The kiss grew more intense, and Hera’s instincts screamed for me to mate with him. 

I almost lost control, my fingers hovering over the buttons of his shirt. But at the last moment, I wrestled Hera’s impulses back into submission. 

We held each other, locked in the heat of the moment, kissing passionately for what felt like forever before finally pulling apart. 

Dizzy and breathless, I realized I was still wrapped in Benjamin’s arms. Blushing, I playfully clenched my fist and gave his chest a light punch. 

“You’re too much!” I scolded. 

Benjamin’s lips curled into a mischievous smile, and with deliberate intent, he tightened his hold on me, pulling us even closer. 

“I prefer to call it a genuine expression of emotions,” he teased, his tone low and provocative. “The body doesn’t lie. You didn’t push me away just now, which means you want me just as much as I want you. Am I wrong?” 

I bit down on my lower lip, my sudden shyness leaving me at a loss for words. 

He leaned in, his voice a whisper against my ear. “Waiting is unbearable. I want nothing more than to declare you my Luna officially. Then, under the blessing of the Moon Goddess, we can mate… and mark each other.” 

“What?” 

We were so close I could feel the heat of his body–and the unmistakable hardness against me. My cheeks flamed. 

Ignoring Hera’s irritated protests, I shoved him away with all my strength and quickly put some distance between us. 

Benjamin seemed to realize he’d gone too far. Clearing his throat awkwardly, he lowered his gaze. “Let’s head back. It’s getting late, and you need rest.” 

“Okay.” I nodded emphatically and practically bolted into the car, sliding into the back seat like a startled rabbit. 

The drive home was silent, but the tension hung thick between us. Every so often, we’d catch each other’s gaze in the rearview mirror, neither of us daring to say a word but communicating volumes with our eyes. 

When we reached my house, Benjamin didn’t linger. He saw me to the door, then left without saying much. 

The next day, Benjamin took me to a project bidding event.

When it was Benjamin’s turn to present his bid, a commotion broke out near the entrance. Someone had decided to interrupt and force their way into the proceedings. 

Undeterred, Benjamin calmly announced his bid, a figure that left the entire room stunned. “Ten billion dollars.” 

The weight of his authority and the Midnight Pack’s influence silenced any potential challengers. No one dared to compete, not with someone of Benjamin’s stature.
