The Luna Who Refused to Kneel
Asher’s hand closed around mine, firm and unyielding, yet his warmth seeped through my skin, sending a tremor through my chest.
When our palms touched upon the sacred stone, a spark leapt between us—sharp, blinding, and impossibly intimate. My breath hitched, my body swayed as if the moon itself had claimed me.
“As our ancestors once vowed beneath this light,” Asher whispered, his voice low and rough, “so do we.”
The words tangled with the heat in his gaze, making my pulse race faster than I could control. In that moment, the ritual was no longer just holy—it was alive, burning, and unbearably close.
