I Am His Luna

Chapter 21

I couldn’t say anything to blame him, so I could only nod.

“Then…”

He was about to say something else when I quickly cut him off, “Sleep.” I closed my eyes after that.

“You still want to sleep?” Enzo whispered behind me. “You’ve been asleep the entire day.” I ignored him, but my lips curled into a smile when I thought of his face behind me. I had no ways to describe my current feelings. It felt so sweet, like I had swallowed a spoonful of honey. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

I quickly fell into a deep slumber because I was injured and drenched by the rain. When the first rays of the morning sun shone on my face through the window, I opened my eyes.

I felt around the bed without much thought, but there was no sign of Enzo.

I was stunned for a moment before I heard running water in the bathroom.

Putting on my cotton slippers, I stepped on the wooden floor and tip-toed closer to the bathroom.

The bathroom door was frosted glass, but perhaps the hotel had ulterior motives in making it more visible than it should be.

I could faintly see the man in the shower through the glass and his tan and toned, muscular body.

My ears reddened, and I couldn’t help but recall the warmth of his chest pressed against my back last night and his well-defined muscles.

I directed my gaze away from him to the floor-to-ceiling window, taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly, trying to vent my desire toward Enzo with that breath.

The running water in the bathroom was cut off abruptly, and a drenched, muscular body pressed against my back soon after. “You’re awake?” Enzo’s voice was still raspy, as he pressed his chin against my shoulder. I nodded, hoping that my heart wouldn’t embarrass me by wildly beating like it was on steroids.

Enzo seemed to be obsessed with my body’s scent. He pushed his nose into my hair and sniffed gently then suddenly parted his lips to bite my earlobe. The arm he had wrapped around my waist wandered upwards, pulling me further into his body and completely closing the gap between us.

I let out a low grunt as he chuckled softly into my ear, gradually increasing the pressure of his arm.

I liked how close he was to me, but my principles wouldn’t allow anything beyond this to hannen under an awkward circumstance like this.

So, even though I wanted him as well, I stepped on his feet and broke out of his embrace, .

I turned to look at Enzo, wanting to warn him not to do anything else more intimate than this.

“You still don’t like me?”

Water droplets clung to his skin, dripping down his rock-hard packs slowly, and finally soaked into the white bath towel he had wrapped around his waist.

I gulped and looked away, not answering him.

In addition to the fatal temptation that I had towards him because of the mate bond, just based on his own charm and caring towards me, I couldn’t help but grow fond of him,

These feelings intensified drastically if I took in the fact that he was my mate.

But for some reason, I felt something strange between us, but I couldn’t put my finger on what it was.

It had nothing to do with the length of time I knew him. I just felt that a crucial link between us was missing, but I also couldn’t pinpoint what it was exactly.

Overall, while pleasing to a certain extent, this excessive intimacy also made me feel extremely uneasy.

I didn’t want to develop anything further with him until I figured out what was missing between us. This was definitely my self-defense mechanism at work

Enzo sighed, then walked to his closet and changed his clothes,

“Am I that unattractive?” he asked me.

I watched as he got dressed. Every inch of his skin seduced me, and he was naturally attractive.

There was never a man before this that could enchant me to this extent.

I suddenly realized that Enzo had led me around by the nose all this while. Frowning, after a long silence, I finally asked the man, who had put on his shirt, “Then… D-do you also. L-like

me?”

Enzo was tying his belt, and he paused at my words. After a few moments, he hooked his belt, met my eyes, and said, “Of course I like you. Why else would I keep pursuing you and not give up even after your rejection?”

“Then you… W-why do you like me?”

“Because you’re my mate!” Enzo replied without hesitation,

However, his words didn’t give me a sense of pleasure at all. I was even slightly annoyed by it, even though I didn’t know why.

We were mates, so we should be together. It was a natural statement to make in our position.

However, I frowned at the thought.

“What’s wrong?” Enzo came over to me and tried to hug me.

I took a big step back, turning my head away to avoid him.

“Are you unhappy?” Enzo was once again cautious as though he was afraid I would be upset.

I shook my head, tired of dealing with him. “Then, let’s go eat breakfast?”

Enzo tried to take my hand once more, but I shook him off as though his touch electrocuted me.

For a moment, my gaze was vicious.

Enzo blinked at me with apparent disbelief. His hand, which was reached out mid-air, clenched tightly. He suddenly sighed after a while. “Okay, I won’t touch you. I won’t touch you until you allow me to. So, stop resisting me, okay?” His last sentence came out as a plea. My breath caught tight at that and finally I nodded. “Then, let’s go eat. I’ll take you back after a couple of days.” He put on a smile once more, but it was my turn to be terrified. Melissa and Ellen wanted to kill me. To go back now meant a death sentence. Enzo noticed my panic. He reached out to pat my head but then suddenly retracted his hand. He raised his brows and said to me, “Don’t be afraid. I’m not trying to abandon you by taking you back. Since they almost killed my mate, I just think that I have to get justice no matter what it takes.”
