Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 118: No Guilty Pleasure

The kiss between them was fiery and unrestrained now that they were alone. Alaric’s lips devoured Violet’s with the intensity of a storm, leaving her breathless. Violet responded with equal fervor, her hands gripping his strong shoulders as her body pressed into his.

Alaric walked her backward until her back met the cold wall, trapping her against it as his lips claimed hers again with the force of his raging emotions.

As if the kiss wasn’t enough, Alaric broke it briefly, his breathing heavy. He took off the gloves that he had been wearing all this while to protect the truth that Violet was immune to his lightning. Not in front of the whole school.

But now they were alone, he wanted to be free. To kiss her without any hindrance knowing he could never hurt her. He wanted her to feel every brim of her power, for her to soak it up, to know how much his lightning raged for her.

When his bare hands touched her, the energy rushed into her like a current. Violet gasped, her head tipping back as the power surged through her veins, igniting every nerve ending.

Alaric had let his lightning flow freely, and now it sang inside her, amplifying her arousal until it was a raging storm. She looked into his eyes, now electrified and glowing with his power, and understood why he loved his gift. It was intoxicating. Addicting.

He kissed her again, harder this time, and Violet couldn’t stop the loud moan that escaped her lips. The raw power coursing through her body only heightened her need, making her molten core flood with desire. Her pants felt damp, clinging to her skin, and she was sure they’d dissolve entirely if this continued.

But Violet hadn’t come here for just this. Gathering all her willpower, she pushed against Alaric’s chest, breaking the kiss. His hooded, intense gaze burned into her as he groaned, clearly frustrated. He tried to lean in again, but Violet sidestepped him.

"We need to talk about us." She said to him.

Alaric sighed, the sound heavy with reluctance. "Fine," he said, his tone low and rough. "Let’s talk. What do you want to know?"

"Are we together, like... together? Or is this
