Chapter 18 Almost

• Luna POV
• I wake up pressed against a body, my heart immediately racing. The room is still cloaked in darkness—those blackout curtains must still be drawn tight. I should be getting ready for work, but my mind can’t focus on anything other than the weight of him next to me. Slowly, I lift my head, my breath catching when I see it—his hooded mask, still covering his face.
• Every instinct screams at me to stop, but my hand shakes as I reach out, inching closer to the mask. I barely manage to lift it over his nose when his hands snap up, grabbing mine. His eyes fly open, pinning me with a sharp, predatory gaze. “Don’t do that, little deer,” he warns, his voice low, sending a shiver of both fear and excitement down my spine.
