I lost track of time as I settled into the darkness, eyes closed, body melting into the mat. The deep quiet in the room sank straight into my bones. I could see why people got into this. Workouts were great and all, but this was chill on top of getting all those little forgotten muscles. I was half asleep when Luna’s voice broke the silence, telling us to bring awareness back into our bodies, and start wiggling fingers and toes. It took a lot of willpower to do it when I was ready for a nap, but I did, slowly coming back to life under her instruction until the whole class was sitting up and facing her.
“Thank you all so much for joining me tonight, for choosing to spend your time with me here and taking this time for yourself. Have a wonderful rest of your night, and I’ll see you all next week.”
I hung back as everyone prepared to leave, pleasantly surprised to see every single one of them spray and wipe down all of the communal supplies—a far cry from how people at my gym behaved—before heading out.
Luna paused to give me a quick kiss before bouncing on her toes. “Give me a few minutes to clean the floor and I’ll be right out.”
“Can I help?” I certainly wasn’t going to stand around while she worked.
“If you really want to. I don’t mind if you want to rest, though.”
“Let me. The sooner we finish, the sooner I get you all to myself, right?”
“Too true. Okay, one sec.” Luna grabbed the giant dust broom and sent me to sweep ahead of her steam mop. She beamed at me when we finished. “So what did you think? Have I converted you?”
“I liked it a lot more than I expected to. It’s hard as hell, but I think it’ll be good for me. I’m definitely going to feel it tomorrow.”
“It takes time to get used to it. You did great for your first class.”
My cheeks flushed with warmth at the simple praise. “Thanks. Can I see you do the aerial stuff now?”
“Sure. Let’s head over and see if there’s some free silks.”
I followed her into a massive room with an absolutely cavernous ceiling. A rainbow of fabric hung from it and Luna went straight for a red set, scaling it like a monkey on a tree. My heart leapt into my throat. She was high enough that she would definitely break something if she fell. A surge of protectiveness rolled through me.
“Luca,” Luna called down, “get off the mat or I might kick you in the face.”
I hadn’t even realized I had stepped forward. I probably wouldn’t do much better to prevent injury trying to catch her, anyway, and I definitely didn’t want to get kicked if she didn’t need me.
Retreating quickly to give her space, she did some complicated twist with the fabric sending herself into a downward spin that froze the breath in my throat. She caught herself about halfway down, transitioning to a flip and catching the fabric around her arms, which sent her into an upright spin as she whipped her legs up into the air again.
Fucking magic.
How much strength did a person need to fling themselves through the air like that? Dayum. Who knew this little omega had so much power packed into her?
Another series of twists and flips finally had her touching down, and my arms were around her before I could blink. I scooped her up with a bout of terrified laughter. “Holy fucking shit, Luna. That was wild!”
She laughed in my arms, snaring her legs around my waist, her eyes glowing with amusement as she dragged my mouth to hers. All of my tension dropped away, instantly replaced by a wave of hot desire.
“Come on, Luca. Let’s take me home and have a little fun. Work was stressful and I need some release.”
She slid to her feet and I groaned at the friction of her core sliding over my embarrassingly hard cock beneath my sweats.
Luna’s bright laughter had my cheeks heating. “Walk close behind me. Don’t want everyone else in the building to get an eyeful, do we?”
I followed after her, insisting on carrying her yoga mats and duffel bag for her, and I loaded them into her car before hopping into my own to follow her to her apartment. My heart was beating a mile a minute. I had only gotten an appetizer at the wedding, and I was more than ready to eat my fill now.
“Welcome to Chez Luna,” she said, thrusting open her front door.
A rush of mango lemonade filled my nose, as potent as if I’d tucked my face to her throat. I looked around, soaking in all of the details, having had no idea what to expect from her home. The fourth-story loft had floor-to-ceiling windows along one side with a spider-like apparatus that stretched to the ceiling with a hoop hanging from the center to hover above a thick mat. The walls that weren’t white-painted brick were a soft Wedgewood blue. The couch was the same blue, and the rest of the furniture was white, prompting me to wonder if it was on purpose so everything blended into the walls. She had no kitchen table, only a breakfast bar with two seats.
There was no sign of a bedroom on this level, so I could only assume that her nest was on the upper level.
“You can put the yoga mats in here,” she said, opening a small closet next to the door. She took the duffel from me and extracted the clothes from her workday and tossed them into a little hamper next to the washer and dryer that were concealed behind another door.
“Nest is off limits, okay?”
A thread of disappointment wove through me, but I understood that an omega might not want to share such an intimate space with just anyone. Whether she would in the future was up for debate. Either way, I could respect that.
