Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

Beautiful Bond Ch 3. Jealous

“No.” Leo says firmly from where he’s standing with his arms crossed, leaning against the door.

I nod in agreement, trying not to stare at myself in horror. Azura glares at us both.

“Why? I did really good.” She says, frowning as she holds the blusher brush in her hand. It’s Corrado’s birthday today and Azura was adamant to get me ready herself. She looks stunning, with sultry shimmery make-up and glossy lips.

“She looks like a h*oker or something.” Leo frowns, making me look down, ashamed.

Azura narrows her eyes. “You never have an issue when my make-up is dark. Do I look like a h*oker to you too?”

Obviously not, but you’re mine.” He replies possessively, and I wonder if I should sneak away and wash this all off whilst they are eye-s**xing each other…

“So now you’re going brother mode or something?” Azura isn’t happy, and I take another peek in the mirror. Red lipstick, soft shimmer on the eyes with a smoky black liner… It’s so much darker than I’m used to! And for a kid’s party? She chuckles and I look up. “Or protective son mode?” She snickers. 1

“Baby Girl, wipe that s*t off her face and let her f*cking just be her normal self.” He says. 2

“No, the aim is to get Daddy Marcel all hot for the s*xy Nanny.” She states, making me stare at her –mortified. 5

That makes it sound so much worse!

“F*cking hell.” Leo groans as he comes over and pulls her into his arms.

Ok time to make my exit!

I smoothly get off the stool, I’m just about at the door, safety within my grasp when Azura shouts out.

“You are not to remove that makeup!” She says firmly. “Luna’s orders.”

“Yes…” I say disappointed as I glance at Leo for help, but he’s far too busy checking out her boobs in that strapless sky-blue dress.

I smile despite my own dilemma; they are a perfect couple. I quickly exit trying to not blush at their intimacy.

“And go put that dress on!”

I wince at Azura’s command and sigh. I didn’t want to stand out, but I can’t refuse a Luna’s orders.

It’s a while later and music is blaring in the garden that is decorated in dark blue, white, and silver. The birthday boy is wearing blue jeans with a white shirt that matches his father’s outfit. Phoenix is wearing a sky-blue party dress. I myself am wearing a shimmery white dress that Azura had purchased for me, but it’s got these tiny straps that make me scared they will snap. It’s sticking to me like a glove and the push- up strapless bra is making me indeed look like a h*oker!

I haven’t dared step out into the open, keeping myself busy and hidden away.

“Winona, that’s all the food done. Can you please be a dear and take this last tray?” Rosaline asks me, passing me a silver platter to put on the buffet table.

Now I need to go out there….

Taking a deep breath, I step outside and carry the large platter full of grilled kebabs to the table. Placing it in its slot, I bend down to check that the heat is on low beneath it when I feel someone watching me.

My heart thunders as I slowly stand straight and adjust the lid. The wind blows my hair over my shoulder, and I slowly brush my hair over my shoulder trying to keep it from blowing all over the place.
