Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

Read Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire Chapter 30 – Was I Not Enough

LEO.

I was ready to hit the gym with Emmet once I had Corrado fed. I was already dressed in grey sweatpants, a white tank top and sneakers. He was still giving me those sad looks, and I wondered if he was just being stubborn or actually missing Azura What’s to miss anyway? An image of her, came to my mind. Pretty much a lot.

F**k that.

“Want to have breakfast with Azura today?” I asked as I flipped the crepes over in the pan.

His eyes widened in excitement, and he nodded.

“Is she back! Yes! Let’s go!” He said, jumping off the worktop.

“Hold up fast guy, we need to get your breakfast made.”

“Oh yes, Azura can’t c**k. We must make her breakfast too, Daddy.”

I frowned.

“She must have food at her place.”

“But you said I’ll have breakfast with her “I only c**k for you.” I muttered, glancing down at him, only to see the sadness in his eyes.

“But this is for me.”

F**k, this kid was good at emotional blackmail.

“Fine.” I frowned and he smiled happily, : as if he hadn’t just been near tears a few seconds ago “Yes! Azura will love your crepes, Daddy!”

“You get crepes for her on one condition. You don’t tell her that I made them, Deal?

“Deal!” He said very fast as he ran to get a tray. Great now I was cooking for her.

Once the two plates of crepes were done, complete with Nutella and strawberries, I placed two glasses on the tray and was about to take the milk carton and a juice bottle out when Corrado grabbed the milk carton from me.

“Daddy no juice, Azura likes milk.” He said this while hurrying to the tray, and placing the milk on it.

I’m sure she f***king does.

I grabbed the tray, frowning down at it.

They sure looked f**king good. Guess I’m a better c**k than her. Not that I’ve eaten anything she’s made, but then again, it would be better not to, because who knows what she’d put into it.

At least she tasted f**king good.

Reaching Azura’s door, I knocked and passed the tray to Corrado; I didn’t want to be seen carrying it. I hoped she got here quickly before he dropped it too.

I watched him. Seeing the excited smile on his face as he watched the door with avid anticipation made me smile slightly.

I’d do anything for him.

The door opened to a sleepy Azura. Her hair was as smooth as ever, but you could tell she had just woken up from the strands that fell in front of her face. Her eyes were half open, her plump lips set in a pout. The oversize shirt she had pulled on last night was hanging off her shoulder, barely covering those thighs of hers…

Totally f**kable.

Her eyes widened when she looked us both over, before she smiled brightly at Corrado.

“Hi, Azura! Daddy said I could have breakfast with you today.”

“Corrado! Oh, that would be amazing!

And pancakes with Nutella. Yummy!” She crouched down slightly and took the tray from him.

–

My gaze dipped to her a*s as she turned and took the tray to the table, Corrado following her excitedly.

I realised the shirt was inside out, meaning she had pulled it on before getting the door…

An image of her in nothing but her lingerie returned to me, and I had to force myself to look away from her a*s.

“No Azura we call these crepes! Daddy made them, but he said I can’t tell you.” He declared and I raised my eyebrow.

Well, he sure didn’t know how to keep a d*mn secret.

“Oh…” Azura for once seemed to not know what to say.
