. Now, we've got to get on the road if we want to miss the traffic. It's already going to be slowed down thanks to the rain. Please don't kill any of my pack while I'm gone; I'm pretty attached to them all breathing. Okay?" "Fine. Let me walk you guys out."

Xander took Alaia's hand as we made our way to the garage. He had purchased her a red Range Rover Sport as a belated birthday gift that she had never gotten the chance to drive. We decided that we'd use the trip home as her opportunity to break it in. He helped her into the passenger seat while I tossed the bags in the back, then went to get behind the wheel.

"Mrs. Dyson put together some food for you guys, so you don't have to worry about stopping along the way. I had it placed in the backseat. Be careful, and call me when you get there, okay?"

"Stop fussing, Xander. We will be fine. I'll talk to you in a few hours." She leaned over to give him a quick kiss before she lightly pushed him back and closed the door. She rolled down the window and said, "Go do some work, Mr. Alpha. You won't even know I'm gone." "I'll keep her safe, man. We'll see you tomorrow." I waved before I slowly pulled out of the garage.

Before I was all the way down the driveway, Alaia had turned around to see what goodies we had packed for us. She pulled a substantial insulated bag to the front seat and stuck her head almost all the way inside while rummaging around.

It was so cute watching how excited she was over the food.

She finally pulled her head back and looked at me with the biggest smile. "Sausage, egg, and cheese croissants, strawberries, orange juice, and cream cheese danishes. She also packed some raw veggies, chips, sandwiches, and bottled water for lunch if the trip runs a little longer than expected."

"Sounds great. And I'm starving, so I guess you have to feed me."

"Why? You have two hands, and I've got to use my own to feed myself."

"Because you, my dear, are precious cargo that I have vowed to keep safe. I can't risk driving with one hand through the mountains in the rain! So, strawberry, please."

She rolled her eyes at me before she pulled the container from the bag and opened it up. She picked up a big dark strawberry and brought it to her lips before sinking her teeth into it. Juices ran down her chin and dripped onto her chest, begging me to lick them

off.

"You're being really mean right now, angel. Not only are you not sharing, but you're also making it hard for me to keep my eyes on the road." "Pull over then."

I looked over at her to see if she was serious. "We've only been driving five minutes, baby."

"Oh, well. More strawberries for me, I guess." She picked another up and slowly teased her tongue around the tip before nipping it off.

"They are delicious, too. So sweet and juicy."

I was going to drive us off a cliff for sure if she kept this up, I had no doubt about it. There was a small clearing up ahead, so I quickly pulled in, put the car in park, and shut off the engine.

"Just so you know, angel, as soon as Max is gone, I'm going to f**k you so hard you won't be able to walk straight for days."

Her golden eyes met mine as she bit into another strawberry. "Promises, promises." She was so sexy like this. So confident and aware of the effect she was having on me.

"Give me a bite now."

Alaia took another from the container and gently bit into it before leaning forward and offering the other end to me.

I sunk my teeth into the delicious fruit and imagined the juices that exploded in my mouth and coated my tongue were hers. I reached over and unbuckled her seatbelt before pulling her to straddle me. "What's with this mouth you've got now? You've gotten much feistier than I remember, angel."

"Yeah? And what do you plan to do about it?"

I pulled her dress up over her hips and dipped my hand between her thighs.

She was warm and wet already, and I wanted nothing more than to plunge my d**k deep inside her.

I grabbed the back of her head and pulled her forward, shoving my tongue down her throat. The combination of strawberries and her sweet honey was intoxicating, and I wanted more. Before I knew it, I had snatched her panties from her body and dropped them to the floor of the truck. I pulled back from the kiss and looked deep in her surprise-filled eyes. "I don't think you need those. Plus, they were getting in my way."

She just nodded and bit her bottom lip.

I found myself reaching over to the bowl and picking up another big firm strawberry. I ran it along the seam of Alaia's full lips, then down her neck and across her throat. I then brought it to my lips and rolled it on my tongue before I dropped my hand and began to rub the berry up and down her weeping slit. I could feel her juices leaking from her and coating my fingers. The car filled with the scent, and I wanted to bottle it and keep it for always. I alternated between slipping between her lower lips and circling her clit. The seeds of the strawberry creating a sharp contrast to her smooth velvety skin.

"To answer your question, angel. This is what I'm going to do about that mouth of yours. I'm going to f**k you with this strawberry until you c*m all over it. Would you like that?"

Again, she just nodded while her eyes slowly shut, and her head fell back. She reached behind her and held onto the steering wheel as she began to rock and grind on my hand.

I changed angles before I plunged my makeshift s*x toy deep inside her p***y. The sounds of my fingers moving in and out of her mixed with our heavy breathing and the rain beating down on the roof created an overly erotic symphony. I began to twist and spin the strawberry, wanting the little bit of roughness to tease her sensitive walls. "Mmm, you're so f*****g tight, angel. I love it. I love having my fingers inside you." I increased my speed and intensity and pulled her in for another kiss.

Her moans and screams of pleasure were mine and mine alone, and with our mouths locked together, I ate them all up.

"Are you close, baby?"

"Yes... so, so close..."

I removed my fingers and the berry and returned to rubbing it around and over her hypersensitive bundle of nerves.

Her back arched, and her legs began to shake as she tried to hold on.

"Don't hold back, angel," I whispered in her ear.

With her last bit of sanity about to snap, I pulled her toward me and sucked, licked, and gently bit down on the spot my mark would one day reside.

"f**k, Lex! That's so good, baby."

I clamped my mouth on her neck and bit down again, not enough to break the skin, but just enough to push her over the edge.

She screamed and shook as the climax washed over her, wave after wave wrecking her body.

"That's it, baby. So f*****g beautiful," I cooed while looking into her beautiful hooded eyes.

She rocked and bucked her hips, squeezing all the filthy satisfaction she could get out of the moment.

When she finally came down, I pulled my hand from between her legs and brought the strawberry to her lips. "Bite it. Taste how sweet you are, angel."

She bit into the strawberry and moaned, the mixture of the flavors exciting her even more.

I had to taste for myself. I took the remainder of the strawberry into my mouth, and when it touched my tongue, a deep growl bubbled from my chest. This adventure had ruined strawberries forever for me. I could never enjoy them again unless they were covered in her flavor. I stared her in the eye as I sucked each of my fingers dry, savoring every last bit of her cream. Not wanting to be done, I took two fingers and quickly reached down and swiped them along the length of her opening and over her c**t once more before bringing them back to my hungry waiting mouth. "Nothing in this world can compare to how incredible you taste, baby."

After my fingers were thoroughly cleaned, I pulled her down for one last kiss, swapping her essence between the two of us. I eventually released her lips and lifted her up, placing her back in her seat.

She was in that post-orgasmic haze, so I reached over and buckled her seatbelt before starting the car again and pulling back onto the road.

"Now, angel, are you going to be a good girl and feed me as I asked, or am I going to need to pull the car over again?"

"Mhmm," was all she said.

I glanced over and saw her nodding her head while she pulled more food from the bag.

If I could make her speechless with just my fingers and a strawberry, she wasn't ready for what was going to happen when she was finally wrapped around my d**k.

I'd tame that sexy little mouth of hers, and every other part of her along with it.
