    I woke up to the sensation of warm sunlight on my face and a pleasant sensation in my lower belly. A soft smile touched my lips, and I stretchednguidly, letting out a small moan of pleasure.


    But as my consciousness slowly returned, memories of the previous night flooded my mind, and I felt my cheeks grow hot.


    Noah had been... incredible.


    The way he had used his tongue, bringing me to the edge and then over it with just his mouth, never asking for anything in return... It was like nothing I had ever felt before.


    I could still feel the ghost of his touch on my skin, the way his hands had gripped my thighs, the gentle pressure of his tongue. My body tingled now just at the memory, a headybination of satisfaction and renewed desire coursing through me.


    Sitting up, the sheets pooling around my waist, I saw Noah getting dressed. His back was to me, his tight muscles rippling as he moved around the room. My blush deepened at the sight, remembering how those muscles had felt under my handsst night as I had gripped his shoulders.


    Noah must have sensed my gaze because he turned, his eyes flicking methodically over me. "Good morning. Sleep well?"


    "Y-yes," I stammered, suddenly feeling shy under his intense gaze. "I did."


    To my surprise, he simply nodded and continued to button his shirt. "Good. We need to get going soon. I have meetings back in Nightcrest this afternoon."


    All business, I supposed. I swung my legs over the side of the bed, intending to stand, but found them


    trembling slightly. Noah noticed my hesitation, his fingers stilling on his shirt buttons.


    "Are you okay? Morning sickness?" he asked, taking a step toward me.


    I shook my head, feeling heat rise to my cheeks again. "No, I''m fine. Just... a bit weak afterst night," I admitted, avoiding his gaze.


    "Ah. Well, order a big breakfast at the hotel restaurant. You need to regain your strength."


    The casual attitude he gave me made my chest clench but I chose to ignore it. As I got dressed, however, I couldn''t help but steal nces at him. The memories ofst night kept reying in my mind- his heated gaze as he had looked up at me from between my thighs, the way he had known exactly where to touch, to lick, to suck...


    At breakfast, I found it hard to concentrate on my food Every movement reminded me of our encounter.


    The way the fork felt in my hand made me think of how I had gripped Noah''s hair when I finally went over the edge. The taste of the sweet syrup on my pancakes was all too simr to the sweet taste of release.


    "Your color''sing back," Noahmented, breaking through my reverie. His eyes were fixed on my face, but his gaze was far from the heated look he had given mest night. "Wasst night too much for you?"


    "No!" I said quickly, perhaps a bit too quickly. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. "It was... nice. But..." I hesitated, then pressed on. "Why didn''t you want anything in return? You never asked me to... reciprocate."


    Noah simply shrugged, taking a sip of his coffee. His calm demeanor was infuriating, given how flustered I felt. "I thought I made it clear. I wanted to make you feel good because it''s good for the pregnancy."


    His words sent a pang through my chest. Was that all it was to him? A clinical approach to ensuring a healthy pregnancy? "If I wasn''t pregnant, would you still have done it?" I asked, my voice small.


    Noah shrugged again and stabbed a piece of omelet with his fork. "If you weren''t pregnant, would we even be in this situation right now?"


    I fell silent, unable to argue with his logic. If I wasn''t pregnant, there was no knowing what would have happened in our rtionship. Maybe I would have divorced him much sooner. Or maybe I wouldn''t have been reborn and I would be dead right now.


    On the drive home, I couldn''t stop thinking about what Noah had said. If I told myself this was just for the pregnancy, just a health benefit, could I avoid falling in love again? It seemed like a dangerous game to y.


    My wolf, however, didn''t seem to think that falling in love again would be so bad. She reveled in Noah''s


    touch, in the closeness we had shared with our mate.


    But I knew better.


    With my father nning to abdicate his role as Alpha soon, leaving my cousin Alvin as the sessor, I felt an obligation to step up. Alvin was not a suitable Alpha. He would run Silvermoon into the ground.


    I almost felt obligated now to take over Silvermoon. Even if I did fall in love with Noah again, we couldn''t stay married. An Alpha couldn''t be married to another Alpha from a different pack. The politics of it all made my head spin. 1


    When we finally arrived home, Noah went straight to his office for his meetings. I retreated to my own office, pacing back and forth as I tried to sort out my feelings.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    But no matter how hard I tried to focus on other things, my mind kept circling back to Noah. His fingers, his tongue, the way I had cried out his namest night


    Groaning in frustration, I sat down in my chair, only to jump back up immediately. The pressure of the seat against my bottom sent a jolt of arousal through me. What had Noah done to me?


    He had turned me into an addict, that''s what.


    I tried to focus on my Luna work, pulling up documents on myputer and rifling through papers. But it was useless. Every few minutes, my mind would wander back to Noah, to his touch, to the way he had made me feel. The memory of his mouth on me, his fingers digging into my thighs, was so vivid it was almost like he was still there.


    I knew, then, that if I couldn''t have a release again soon, I might go mad. The tension building in my body was bing unbearable. I found myself shifting in my seat, crossing and uncrossing my legs, anything to alleviate the growing ache between them, but it was useless.


    Finally, I had an idea. It was crazy, maybe even a little desperate, but it might just work.


    I shoved aside my work papers and pulled up a nk document on myputer.


    I found Noah in his studyter, poring over a pile of paperwork. Without a word, I strode up to his desk and mmed the papers I had written down in front of him, not caring if I interrupted his work. Noah jerked his head up, clearly so absorbed in his work he hadn''t even noticed me entering. "What''s this?"


    "Read it," I said, my voice shockingly steadier than I felt at that moment. My heart was pounding so hard I was sure he could hear it.


    He picked up the papers, his eyebrows raising as he began to read. I watched his expression change from confusion to amusement to something I couldn''t quite decipher.


    Was it interest? Desire? Humor?


    After what felt like an eternity, Noah looked up at me, his brow furrowed deeply.


    "Is this... a sex contract?"
