Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

59. Something I wasn‘t Expecting AZURA.

I stayed in the bath for a while, and when I heard the door open, I knew Leo had returned. I got out of the bath with my jelly legs and entered the shower. I washed as quickly as I could. The soak in the bath had helped, and I felt lighter.

Through the steamed glass, I saw him enter the bathroom, placing something over the heater before he left.

I stepped out after a few minutes, grabbing a towel from the shelf and towelling my hair with it. I reached over, wiping the mist from the glass, and inspected my reflection. My skin was glowing, my lips looked even plumper from all that kissing, and I had several marks littering my neck. I bit my lip as memories flashed through my mind. I couldn‘t stop smiling like a lovesick airhead.

I felt good. He wanted me. He‘d countless times told Nikki to get the hell away from him. Well bitch, he‘s mine now. Try messing with him again and I will claw your eyes out and toss them into a blender. 5

I smirked at my own thoughts. Down girl. I looked around, realising he had left me some underwear, and a pair of satin pyjama shorts and Cami on the heating rail. Had to admit he was considerate.

After drying my body, I got dressed in the black set and entered the bedroom, trying my best not to walk as if I had tree trunks for legs.

The bedding was changed, and the smell of sex was almost gone. He had placed the food bags on the bedside cabinet as he did something on his phone, a frown creasing his brows. 2 He looked up when I entered and put his phone away. His eyes raked over me. When I didn‘t forget how I had sat on his face letting him eat my pussy just hours ago, I still felt very conscious of his gaze. “Come here.” He said, making my eyebrow shoot up. “Why?” I asked suspiciously. He smirked slightly as he stood up and reached over, taking hold of my wrist and pulling me closer.

“Cause I want to kiss you.”

I froze when his lips met mine, sending delicious tingles through me, my heart racing

Goddess, when did he get so damn flirty?

I kissed him back, my core clenching once more. The ball piercing of his tongue flicked my tongue, and I was unable to stop the moan that escaped me, His arms were wrapped around my waist tightly, and he pulled me against him completely, his hand resting on my ass, the

other cupping the side of my face and the back of my neck.

We kissed for a few sizzling moments, our bodies reacting to each other, and we were getting turned on again. He forced himself away, leaving me breathless. I knew if he didn‘t pull away, I had a feeling we would be going for another couple rounds. My stomach ruinbled and I pouted when he chuckled lightly.

“Let‘s feed that monster.” He said mockingly.

“It‘s not a monster. I‘m the monster.” I retorted, plopping onto the bed, and grabbing the food bags.

“Yeah, I believe that.”

I gave him a narrow–eyed look as I opened one of the bags. “Never knew you could be so considerate.” I remiarked, seeing how the bag had everything from tissues and disposable cutlery. “That was Winona‘s doing.” He said, picking up the bottles of drinks and biting the metal caps off.

Damn, that looked so hot.

Mama. I know you kept pushing me away, but I didn‘t want him to feel like he wasn‘t wanted.” I whispered, my grip tight on the pot. “I was ready to stay for him, and this one.” I placed my hand lightly on my stomach. His gaze dipped to my stomach, his eyes softened, and I remembered the moment

But if anything were to happen to me, and I know I‘m swinging this shit at you so suddenly, but will you be willing to let me put you down as Corrado‘s legal guardian?” His words shattered me in ways more than his rejection ever had, and I almost crumbled before him, but I needed to
