When they touch me (Shelagh Milano) novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93
ARTEMISIA

“You don’t have to worry about making too much of a fuss. You would deserve it, but I respect your wish not to do so,” Cayden says, leaning against the door.

I love how we just sat down, blocking the door to my bedroom while leaning against it.

“We could tell everybody at the ball,” he offers, making me scrunch up my nose.

“How is that not making a fuss?”

He chuckles, caressing my thigh, “We have to announce it in a bit more spectacular way though. It’s not like we can just make it happen and expect people to find out by themselves.”

“I know,” I sigh, leaning my head against his shoulder. “It’s just a lot, and I still haven’t talked to my parents properly about everything. And now I’m going to be a Luna.”

Kissing my hair, he manages to make me feel protected already. “How about we invite them and we speak to them together? You have a lot of twins in your family. I’m sure they will understand. Maybe we can tell them that there will be a coronation and marking ceremony soon which they will be invited to, and I’m sure they will be happy for you. I know how much they love you.”

Closing my eyes, I smile, “Yeah, they do.”

After a moment of silence, I finally get the question that was buzzing around in my head from my chest. “How is it going to work anyway? Is there some kind of protocol?”

“You are cute,” he laughs, caressing my side as he lays his arm around me. “But there is no protocol. It’s quite new for us too, so don’t worry. We will go through everything together.”

He clears his throat, shifting in his seating position to turn himself more towards me. “We will have a beautiful ceremony where you will be crowned Luna and we get the blessing of the Moon Goddess for your mating with all of us.”

“We aren’t going to do nasty things in front of everyone, right?” I ask, scrunching up my nose.

“No,” he cracks up, the sound of his happy laughter making me smile. “No, darling. We will mark you and you us in a more private circle. And you get to choose who will be first, but the order doesn’t really matter.”

I nod, biting the inside of my cheek. “What about Fynn’s mark?”

He sighs, leaning his head back against the door. “I will talk to Corvina about it to be sure, but maybe he should go last, in order for you to be already strengthened by our marks to withstand his.”

“I can’t wait!” I say, getting him to smile again.

Lifting his hand, he caresses a strand of hair out of my face. “Me too.”

He leans in to kiss me softly, and I sigh happily as he breaks the kiss again.

This is just amazing.
