#4 Moonlight on the Water
Chapter 55

Cameron

I was waiting outside the spa for my mate to finish up with her pampering. She was a little over two months into her pregnancy now and deserved every bit of pampering she could get. Based on what Cordelia could tell us from her pregnancies, we assumed she would deliver in about 4 months or so. She was more beautiful now than ever as her body swelled to accommodate our child.

“Cam?” Her sweet voice filled my ears as the girls came out from the spa. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Hi, angel, I wanted to pick you up myself.” I held my hand out for her and she skipped towards me.

“Okay.” She waved goodbye to Jenna, Julia, Tasha, and Melly before taking my hand.

“Dover, I’ll take it from here.” I told her guard dog who nodded and followed after his mate.

“Let’s go up to my room, I want to talk to you about something.” I said, wrapping my arm around her waist and pressing my lips against her temple.

“Okay.” She smiled.

“How are you feeling?” I asked, looking down at her tummy.

“Good. The spa treatment was amazing.” She said with a dreamy look on her face.

“I’m glad, angel, you should do that more often.”

“What have you been up to today?” She glanced up at me with her wide blue eyes.

“I went home to invite our families to your Luna ceremony.” I confessed. She blinked in shock,

“Really?”

“Yeah. Your siblings and dad are coming.” Her face lit up,

“They are?”

“I’m sorry I couldn’t convince your mom to come, but the king gave everyone the freedom of choice.” I said, squeezing her closer to me.

“Don’t be sorry. I have no expectations for her anymore. What about your parents?”

“You know how scared they are of the surface. They sent you their congratulations and wished us all well, but they can’t come. It’s okay, angel, my family is right here.” I smiled at her reassuringly.

“Thank you, Cam.”

“Anything for you.” We walked the rest of the way to the packhouse and took the elevator to the top floor. I helped her into my room and we sat on the couch.

I turned on the couch so I was facing her and she matched my movements. I took her face in my hands and leaned in for a quick kiss. She giggled against my mouth and allowed me to deepen the kiss.

“Navy, I wanted to tell you something.” I whispered, rubbing my thumb over her cheek.

“Mhm?” She hummed.

“I love you.” Her eyes blinked open in surprise,

“I’ve always loved you, since the very first day we met as toddlers, since before I even knew what love was. I loved you as my best friend, my classmate, my sister, my neighbor, my princess, and now my mate. I’ve loved you every way a man can love a woman. Now, that love is all consuming, completely overwhelming,” I pulled her closer to me, shifting her onto my lap so I could feel the warmth of her skin against me,

“I want to have patiences, to take my time with courting you and making you love me. But, the thing is, I know that you already do. You do love me, whether you want to admit it to yourself or not, you’ve always loved me, too. What I don’t know is if you want me as much as I desire you.” I purred, speaking softly as I clung to her face.

Her lips parted slightly in surprise as her doe eyes blinked widely at me. Her cheeks were flushed and I felt as her skin began to warm under my touch. She squirmed, fidgeting with her hands.

“Cam,” She sighed breathlessly,

“Cameron.” It was like she didn’t know what to say other than my name.

“Navy.” I replied.

“I….I love you, too.” She stammered and my heart began to beat faster,

“I always have and I always will. You’re right, deep down, a part of me has always known that you were made for me. Everything has been such a jumbled mess since the moment I turned 18. I’m sorry that you’ve gotten the short end of the stick for so long.” She sighed. I gripped her arms and pulled her even closer,

“Angel, I haven’t gotten the short end of anything. You are perfect, we’re perfect.” I assured her, pressing my lips to hers.

I attempted to break the kiss but my mate wouldn’t let me. She balled her hands in my shirt and pushed against me. She nearly crawled up my chest, shoving me down on the couch. I chuckled against her,

“Angel?”

“Yes.” She said, but it wasn’t a question, it was more of an answer.

“Yes?”

“The answer to your question is yes, I do want you as much as you want me.” Her eyes were alive and excited.

She wrapped her legs around my waist and forced me back down to her. I ran my hands over her body, taking my chance and dipping under the hem of her shirt. I grazed her stomach with my fingertips and felt her moan on top of me. I growled lightly and flipped us around so I was hovering over her. She broke away from me, breathless, and I stuffed my face into her neck.

I kissed and nipped at the spot where she would one day wear my mark. I tugged at her shirt,

“I want to take this off.” I said, remembering Knox’s warning about consent. Navy huffed in frustration, ripping the shirt from her body.

“Greedy.” I chuckled. She responded by quickly removing my own shirt and throwing it on the ground.

I picked her up and carried her to my bedroom, tossing her down on the bed. She gasped, throwing her hands out to steady herself. I crawled on top of her, watching her with hungry eyes. She met my gaze with a hunger of her own. She arched her back as I scooped my arms around her.

I fumbled with her bra as I peppered her body with kisses. Once her chest was bare, I cupped her breasts and massaged them, causing her to moan. I traveled my hands down to her hips and undid the button of her shorts. She shimmied her hips back and forth as I yanked her pants off. I covered her swollen stomach with my mouth, holding her belly up to relieve some of the pressure it was causing on her lower back.

“Cameron.” She moaned, tangling her fingers in my hair.

I brought my mouth back up to hers and started kissing her again, forcing her mouth open and shoving my tongue inside. I felt her tiny hands fiddling with my belt and soon my pants were on the floor as well. I roamed my hands to her hips as she moved against me.

“Do you want me, angel?” I asked, nibbling at her earlobe.

“I want you.” She moaned in a needy voice.

“Do you want more?” I kissed my way down her neck.

“I want all of you.” She replied as I left a love bite on her bare marking spot.

“Then you shall have me.”

I moved my body over hers and wrapped my arms around her. She gasped as I pressed myself to her, her body withering under mine. I groaned in pleasure at how our bodies responded to each other.

“I love you, angel.” I moaned.

“I love you, too.” My angel responded as she came undone.
