Chapter 331 My Act Crumbled
Leonardo’s POV:
Early the next morning, Natalie’s phone started buzzing before she was even awake. I had been up for a while, holding her and covering her with kisses.
My kisses hadn’t woken her. I was about to turn her phone off when she slipped an arm from my embrace and raised a slender finger.
Her eyes were still closed. She was signaling for me to hand her the phone. I sighed inwardly but dutifully tapped the answer button.
I didn’t put it on speaker. Instead, I leaned close, pressing my head against hers.
Natalie’s POV:
It was Lily’s voice on the phone. “Natalie, there is a meeting this morning. You said…”
“Yes?” I made a vague sound of acknowledgment, still not fully conscious. My brain was still rebooting, unable to form a complete thought.
We’d been mindful of the doctor’s orders and tried not to overdo it. But Leonardo’s sexual stamina was simply astounding and incredibly addictive.
We tried to hold back, but we couldn’t resist.
We ended up making love five times throughout the night. A top-tier Alpha’s physical endurance and sexual prowess were truly something else.
Fortunately, Leonardo was mostly healed, though vigorous activity could still pull at the injuries in his back.
He’d taken his medication beforehand, both internally and applied topically. But he still felt some soreness afterward.
So, two of those times, I used my hands to help him.
Leonardo decided this method worked well. He figured we wouldn’t have to wait until he was fully recovered to resume our “nighttime activities.”
I shot that idea down right away. Even if his injuries were fine, my hands and my own stamina couldn’t keep up.
Lily’s POV:
On the phone, all I heard was a vague word followed by silence, then the sound of steady breathing. Hesitantly, I asked, “Natalie? Are you still asleep?”
“Is this Lily?” A deep male voice came through the line, startling me.
“It’s Leonardo.” His voice held the huskiness of recent sleep and a lazy, gentle warmth.
“Oh! Mr. Sanchez… Did I disturb you?” Breathing sounds, not awake-the two were together!
Leonardo immediately pressed against me, wrapping his arms around me from behind. His warm lips kissed the nape of my neck. “Later, shall we go look at that house?”
“Mmm…” I replied with another hum, heavy with sleepiness and a hint of a whine.
I could tell Leonardo loved seeing me like this. It was rare for me to show this lazy, dependent side with him. He adored it. His arms tightened, and his pheromones turned exceptionally soft and tender.
“I want you to cook for me today.” He started planning, his voice full of open anticipation.
I said, “Mmm…”
He continued, “After the house, we’ll go to the supermarket. Get ingredients you like. And watch a movie tonight.”
“Mhm.” I couldn’t take it anymore. He seemed to get more excited with each idea. His voice was low, but his breath was too close. The warm puffs of air against my ear and neck were ticklish and distracting. My act crumbled.
Finally, I gave in. I turned over abruptly to face him, putting a hand up to block his handsome, too-close face. “Mr. Sanchez, I finally get a long leave, and you’ve already scheduled it tighter than a workday.”
I finally opened my eyes. Morning light filtered through the blinds, casting shifting shadows across his face. It made his features look even more sculpted, and his gaze was extremely tender.
“If you don’t like it…” he said immediately, a trace of tension in his eyes.
“I do like it,” I interrupted with a smile, genuine warmth filling my eyes. “I like doing anything with you.” Even something as ordinary as grocery shopping held meaning, as long as I was with him.
