Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

39. A Sizzling Dinner

AZURA.

Corrado was thrilled to see me and was showing me the entire apartment. The delicious smell of food was making me lick my lips, or was that his scent? I wasn‘t sure... either way this place smelt divine.

Kiara and Alejandro had left after lunch and although I‘d miss them, I was glad I at least got to see them for a short while, Kiara‘s parting words were to take care of myself, and the baby, along with a not–so–subtle comment to talk to Leo and try harder... In what way... well I knew what she wanted and hoped for.

Think before acting Zu.

Marcel had asked if I wished to stay at the mansion, but I had politely declined, deciding to return to the apartment beneath Leo‘s.

The short conversation I had with him now replayed in my mind.

(EARLIER THAT DAY...)

“Thank you for everything.” I said looking at Marcel, we had just walked Al and Kia to the pack borders.

“I‘m afraid I didn‘t do enough, but I can assure you Emmet will be punished for what he tried to do. I know my son, and I know he has a level head on his shoulders most of the time.” We walked alongside each other as we made our way back.

“I know...” I said, placing my hand on my stomach.

Leo would protect this pup... “I am happy that I‘m going to be a grandfather again.” He smiled, and I smiled back

“Yes, I just fear that this one might just be a little monster brewing, with parents like us.”

I wanted to say like Leo... but I know I was psycho too.

Marcel let out a chuckle. “Well kids aren‘t always like their parents; Leo is nothing like me or his mother for that matter ...” His smile faded to a softer, tender one, and I knew he was remembering her. “Petra was a very caring woman, with a good heart, strong yet gentle at the same time...” 3 A frown creased his brow, and he sighed.

“Are you ok?” I asked hesitantly.

“Of course... just my time with her and the memories are so vague... fleeting even, because I don‘t remember much... She died when Leo was still rather young...” (END)

The memory of Leo‘s dream had returned to me, and I wondered how much Marcel knew, or didn‘t know

Didn‘t he have a right to know?

“And this is Daddy‘s room!” Corrado‘s excited voice brought me out of my reverie. “Corrado.” Leo‘s voice came with a subtle warning. I skimmed the room, there was no sign of a woman living there... I guess Nikki really did move out… I glanced at the bed and couldn‘t deny that a pang of jealousy and pain rushed through me at the thought of them both in that bed. I might be pregnant with his pup... but I had never slept with him.

Not that I wanted to.

Although, I don‘t think I would be able to sleep if he was in my bed. 1

Urgh, focus Azura.

Now I really sounded like a hormonal pregnant woman.

“Ok Azura, let‘s go have dinner, Daddy worked very hard!” He took my hand, tugging me to the table, and I followed.

I could feel Leo‘s eyes on me. I had literally gone through everything before selecting this skirt, and it would be lying if I didn‘t admit that I had chosen this skirt on purpose. I knew that Leo had a thing for my legs, and it was pretty satisfying knowing I had that hold on him. I really didn‘t know what I wanted, or what the future held, but it was kind of fun to see him struggle to control himself. I also wouldn‘t deny the fact that I enjoyed his attention. I looked at him as he placed a platter of grilled chicken on the table, along with a bowl of chips. There was a platter of rice and some nuggets too. Goddess, the food looked so damn good.

“Daddy cooked.” Corrado declared, and I smiled. “Your Daddy is pretty good at a lot of things, right?” I asked, ruffling his hair. “Oh yes. Daddy is good at everything.” 3

He nodded and I made the mistake to look at Leo, who was placing a wooden tray containing four sauces on the table. Why was seeing him in this setting so crazily hot...

I know Raven found Liam cooking hot, but I never got it, I just felt like, yay I am going to get food in front of me... but then Leo.

His eyes snapped up to mine and my heart skipped a beat.
