Don’t Poke the Luna
Chapter 137
Xena’s POV
We had been sampling appetizers and main courses for what felt like hours, and no matter what I chose, Luna Kestrel just smiled and agreed. Even when I couldn’t decide and wanted to select everything, she simply nodded with that graceful smile of hers.
Luna Kestrel jotted down all the dishes on a piece of paper. I couldn’t help but notice her handwriting–fluid and elegant, just like her. “And finally, desserts!” she announced with enthusiasm.
“This is a chocolate pistachio dome. When you cut into it, there’s German chocolate mousse inside with a brownie base and chocolate sauce. This is a passion fruit parfait with graham cracker bottom. This is a raspberry lemon tart. And finally, a blueberry lemon cake shooter.”
Ryder cut into the chocolate dome and fed me a bite. The chocolate melted in my mouth, and I couldn’t help but let out a moan of pleasure. For a moment, the entire world disappeared, leaving nothing but this exquisite flavor exploding across my senses.
“That’s so good,” I mumbled, my mouth full of chocolate.
“I think she heard enough of your moans last night. If you keep that up, I’ll take you right here in front of her, Ryder said through our mind link.
I was in the middle of swallowing the chocolate and instantly choked. God, how could he say something like that in this setting? My face must have turned crimson, not just from choking but from the heat his bold suggestion sent rushing through my body.
“Oh my goodness! Are you alright?” Luna Kestrel asked with concern.
“I’m fine. Just went down the wrong way,” I managed between coughs, mentally cursing Ryder for his inappropriate timing.
We tried the other two desserts as well, and the decision, once again, was to have them all. I couldn’t say I was disappointed.
“Wonderful! So, you can eat anything you like now. Whatever doesn’t get eaten will be discarded, so please feel free to enjoy anything.” Luna Kestrel smiled. “I’m going to note these down and I’ll be right back!” She bounced out of the room with an energy
that reminded me of Ama.
I grabbed a plate of sushi and walked over to sit on the couch.
“I’m surprised you didn’t go for the chocolate,” Ryder said with a smirk as he took the duck.
“I didn’t want to be naked by the time she comes back, I muttered, popping a piece of sushi into my mouth.
Ryder sat down, raising an eyebrow. “So, did you enjoy last night?”
“I did, actually.
“What parts did you enjoy the most?” Ryder bit into his duck.
The massage was the best part,” I teased.
Really?” He cocked one eyebrow at me.
“Yeah. Your fingers are quite talented.” I put another sushi roll in my mouth.
I see, Ryder said as his mother walked back into the room.

Chapter 137.
I’ve got everything sorted out? What are your plans for the rest of the day?” she asked, taking a seat with a cranberry pear salad.
‘Going to check on the progress at the shop,” I said, finishing my last bite of sushi. I stood up to return my plate and grabbed the chocolate dessert.
“Ah! I hope that’s going well! Have you had to reschedule many clients?”
“Yes. I’m usually booked several weeks in advance.”
“That’s fantastic. What made you want to work so much?”
“I enjoy drawing and motorcycles, It was a creative way to make money and get away from the pack house for a while.”
“I just can’t believe you’ve managed to run and create such a successful business!” Luna Kestrel complimented.
“Thank you. I enjoy it.” I smiled back at her.
God, this dessert is incredible. I had to fight back another moan as I took another bite. Ryder raised an eyebrow at me, but I tried to
avoid his gaze.
“What else do you enjoy doing?” she asked.
I thought about it before answering. “I like being busy. I don’t enjoy days where there’s nothing to do. So, I just do anything that fills my day.”
“That’s wonderful!” Luna Kestrel responded enthusiastically.
