Marked By the Pureblood Alpha (Deanna and Luis) novel Chapter 112

Chapter 112: Demanding a Kiss

Deanna’s Perspective:

I opened my mouth, ready to explain everything, but then the words caught in my throat. Suddenly, it all felt utterly pointless.

Without warning, a firm hand clenched around my waist, pulling me closer.

Luis’s Alpha presence intensified, his voice dropping to a low, gravelly growl. “Answer me.”

My body was pressed flush against his broad chest, the steady, powerful beat of his heart thudding beneath his shirt. The heat radiating from him seared my skin, making me acutely aware of every inch of contact.

My cheeks burned fiercely as anger trembled in my voice. “You’re mistaken! Jake was the one who pulled me—”

Luis’s gaze dropped, locking onto mine with an unwavering intensity.

The grand chandelier above cast fractured shadows across his face, highlighting the sharp, possessive fire swirling in his eyes. For a long moment, he said nothing.

The atmosphere around us seemed to freeze, thick with his unyielding pressure. My heart pounded erratically in my chest, nerves prickling along my skin.

Luis was reckless, proud, and utterly unrestrained. He never cared about rules or the setting, always doing whatever his heart demanded.

I was terrified he might do something reckless right here, in front of everyone.

Then, a sly, almost mischievous smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. “Fine. Then kiss me.”

I froze, eyes wide with disbelief.

Was he serious? Was he completely out of his mind?

Demanding a kiss here, in the middle of the gala, with dozens of eyes on us? He was acting like a desperate pup in heat.

I turned my face away, muttering, “Can you at least behave yourself in public?”

His eyes narrowed, voice sharp as a blade. “What else am I supposed to do? I can smell another Alpha on you. I can’t control myself.”

I lowered my voice. “Everyone’s watching. This is the Muses gala.”

He leaned in closer, his gaze darkening. “You’re mine. Since when do I need anyone’s permission to kiss my woman?”

I had no witty reply. Trapped, I lifted my eyes and tried to negotiate. “Later, okay?”

Luis’s warm breath brushed my ear as he leaned in. “So, whatever I tell you to do, you’ll do it?”

I clenched my jaw, heart racing.

“Fine.”

He chuckled low and darkly.

His laughter slipped into my ears, making my cheeks flush even hotter and my heart thud harder against my ribs.

I shot him a frustrated glare.

The music finally died down, and guests began to drift away from the dance floor.

I pushed Luis gently but firmly away and slipped free from his arms, moving quickly toward the restroom.
