Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire novel Chapter 3

AZURA.

I moved back, my heart thumping. He must have heard me, he must have smelt me.

What the hell do I do?

Judah was dangerous, but the man standing a few metres from me screamed of power and danger of a far higher calibre.

I needed to get out of here before he saw me, but how do I do that?

“We can continue this another day. Reschedule.” His deep velvety voice, that sent shivers of desire through me, came.

Oh fuck, that voice was hot.

Come on Azura, breathe steadily and focus.

“Ah, of course.”

“Absolutely.”

I didn’t dare move as I heard the rest recede, but my mate remained. The doors shut and I closed my eyes in defeat, he had remained.

“Why don’t you step out from your hiding spot.” His voice came. I closed my eyes, any dream I had that I would be able to escape from him was gone.

Slowly I stood up and turned, staring at the man before me. If I had thought he was the epitome of sexiness and dominance before, he was a thousand times hotter when you saw him properly. His scent intoxicated me, and I felt lightheaded as he slowly removed his shades and I looked into the pair of coldest ice-blue eyes I had ever seen. Eyes that trailed over me, but gave away nothing.

He was tall, maybe around six-foot-six. His muscular arms strained with his bulging biceps, I noticed that he had three piercings in his right ear and one in his left.

“Who would have thought I’d be given a human…” He muttered so quietly I almost didn’t hear him.

“I’m not human.” I replied coldly.

He looked up into my eyes with a glimmer of interest in those cold ones.

“Then join me for a drink.”

It wasn’t an offer, but a command.

The very temptation to turn and run away from him consumed me, but I couldn’t. As much as I hadn’t wanted to find my mate, the curiosity to know what kind of person the goddess had made for me won, and I found myself nodding.

He came over to the bar, I had to admit that his posture and attitude spoke volumes. This was a man who knew what he wanted, and he got it.

The temptation to tell him about Judah and why I was up here almost overcame me, but I couldn’t, this was not his fight and he hadn’t asked why I was up here.

But something told me I had walked straight into the wolf’s den.

“Do you like your drink strong or light?” He asked after dropping his jacket onto the sofa.

“Strong, although I don’t think there’s anything you have to offer that could work on me.” I mused, staring at the window that looked down upon the club.

“Don’t be so sure.” His arrogant reply came.

I turned to him as he poured a green liquid into two glasses, before he held one out to me.

“What is this?” I asked, looking at it curiously.

“Absinthe.” He replied with a small cold smirk, before he raised the glass. I clinked mine against his, looking surprised.

Absinthe…

“Isn’t this illegal here?” I asked, unable to stop the curiosity that seeped into my mind.

“Being up here without permission is illegal too. This is the only drink that can really take the edge away. Clearly four bottles of whiskey didn’t work for you.” He remarked mockingly.

My heart skipped a beat, had he seen me? I looked down below, only to see the booth I was sitting at was in plain sight…

“So you were watching me?”

“You may have caught my eye. Not many women do.”

I didn’t miss the ‘many’ in that sentence.

He stepped closer and I found myself looking into those dangerous eyes of his.

“You wanted to run when you realised that we were mates.”

He knew.

I took a sip of the alcohol.

Oh, this was strong…

The taste was intense, but I liked it.

“I think you would actually be happy if I ran, I’m a nightmare you do not want in your life.”

“Funny that you should refer to yourself as a nightmare, you look far from one, but even I know not everything that looks like a dream is one.”

I could picture waking up to this hunk every day…

“I do have pretty high standards in some departments.” I replied haughtily, staring into his eyes.

The faintest smirk crossed his lips as he ran the knuckles of his free hand down my waist, making my heart thump in anticipation. His body was barely inches from mine and the urge to press my thighs together was incredibly strong.

“Good, let’s just hope you can handle me.” His seductive reply came.

We were chest to chest, and he parted my legs with his knee, making my core clench.

“Shall we try and see?” I asked seductively, a challenging glint in my eyes.

He may be an Alpha, but I wasn’t just anyone.

Still holding my glass, I locked my arm around his neck, pressing myself against him, placing my free hand on his abs.

“Confident.” He mused, running his fingers up the side of my waist still so tantalisingly slow, the urge to moan overwhelming me but I kept it in.

“Incredibly, I am not a submissive little good girl.”

“See the thing is…” he trailed off, smirking as he pressed his body against me. “Good girls get fucked and bad girls… bad girls get punished. Which is it going to be?”

His tone made me bite my lip, my arousal scenting the air and I knew he could smell it.

“Then you’re going to have to punish me, Alpha.” I whispered, hooking my fingers into his belt and pulling him against me, just as he grabbed my hair.

His lips met mine in one incredibly mind-blowing hungry kiss, that sent pleasure erupting through my body. Tingles and sparks rippled through me wave after wave as his lips dominated mine, fuelled by power, hunger, and desire. A kiss that was out of this world and one that I knew had ruined all men for me.

I heard my glass shatter as it hit the floor behind him, but neither of us cared.

His plush lips were heaven and sin all at once, and I found myself fighting for dominance, our tongues dancing against one another as our hands travelled over the other’s bodies, feeling and groping every inch that we could get our hands on. His tongue was pierced and the sensation of it felt so damn good.

My body was on fire, my pussy clenching at his touch. It was rough yet sensual, turning me on so strongly I was unable to hold back the sounds of pleasure that left my lips. I moaned, feeling his huge, hard cock press against my stomach.

Oh fuck.

I wanted to pull his pants down and take his cock in my mouth, but before I could even begin to undo his belt, he pulled back, his eyes a dazzling steel blue.

“Let’s get the fuck out of here.” He growled huskily, breathing hard as he looked me over.

I nodded, not needing to be told twice. I wanted him here and now.

Oh goddess, I’m done for.
