Deanna\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
I blinked and tried to pull away from his overly intimate hug, but Luis held me tight.<\/p>\n
After a moment, I looked at the lightning tearing across the night sky and said softly, \u201cActually, I\u2019m not scared of thunder. I lied that night.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI just wanted you to stay with me back then.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis\u2019s movements paused. \u201cSorry. I wasn\u2019t there for you that night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Right after saying that, he scooped me up by the waist, walked over to the couch, sat down, and settled me on his lap. Then he stared at me with an intense gaze.<\/p>\n
My ears burned under that kind of stare.<\/p>\n
I tried to get up.<\/p>\n
Then I suddenly felt something cold on my wrist.<\/p>\n
I looked down. That familiar moonstone bracelet was already on me.<\/p>\n
Luis said, \u201cKeep it.\u201d<\/p>\n
I stared at it. \u201cI gave it back to you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s always been yours.\u201d<\/p>\n
I touched the bright moonstone and said softly, It\u2019s not mine anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis lifted my chin, making me look at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cDeanna, I know you don\u2019t believe I\u2019m into you. That\u2019s fine. This time we\u2019ll take it slow. I\u2019ll wait for you to fall for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
His eyes were calm and deep, almost pulling me in.<\/p>\n
That look felt like he was asking me to trust him again.<\/p>\n
Not long after, Luis\u2019s phone rang\u2013it was an urgent video conference with Mooncrown Pack<\/p>\n
He gently set me on the couch and ruffled my hair before heading into the study and closing<\/p>\n

the door.<\/p>\n
I went to the room to wash up. After soaking in the bath for a bit, the fatigue slowly faded.<\/p>\n
When I came out, Luis\u2019s meeting was already over.<\/p>\n
I grabbed a magazine from the living room and went back to the guest room like usual.<\/p>\n
He was standing by the kitchen counter, drinking water. His Adam\u2019s apple moved up and down as he drank, and in the quiet stormy night, it somehow felt suggestive.<\/p>\n
I hesitated for a long time before finally saying, \u201cI\u2019m going to bed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMm.\u201d His voice was low. His eyes burned as he looked at me.<\/p>\n
Under that intense stare, I turned and walked step by step toward the guest room.<\/p>\n
Even without looking back, I could feel his gaze glued to me, making my hands and feet clumsy.<\/p>\n
I opened the guest room door, stepped inside, and glanced at him. \u201cGood night.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis didn\u2019t move. He just kept staring at me with that completely unfiltered \u2018<\/p>\n
Click.<\/p>\n
I closed the door, leaned against it, and pressed a hand to my racing heart, waiting for it to calm down.<\/p>\n
That jerk. How dare he try to seduce me.<\/p>\n
In the middle of the night.<\/p>\n
Thunder kept rumbling nonstop, the storm sounding like it wanted to tear the world apart.<\/p>\n
I woke up. My throat was dry, so I headed out to get some water.<\/p>\n
The living room was pitch\u2013black.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t turn on the lights. I just used a bit of light coming through the windows to find my way to the kitchen and pour a glass of water.<\/p>\n
After drinking it in one go, the irritation from being woken up slowly faded.<\/p>\n
I set the glass down and head back to my room.<\/p>\n
I opened the guest room door and stepped inside. A familiar cedar scent hit me from behind.<\/p>\n

The next second, a pair of strong arms suddenly swept me up, and my back hit the cold door hard.<\/p>\n
\u201cMmph-!\u201d<\/p>\n
I let out a muffled whimper, completely caught off guard.<\/p>\n
Luis pressed his body against mine, his thin lips swallowing my muffled sound.<\/p>\n
He kissed me intensely, his tongue aggressively parting my lips, and even his breathing was heavy with desire.<\/p>\n
\u201cJerk\u2026 \u201cI gasped.<\/p>\n
Luis nibbled on my earlobe, his voice hoarse. \u201cYeah. I\u2019m a jerk.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then, without another word, he scooped me up in his arms.<\/p>\n
