The Luna Choosing Game

Chapter 298

Chapter 0298

That night, I sneaked out of my room when everyone else was asleep. The guards pretended they didn’t notice. Then I quietly walked down the hallway, keeping my steps light as I wound my way through the palace until I stood before Nicholas’s door.

I gently knocked, and it opened right away.

Nicholas stood behind in. He wasn’t wearing a shirt. His muscles were on full display. He did wear a pair of thin lounge pants that hung low on his hips. His feet were bare.

“Piper,” he said, voice low. A shiver ran down my spine.

“Were you expecting me?” I asked.

He smiled a little, sheepish. It was boyish on his face, making him appear much as he did back when we had dated three years ago. My heartbeat went into overdrive.

“I was hoping…” He stepped back from the door. “Come inside. Please.”

I entered the room and he closed the door behind me.

Despite my trust and comfort around Nicholas, I was nervous in what I was doing here, in what was about to happen. So I continued to face the rest of the room, my back to Nicholas. If I looked at him, I might lose myself.

Maybe I came here for that. But I was afraid of it too.

Nicholas moved into the space behind me. He placed his hands on my shoulders.

“You’re tense,” he said. “Nervous?”

“I don’t know…”

“You don’t have to be with me. I know your boundaries and will never press you. You can trust me.”

“I do trust you.”

He began to give me a massage, pressing his thumbs deep into the strained muscles of my upper back. “Then trust me to take care of you…”

I relaxed at once, turning to putty in his hands.

“I’ll take care of you, Piper.”

“I know…” I sighed, happiness spreading through me.
