A Tale of Three Lunas-Completed

Chapter 26

Zinnia's POV

It's weird. Even though we are discussing heavy topics, talking to Lorenzo is effortless to me. I want him to know everything about me and I want to learn everything about him.

When he hugged me close and told me that he would be there for me, I did feel embarrassed about the people that were looking at us, but it felt so good that he was claiming me in public, proud to be with me and not caring who saw it.

"So, tell me about your family." I say to him as we finish our food.

"Oh, its just me and my twin brother Alonzo now. We're fraternal. My parents are not in the picture anymore."

"You have a twin brother? Oh my gosh, that's adorable!"

"Why is that adorable?" he chuckles, sipping his drink.

"I don't know. I'm just picturing you as a chubby little baby wearing matching outfits with another little baby boy. Lorenzo and Alonzo. You can't see the picture in my head but I promise it is so cute."

Lorenzo tries to suppress it, but he laughs out loud and the robust sound of his laughter makes my heart flutter.

His scent is intoxicating, his voice is savory, his touch is electrifying and his smile, seeing him smile makes my life feel brighter. I made him laugh and the sound of his laughter is something I didn't ever want to stop hearing.

Now I can't stop smiling.

After he pays the bill, he grabs my hand and leads me outside.

"I don't want to go back yet. Would you like to go for a walk?"

'Zinnia, tell Lorenzo his lunch is running late. He needs to be back here for our next meeting.'

I don't get to answer Lorenzo's question because the King interrupts us, demanding that Lorenzo get back to the castle.

"The King wants you back."

He stops and looks at me. "You didn't answer my question. Do you wanna go on a walk?"

"Yes, but the King-"

"Forget the King. There is nothing more I can give them until I talk to my brother and he knows that. When he finds his mate, he'll understand that the last thing I want to do is leave you, my perfect mate, to talk to him of all people."

Lorenzo pulls his phone out of his pocket and after I hear the King speak into the line, he says 'I can't make it' into the phone and hangs up.

He takes my hand and leads me into the trail behind the parking lot.

"Did you ever work as a midwife? As that how you knew how to deliver Leilani's baby?"

"I took some classes, but that was my first delivery. I was actually planning to work in the hospital nursery when Carlani got older." I say, kind of heartbroken.

"Really? Cause we could use your talents in my pack."

"Yea?"

We talk more and more, especially about my trial and escape from my old pack. I tell him all about KJ and hours pass by until we end up by a lake.

"My feet hurt." I say absentmindedly. Before I know what's happening, Lorenzo lifts me up and we are suddenly chest to chest.

"Hold on tight."

I wrap my arms around his neck and he slowly takes my shoes off. He licks his lips and I can't keep my eyes off of them. I lean down and gently peck his perfect lips, ignoring my shyness unable to help myself. He reciprocates with fervor, pulling my body closer and pressing his soft lips against mine. I exhale at the contact and he slips his tongue into my parted mouth. I feel him exploring my mouth, the warmth of his tongue raising my own temperature and I feel like I'm floating.

Soon, we're moving. Lorenzo leans me up against a tree and uses both of his hands to rub my legs. They slowly move closer to my panties as we kiss and he partially shifts his nails to claws to slice off my underwear. I feel them fall to the ground and I still as the cool air closes in on my lips. Lorenzo rolls his fingertips around my hips.

"Breathe, gorgeous."

Did I forget to breathe? Him touching me feels so good. No one has ever touched me like this. I take in a deep breath as his fingers move close to my lips and he rubs the moisture that seals them shut. I let out a small, uncontrollable moan as his fingers run up and down, rubbing the wet, slick around.

Then it all stops.

"Zinnia, why aren't you breathing? You haven't in a few seconds." he says in a low voice by my ear.

"Am I not breathing?" I ask in a daze, slowly finding a way to open my eyes.

"You're not. If I didn't know better, I'd say you're acting like a virgin." he chuckles, putting me on my feet.

I'm acting like a virgin? How do virgins act? I have only ever put a p***s in my mouth and no one has ever touched me down there. Does that make me a virgin?

"Zinnia, I can see the wheels turning in your head. Talk to me."

I suddenly feel very embarrassed, then Lorenzo picks up my ripped panties and puts them in his pocket. He picks me and my shoes up and starts walking back toward the car.

"Well...I wanted to wait for my mate...so I didn't do certain things."

"So, you are a virgin."

I nod my head and lay on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have assumed. I need to stop assuming things about you. It always gets me in trouble."

"Its okay. No one ever touched me like that, but I liked it."

"I could tell." he laughs and I bury my head in his shoulder, as he made me feel shy again.

"Then I want your first time to be special, as special as I can make it. Whatever you did before we met doesn't matter, but thank you for saving that for me."

"When are we going home?" I ask, yawning.

"We are going to the car right now, dulce."

"No, when am I going to your pack?"

Lorenzo looks at me and smiles, that life ruining smile. "We can go as soon as you're ready, love."

"How about the day after your party?"
