Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire novel Chapter 116

116. Pushing for Answers

AZURA.

I look between the father and son, shocked at Leo’s words. Sure, there has been some tension between Winona and Marcel, but with everything going on, I never paid much attention to it.

Leo’s arms are firmly around me, so I can’t move either. Stuck between their intense stare off. Marcel frowns, a flash of irritation on his face.

“I have no idea what you are going on about,

Leo. I have a few things I need to handle.”

“Can we not fucking do this? I’m not stupid. I want an answer.” Leo persists.

“There is nothing to say. You have a misconception. Excuse me.” Marcel replies firmly, before walking past us and out of the door.

Leo frowns, but despite the cold look on his face, his touch is tender as he caresses my stomach.

“There’s definitely something… but I don’t think Marcel will say anything. Shall we ask Winona?” I suggest as Leo exhales, clearly irritated, before his eyes meet mine and he tilts his head.

“Yeah… She might be fucking easier to get information out of.” He replies, his hand wraps around my neck as he forces my head back, and kisses me.

I can feel his hunger, passion and irritation in that kiss and although I know a round of rough sex might make him feel better, I think we need to address this. It isn’t the first time he has subtly mentioned their behaviour in passing, but I think he was trying to deny it up until now…

I had my own assumption, but-

“What is it?” He asks, making my eyes widen.

These damn walls…

Leo flicks my ear, his tongue piercing, hitting my stud, and I shiver as he slowly nibbles on it, his hand around my throat tightening, as the other squeezes my left breast.

“Someone might see us.” I whisper, my heart thumping.

“Then you should keep your volume down.” Leo growls.

As much as that makes my pussy clench, we need to talk to Winona. I pull away, turning, I tiptoe and kiss his jaw softly. The slight stubble that he has growing, prickles my lips and I kiss him again.

Goddess, this man is so damn sexy I could tie him to a bed and fuck him night and day.

Leo smirks cockily, and I narrow my eyes, realising he heard my thoughts again. 1

“No, I didn’t mean that. I mean, I need my legs to function…”

His smirk simply grows as he advances on me until my ass hits the cabinet behind me, and he places his hand on either side of me on the counter.

“I’m up for all of that, however… you will be the one who gets tied up.” He says huskily. I bite my lip. 1

Oh, I wouldn’t mind that…

But instead, I slowly push him away. “We have plenty of time for that later. Now come on, our son has been waiting for you. By the way, how did it go with Kareena?” I ask, I know they mean well, both Leo and Jax, but I also know that it isn’t so easy to just move on and allow someone else to just mark you. Plus, it hasn’t even been that long since Shane has passed away. 1

“Not great, but that’s to be expected. I know it was insensitive, soon even, but I don’t want to lose her.” He says, frowning slightly.

“I know Blue Eyes… but she needs time…” I say softly. 1

“Time that we don’t have.” He replies.

I nod, hearing a door shut and know it’s Winona since she went to drop Corrado to one of the pack kid’s birthday parties.

“Come on.” I say, feeling sorry for the poor soul we were about to question. Winona will crack like glass with a little pressure. I smile deviously as I lead the way down the hall to see her collecting some toys from the floor in the living room.

“Hey, you’re back.” I say, bending down and helping her with a few of the blocks.

“You sit Azura, I’ll do this.” She says. You’re pregnant.”

“Exactly, I’m just pregnant.” I reply, “Trust me, I’m still very flexible.”

I wink at Leo, making Winona blush.

There’s something extremely satisfying about getting her all embarrassed and flustered. 1

‘You really do have an evil streak.’ He smirks.

‘Of course.’ I reply as I place the blocks into the pack, and sit down on the sofa.

“Winona, I have a few questions that I wanted to ask you.” Leo says seriously.

Her smile fades and she looks at us, worry clear on her face.

“Oh? What is it?” She asks worriedly as she zips up the pack of blocks.

“What’s going on between you and Dad?” Leo says. Her face pales and her heart thunders loudly as she looks up, reminding me of a deer caught in headlights. 1

She looks at the door, then at both of us, and for a moment, I feel guilty. I didn’t mean to make her feel cornered…

“Hey, it’s ok… We’re just concerned. You two act a little… ok really on edge around one another. I mean, when I first came, you were all smiles when you talked to him, and you lot planned that party and stuff together … and now you two avoid one another…” I say.

She shakes her head, but I don’t miss the way she swallows. “There is nothing going on between us, there is no issue, everything is ok.” She says, looking between Leo and me and damn, if she wasn’t so sweet, I would have pushed her further. It’s these pregnancy hormones, I’m becoming mush.
