Chapter 626 The gravity of being a Luna (1)
Cornelia changed her wet clothes in the back of the white Lexus, and James waited outside, his fingers itchy to open the door and get in with her. He really wanted to see her changing; well not exactly changing clothes, it was mostly about removing her clothes but he controlled himself.
James was also wet, so he went into the car after Cornelia was done and she waited outside. He hoped she will stay inside, but she was avoiding his gaze nervously, and suddenly he became aware of how that back seat and tinted glass will provide privacy. And just like that, he was hard again. Damn!
He was done in a minute, and then he found the bag where Cornelia kept the dress she wore previously, and he took a few deep breaths to inhale her scent that lingered there. Even when it was wet with a hint of fish, it was still fantastic. He knew it made him look like a creep, but he couldn't stop himself.
Dazed by her scent, the moment James exited the car, he pulled Cornelia into his embrace and kissed her senselessly until their lips were numb, right there in the parking lot of the Aquarium. James knew kissing won't be enough as he really wanted to make love to her, and the way she melded into him told him that she wanted the same. Oh, and then there was the scent of her arousal that confirmed without a doubt that her body wanted to be explored... but James knew that this was as far as they can go, so he stopped himself. For now.
After that, James and Cornelia had lunch in an Italian restaurant that was on the seventh floor and it provided a wonderful panoramic view of the city.
Next was the museum of history, and James bought them ice cream while they walked downtown. Chocolate for him and raspberry for her.
Cornelia loved the ice cream, but she didn't approve of the concrete jungle. They were outside, yet it was stuffy and noisy, and her connection with nature was severed. She wondered how humans could live like that.
To lighten up the mood, James led the way to a park where Cornelia removed her shoes and walked on the grass happily. Park had a merry-go-round, benches where older people played chess, and a playground for kids. Cornelia observed all that with curiosity.
James took Cornelia for dinner that was not too extravagant because they didn't wear fancy clothes, and they rounded their date with a movie.
Cornelia's eyes were open wide as they watched the latest sci-fi action movie. She was asking James questions about all those gadgets she saw there, making others shush them as James was explaining what the special effects are while ignoring the irritated movie-watchers around them. Annoying humans.
To Cornelia, things on the big screen looked like magic, especially lasers and teleportation gates.
When they returned to the packhouse, it was late, and after freshening up, Cornelia fell asleep quickly. She told him that she had fun and kissed him good night and that was all it mattered.
The date ended well, and James loved that he woke up first.
James greedily soaked in Cornelia's relaxed sleepy expression, and he wished that he could wake up like that every morning, with Cornelia in his arms. The raging boner was a bit of a problem and James used all of his will to control himself and not start grinding on her.
His gaze moved to her breasts which were rising and falling as she breathed. He swallowed hard. Could he touch her there and maybe lick a bit without waking her up? She slept in his t-shirt that was roomy and he could probably get his hand in there and she won't notice as long as he moves slowly.
James shook those thoughts away. She was beautiful, and her scent of the wild berries was driving him nuts, but he didn't want to act like a horny savage.
As if she could feel his hungry stare on her, Cornelia's eyes fluttered open, and she smiled, that small action made James' heart sing. Even when she was drowsy, her instinct was to smile at him. Wasn't that beautiful?
During his sixteen years of existence, James' sister was not present, his mother was indifferent, and his father would mostly give him frowns, yet here was Cornelia… smiling. It was so simple, yet it made him happy beyond belief.
"Good morning, Cora.", he said in a singing voice while tightening his hold on her.
"Mhm…", she hummed in response, too lazy to say anything, and other than her lips puckering when he kissed her, she didn't move a muscle.
Cornelia's eyes closed slowly, and James thought that she will sleep more, but then she asked, "What's the time?"
"It's almost time for breakfast."
Cornelia yawned. "We should get ready and eat. Did you plan something for today?"
James' heart skipped a beat. She wanted to spend another day with him! It's not that James was doubting it will happen, he made plans for the next three days. However, considering how the last few days went, James thought that he will need to persuade her first. This was definitely progress.
…
On the third floor of the packhouse, Damon stared at Talia who was waking up.
He was up for a while and he discussed with Sapa the best approach to tell Talia that he didn't approve of her actions, without upsetting her. What if the black magic in her was triggered again? Damon wanted to talk to Talia last night, but she was too happy and he decided to leave it for the morning. Well, it's morning.
Talia blinked herself awake before greeting him, "Good morning, handsome."
"Good morning, kitten."
"What's wrong?" She could feel that he was struggling with something.
Damon pressed his lips into a line. He didn't want to spoil the mood, but he didn't want to keep it in either.
Sapa told him that the only way to deal with it is to talk about it because postponing things will make them pile up and form a big one, and then just a talk might not be enough.
"I am concerned about the oath.", Damon said.
Talia didn't get it. "What about it?"
"If you don't want your guards to protect you, then it will be better that you don't have any." There, he said it.
Talia pushed herself into a seated position. She knew what Damon was talking about. "I didn't mean to make an oath, Damon. It just happened."
Damon also sat up and faced Talia. "Our word is our bond, especially in front of our pack members and in front of other Alphas. Whatever you say, you need to mean it."
"But I do mean it.", Talia responded. "I don't think that my life is more valuable than any other."
Damon frowned. "This is not about lives. This is about our pack. I know they are your friends and if anything happens to them, you will grieve, and so will their friends and family, and the whole pack will honor them for the price they paid in the line of duty. But do you have any idea what will happen if you die?"
