Page 96 of Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire
“Don’t challenge me because I don’t like to lose.”
His piercing eyes flash, and my heart skips a beat at how close he is. It is suddenly hard to breathe, and a part of me wants to act up to see what he would actually do, whilst another part of me is trying to remember what we were discussing. This tension between us… this closeness…
His eyes dip to my lips and he licks his own. His ball piercing glints under the moonlight and the intense urge to play with his tongue tempts me.Fuck, he has such good lips…
Focus girl.
I can hear your thoughts.His animalistic voice comes through the link and into my haze. I slam up my walls trying to come back to reality.
“Don’t deviate from the topic… you expect me to share my problems… but you can’t share your own?” I ask quietly. He remains silent, his steel blue eyes looking into mine. “Not even with your friends?”Talk to me, Leo.
“Look deeper…”
Dante’s words return to me, and I look intently at the man before me. Leo has so much more to him than one would think. So many have things to say about him, at the academy especially. He is known to be ruthless and cold-hearted. The Rogue Alpha... that is the name they call him. Some who love Alejandro so deeply even go as far as saying they hate him because he doesn’t accept the way of the King and his council, but how could he accept it when he didn’t grow up the way those who make comments had? People are so blinded that they judged others without even listening or trying to learn the full story…
“There is no one that I trust in this world.”
Those words squeeze my heart even though he speaks like he doesn’t care…
I know that he doesn’t want me because of who I am… but he wants this child. I also know he is physically attracted to me, just as I am to him…
The choice of the path ahead is in my hands…
The Path Ahead
Azura
Do I keep away from him? Let him deal with Judah, and leave? Allow him to see his child and somehow live without him? Or do I selfishly fight for him? Do I try to get through to him? Because whether he likes it or not, his nightmares are now mine, too…
“When he loves… he loves deeply…”
Marcel’s words are true. I know they are because I’ve seen the love he has for his son, the love and fear he had when I almost miscarried. Even though he hates who I am, he still looked out for me and still cared to an extent, no matter how much he denies it.
What should I do?
A sharp wind blows, whipping my hair in front of our faces, and I close my eyes. The screams from his nightmare return to me, and my eyes snap open.I will always be there for those who need me.
He reaches over, brushing my hair back, tingles skimming the surface of my skin at his touch. As he brushes the strands back, our eyes meet, and I try to focus on my words.
“Well… whether you like it or not, your dreams are now mine. Your nightmares, too. So whether you tell me or not, I’ll find out everything unless you plan to never sleep again. So maybe I canbe that person you can talk to, since there’s not much you can do about it,” I say, glad my voice comes out clear and confident. His icy eyes flash.
“Then the question is can you handle it? Or will those nightmares drive you insane?” He asks challengingly.
My heart is pounding, and when I shift position, I freeze, feeling his hard shaft against my hip. Goddess…Do not look down, Azura. Do not!Well, it is clear he can’t focus on anything but his dick when he is this close. Seems like this sexy Alpha sure has it bad… even if it is just sexual. I smirk as I look up at him, realising that right now I am the one holding power. Reaching up, I flick a strand of his chocolate locks that flopped onto his forehead.
“I’m already insane, if you’ve forgotten.” I think I see a faint smirk on his lips, but I’m not sure if I imagined it.
“I’d appreciate it if whatever you saw, you kept it to yourself,” he says quietly.
“As long as you promise to tell me everything yourself then.” His brows furrow and I raise my eyebrow. “What’s it going to be, Little Alpha?” He narrows his eyes, gripping my chin in his fingers.
“Don’t antagonise me or…”
“Or what?” I challenge softly. My core clenches, and I feel him throb against my hip.Fuck…My heart is racing, and he is the one to break eye contact first.
“Fine. Just keep your fucking gob shut.” I roll my eyes as he suddenly lets go and turns his back on me.
“Deal,” I reply, staring at his back. “So later, in the morning, you’ll tell me?”
