THE FORGOTTEN LUNA novel Chapter 37

ADESSA.

I wiped the drool from the corner of my lips and scooted my body closer to the warmth I was hugging. I was already being pulled back to sleep when I realized I was leaning on a hard torso. I didn’t mind it at first, as I was so used to this position until it dawned on me that I didn’t have the privilege to do this anymore.

My eyes snapped open, and I tilted my head up only to meet Kael’s gaze. He was already looking at me.

Did he see me wipe my drool? Or worse, did my saliva drip onto his chest?

“Hi…” I mumbled, but my hand quickly covered my mouth. I didn’t want him to smell my morning breath, but he was not even bothered at all by the looks of it.

He smiled broadly at me before he winked, making my forehead crease.

What was the wink for?

Kael didn’t move and remained looking at me, the wide smile still plastered on his face.

Until it slowly sank into me why he was smiling too much.

Half of my body was almost on top of him. My arms were wrapped around him, and one leg was coiled around his hips, resting on top of his crotch, which I was certain was hard.

He had a hard-on.

But then, it was natural for men to have a morning wood when they woke up, so I was the one who made this position awkward.

I smiled sheepishly at him, scrunching my nose as I removed my legs and arms away from him. “I’m sorry… I got too comfortable.”

“No, harm done. You’re not that heavy. I can still breathe.” He said before placing both arms under his head while I lay completely on my back and stared at the ceiling.

Why did we end up in this position?

I remembered crying, and he hugged me, whispering consoling words. He promised he would get me out of this mess. I had no idea how, especially because he was an Alpha. Protecting a criminal would mean committing a crime against justice, too.

“I slept so well,” I mumbled, and all the while, I kept the beating of my heart steady.

“I think so if I base it on how the bed shook with your snoring.” He said before snickering, and the ambiance felt like home despite the room being too small and crowded for both of us.

Kael’s statement was so familiar. On days I asked him if I snored, he would always answer the same—whether it was a bed, a couch, or the car shaking.

It brought a smile to my lips. He couldn’t remember me or us, but he was subconsciously saying things he was used to.

“As much as I love the smile on your face, Miss Adessa, we need to start moving.”

“Where are we heading?”

“I’m taking you home,” he replied.
