Free Apollo and Val: #5.5 (Luna Lodge Book 0) by Madison Stevens

quietly.
    Val blushed at his words. He always said that to her, and for some reason, it made her feel like a fake. Beautiful people didn’t work with electronics. They didn’t have short hair or get stains on their clothes.
    She looked down and shook her head.
    “This dress is beautiful,” she said quietly.
    Val yelped as Apollo swept her up in his arms again.
    “What are you doing?” she nearly shouted.
    Several of the villagers smiled at them. Some of the younger girls giggled at the display.
    Apollo grunted and carried her away from the party.
    “I’m going to show you just how beautiful you are,” he growled.
    The rumble from his chest vibrated through her body and made her slick with need.
    He took in a deep breath and picked up the pace. After being together for a month, she would have thought she’d be used to him smelling her excitement, but every time it made her blush.
    He pushed open the door and stepped into the hut they would call theirs for the night. Once inside he gently set her back on her feet.
    Val backed up as he moved closer to her, his eyes glowing like bright amber moons. “Shouldn’t we be moving on to meet the others?”
    Apollo’s growl was the only response he offered.
    Val stumbled a little as the back of her legs bumped into the bed. His arms were there for her. Ready to catch her. Protecting her.
    “Why are you always trying to get away from me?” he asked.
    She stared up at him, his face illuminated by the glow of his eyes. Her hand cupped his cheeks.
    “You are more than I could have ever hoped for,” she said sadly. “Knowing I can’t give you the family you need just eats at me.”
    Apollo growled loudly and moved his face just inches from her own.
    “I have you,” he said loudly. “That’s enough.”
    Without another word, his mouth closed on hers.
    She wanted him. She always wanted him, but this was different. She was his. Flaws and all, she was his to keep.
    Val kissed him back with all the love she could, tangling her hands in his hair. Her nails bit into his scalp as she tried to pull him as close as she could in their embrace.
    Apollo pulled back, breathless.
    Val raised her arms over her head. He chuckled a little and pulled the lovely dress off her body.
    He gently pushed her onto the bed.
    She could hear him doing something and gasped in surprise as his naked body slid up her own. With ease, he moved her panties down her legs, careful not to bump the bandage.
    His hands glided over her ribs and circled to her back. As if he’d been doing it his whole life, Apollo unsnapped her bra and tossed it across the room.
    Now naked, they moved freely over one another, feeling and rubbing their bare skin.
    Val pressed light kisses against his neck, feathering them along. He wrapped his arms around her middle and rolled until she sat comfortably on top. Her thighs spread over him, pressing her center against his hard cock.
    Not moving that part of her body, she continued her light kisses on his chest. Loving the way he groaned and tried to shift to make her move, she smiled against his skin.
    “Val,” he said.
    She grinned.
    “Yes?”
    He groaned as she moved her hips over his, his head centered at her entrance.
    “Fuck,” he groaned.
    Val leaned down to his ear.
    “I thought that’s what I was doing,” she whispered.
    She slowly slid down on him, pushing his hard cock deep inside.
     
    Apollo gritted his teeth as she moved her body slowly down his length, pushing him inside a little more with each movement. His hands found her hips, and he rolled with her. Looking down, he stared at her angelic face.
    “Making love,” he said and slid himself deep inside, rotating his hips as he did.
    Val ran her nails down his arms and moaned loudly.
    “I will always make love to you,” he whispered.
    She stilled and looked up at him. Her hands around his neck, she pulled him down for a kiss.
    “Yes,” she whispered.
    Apollo frowned, not quite sure what she meant.
    She
