The Alpha's Regret: Return Of The Betrayed Luna

Chapter 444: Chapter 444 Unlocking A Different Side Of Him 2

She had never known Levi could be like this, so unhurried and so effortlessly captivating. With every motion, he drew her deeper, until thoughts of the entity stirring within her faded completely.

She was spellbound by him alone, by the cadence of his voice, by the way it seemed to resonate inside her, as though he were speaking directly to her soul, calling to her most unguarded self.

It was a sensation she had never experienced with her other mates, something unfamiliar and almost unreal. For a fleeting moment, she wondered if she was being hypnotized... or if this was simply desire finally shedding all pretense. Perhaps her body was only answering him honestly, even as her mind struggled to catch up, caught somewhere between denial and surrender.

But right now, every one of Levi’s touches left behind a trail of heat, a lingering tingle that made it impossible for her to think. He didn’t give her even a second to steady herself before his attention drifted lower, his lips brushing along her sensitive neck. He nibbled at the soft spot where his mark should have been, gentle yet deliberate, while his thumb continued its slow, maddening strokes across her lips.

”I want all of you...” Levi murmured.

His voice was low, rough around the edges. ”Maybe you thought I wasn’t selfish, possessive, or domineering like the others...”

He paused, teeth grazing her skin a little harder this time, just enough to draw another moan from her lips. Still, he didn’t bite down fully. It was a tease, controlled and intentional.

”And I thought so too,” he continued, his breath hot against her neck. ”Maybe I convinced myself, and everyone else, that because I’m a Beta, I shouldn’t have the same hunger as an Alpha.”

But his restraint fractured when it came to her.

”But when it’s you...” Levi let out a low growl, frustration and desire tangled together. ”God, Addison, you’re ruining me.”

His hand slid from her lips to her throat, large and warm, fingers curling there with unmistakable possessiveness. It was not tightening, just enough to remind her that he was there, that he wanted her, that he was holding himself back only by sheer will.

Addison felt the pressure at her throat, yet instead of fear, a thrill coursed through her. Anticipation curled low in her stomach, making her breath slow and uneven. Levi’s eyes glinted with a dark possessiveness she had never seen before, making him look dangerous, intoxicating, and utterly seductive.

The pull she felt toward him was overwhelming, different from the familiar tug of the mate bond. It felt rawer, more personal, as if she were drawn to him simply because she wanted him.

”Levi...” she whimpered softly, her voice breathless.

His knee nudged her legs farther apart, and her body reacted instantly, heat pooling deep within her as her gaze locked onto his. His eyes seemed to tell a thousand stories, which were filled with desire, restraint, and longing, all laid bare for her to see. They pulled her in, made her feel everything he felt without a single word spoken, until it seemed she might drown in the depths of them.

Levi caught the scent of her arousal in the air, and his eyes flashed gold. ”Addie...” he growled, pulling her closer as he pressed himself against her, the hard length of his cock rubbing over her lower abdomen. ”Feel what you’re doing to me. I’m so fucking hard for you, Addie.”

The low vibration of his voice reverberated through her chest, sending a shiver racing down her spine. His warm breath brushed against her skin, teasing and intimate, and even though Levi hadn’t truly touched her yet, every nerve in her body felt painfully alive. Anticipation sharpened her senses until each breath that grazed her skin felt like an indecent caress.

And God, she was unraveling from just this.

Addison couldn’t stop the soft whimper that slipped from her lips as the tingling heat spread through her body, desire coiling tighter and tighter with every second he held her there.

Then Levi slowly rolled his hips, deliberately teasing her, as if he could sense exactly what he was doing to her body and mind, and was enjoying every second of it. His gaze never left her face as Addison bit down on her lower lip, struggling to steady her wildly pounding heart and the uneven rhythm of her breathing.

His knee hovered dangerously close to her wet pussy, and the instinct to move against him grew stronger with every heartbeat. She wanted to feel him, needed to, and his unhurried teasing only made it worse. Her thoughts blurred, her mind short-circuiting until all she could think about was how badly she wanted him, how desperately she wanted that closeness.

The fact that they were outside, that the timing was all wrong, barely registered anymore. Even the look in Levi’s eyes, as if he already held her completely in his grasp, didn’t anger her.

Instead, it sent another rush of heat through her veins. This side of him, raw and undeniably masculine, was unfamiliar... and it stirred something deep inside her, thrilling her far more than she ever expected.

”Tell me what you want,” Levi murmured, his voice low and coaxing. ”Do you want me to touch you? Hmm?”

His gaze never left Addison’s face, tracking every flicker of emotion, every shallow breath. The control he felt sent a fierce rush through him, his heartbeat thundering as his confidence surged. His fingers tightened ever so slightly at her neck, the heat of her skin grounding him, sharpening his focus until nothing existed but her.

He watched her eyes slowly cloud with desire, her breathing turning uneven as her red lips caught between her teeth. The sight made her look impossibly alluring and achingly inviting. Only Levi knew how hard it was for him not to claim that mouth, to silence every thought with a kiss and make her forget everything except him.

The need coiling low in his body made him restless, yet he forced himself to linger in the moment. This... this fragile space where it was only the two of them, was something he wanted to savor.

And they were outside, after all.

What had begun as nothing more than a taste, a tease, had quickly turned dangerous.

The more he lingered, the harder it became to pull away.

He didn’t just want her attention anymore.

He wanted more.

”Tell me what you want me to do.”

Levi’s voice dropped; it became deeper, firmer, carrying an unmistakable command that sent a shiver through Addison. She nodded, already feeling as though his presence alone was guiding her, overwhelming her thoughts until she could barely think straight.

Her hand rose to his chest, fingers brushing over the solid heat beneath his shirt. Slowly, deliberately, she slid her fingers to the buttons and began to undo them one by one, each movement unhurried and intentional. Levi arched a brow at her boldness but didn’t stop her. Instead, the hand at her throat tightened just enough to draw a soft, breathless whimper from her lips.

”Tell me,” he urged, his voice rough.

Addison lifted her gaze, eyes blazing with want and a hint of challenge. Her gaze traced the line of his throat, the sharp bob of his Adam’s apple, before locking onto his burning eyes.

”I want you,” she said, voice trembling but sure. ”I want you to fuck me so hard until all I can remember is your name.”

Levi let out a low chuckle when he saw how openly Addison was showing her want for him. Hearing those filthy words come from that pretty mouth of hers sent a fierce jolt through him, desire surging hard enough that his body reacted as his cock twitched painfully inside his pants.

He hissed under his breath, jaw tightening. ”Addie...”

It felt like he was torturing himself. Every instinct screamed for him to touch her, to pull her closer and forget everything else, but reason held him back. This wasn’t the right place. This wasn’t the right time. And yet, neither of them seemed capable of stopping.

That contradiction was what made him hesitate. Because Levi knew himself too well, once he gave in, there would be no pulling back. No restraint. And if that happened, what about the people counting on them? The time-sensitive matters waiting just beyond this moment?

Now, he almost regretted starting the teasing at all. What was meant to be a small indulgence had turned the tables completely, leaving him the one trapped, burning with need, fighting a losing battle against his own desire.

But no matter how much he tried to reason with himself, desire won in the end. The hand that had been holding her neck slowly slid downward, pausing only briefly as he cupped her breast in a fleeting, possessive fondle before continuing lower. His gaze never left hers as his hand reached her waistband and slipped inside, fingers finding their way to her wet pussy.
