THE SUBSTITUTE LUNA (IRIS and DRACO) novel Chapter 12

IRIS.

“Alpha…” I gave him a small smile when I opened the door and found him outside.

He had changed into a linen shirt and pants. His hair was wet, so he probably just finished his shower. Overall, he looked fresh and far from the formal Alpha Draco I had met today.

“I said I would help you with the ointment. So I came back.” He said.

“It’s okay, Alpha. I was able to do it.”

“How?” His forehead creased before his eyes darted to the dresser where the ointment lay, and beside it was a toothbrush. “With a toothbrush?”

I bit my bottom lip and nodded.

“You brushed your wound with a bristle?” His eyebrows hiked up. “Were you able to apply it to all?”

I shook my head. He pushed the door open and welcomed himself in, so I had no choice but to close it before following him. He went to the dresser while I sat at the end of my bed.

In no time, he was already in front of me. “Take off your top.”

And like earlier, I just did what I was asked without any complaint. I removed my pajama top and clutched it against my chest to cover my breasts. I was glad he didn’t ask me to stop covering myself.

He crouched in front of me and guided my body to turn halfway. So I ended up half-seated on the bed where he could see my back.

He didn’t say anything and just began massaging the ointment on my wounds. I flinched from time to time because of the pain, but overall, I felt good. The touch of his fingers on my skin felt like he was caressing me.

“Next time, don’t use a toothbrush. You will irritate or infect your wounds.” He said.

I nodded but didn’t say anything.

“But you should be okay in a day or two. This herbal ointment is effective.” He added.

“Thank you,” I mumbled.

I thought he was done when he held my elbow and guided me to move and face him again. He remained in a crouched position, head tilted up to look at me. “You need to apply it one more time tomorrow. I can come here and help you.”

“Alpha, I don’t want to take so much of your time.”

“You already did, Iris. So either I help you or I ask someone to help you. Your choice. Me or them.”

I bit my bottom lip. I couldn’t deny it. Regardless of the reason he wanted to help me, his gesture made my heart flutter again. I wanted to smile, but I didn’t want him to take it negatively, so I kept a poker face. “You, Alpha.”

“Good choice…” He said hoarsely before a smirk formed on his mouth, and he lowered his eyes. “You have something here, too.”

I held my breath as his fingers skimmed on my side, above my waist, where I knew I had a gash. He adjusted his position so he was directly in front of me, still crouching. He was tall, so our heads were almost parallel to each other.

My hands on his shoulder moved up until I was already gripping his hair and pushing his head toward me. I kept telling myself I should stop and not do anything, but my traitorous body kept moving on its own.

I threw my head back as my moans got louder until I felt my body being lifted off the bed. The next thing I knew, the Alpha was seated on the floor, and I was on his lap, straddling him while his head was still dipped on my chest, as if he couldn’t get enough of what my breasts could offer him.

He skillfully sucked and lapped on my nipple, biting and pulling it from time to time, and continuously sending shivers of pleasure down my spine and making my pussy leak. Before I could control myself, I began gyrating my hips, rubbing my front against his growing erection.

But just as fast as it happened, it also ended abruptly.

Alpha Draco suddenly pulled away, but his arms remained around my body. His eyes darkened as he looked at me.

My lips were still parted as I held my breath, staring back at him.

“Fuck!” I heard him mutter as his jaw clenched. He cleared his throat before he spoke again. “Go to bed, Iris. You need to rest.”

His voice was so cold it felt like someone had splashed cold water over me. I hastily got up from his lap and grabbed my top before walking to the side of the bed and slipping under the blanket without any words. I didn’t even flinch when my wounded back rubbed against the mattress.

My eyes followed his movement. He got up from the floor and walked toward the door without looking at me. He clicked the lock before walking out and closing it behind him.

He had an erection. I saw and felt his erection while I was straddling him. I could affect him just as much as he could affect me. But I had no idea why he didn’t want to continue.

I pulled my blanket up to my chin before closing my eyes. There was likely only one reason. Perhaps because my sister was waiting for him to return to their room.
