She had never known Levi could be like this, so unhurried and so effortlessly captivating. With every motion, he drew her deeper, until thoughts of the entity stirring within her faded completely.
She was spellbound by him alone, by the cadence of his voice, by the way it seemed to resonate inside her, as though he were speaking directly to her soul, calling to her most unguarded self.
It was a sensation she had never experienced with her other mates, something unfamiliar and almost unreal. For a fleeting moment, she wondered if she was being hypnotized... or if this was simply desire finally shedding all pretense. Perhaps her body was only answering him honestly, even as her mind struggled to catch up, caught somewhere between denial and surrender.
But right now, every one of Levi’s touches left behind a trail of heat, a lingering tingle that made it impossible for her to think. He didn’t give her even a second to steady herself before his attention drifted lower, his lips brushing along her sensitive neck. He nibbled at the soft spot where his mark should have been, gentle yet deliberate, while his thumb continued its slow, maddening strokes across her lips.
"I want all of you..." Levi murmured.
His voice was low, rough around the edges. "Maybe you thought I wasn’t selfish, possessive, or domineering like the others..."
He paused, teeth grazing her skin a little harder this time, just enough to draw another moan from her lips. Still, he didn’t bite down fully. It was a tease, controlled and intentional.
"And I thought so too," he continued, his breath hot against her neck. "Maybe I convinced myself, and everyone else, that because I’m a Beta, I shouldn’t have the same hunger as an Alpha."
But his restraint fractured when it came to her.
"But when it’s you..." Levi let out a low growl, frustration and desire tangled together. "God, Addison, you’re ruining me."
His hand slid from her lips to her throat, large and warm, fingers curling there with unmistakable possessiveness. It was not tightening, just enough to remind her that he was there, that he wanted her, that he was holding himself back only by sheer will.
Addison felt the pressure at her throat, yet instead of fear, a thrill coursed through her. Anticipation curled low in her stomach, making her breath slow and uneven. Levi’s eyes glinted with a dark possessiveness she had never seen before, making him look dangerous, intoxicating, and utterly seductive.
The pull she felt toward him was overwhelming, different from the familiar tug of the mate bond. It felt rawer, more personal, as if she were drawn to him simply because she wanted him.
"Levi..." she whimpered softly, her voice breathless.
His knee nudged her legs farther apart, and her body reacted instantly, heat pooling deep within her as her gaze locked onto his. His eyes seemed to tell a thousand stories, which were filled with desire, restraint, and longing, all laid bare for her to see. They pulled her in, made her feel everything he felt without a single word spoken, until it seemed she might drown in the depths of them.
Levi caught the scent of her arousal in the air, and his eyes flashed gold. "Addie..." he growled, pulling her closer as he pressed himself against her, the hard length of his cock rubbing over her lower abdomen. "Feel what you’re doing to me. I’m so fucking hard for you, Addie."
The low vibration of his voice reverberated through her chest, sending a shiver racing down her spine. His warm breath brushed against her skin, teasing and intimate, and even though Levi hadn’t truly touched her yet, every nerve in her body felt painfully alive. Anticipation sharpened her senses until each breath that grazed her skin felt like an indecent caress.
And God, she was unraveling from just this.
Addison couldn’t stop the soft whimper that slipped from her lips as the tingling heat spread through her body, desire coiling tighter and tighter with every second he held her there.
Then Levi slowly rolled his hips, deliberately teasing her, as if he could sense exactly what he was doing to her body and mind, and was enjoying every second of it. His gaze never left her face as Addison bit down on her lower lip, struggling to steady her wildly pounding heart and the uneven rhythm of her breathing.
His knee hovered dangerously close to her wet pussy, and the instinct to move against him grew stronger with every heartbeat. She wanted to feel him, needed to, and his unhurried teasing only made it worse. Her thoughts blurred, her mind short-circuiting until all she could think about was how badly she wanted him, how desperately she wanted that closeness.
The fact that they were outside, that the timing was all wrong, barely registered anymore. Even the look in Levi’s eyes, as if he already held her completely in his grasp, didn’t anger her.

He wanted more.
