Defy The Alpha(s) novel Chapter 118

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?"

Violet held her ground as she asked, "Are we together, like... together? Or is this just casual?"

Alaric didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he stepped closer, forcing Violet to step back until her hips hit the edge of his work table that was cluttered with electronic components and laptops. With effortless strength, Alaric swept everything to the side and lifted Violet onto the table. Then he positioned himself between her thighs, spreading her legs to pull her closer.

"Does this look like something casual to you?" he asked, his voice intentionally slow, as he ground his restrained erection against her, leaving no room for doubt.

Violet swallowed hard, the tension between them thick enough to cut with a knife. Her body ached for him, but she needed clarity.

"I’m addicted to you," Alaric said, his voice low and gravelly. "And I’m afraid there’s no going back now." He leaned in, his lips trailing down her neck as he nipped and kissed her skin, leaving her gasping and sighing.

Violet was tempted to give in, but she still had questions. "I know about Elsie and the deal with the Alpha King."

Alaric froze against her, his guilt visible in the tension of his shoulders. Pulling back, he met her gaze.

"I don’t have feelings for Elsie," he said honestly. "But I won’t lie.I might end up with her. It’s... complicated."

"I understand," Violet said, surprising him. "I don’t mind your situation, as long as you don’t cheat on me with her while we’re together. When we graduate, if you choose her, so be it. But while we’re together, you’re mine."
