Chapter 40 - Both-The First.....

Reece

~~

We moved around the room. I spun her around a few tis. But mostly, I held her close staring into her eyes, as we moved gently around the floor. I was looking into her eyes closer and more intently than I had ever really done before. I noticed that she didn't just have that bright sky-blue color, there was also a dark blue ring inside that, and yet inside that was a thin golden ring around the pupil. She had a triple iris.

"Kiss her!" I heard Riley yell at . I glared at him, but it was too late. The chanting had started.

"Kiss her, kiss her, kiss her!"

I looked at her, hoping she knew that I wished I didn't have to do this, but we had to play along. I took my hand from hers and slid it up her arm and to the back of her head. I tilted her head back into my palm and leaning down I placed my lips on hers.

I took advantage of her gasp. I slid my tongue into her slightly open mouth, forcing it open further. The taste of her exploded on my tongue. It was like eating her scent. I could taste warm, freshly baked apple pie one second. The next second, I could taste the air before a thunderstorm. The ozone and slight electrical charge that filled the air right before the storm started.

I used my grip on the back of her head and her lower back to pull her closer to and up onto her toes. I felt her hands grip my shirt tightly, I wasn't sure if it was with fear or desire. I didn't care. At that mont my wolf was ruling , and I couldn't stop myself.

I heard applause and whistling explode in the room around us. The sound brought back to my senses. With a growl I let her go abruptly. So abruptly that she nearly fell, and I had to reach out to steady her.

"I'm glad you stopped there, man, we don't have any sprinklers installed in case of fire." Riley said laughing. I glared at him. It was not that great of a kiss. I tried to convince myself as my wolf called insane.

The party continued on for a little while longer, but Riley and I had business we needed to discuss, so I asked Little Bunny to stay put right where she was while I was gone. She promised she would, so I accompanied Riley to his office upstairs. This Alpha House was not as large as my own. So, I wouldn't be that far away.

"I was surprised when I saw that you have a mate that you truly care about now." Riley comnted when we were inside. I wasn't going to correct him. He was one of the people I wanted to convince the most. He didn't need to know the truth. But I really didn't know why he thought I cared about her so much.

"You know how it is." I joked with him.

"Yeah, I just never thought you would." He joked with . "Try not to blow it, alright man."

I was beyond shocked when I got to this new territory and found out they were throwing us a mate party. I guess it was kind of like an engagent party. Most of the people in the pack run by Reece's cousin were here. And it was overwhelming to be introduced to them so soon.

Then, his cousin said he had to see our firsts, wanting to see our first dance in his territory. Well little did he know that it would be our first dance ever. Reece was a surprisingly good dancer. He took my hand and started moving us around the floor in perfect beat as Speechless played over the speakers. He was staring at intently as I stared back, like he was morizing my face or sothing.

The next thing I knew, they were chanting for him to kiss . This was too much. We had never kissed, I had never kissed anyone ever. Reece and I were never ant to kiss. And here we were expected to do so in front of all of them. I couldn't do it. But Reece ignored my distress as he slid his hand up my arm and to the back of my head. He pulled to him as he leaned down and kissed .

His lips pressed against mine. Hot and unyielding. What surprised though, wasn't the pressure or intensity of his kiss. It was the intense electrical shock that seed to flow through my whole body as he kissed hard. I gasped as the shock ran through .

He took my gasp as an invitation. His tongue slid into my mouth, conquering it for his own. His tongue slid across mine and I felt a fire blaze deep within . He moved his tongue around my mouth as if he were trying to eat , starting at my mouth. I thought of Little Red Riding Hood montarily, and just what it would be like to be eaten by this particular big bad wolf.

I grabbed his shirt to hold on as he lifted onto my toes. I was terrified by the fire leaping inside of , it felt like it was going to burn from the inside out. But my body was very excited at the feel of his mouth on mine. If I had a wolf, she would have been howling at that mont. I imagined what it would sound like.

I could hear the whistling and cheering around us. That brought back to my senses. And judging by how quickly Reece let go, it brought him back to his just as fast. I could see heat in his eyes, but there was anger clear on his face as well. He was mad, and it almost seed like it was directed at .

Not long after the kiss, Reece and Riley needed to go discuss their business in the office. I was ordered to not leave the spot where I stood. I promised him, not wanting to receive the brunt of his anger from before.

Not long after Reece left, I was surrounded by people. Several females from this pack ca to talk to .

"That sure was sothing, Luna." One pretty girl about my age said.

"I thought I was going to lt just watching." Another said as she fanned her face. I blushed at their words.

"You're one lucky girl." I saw a very pretty girl say as she looked at with envy. "We all had hoped that Alpha Reece would have to co here to find a mate." She sneered while laughing.

"Yeah, I just lucked out." I laughed nervously.

"Alright, give her space ladies." Katie, Riley's mate, said as she ca to my rescue. Katie was pregnant, not as far along as Heather, but seeing her made think of Vincent and their baby. I was worried about them all.

"Excuse, I need to make a call." I mumbled, excusing myself from the group. Reece would never know I left if I made it back before him.

I walked to the entry hall by the front door and then out into the night. I wanted privacy for this call, Vincent's business was not their business. When I was outside and leaning against Reece's stupidly expensive car, I pulled out my phone and opened my contact list. Vincent was at the top since I needed to call him to escort frequently, I pressed his na and waited while the phone rang. He answered on the fourth ring.

"Hello Luna, is sothing wrong?" His voice was filled with concern for when he should have been focusing on Heather.

"No, everything is fine. Reece is in a eting and I was worried about you and Heather. Truth be told, the Luna of this pack is expecting as well, and she made think of you two. I hope I am not intruding."

"No, you're not intruding. I am happy that you were thinking of us. Heather is resting. They have managed to stop the contractions for now. They do not know what caused them, but as long as she takes it easy from now on, she should have no problems. As long as she makes it another two weeks the doctors will have no worries."

"That is great to hear." I told him. I was so happy and relieved to hear that. Things should hopefully be alright. I heard a branch snap sowhere in the trees near the house. It was nowhere near , so I paid it no mind.

"Luna, if you don't mind asking, besides calling , what are you doing while you are waiting for the Alpha?" He asked, concern once again in his voice.

"I was talking to the pack mbers, but then I thought of you, so I stepped out for a mont."

"Outside?"

"Yeah." I answered him.

"Alone?"

"It's just for a few minutes. I'll be back before Reece even knows I left." I told him. "I didn't think that the mbers of this pack needed to know your business. It's your personal matter after—."
