Chapter 43

She is brazen. Far more seductive and playful than she has been before. But that’s what’s so awe–inspiring about Colette. How quickly she adapts and changes. How the moment her strength grew, her personality developed, revealing the true Luna beneath the once reserved and scared maid.

She has always been pretty, but there is something about a woman who has come into her own that is utterly spellbinding. I watch her every move with complete interest, soaking in every second as she lavishes her body. with warm, healing water. The way she dips her head back and her hair tumbles into the water, the way her muscles tense and release as she reaches up to her tie her hair up in a bun, the wet strands dripping down her

soft skin.

I am a goner. Not that I wasn’t aware of this much earlier. No, I knew early on I was in trouble with her. But watching her now, experiencing her confidence and her strength in one display of power over me, well, it’s damni intoxicating. I’ve never wanted anyone to be stronger than me before, to have a hold on me like the mate bond has done, but this is far beyond that.

The mate bond is nothing compared to love. The pull of her, the way my body ripples with awareness every time I notice her eyes on me, that was never there with Lauren. My body craved Lauren, but my heart and soul weren’t

in it.

Every fiber of my being craves the woman before me. Those brown eyes, that silky skin and that smart ass mouth are mine. All mine, and there’s not a damn thing I wouldn’t give up for her if she asked me to. I’d lay my life down for her, and it’d be the easiest thing I’d ever done.

“What are you thinking about?” Her sweet voice echoes through the room. A smile breaking over my lips as our eyes meet.

“About how much you have changed and how much I just want to touch you.” I tell her truthfully and she blinks, “clearly caught off guard.

“That won’t make me forgive you faster,” she says with the tiniest frown tugging at her lips.

“Make me suffer my whole life with you at my side,” I shrug. “It won’t change the truth I just gave you.”

«ЛЮНИТ

“I don’t want you to suffer.” She says, looking disappointed. “I want you to understand what it feels like to have no control.”
