Chapter 19: Until Dawn

She found her mate. She found her soul sister. They claimed the house. The pack stood whole. And beneath the quiet, something new began to stir.

Two months later, Luca and Rosa went well as the Alpha and the Luna. But everyone wondered when, or if, they would soon hear the tiny pitter-patter of feet running. After hearing this, Rosa took the initiative and got the ball rolling. She spent the rest of the day with her friend Emma Moretti, preparing her surprise for her mate, the Alpha.

Luca was trying to complete as much of the paperwork on his desk as possible when he noticed the time. It was time for dinner. He packs up and heads towards the dining room when he sees everyone, including Rosa, seated, waiting for him to sit at the head of the table beside his Luna. He sat down and smiled at everyone at the table, but his biggest smile was for Rosa, who smiled and then winked back. Luca looked at his mate curiously, wondering what the wink was about. Putting this into the back of his mind, he helps himself, and then Rosa takes her turn, followed by the rest of the pack members at the table.

Rosa listened to the conversations going around the table when someone asked her and Luca what they thought about having kids. Rosa replied to the person. When I was ready, she informed the person who had requested and then took a quick peek at Emma, who smirked, aware of what was happening that night. Luca will get one hell of a surprise when he goes to bed tonight, and she thinks to herself as she eats her food. As dinner was winding down, Gabriel stood up and proposed a toast, saying, “To the Alpha and the Luna,” to them as he nodded his head in their direction before he sat down as the rest of the members repeated what he had to say, “To the Alpha and the Luna,” they all said.

Luca and Rosa thanked everyone for their kind words.

Dinner was over, and everyone went to do their duties or relax around the packhouse before they retired for the night, as the pack members assigned to help in the kitchen took away the dirty dishes and put them into the dishwasher. Rosa also went to help. She wanted to be a firsthand Luna, not a Luna in the title, but someone who could come to her and ask her about stuff and other things. While Rosa was helping in the kitchen, Luca, Gabriel, and the others went to his office for a drink before retiring for the night to catch up.

Three hours later, they wrapped up their meeting, and everyone headed towards the door to their rooms; after saying goodnight, Luca headed towards their suite.

He stops before entering as Luca hears footsteps behind him, so he turns around to see who is approaching him. They were coming from Rosa. He smiled at her as he opened the door to let her enter the room; she smiled back, then stepped inside after thanking him.

Luca then heads straight for the shower after getting his black sleeping pants and informs Rosa.

While Luca was in the shower, Rosa quickly put her plan into action. She quickly changed into the long red satin, lace nightgown and robe set she had bought the other day when she and Emma had gone into town. Rosa went around the room and lit the two rose-scented candles she had placed beside the head of the bed on the two bedside tables.

Rosa hears the water stop in the shower, and not long after, Luca opens the bathroom door and comes out.

He looks up and sees the room before he notices Rosa and what she is wearing. Luca gulps. Looking at his mate in the red satin lace robe. Wondering what was happening, I asked her, “What’s going on?”

Rosa replies, “Remember the other day when we talked about the house and when I would let you know when I was ready to have kids?”

Luca gulps again as he nods; his eyes widen, remembering their discussion, and his face goes completely red, flushing with embarrassment.

Rosa chuckled at his reaction before coming to stand next to the bed. As she untied the sash on her robe, she said to him, “I am ready to complete the mating bond,” as her robe slipped down her body and collapsed into a pile of red satin on the carpet.

Luca gulps for a third time as his eyes widen as he looks at what his mate is wearing, a long red satin and lace nightgown that matches the robe lying in a pile on the bedroom floor. He asks her, “Are you sure, Rosa, because once we do this, there’s no turning back”, he said to her.

Rosa nodded to confirm that she was ready for the ultimate step in the mating bond with Luca, which was to mate entirely after making him wait for two months.

Luca walks up to Rosa slowly and carefully, not to scare her or make her more nervous than she already is. He gently caresses her face on both sides with his hands and looks into her eyes, admiring her decision. He slowly lowered his head towards her, and their lips joined as they caressed each other’s bodies. Luca breaks the kiss before placing kisses gently on her neck and shoulders while touching her everywhere else and making her go crazy.

He gently slides the straps down her nightgown, then watches as it slips over her body, joining the robe on the floor. Luca stands back to admire his mate’s body and says, “Exquisite,” as Luca admires her body before claiming her mouth again. Rosa moans as he kisses her. Luca slips his tongue between her lips and swirls it around inside her mouth, making her moan as she brings her arms up and around his body, holding on for dear life. He causes her to moan again for a third time as he caresses her body, causing her to shiver in pleasure.

Luca slowly draws his eyes down the sides of her body before bringing them up to her breasts as he caresses, nips, and sucks on one. He did the same to the other breast as Rosa moaned with pleasure; her mate worshipped her body. He picked her up, placed her in the middle of the bed, followed her down, and continued his ministrations.

Rosa was writhing in pleasure as Luca assumed his attack on her body. His hands went slowly lower while the other kept teasing her upper body. In minutes, Rosa went completely lax with pleasure as she moaned. As he kept going to build her happiness, Luca moved his hands further down her body, further caressing and nipping her skin as he went further downwards until he came to the apex of her long legs.

He looks up at Rosa and sees her flushed with pleasure before mischievously telling her, “This is only the beginning; there’s more to come.”

Rosa smiles as she takes in her mate before replying to him, “Bring it on,” while smirking at him.

Luca then started making out with her again while caressing her lower body. Rosa was moaning as he kept going down further towards the apex of her legs. Rosa’s hips jumped when she felt one of his fingers enter her and push his finger in and out a few times. She puts a second finger in and repeats this before arranging a third and final finger into her centre. Pushing them inwards, then outwards a few more times, he puts another finger down, which sends Rosa over the edge, crying out his name, but he does not stop there. Luca often does this and keeps sending her over the edge, making her scream out his name.

Rosa was writhing in pleasure as Luca kept administering more joy to her body than she could manage with his fingers and mouth. On the brink of another orgasm, Luca keeps caressing her and saying encouraging words to reassure her that everything is okay as he keeps pleasuring her body. With one final push of his fingers, the orgasm that has been building and his mouth on the apex of her legs send her over, and she screams his name, but Luca covers her mouth with his to swallow her screams so no one can hear.

Luca then asks her if she is okay, and she smiles at him. When he says to her, “This is going to hurt,” he asks, “Are you ready?” in advance.

Rosa nodded her head to let him know she was. Luca then adjusts himself as he slowly pushes his erection into her centre, bit by bit, so that she can get used to his size until he has entered her, and slowly makes his erection in and out as he gathers up speed, as Luca thrusts in and out of her body.

Rosa moans at the pleasure building up again inside her body, waiting for release. Luca then slows down to prolong the orgasm before speeding up his strokes and rebuilding the orgasm. Luca keeps this up a few times before he speeds up his strokes for the last time before he sends her over the edge, and the orgasm explodes out of her body.

Rosa screamed his name, but Luca’s mouth covered hers to muffle the scream as much as he could.

Rosa was coming down from the orgasm as Luca withdrew from her body. After washing himself, Luca comes out of the bathroom and brings a warm cloth to help clean her up. Rosa sighed as he took his time washing her.

Then Luca whispers in her ear, “It’s not over yet, mate,” as her mate informs her of his plans.

Rosa just smiled and snuggled beside him after he slipped between the sheets. He took her into his arms after they blew out the candles. They did this more at night and did not sleep until the early hours before dawn rose over the horizon.
