The Rise Of The Ugly Luna novel Chapter 38

LYRIC

Every organ in my body tightened with rage. Clumsily, I managed to lock the towel around my body, but it felt useless. Ed wasted enough time for him to see every inch of my naked body.

“What the hell!? Don’t you knock!?” I said at the top of my voice, my fingers shaking as they weakly held the towel to my chest.

I didn’t care that he was the Alpha I didn’t want to piss anymore. Right now, I was fucking pissed!

Jaris just saw me naked without my consent! And it wouldn’t have happened if he’d just knocked!

Or maybe it was my fault for not locking the door. No, how was I supposed to know that someone like him would want to come in without knocking?

Jaris looked stunned. Too stunned. I’d never seen him this way before. Didn’t even think I’d was possible.

His eyes, slowly, raked over me, stopping at my legs. It became uncomfortable.

“I apologize.” He finally muttered, stepped out of the room and slammed the door.

JARIS

What in the name of the moon?

Maybe I was wrong for going in without knocking. I didn’t even know what I was thinking.

But I guess I thought that the odds of finding Lyric naked would be quite low.

How I got in wasn’t exactly the biggest problem for me. I was more concerned about the fact that seeing her naked brought about a certain reaction; one I did not expect.

A shiver has traveled all the way through my chest, down to my abdomen, and finally to my groin. It looked like the most beautiful body I’d ever seen.

I couldn’t explain it, but I wanted to see more of it. I was as hard as a rock already. How did it have that much effect on me? The air suddenly felt hotter.

Reaching my office, I took off my tie immediately and groaned as I undid my buttons. Why was I suddenly uncomfortable? A rapid knock reached my door.

“Who is it?” I rasped.

“It’s Lyric!” She sounded really pissed.

Damn it. I couldn’t see her now.

“I’m not seeing anyone!” My voice was grumpier than I intended.

“Well, I need to talk to you!”

I said nothing, and to my shock, she fucking opened the door and let herself in.

“What do you think you’re doing?” I snarled.

She was wearing brown flannel pants and a plain black top now. Her hair was still wet, reminding me of what I’d seen earlier.

No. She couldn’t be here. I couldn’t see her. Maybe, I could get Kael to come throw her out.

“What you did was wrong! How could you just come into my room without knocking?” Her eyes were ruddy. Oh, she wasn’t just angry, she was ashamed that I’d seen her little decency.

*I already apologized. What the fuck do you want me to do? Go back in time and erase the memory?”

“Yes! If that’s possible.”

“Lyric, get out. I can’t deal with you right now!” I randomly grabbed some papers from the table.

I’d never been this decomposed my whole life.

moment.”

“Well, maybe you should’ve locked your door. Have you considered that?”

“What? You can’t blame me for not locking my own door. Don’t try to put this on me!”

“Damn it, Lyric! Just go!” I snapped, throwing the papers in my hands all around the room.

She flinched, her eyes glossy with tears and fear. Well, I couldn’t bring myself to care right now.

Finally–thank goodness–she stormed out of the office.

A while later, I picked up my tie and proceeded to my room.

Something was wrong with me. Terribly wrong.

I needed a shower.

But as the warm water cascaded down my body, all I could think of was the image of Lyric Harper, naked in her room. I could vividly remember what every curve of hers looked like–how stunning her legs were, how round and full her breasts were, and how shocked she had been.

I hated that I was doing it. I’d seen a lot of naked women in my life, yet getting a glimpse of Lyric today made me react in ways I never thought was possible.

I stared down at myself in the shower. I was as hard as rock. Painfully hard.
