The Luna Choosing Game

Chapter 0551

It was difficult to wait the hours needed for everyone else to have gone to sleep. I couldn't stop thinking about Nicholas, and being in his arms again. A late night swim sounded dangerous but I trusted him to keep me safe.

All I had to do was wait.

Finally, after Elva was deeply asleep and the house grew quiet, I exited my bedroom. The guard at the door nodded at me but didn't otherwise comment. He probably noticed that Nicholas hadn't returned to his room yet. The guard likely knew exactly where I was going.

Desire filled me so much that there was no room for embarrassment.

I turned from the guard and tip-toed down the stairs. I was barefoot, wearing only my swimsuit, a new one that Nicholas had ordered for me when my others had gone missing. I didn't want to wake anyone else and have them asking questions.

Fortunately, the house was so well-maintained that there weren't even creaks in the floorboards, and I was able to descend the stairs without incident.

The first floor was eerily quiet. Without the staff and with the lights turned off, the house felt abandoned. The starlight was bright from outside, however, and illuminated the way down the hall. The back door to the deck was unlocked as I slid it open.
