Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

Beautiful Bond Ch 7. The Family

WINONA.

I let my hair down and turn, my heart is still a mess and I hold my wrist out not caring if

I’m being shameless… If it means I can have the feel of his touch linger on my skin for a

moment longer I don’t need to be asked twice.

He latches the bracelet onto my bare wrist, raises my hand to his lips, and kisses it

softly. “Perfect.”

His eyes meet mine and I smile softly, the sexual tension is strong, and I can see his

struggle, but somehow it only makes me happy… He wants me as much as I want him…

I just need to be brave enough to show him that.

He steps back, letting go of my hand and allowing me to step outside first. He helps me

into his car before strapping me in and closing the door.

Enter title…

What a gentleman.

It takes us at least forty minutes to get there and we have just entered the town where

we will be having dinner at a popular restaurant. The journey was pleasant, and we even

made small talk. A few times, things got a little… intense.

“Have you been here before?” I ask, referring to the restaurant.

“I have. With Alejandro, a couple of times, he’s quite a fan of the food.”

I nod and he smirks as he slows a little, signalling right. As we wait for the oncoming cars

to slow down a little, he looks over at me.

“It’s also one of Leo’s favourite places. I don’t think he realises how similar he is to

Alejandro.” 2

I smile. I saw the similarities when they visited, and I also know Leo doesn’t like the

comparison even though there are some similarities there.

“Well, I’m certain it must be a nice place if they both like it. I have heard good things

about it. Do they know that you are bringing someone?” I ask, feeling nervous as he

parks up in the huge car park at the restaurant that has two fountains at the entrance.

He unbuckles his belt and c*cks a brow.”

Did you want me to?”

“Umm, no I just… maybe I thought it might make the attention less…” I brush my fingers

through my curls, twisting a strand nervously.

“There’s nothing wrong with a little attention. Alejandro and Maria already know there’s

someone I’m interested in, but if you’re happy with me letting them know, I would love to

tell them that you are my fated mate, too.” He says, reaching over as he removes my

my hair. “And before you worry about this being Corrado’s
