Luna Rising

FIFTY SEVEN

We stayed a few more days as I trained more with Dad and became a better mom to Michael.

I spent time with Michael, feeding, changing, taking naps with him, and even enjoying our playtime together.

I never knew raising a child could be exhausting yet fun. But we take turns taking care of him.

Michael lost his parents at the hands of Demir. He was then marked to be used as a vassal to resurrect him.

After hardcore training, I returned to my room, where I shared with Dominic and Michael. I heard giggling in the nursery room and a smile on my face at what I witnessed.

Dominic gives Michael raspberry blows on the stomach as the child gives a cute infectious giggle.

I'm not the only one trying to be a better parent.

Dominic and I are first-timers in parenting. I even learned that the fairies with kids gave me different child-raising methods.

The fairies did a good job decorating the nursery. It's more woodies theme vibes with the vines and flowers around. It's a good thing Michael isn't allergic to flowers.

And Dad created a wooden crib and rocking chair.

The baby giggles had me giggle and made Dominic look up at me.

"Hey baby, how's the training going?" He pulled Michael's shirt as he asked.

"Tired and sore, but seeing you two together gave me a pain reliever."

"Little Man was awake while you were out with your Dad, and I thought I get to spend time with him before feeding him," he got up and kissed my lips.

"I can feed him," I reach for Michael, but Dominic wouldn't give the baby to me.

"No, you work too hard," he used one hand, gripped my shoulder, and led me to our bedroom. "You sit here. I'll feed Michael and put him in his play pin. Then I'll make you a nice aromatherapy bath."

I sat on the bed and looked at my two boys. I didn't realize Michael was growing. It's been a week since we found him. He was so tiny, and now he looks about six months. Galvan explained that because of the demon blood, you grow faster.

That also explains my growing fast when living in the Blue Moon Pack.

Others called me a freak and an abomination for my growth spurt. I almost became as tall as Dominic.

Michael blew a raspberry making cute bubbles. It made me chuckle. I reached and gently pinched his rosy red cheek.

"Alright."

"Give mommy a kiss," Dominic bent down and let Michael reach his wet lips on my cheek and clap for an excellent job.

Even with Michael's growth, his mind is maturing more quicker. He is learning fast. While I trained with Dad, Galvan ran some tests on Michael with mental and social functions.

Like any other baby, he learns new words and functions his brain with shapes and pictures. But Michael is a quick learner. His mind is that of a child, but if you teach him, he can catch up instantly.

Dominic takes our child back to the nursery as I lay back on the bed.

I massaged my shoulder from the painful sore. Dominic closed the door to the nursery.

"Is he in his playpen?" I asked.

"Yeah," he joined me on the bed, sitting behind me, and started to massage me.

I arch my back and moan as he puts pressure on every point he massages.

"I'll be right back," Dominic got up as I heard the water running from our bathroom.

I followed him as the bathroom was clouded with mist, and the scent of lavender and peppermint filled my nose.

"Let's remove these," he pointed to my training clothes.

Dominic stepped in front of me and grabbed the hem of my shirt. My heart was racing, and I could see his eyes glowing as he slowly lifted my shirt.

We never lost contact. Dominic slowly removed my other clothes until I was completely naked. I used one arm to hide my breast and another to cover my womanly part.

It feels weird.

This is my first time naked in front of Dominic. My heart was racing too much that it wanted out.

When I used the aphrodisiac on his soup and took him into the forest and...

I shake those thoughts.

I wasn't naked at that time. We were fully clothed while I did my way with him.

"Come, the water is warm," Dominic outstretched his hand.

I swallowed hard and took his hand. Good thing the bathroom is a cloud of smoke to cover my naked body partially.

I lifted one foot and touched the warm water. Entering the other foot, I crouch down to have the water reach my collarbone.

"Is the water okay?" Dominic asked. "Not too hot?"

I swayed my hand and picked up lavender petals. "The water is fine."

I was sliding myself lower to lay my head back. I closed my eyes and relaxed.

"The fairies told me that lavender petals soaked in morning dew and adding peppermint is the best way to cure an aching body."

"Well, it seems like it's working. All my muscles are getting soothed out." I moaned, feeling relaxed that I wanted to sleep.

As I closed my eyes, I felt the bath water moving. I opened my eyes and squeaked, covering my eyes when Dominic's body and glory decided to join this pleasuring bath.

"Um...Nick...what are you doing?" I kept my eyes covered as I asked.

"Joining you," he stately claimed.

"I know that, but..."

I felt the water move again, and when I open my eyes to take a peak. Dominic was in front of me. His brown eyes turned into glowing gold. My heart starts to race at a rapid speed.

"You and I didn't have much time to spend together."

"W-Well," I wanted to hurry back, but I was already at the corner of the tub.

This tub is a shape of a round jacuzzi, and it's big enough for two people.

"I've been training with Dad every day. You know...to become powerful to defeat Demir."

Plus, with my magic manifesting, I was ready to take Demir on when I learned to control it.

Dominic took my hand as I used my free one to cover my breast. He lifted my hand and kissed my palm, making my heart flutter and my body even warmer than the bath water.

"You've trained too hard," he says, kissing my hand and arm. "You need to relax. That's why I'm here. To give you the most relaxing bath you ever have."

Since when can Dominic be so seductive?

When he joined the bath, I knew immediately where this was going.

We've had sex, but that isn't considered one because I drugged him and felt guilty for doing that to him. But that was the old me. The new me is reformed and isn't ready for this.

As much as I wanted to share a passionate night with him. I wasn't ready. My mind tells me to run, but my whole body is betraying me.

It wants him.

I want him.

I want to push him away. But that wouldn't stop a predator from hunting his prey.

I felt like a weak little fox would be devoured by a very seductive hungry wolf.
