The Alpha's Secret Luna Chapter 162: Did you Not Like It?

Chapter 161: Did You Not Like It?

Orion stared at her. For a long, suspended second, he wasn’t even sure his brain was processing what his eyes were seeing. Sophia stood in her ho with both hands clamped firmly over her eyes like a child caught doing sothing wrong.

He blinked.

Then blinked again.

Then blinked once more as if willing his eyes to let him know that what he was seeing was a trick and that if he blinked nurous tis then it was going to go away but that didn’t happen.

His voice ca out low, rough with disbelief.

"Are you... covering your eyes?"

Sophia’s tone fired back instantly, sharp and indignant. "Obviously! My hands are over my eyes, aren’t they? What else would I be doing, practicing for blindness?"

"Why?" he asked her incredulously.

She turned slightly, her voice high with outrage. "Why? You just started stripping in front of like it was the most normal thing in the world!"

Orion froze, processing that.

"I started stripping?" he repeated, his voice rising in incredulous amusent. "Sophia, we literally had sex last night."

Her entire body went rigid.

"That’s not the sa thing," she said quickly, refusing to lower her hands.

He raised a brow, incredulous. "Not the sa thing?" His voice was low now, teasing, with that quiet edge that made her chest flutter against her will. "You’ve seen fully naked. You didn’t just see...you touched. You traced over my tattoos. With your hands. And your tongue. You touched the ridges of my body."

Sophia let out a strangled sound that could only be described as a muffled scream. "Orion!"

He folded his arms, eyes gleaming with wicked humor. "And now you’re suddenly shy because I’m showing you my back? When you’ve seen my cock and mind you, you were studying it like it was so specin last night."

She dropped her hands at that, glaring furiously. "I wasn’t in the right state of mind when all that happened!"

The words were out before she could stop them.

Orion blinked. The humor slid from his face, replaced by confusion. "Not in the right state of mind?" His tone was sharper now, cautious. "Wait—what do you an by that?" He took a slow step toward her. "Were you... drunk?"

He stared at her, his jaw tightening slightly as guilt flickered through him. Internally, he cursed himself. Had he been so caught up in the mont that he didn’t realize she was drunk and wasn’t in the right state of mind? Was he really just led on by his own gorniness that he failed to take notice that she was inebriated?

Sophia’s eyes widened at him. "What? No!"

"I wasn’t drunk," she said firmly. "I was a little tipsy, maybe, but not drunk. It wasn’t enough to cloud my judgnt."

His expression softened, but his confusion deepened. "Then what’s the issue?" he asked, voice quieter now, his eyes searching hers. "If you weren’t drunk, then how exactly were you not in the right state of mind?"

Sophia opened her mouth and the truth spilled out before she could think of sothing clever to hide behind.

"Because of you!"

Orion blinked again, utterly thrown. "?"

"Yes, you!" she snapped, her words tumbling out faster now, fueled by exasperation and sothing dangerously close to embarrassnt. "I don’t know how you do it, but every ti you get close, it’s like my brain just stops working. It’s like...like I lose all sense of reasoning and when you kissed yesterday, I...I was a goner just from it. Nothing anyone said could have convinced to not have sex with you."

For a heartbeat, the room was silent.

Then, slowly, Orion’s lips twitched.

The corners of his mouth quivered, fighting against the smirk that desperately wanted to break through.

Sophia saw it instantly. "Don’t you dare," she warned with narrowed eyes.

He tried...he really tried but the amusent in his eyes betrayed him completely. His shoulders trembled as he fought to keep the laughter inside.

"I’m..." he started, but the faintest sound of laughter leaked through his words.

Sophia’s glare intensified. "It’s not funny!"

He cleared his throat, straightening like a soldier being scolded. "No. It is funny. You are telling that the reason why you claim to not be in the right state of mind is because you loose all sense of reasoning when you are around ?" He asked her.

Sophia glared at him as she grumbled. "You heard the first ti."

His lips still twitched. "I never thought I had this much pull on anyone. So you can’t resist the charm of an ogre?" He asked her.

That earned him a glare so deadly it could have turned a lesser man to stone.

"Orion."

He held up his hands defensively, the laughter still dancing in his voice. "What? I’m just stating facts. You were the one who said it with your own mouth, not ."

He chuckled at her. "And to be honest, I thought you’d be stronger than that. Strong enough to resist the charm of the person you call an ogre, a dumbass and an oaf. But it seems you are not strong yo do so after all."

Sophia released a sigh like conversing with him was a chore while Orion was having a field day with what she just told him.

But even with that, he couldn’t shake the feeling that sothing was wrong because if she claid she couldn’t resist him because of his charms, then why was she avoiding him earlier?

Even when she had walked into her ho, she watched from the window to see if there was anyone in his own ho. He noticed that. And she has also refused to answer him when he asked.

He paused as the thought hit him. Could it be that she didn’t enjoy what happened last night? That she didn’t like it? Even if she said she couldn’t resist his charms perhaps he did sothing to make her unsettled.

"Sophia." Orion called out.

"What is it?" She asked with a glare directed at him.

He swallowed nervously because the question he was about to ask, was one he had never asked any of his previous partners.

"Did you not enjoy what we did last night?" He asked her. "Did you not like it?"
