Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 527: The L Word

They had no choice but to call Asher and brief him on the situation.

Violet stayed quiet, watching Roman with the phone pressed to his ear, his usual cocky air stripped away as he listened intently to Asher’s voice on the other end. They had always been close, and seeing Roman draw strength from that bond made her heart settle in a way nothing else could.

"Here you go," Roman said, handing her the phone when he was through. "Asher wants to speak to you."

Violet’s heart skipped. Butterflies stirred in the pit of her belly as she accepted the phone, a nervous smile tugging her lips. It was ridiculous, wasn’t it? The prophecy said she was destined for all four of them, yet doubt always slipped in. What if the second bond dulled what she felt for Asher and Alaric?

But the moment she heard his voice, those doubts burned to ash.

"Hello, baby girl."

Holy Maker.

Heat rushed through her like someone had lit a fire in her stomach and let it spread to her chest, her neck, every part of her. His tone was deep, and rough, carrying that dangerous promise he always seemed to wear like a second skin. A voice like that had no business on the phone. Yes, she knew where it belonged, and it was in dark bedrooms.

Just the sound of it traveled through her veins like liquid fire. A girl could orgasm on the spot from that alone without him even laying a hand on her.

"Hi—h-hello, babe," Violet stammered, trying desperately to lace her words with some sex appeal, but the goddess knew that failed miserably.

Asher chuckled. The low, dark rumble vibrated against her ear as though he’d crawled straight through the phone to whisper against her skin. Her knees nearly buckled.

Violet swallowed, her pulse hammering. Goddess, what was she doing?

She cursed under her breath. Violet Purple! You are not getting turned on by a voice, are you?
