All Chapters of Mechanic or Luna: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

I don’t even remember falling asleep, but I slept the best I had in days. My head was on something soft, my leg was wrapped around something that was basically rocking me as I slept. “Are you awake?” Maddox whispered in my ear. My eyes snapped open as I looked up. My head was on his chest, my leg was wrapped around him as his breathing calmed me. Maddox must have felt my anxiety, because he started laughing. “It’s okay. I got into bed and you curled into me. Even when you sleep, your body seeks mine out.” My wolf was purring in my head, but my rational brain was coming back. As I tried to pull my leg back, Maddox put his hand on my thigh, keeping me there. “But…”“No. Stay here.” Maddox turned into me, keeping my head against his chest. “I like it.” It took me a while to relax in his arms. This was all new, and I wasn’t sure if I should be doing this. It was uncharted territory that I wasn’t sure about. Wrapping my arm between us, Maddox held me tighter, making me feel almost…. saf

“So you just want the title, so you can make them leave you alone?” I flipped it back on him for the fun of it. “No, I want to date you….” Maddox sighed and walked out of the bathroom. I’m sure he could hear me laugh before he slammed the bedroom door shut. Since I had the privacy now, I just imagined Maddox’s massive dick taking care of my needs. It was the fastest I had ever found my release, and the conditioner wasn’t even in my hair for five minutes.After a fresh shave, my side was starting to ache enough that I was ready to get out. It was getting easier to move, after gently wrapping the towel around my hair, I walked to the suitcase ass naked. Pulling out a corset style bodysuit. It was partially see-through, with a yellow and white floral design on it. Keeping it simple with jean shorts, I figured this would drive Maddox crazy and tell the other girls to fuck off. The door opened just as I tried to brush my hair. “Tatum!” Jo rang out. “In here!” I groaned. “You always show

I stood up and walked up to stand in front of him. “I guess I can go on a date with you…” Shrugging like it wasn’t a big deal, Maddox frowned at me. “No.”“No?” I looked at him, annoyed. “I don’t believe you really want to date me.” “Wow.” Holding out my hands, I can’t believe how the tables had changed. “Fine, I won’t ask again.” Turning around, I had just taken a step when Maddox’s hand wrapped around my wrist. He pulled me back around, slamming into his chest. “Tatum, I want you so fucking bad that it is taking every ounce of restraint I have to not flip you over this desk and have my way with you. I could easily do it and you know it. However, I didn’t, because I respect you and your feelings. If you want to date me and be my girlfriend, I will be the happiest man alive, but you have to convince me this is what you want. Not just what your brother wants and what is best for that bitch.” His words sank into me. I was still scared, but I was more concerned about rubbing it into

“Wow, Maddox gets himself a girlfriend and now he is all business and safety.” Spencer rolled his eyes at Maddox’s back. “I think Cade would be who you should be concerned about.” I said as I turned to him. “His bite is far worse than his bark.” “Also, I think you are finally seeing Maddox’s true potential. Before, he didn’t really care and was relaxed. Now he has something to fight for.” Jo looked at me and smiled. “This is just the beginning of what Maddox is capable of. I think by the end of this, he will be the one to be feared.” I looked at Maddox and Cade pouring drinks for everyone. I knew what Cade was capable of when his loved ones were threatened. Maddox was a hothead. “Jo, Maddox has a reputation for being a hothead, right?” Jo shrugged, unsure of where I was going. “Yeah?” “What were those situations in which Maddox acted out?” Spencer leaned forward. “It was always about some girl. If she was beaten up or treated wrong… like if a guy touched her without concent.”

“Yeah, a few came off when Maddox checked it this morning to clean it.” Cade wrapped his arms around my shoulders and give me a gentle hug. “I have been worried about you.” I couldn’t help but smile. “I’ve had worse.” I said as he let me go and looked at me. “You were always home for me to take care of you. Now, it’s not me doing it.” “I’m growing up. Not a little girl anymore.” I teased. “You guys are literally one year apart.” Spencer rolled his eyes. He kept his arm around my shoulder and I put mine around his waist. “Cade was more of a dad to me than Kyle was. If I have a luna ceremony, it will be Cade walking me down the aisle, not Kyle.” “If? What do you mean, if?” Steele looked at me, daring me to argue. “Bite me.” “Let’s not.” Maddox sighed as he walked up behind us. Cade let me go and went back to his spot. “What was that about?” I asked. Maddox looked more annoyed as he took a seat. His hand gently pulled my leg, so I was standing against him. It made it, so I need
