Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

Uncertainty

WINONA. 1

Outfits… Check…. Food… Check… Décor… Check!

“How’s it going?” I turned when the deep, powerful voice of Alpha Marcel came from behind me. My heart skipped a beat as I watched him tie the top of his hair back into a hair tie as he walked in, his top rising a little and showing off the sinful V of his Adonis belt. I quickly looked away, just as he placed his hands on the top of the sofa rest behind me. 6

He was an incredibly handsome man, and when he looked at me, I felt very self–conscious, half of it due to the fact that I had walked in on Leo and Azura in the kitchen making

My cheeks burned as I tried to get rid of the image from my mind of Azura bent over, with Leo right behind her.

Oh, goddess!

Alpha Marcel chuckled, and I felt my cheeks heat further. To make matters worse, I had slammed right into him, only to fall flat on my behind, and then my gaze fell to the front of his pants, noticing the rather obvious well–endowed package that he was blessed with. I had gotten to my feet and ran from the mansion as fast as possible!

He was still finding it amusing, although I had no option but to return when I collected Corrado. After all, I was helping him with arranging the Alpha and Luna ceremony. Something which was a first for this pack, considering this was the first time the title would be passed down.

“It’s going well, I’ve ordered the clothing you wanted me to. I hope they all like them,” I replied, not daring to turn and look into those warm brown eyes.

I could smell his appealing scent and I could feel he was far too close, feeling the heat of his body, as he leaned over looking at the laptop screen I was working on. It made my heart race trying not to pay attention to him.

“I’m sure they will, you should have taken me up on my offer and gone to my office.” He frowned as he walked around and picked up a list of things we had to take care of, half were already ticked off.

“I’m ok here, thank you.” I replied, my only wish was that he didn’t make me go to the kitchen today.

I needed time to recover from that!

“Did you order yourself a dress?” He asked, raising an eyebrow.

I brushed a strand of my hair back, trying not to pay attention to the few strands of his that refused to be pulled back into the hair tie. “I have the black dress from last time, I don’t need another,” I replied with a small smile. I placed the laptop in my lap and quickly skimmed through the sexy lingerie I was purchasing for Azura from a risqué designer store. Oh, and some fishnet tights, I think Leo liked those on her. 4
