Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

32. Losing It AZURA.

“I meant in a fight.” I muttered.

He raised his eyebrow.

“That‘s what I meant.” He remarked. Wait no he... “Is your mind always in the gutter or do I simply get to you?”

Of course, you do. You damn annoying Rossi.

“Don‘t get so full of yourself.” I scoffed.

“Am I wrong?”

“If I want my mind to be in the damn gutter, I have every right to keep it there. I don‘t need anyone‘s approval.” I retorted, annoyed when he caged me between the worktop once more. “Even if it involves me?”

“Yes, because it‘s my mind, so whether I imagine you naked, or in a pair of neon pink boxers, that‘s my mind, my choice.” 4 “Oh? So if I imagine you naked, that‘s totally ok?” “Why, do you?” I challenged. 1 He didn‘t reply, his eyes trailing over me before they slowly flicked up to meet mine, and I knew I had gotten my answer. I saw him swallow, his eyes darkening when they skimmed to my lips. My entire body was reacting to his closeness. Even with the bond that was hanging by only a thread, only in need of a few words from me to break, I could still feel the intense pull that came with it…

“You broke up with Nikki.” I blurted out.

Wow nice going, Azura. 2 His eyes snapped to mine, and I felt him tense slightly. He suddenly moved back and turned his back on me.

“That‘s none of your concern.” His voice was hard, and I felt a pang of pain wash through me. So did he blame me for that? “I came here to apologise and that‘s what I‘ll do.” His voice was low as he turned back toward me, his gaze falling to my neck. “i’m sorry for marking you, and for rejecting you. I never should have done either.”

Those words cut like a knife, but I did my best to hide the emotions that were threatening to drown me. “Both?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.

His eyes met mine and he nodded.

“Yeah, both. I was clouded by my anger, and I was fighting myself and so I‘m fucking sorry for fucking up your life with what I did. I‘ve already begun working on tracking down this ex of yours and once I have... you can return home.”
