From Rougue To Luna novel Chapter 78

Rhett responded quietly, not wanting to wake her. "Her things are in the car and I'll send for her first thing tomorrow."

I stiffened and began to protest but he shook his head at me. "It's just for tonight. She will stay with Anniston and Ivy will be checking in. She will be fine Lili."

Anniston nodded and gently took Huntleigh from him before giving us both a blushing smile and walking back out, shutting the door quietly behind her.

I stood frozen, unsure and confused as I looked up at Rhett as he walked over to stand in front of me. "We will get her settled in to her room first thing tomorrow. I promise." He said soothingly, stroking my cheek before brushing my hair from my face.

"I don't understand." I finally answered.

He just smiled down at me and took my hand in his, lacing our fingers as he lead me down the hall to a door on the right. He opened the door and inside was a small day bed with a canopy pulled to a peak above it. The room had a large picture window that let the remaining light of the day inside as the sun set over the mountain in front of us. He'd given her a room.

"This will be Huntleigh's room." His voice broke through as I fought back the emotion quickly filling inside of me. I turned to face him as a tear fell down my cheek. "Do you think she'll like it?" He asked quietly.

I nodded as I let out a tight laugh. It was taking everything I had my to let the emotion melt me into a puddle in the floor. "She'll love it." I finally said as I wiped the tears from my face. I placed my hand on his chest and smiled. "Thank you Rhett. This is more than I could have ever dreamt of."

He took my hand in his and brought it to his lips before pulling me out and down the hall, slowly making our way to the other side of the house. We got to the end of the opposite hall and he opened the door.

I looked into his eyes as they swirled darker, his jaw clenching in restraint as his eyes bored into mine. It was as if time around us was standing completely still.

"Yes." My words came out solid and sure, shattering the charged silence surrounding us.

Within a moment, he had scooped me up and walked me over to stand in front of the bed, stopping as the back of my knees bumped against it. He leaned down, his lips meeting mine. The kiss was passionate and consuming and I could feel the heat rolling off of him as my own began to radiate throughout my entire body. My hands snaked around his neck to pull him closer down to me, pressing my body against his as his own wrapped tightly around my waist, his hands gripping into my hips. He didn't wait for permission this time as his tongue plunged into my mouth. I gasped slightly as our tongues tangled, my fingers reaching up to tangle into his dark hair.

He picked me up in one movement, my legs wrapping around his waist as he guided us down onto the bed, his mouth never releasing mine. I could feel his muscles rippling beneath my touch as his hands began to roam my body, raking up my hips and waist before trailing up my rib cage. He touched it gently, wary of my lingering bruises before palming my breasts. I felt him harden against me, his erection pressing against my body and my hips instinctively began to rock against his. He let out a low growl, the kiss turning hungry as he ground his hips back against mine.
