I Am The Luna

“Are you ok?” Sebastian asks as I gingerly sit on the couch.

I nod as he sits down beside me, his hand going to my back, and for a moment I think he’s about to kiss me, but he forces himself back. We are in the lounge and the kids are setting up the Monopoly board game, looking adorable in their Christmas jumpers.

It’s past three in the afternoon and after our morning sex, we had showered before Sebastian had changed the bedding whilst I had gotten dressed, needing to cover a lot of marks that had not faded away.

I can’t help but smile, my cheeks burning every time I think of last night.

I stifle a yawn, and Xander looks up.

“Mommy, you slept too much today. Why are you yawning? Don’t you want to play?”

“Of course I want to play,” I say smoothly. “It’s winter, I’m sleepy,” I add, looking at the left-over playing pieces and settling on the iron.

He doesn’t look convinced as they all settle around the table. I don’t miss the way Sia and Zion exchange looks, and hope no one notices my burning cheeks. 2

“Ok then, so youngest first, which means me.” Xander declares as Sebastian sits forward, his leg pressed against mine.

“I hope you’re not a sore loser.” He remarks, making Sia giggle.

“Always,” she whispers, making Sebastian smirk.

“Who me? I never lose.” Xander declares, clearly forgetting the game of ludo last week…

Zion and I exchange looks, knowing exactly what will happen sooner or later.

“Well… let’s enjoy the peace for now,” I whisper,

“Yeah…” Sebastian replies as he looks down at me, our eyes locking and I can feel my heart racing.

I’m about to look away, but this time, he pinches my chin in between his fingers and softly kisses my lips. I kiss him back, keeping it clean, and very clear of the three pairs of eyes watching us with X-ray vision.
