Sexting With A Vampire
Chapter 131

Nora

The day is finally over, and I jump out of Rebecca's car with plenty of bags, makeup, and new clothes. My husband comes from money, and Rebecca said it won't hurt him to use a little of it. So I did, and n It must be my mom.

She texted me a hundred times today while I was shopping with Rebecca, asking me how things were Either way, she invited me over for dinner, and when I asked about Lily, she said my sister had just va She probably isn't over the fact I married the man she had been crushing on her entire childhood and I continue walking for the door, noticing an envelope is hanging on the door handle. Immediately, wit Hesitantly, I let my bags fall to the floor. I then take the envelope in my hands. There is loud rustling i I should probably head inside.

I pick up the bags again and try to open the door, panicking once I realize it's been locked. No-no-no!

I don't think I brought any keys!

The bushes rustle behind me again, and I look over my shoulder. As expected, nothing is there, but I c

with Leo. I like that she wanted to know. But when I called her back, I couldn't say much. It's not like I've lived at Leo's place for long.

She has chosen to go rogue. And when the phone was handed to Evan, my dad, he told me to be on my guard since Lily could potentially be dangerous.

ushes behind me, and I get the creepy feeling I'm being watched.

I'm being watched. It creeps into my bones, and I shudder multiple times.

I hate this. My heart is racing. The skies are dark, and no one is out on the street. I bang on the door. A cold sweat has broken out over my skin. I don't know what is out there, but I don't want to stay to find out.

A snarl fills my ears. It sounds like a werewolf, or maybe more than one, and when the door opens, I fl forward. I crash into Leo's chest, and without thinking, I wrap my arms around him.

He turns tense, surprised by the immediate contact. But I'm not thinking straight and don't let go of him ustead, I close my eyes and tighten my grip. "Thank you for opening the door!"

Leo relaxes, stroking a giant hand from my head down to my back. It feels so great, and he chuckles." Snorting, I back up from him. "Sorry... I just..." I glance behind me, and Leo's face turns serious.

He reaches out an arm, closing the door. "Your heart is pounding. Did something happen?"

get used to you being this cuddly whenever you get home from a shopping trip. Please go use my card again anytime you want."

"I-I don't know... I came home, and there was an envelope hanging on the door. I grabbed it, and it just felt like I was being watched. There was even rustling in the bushes. Growling."

Leo searched my face before letting his eyes drop to the envelope. My hands are shaking, and he carefully takes the envelope from me without breaking eye contact.

"Do you mind if I check what is inside?"

I try to make light out of the situation by humoring him. "Well, you already read my diary, so what does this letter matter?"

Leo smiles, but it doesn't quite reach his eyes. He seems more concerned than anything and opens the envelope. It feels weird having him do that. I've never had a boyfriend, much less a husband, but I can already tell Leo is the overprotective kind. The thought makes heat throb in my chest. I know Leo and I only married each other because I'm the third time guardian, and I'm his chosen mate by fate, but...

Looking at his long eyelashes, lush lips, and the kindness in his green eyes makes me tingle and want more from him. I want to get to know my husband, and secretly to anyone else but me, I hope it might make us fall in love.

Is that silly?

"I'm cooking dinner right now," Leo peers down at me, smiling knowingly when I avert my eyes from his biceps. I think he is already figuring out that I go stupid seeing them.

"Oh," I blush. "What are you making?"

"Orange chicken. I hope that and some fried rice is okay with you? I could whip together something else..."

My heart gives a little squeeze. If I don't count my dads, I've never had a man cook me dinner before.

"Orange chicken sounds amazing."

Leo's facial expression grows tender but changes the minute he uses a claw to rip up the envelope. There seem to be photographs inside, and Leo's eyes glow before I hear the door lock behind me.

He used his powers and continues to use them as I hear windows and doors closing inside the entire mansion.

Leo's face is darkened, cast in shadows when I look up at him. It frightens me and makes me take a step back from him. Is he angry with me? Should I leave?

"Leo..." I swallow thickly. "You're scaring me..."

"There are photographs of you and Rebecca shopping inside the envelope, and someone has scratched away your head. This is definitely a death threat, and-..." Leo slumps his shoulders, and those green eyes meet mine. Realization shines in them. "Wait, are you saying that you're afraid of me?"

"Uhhh..." I feel silly now, and my mouth is cottony. The look on Leo's face makes me feel guilty. Yet no words come to me, and Leo continues looking torn.

"Nora..." Leo appears uncertain of what to do. "I locked the doors and windows so no one could enter the mansion. It was not meant to scare you-quite the opposite, really."

"I know..." I grimace. "I feel silly for... Thinking otherwise."

"Yeah, and although I realize it might sound cheesy, I would never hurt you, Nora. Never."

"I know, I just-"

Leo takes a step forward, and I back by instinct. I don't react but just do it, and even the sentence dies in my throat. s**t. Why did I do that? Leo is looking sadder now.

"Is my size frightening to you?"

Realizing lying is harmful, I sigh. "A little bit..."

His eyes grow softer, and his eyebrows furrow. Leo's face is gentle, and shock rattles me when he lowers himself to the floor. Suddenly he is standing on his bent legs and knees and takes my hand.

"What if I start walking around like this? Is this less terrifying? I feel like a toddler waltzing around like this..."

I chuckle at him. "You're definitely shorter, but to be honest, I can still tell that you're a big guy."

"Is that a problem?"

I bite back a laugh, smiling. "No, and... You really don't have to walk around like that. I'm just having trouble deciding who I can and can't trust right now." "Well, you can definitely trust me."

Smirking, I arch an eyebrow. "Really? Because I trusted you not to read my diary, and guess what you've been doing all day?"

He grimaces. It's kind of cute and adorable, actually. He is still down on the floor, glimpsing up at me. It makes me want to hug him, but I realize we aren't there yet.

Sure, I feel like a fizzy cola around him. My heart races whenever he flashes me a smile or teases me, but I want to get to know him better before jumping into his arms.

I have to make sure he won't leave or hurt me. He is an alpha and every woman in this quarter wants to bed him. And the best way to not get heartbroken is to play it safe until I know Leo is one of the good ones and that he will stay by my side.

"Okay, how about we start over?" Leo reaches out his hand for me to shake it and gives me a megawatt smile. "Hi, I'm Leo, and I can be trusted to one hundred percent. Nice to meet you."

I snort at him, unable to hold back my laughter. "You're such an idiot... Why are you still down on the floor?"

"Uh, so I don't tower over you? And I don't mind waltzing around like this, Nora," Leo shrugs. "It gives me a good view of your breasts, seeing them from underneath as well."

My mouth opens, but not a word comes out. I didn't expect Leo to e dirty in real life. I thought he would only dare to be flirtatious over the phone. But I was dead wrong.

I stare at the alpha, unable to form words. It makes Leo's entire face crack open with humor.

His eyes crinkle and laughter sips out through his kissable lips. "I'm not sure what you're thinking right now, Nora, but I hope I'm the one on your mind. Because I can't get you out of my head." When I continue staring, he rises to his full height. But to my surprise, he doesn't meet my eyes and quickly steps away. He cracks his broad shoulders and walks in the direction of the kitchen. "How about we eat dinner? I'm starving."

"Yeah... I'm hungry too."

I follow Leo with a pounding in my chest. My head is spinning right now. I'm unsure who sent those pictures. Was it Lily? Gloria? I have no idea what to believe, but one thing is for certain: this alpha with the hot guy swagger and the fantastic a*s is growing on me.
