Mated to My Intended's Enemy novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127: Chapter 127 The Cellar Door

Victoria

The cellar door creaked open as Leo guided me down the stone steps into his private wine sanctuary beneath the villa. The temperature dropped noticeably, a welcome relief from the Mediterranean heat above, but my skin still prickled with heat that had nothing to do with the weather.

"I’ve been thinking about you all day," Leo murmured, his breath hot against my neck as he pressed me against the ancient stone wall. The rough texture scraped gently against my back through the thin fabric of my dress, a delicious contrast to the smooth warmth of his hands as they traveled up my sides.

After our reconciliation at the beach, the tension between us had transformed into something more primal, more urgent. Each glance, each "accidental" touch during dinner had wound the coil of desire tighter within me. Now, in the dim amber lighting of the wine cellar, that tension threatened to snap.

"Have you?" I teased, but my voice betrayed me, coming out breathless and wanting as his teeth grazed the sensitive spot where my neck met my shoulder. My wolf, Ava, stirred within me, eager and demanding.

"You know I have." One of Leo’s hands tangled in my hair, tilting my head back to expose more of my throat to him. His alpha dominance thrilled through me as he claimed the tender flesh with his mouth, marking me. "I can smell your arousal, little wolf. It’s been driving me crazy since the beach."

The new diamond wolf necklace he’d given me caught the light as I arched against him, the cool metal between my breasts a stark contrast to the heat blooming everywhere else. Leo’s eyes flashed gold as they fixed on the symbol of his claim against my skin.

"Mine," he growled, the possessive declaration sending a flood of wetness between my thighs.

"Yours," I agreed, my fingers fumbling with the buttons of his shirt, desperate to feel his skin against mine. "Always yours, Alpha."

With a growl that was more wolf than man, Leo spun me around, pressing me face-first against the wall. His body caged mine from behind, one muscular arm braced beside my head while his other hand gathered the material of my dress, bunching it slowly upward.

"Do you know what it does to me when you call me that?" His voice was rough with desire, his accent thickening as it always did when his control began to slip. "When my Luna acknowledges who she belongs to?"

The cool air kissed my thighs as my dress inched higher, Leo’s fingers trailing fire in their wake. I pushed back against him, feeling the impressive evidence of his arousal pressing against my lower back.

"Show me," I challenged, turning my head to meet his gaze over my shoulder. "Show me what it does to you."

Something dark and hungry flashed in Leo’s eyes before his mouth crashed down on mine, consuming, demanding. The kiss was all teeth and tongue, a claiming that left no room for doubt about who was in charge. When we broke apart, both panting, he spun me back around to face him.

"I intend to," he promised, dropping to his knees before me.

The sight of him—this powerful alpha wolf, feared by enemies across continents—kneeling at my feet sent a thrill of feminine power through me. But any sense of dominance evaporated when his large hands gripped my thighs, pushing them apart as his mouth descended on the sensitive flesh above my knee.

"Leo," I gasped as his teeth nipped at the inside of my thigh, leaving marks that would remind me of this moment tomorrow. "Someone could come down here."

He chuckled against my skin, the vibration sending shivers up my spine. "Let them. The entire pack knows you’re mine." His fingers hooked into the sides of my panties, dragging them down with excruciating slowness. "Besides, I locked the door."

Before I could respond, his mouth was on me, his tongue finding my most sensitive spot with unerring accuracy. My head fell back against the stone wall with a thud as pleasure shot through me, my fingers tangling in his dark hair to anchor myself against the onslaught of sensation.

"Oh god," I moaned as he slid one thick finger inside me, then another, curving them to hit the spot that made stars explode behind my eyelids. "Leo, please..."

"Please what?" he murmured against me, the vibration of his words sending another jolt of pleasure through my core. "Tell me what you need, Luna."

"You," I managed, my voice breaking as he increased the pace of his fingers. "Inside me. Now."
