Chapter 35: Iris Crescent

Thirty-five

Iris Crescent

I was going to have sex for the first time. I was going to become Malaki Crescent’s mate forever. The immortal world wouldn’t just be his. It would be mine too. And my place in it would be right beside him, as his mate. “Luna” was the word werewolves used for an Alpha’s mate. I would have to get used to that, I supposed. But if it meant being with Malaki, I would do whatever it took.

Malaki had carried me to the bed bridal style. Now, he was straddling me, with a look of want in his eyes. When I first saw that look, I thought that he hated me. But I understood that look for what it was. I understood that it was a look of desire. Malaki’s knee went in between my thighs. “I’m going to undress you, sweetheart,” he said, “but before we get started, I just want to ask do you want me to use a condom? I know we’re both clean because we haven’t been with anyone.”
