AZURA.

I gasped when we hit the water with a huge splash, drenching us both.

Leo’s arm snaked around my waist.

He even had the damn audacity to place his hand on my ass for a fleeting moment.

A moment that made my entire body tingle with pleasure. I hated that.

I tried to yank away, clawing at his chest. These nails are sure coming in use!

But I didn’t get far. He grabbed my wrists, twisting them behind my back and against my waist, holding them there with one hand as he pressed me against himself. His white shirt was practically see through, sticking to his skin and making my core clench at how damn good he looked soaking wet.

“Behave.” He commanded, his steel blue eyes boring into mine.

My heart was thumping as I continued to struggle, but it did nothing but make my core throb. I could feel his dick rubbing against me, and despite how my entire body felt hot, or the way our hearts were pounding, I refused to calm down.

“Fuck, let me go!” I hissed, my own eyes flashing.

“Not unless you calm the fuck down.

I seriously won’t let go. Fuck, just listen.” He growled, his free hand taking hold of my chin.

My heart thumped loudly, my anger only rising.

Where have the others gone?

I scanned the area. Weren’t they just here?

“If you’re looking for Winona or Jackie… they left on my command. It’s just the two of us.” He said huskily, forcing my chin up, making me look at him.

Strands of his wet, brown locks tickled my forehead as his words sank in.

“Shame. Now, how about I excuse myself, so you and your bitch of an ex can take a swim in here?” I hissed, twisting my hand until I felt his wrist, and dug my nails into his skin.

He frowned and I wasn’t sure if it was because of my words or the pain, but frankly, I didn’t give a shit.

“Do you have to resort to violence and anger every fucking time?” He growled.

“And if I do? What’s it to you?” I snapped, wriggling in his hold.

His nose brushed mine, and my breath hitched, making me tense. We were too close…

I could see behind his anger and cold exterior, the carnal hunger he was trying to hide… I could feel him hardening against me, and I prayed that my own arousal didn’t reach his nose…

“Fine. Struggle as much as you want, I just won’t let go until you’re done.

He said, running his tongue along his lips.

That piercing…

I swallowed hard, glaring at him.

I needed him to let me go.

For more reasons than just my anger “I think I broke your girlfriend’s nose, why don’t you go check up on her?”

He frowned. “She isn’t my girlfriend.

“I “Oh, but you just had to protect her when she deserved that fucking slap.

I growled, whipping my head to the side, trying to get my hair off my face. He ran his fingers through my hair and brushed it all back slowly almost as if enjoying it. I hated the way my body wanted to relax into him, the way I relished in the sparks…

I could feel his hard dick against my lower stomach, and that same intense heat seemed to settle between us.

“Yeah, she did, but that’s not how Lunas behave.”

My eyes flashed, and my chest squeezed.

“I’m no Luna, remember? So I’ll behave however the fuck I want. Let go of me, or I swear, I’ll claw your eyes out.” I hissed.

He suddenly let go of my wrists, but just when I was about to pull away, his arm snaked around my waist firmly.

“Go ahead, even if you do, I won’t let you go until you have fucking listened to me.” He growled, his voice low and husky.

My heart thundered as I massaged my wrists, wanting to attack him. But when he was letting me, it didn’t seem so tempting anymore…

Instead, I reached up, running my fingers through the long hair on top of his head and twisted my fingers in it painfully, yanking his head back. He didn’t even flinch, simply looking down at me, that chiselled jaw set in an arrogant pout. “I don’t mind pain, carry the fuck on.

He remarked, looking down at me with those gorgeous eyes.

Fuck, stop looking so good…

“What do you want to say? Hurry up before I mess up that pretty face of yours.”

He smirked. “If you wanted to, you would have already done it, right beautiful?”

“Don’t play me.” I said, his words stung…

Don’t call me that when I’m nothing to you.

His smirk faded, his eyes looking into mine almost as if searching for something.

“I didn’t mean to.” He replied quietly, his gaze dipping down to my boobs.

My dress was soaking, and it was clinging to me even more than before. That’s all it was to him… the pull of the mate bond.

“I’ve decided… after we go to Alejandro’s pack… I won’t come back here.” I told him quietly, looking up into his eyes, our faces only inches apart.

Surprise flashed in his eyes as he searched mine. His heart thudded, and I wished I could read his mind, but his walls were up.

His scent was like a dream… It made me giddy, and I felt safe and free…

“The day after tomorrow then.

Alejandro’s set up the meeting between Rayhan and me.” He said quietly.

So soon…

I swallowed and nodded slowly.

Maybe it was for the best…

“Cool, the sooner the better…”

Won’t you stop me? Did you want me in your life or not Leo?

“Yeah… I guess…”

Guess not…

“What did you want to tell me Leo?”

He seemed to hesitate, and I realised his grip on me had eased.

Pull away Azura…

I didn’t. I couldn’t.

Was this the last time he’d hold me?

I let go of his gorgeous chocolate locks, slowly running my hand down the back of his head, paying attention to the sparks that ran through my finger trips.

This feeling… it was magical…

For a moment his eyes closed, almost as if he was enjoying my touch, but I doubted that.

He sighed, opening his eyes, a few strands of his hair flopped sexily in front of his face.

“Nikki, she means nothing to me…

What she said was a lie. After I met you and rejected you, it was hard, trying to act like everything was normal. We did get intimate a few times, but once you taste something so fucking incredible… Nothing else feels good enough. You keep saying that you aren’t good enough for me, but you actually caught my eye at that club before the mate bond even snapped into place. It’s not every day you see a woman just saunter into a strip club alone, looking so fucking fine. Anyway… the only reason I rejected you was because of my anger at the Elite… even though Elijah and Scarlett Westwood have never done anything wrong, they were still related to the Rossis through Kiara… I just… it wasn’t you, I marked you because despite it all, I fucking wanted that… But yeah…”

My heart was thundering, a storm of emotions inside of me, but I didn’t get it. Why now, when I was brave enough to leave? He couldn’t keep playing me again and again…

“Why tell me this now?” I asked

quietly.-

Why? Why confuse me when it’s obvious you hate me…

He frowned, looking down, only for his gaze to dip to my breasts. “My face is up here, you old perve.” I growled, trying not to let the pain of his constant rejection hurt.

A ghost of a smirk lingered on his face as he looked at me arrogantly.

“You can’t stop me from looking wherever I want… I just told you because I don’t want you to fucking misunderstand because of Nikki.” He became serious once more. “So…

since you’re leaving… want to tell Corrado tomorrow about the baby?”
