His Forsaken Luna-Chapter 21: Loss Of Control

His teasing touch and his threat incited a shiver down my spine. My lips part as my heat spikes. Ice and fire course through me, spiralling across my veins, in my blood, battling with temptation.

Eryx’s pupils widen, and he inhales deeply beside my head before his lips slide down my cheek, tickling my skin before they roughly crash against mine. A light moan erupts between my lips at the sparks zapping from his dominating lips; his hand grips the back of my neck as he possessively claims me. The world around us blurs as the very centre of me is focused on this beast fighting for dominance, teeth and tongues colliding, hands exploring.

Any control I had slipped from my being as his scent overpowered me. My breath quickened, sinking deeper into this intoxication, unravelling, piece by piece, under his touch. I panted for more like an animal in heat, needy, desire grasping painfully in my lower belly. The touch of his solid muscles straining against his clothes makes my knees weak.

As though he sensed it, Eryx placed a knee between my thighs, holding me up. My fingers slip into the back of his black locks, tugging slightly, smiling against his lips as he nips on mine, and a growl vibrates against me to my rough touch.

His hand explores down, caressing my breast, inciting a gasp from my lips as he pinches my nipple. His lips broke into a half-smile, a dangerous kind of amusement flickering in his eyes as my body responded helplessly to his touch. I tugged on him harder, my body curving into him and away from the wall, but he pinned me back with his other hand, dominating the moment. His hips roll into me, knee offering some pressure against my core.

A whimper later and Eryx’s lips drag away from mine, his teeth glide along my neck to my collarbone, sucking on the sensitive area. Every nerve in my body screamed for more, for him, even as I tried to keep a grip on reality, the back of my mind reminding me I did not like this man.

Still, my hips roll against his thigh, my mind lost on the feel of him and the sparks shooting between us. His lips claimed mine again, pressing into me at full force.

"Alpha." Someone cleared their throat behind Eryx.

"Not now!" Eryx snarled his frustration over his shoulder before his lips were on mine again.

"I have that report for you." The intruder added, his voice more steely. How courageous to speak to the Alpha Prince like so.

Eryx froze, biting on my bottom lip, breathing heavily. His half-lidded gaze blinked a few times, dilated pupils flickering and returning to normal. Like a spell had been lifted, Eryx glowered at me.

His breathing turned into a rumble that caused the fine hairs on the back of my neck to stand on end. His large hand wraps around my throat, eyes narrowing. Tension crackled between us, both hot and suffocating, while the intensity of those striking eyes made it harder to breathe than any hand partially blocking my airways.

"It appears you plan to seduce me anytime you are in the wrong or in need of distracting me." His enchanting eyes flick between mine as he snaps, "I do not mind. But we are in public."

My breathing is still ragged while trapped in the alcove between the wall and his body and those pale green eyes. "You... came onto... me," I breathed, trying to control the desire still pooling between my thighs and the itch to touch him again so we may continue.

It is the heat. There is nothing more to this.

Eryx leaned closer, glaring, his nose wrinkling. "Because you cannot control your heat. It has been made clear you will need to be regularly helped-"

My hand collided with his face, but the slap was not satisfying. He’d moved too quickly for it to land a full hit. "I do not need your help."

"Oh, Princess, you clearly do." His voice was a low growl, thick with amusement and warning. He glared back down at me. We were so close our breaths mingled together.

His eyes dipped low to my lips, and my tongue darted out, licking some of the blood away from my bottom lip, almost shivering at the taste of him. When did I become so aggressive and ecstatic by his roughness? Unlike the time before, I was very much aware of what had just happened between us. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

A low rumble vibrated through to my chest from Eryx’s. "Better me to take you than a drunkard below. Or do you not care who has you?"

My hand rose again, but he caught it this time. He nipped my hand, a quirk lifting one side of his lips. "Keep flirting with me, my love, and see how quickly I will take it upon myself to help you. Public or not," he drawled.

The sharp ends of his canines incite a gasp from me before I tug my hand back, thrilled and annoyed by my body’s reaction to this beast. I glared up at him, the heat coiling between us; like a compulsion, he drew closer, pupils dilating again, but he blinked it away and glared back at me.

"Enough," he snapped and yanked my hood over my features more. "You should do better to conceal yourself. It was too easy to locate you."

Abruptly, the Alpha Prince turned from me, stalking away, brimming with power and anger. He stopped by his guard and listened to his report while I soaked up the sudden distance between us. The air was lighter, and I could breathe better, yet I yearned for him to be closer. The sudden coldness of his absence struck me more than I wanted to admit.

I groaned in annoyance and picked up the book I’d dropped on the ground, placing it gently on the table, my face turned down, red coating my cheeks in embarrassment as Sverre strolled toward me and whistled. "Was not expecting that."

Neither was I.
