The Luna Choosing Game

At once, my heart leapt up into my throat, while simultaneously crashing down into my stomach.

I pulled away from Nicholas enough to push myself up onto my hands and stare down at him.

The thought of breaking the engagement had never crossed my mind! Nicholas proposing had been one of the best moments of my life. No way he was going to take that away from me.

Nicholas immediately detected my anger, and his hands flew up, palms forward, in defense. "I didn't mean that you should break it. Only that you could if you wanted to."

"Why in any universe would I not want to be engaged to my mate, the man I love. The only one I've ever loved! The man I want a future with!" I was getting more and more upset, my voice raising. It was a very long day, I was so emotionally drained, so tears welled up in my eyes. "Nick..."

"I want to be with you, Piper. I want to marry you and have children with you. I wouldn't have proposed otherwise." Nicholas placed his hands on my shoulders and gave me a gentle massage. "But things are different for you now than they were when you initially accepted."

"I don't care. I don't care if I'm the princess of the moon, you are the man that I want as my husband." I was fired up now, voice loud and determined. "I won't settle for anyone less, Nick."

My passion only made Nicholas laugh, bright and beautiful. That smile, so breathtaking, lingered even when the laughter had gone.

*Alright, Piper. Okay. You can have me, I promise."

"Good." I settled back down against his chest. "No more talk of broken engagements."

"I promise," Nicholas said and kissed my forehead again. I tilted my head back and kissed my nose next. Farther, and finally his lips fell onto mine.

It was a gentle kiss, but I wanted more.

So I combed my fingers through Nicholas's hair and moaned against his mouth.

"You're tired," he said, though he tilted his head to start kissing down the length of my neck instead.

"I want to be with my mate," I whispered, and he sucked in a breath. Our legs were tangled under the thin blanket, so I felt his sudden interest when I used the term.

Nicholas pressed into me, rolling near on top of me, and pushed me down into the thin yet comfortable mattress of this sleeper car.
