<h4>Chapter 509: Chapter 509 Levi Loosing Control</h4>


    Maxwell, however, remained especially focused, his movements calm and precise. With enough patience and concentration, he eventually caught more than a dozen fish swimming in the stream.


    The simple activity helped clear his mind of unnecessary worries. As he moved through the water, he was also able to sort through the information they had gathered so far, organizing his thoughts about the unfolding events with a calmer and more focused mind.


    After the fishing was done, Maxwell had the warriors carry the catch back to the elders so it could be properly processed. The elderly carefully inspected each fish, knowing that even freshwater fish could carry parasites and should never be prepared carelessly.


    Leaving the rest in their capable hands, Maxwell stayed behind by the river to wash up. He took a quick bath, unwilling to return to Addison smelling of fish. Once he was done, he joined the soldiers in their patrol around the camp’s perimeter.


    Meanwhile, Levi returned to the tent to apany Addison, who had just woken after nearly two hours of sleep. Though the nap had eased some of her fatigue, she still felt slightly drowsy. More troubling, however, was the growing difort within her, the gnawing hunger that refused to subside, lingering like an invisible weight in her chest and making her increasingly restless.


    A wave of heat suddenly washed over her, making her feel as though she wereing down with a fever. The lingering drowsiness weighed heavily on her head, leaving her sluggish and ufortable.


    When Levi entered the tent, his eyes immediately caught the unnatural flush on Addison’s face. A sense of unease rose in his chest, and he quickly walked over to check on her. The moment he closed the distance, he reached out and ced his hand against her forehead.


    As soon as he felt her temperature, he hissed softly. "You’re burning up..."


    Panic flickered in his eyes. He couldn’t help but think that she had overexerted herself, her body already drained from earlier, now forced to endure stress and exhaustion on top of it all. Worried that her immune system could no longer keep up, he instinctively moved to stand, intending to fetch cold water and some medicinal herbs from the doctor.


    But before he could even rise, Addison suddenly grabbed his wrist and pulled him toward the bed.


    Caught off guard by the abrupt motion, Levi lost his bnce and fell forward. rmed that he might crush her or cause her pain, he quickly adjusted himself mid-fall, bracing his weight on both hands and carefully positioning his knees so they wouldn’t press against her.


    His palmsnded on either side of her head, effectively boxing her in, his elbows bent as he hovered over her. The distance between them became dangerously close, so close that their breaths intertwined.


    He could feel the heat of her breath against his skin, warm and unsteady, sending a faint tingling sensation along his nerves and causing his back to stiffen involuntarily.


    "Addie..." Levi’s voice came out hoarse as he gazed down at her.


    Up close, he could clearly see the faint daze in her eyes, along with a restrained, intense desire that seemed ready to spill over at any moment. The sight alone made something deep in his abdomen stir, his body reacting before his mind could fully catch up.


    Then he caught a trace of her scent in the air, warm, subtle, and strangely alluring, as if quietly beckoning him closer. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed hard, his gaze unconsciously drifting from her eyes down to her slightly parted lips.


    They looked soft, warm... and far too close.


    The temptation to close the distance surged within him, his breath hitching ever so slightly as he struggled to steady himself, caught between concern for her condition and the overwhelming awareness of just how near she was.


    Levi’s mind spiraled, torn between the instinct to care for his mate and the darker urge to simply pin her down and devour her where shey. Before he could steady himself, Addison’s arms slid around his neck, clinging to him like a serpent, refusing to let go. Her breathing grew uneven, warm and shaky against his skin as she pressed her cheek to his and rubbed against him in slow, needy motions.


    "Cool... your skin feels cool..." she murmured, her voice soft and hazy as a small, contented moan slipped from her lips.


    It only made things worse.


    Like it wasn’t enough, her body shifted restlessly, her chest and hips brushing against him in unconscious, searching movements that sent a sharp tension through his entire frame. Levi stiffened, his control fraying with every second her body rubbed against him. Of course, his body reacted; he instinctively went hard immediately.


    "Fuck..." he growled under his breath, thest thread of restraint snapping.


    He dipped his head and crashed his lips against hers, rough and hungry, biting down just enough to test her reaction, to see if she would pull away. She didn’t. If anything, she melted into him.


    That was all the permission he needed.


    His right hand slid up to cup her cheek, fingers gentle in contrast to the heat in his gaze, his thumb hooking under her chin and tilting her face to give him deeper ess. Then he pushed in, tongue plunging past her lips, tasting her fully, deliberately, as if he had been starving and she was the only thing that could satisfy the ache building inside him.


    "Addie... I’ve been holding back this whole time..." Levi’s voice came out rough and uneven between breaths, his lips barely leaving hers before crashing back again. "But you were the one who provoked me first... so don’t even think about backing down now."


    He kissed her like there was no tomorrow — deep, relentless, and hungry.


    The look in his eyes made Addison’s heart jolt. Levi was always gentle, always careful with her, but the dark hunger swirling in his gaze now was different. It was raw. Possessive. Like a side of him he usually kept tightly restrained was finally slipping free. Just the way he stared at her made it feel as though he was already peeling away everyyer of her defenses, leaving her exposed under the weight of his desire.


    That gaze alone sent a sharp, tingling electric feeling racing across her skin, making her whole body shiver as if she might burst from the intensity of it.


    Her sensitivity spiked unbearably high.


    Every brush of his fingers, every press of his lips, felt overwhelming, like finding an oasis after wandering in a scorching desert. Desperate and instinctive, Addison clung to him tighter, her fingers gripping his clothes as she tilted her head and epted every kiss he gave, even parting her lips willingly to give him more ess.


    Levi didn’t hesitate.


    He deepened the kiss instantly, his tongue pushing in with deliberate heat, tasting her slowly and thoroughly. But Addison wasn’t passive either; her small tongue met his, swirling and teasing against it in yful defiance, as if engaging him in a silent tug-of-war.


    The moment he noticed, something in Levi snapped further.


    A low, pleased growl rumbled in his chest as his grip on her tightened, his kisses growing even deeper, even more demanding, fueled and invigorated by the way she responded so eagerly to him.


    "Fuck, Addie... you’re really testing my limit..." Levi muttered hoarsely as he finally pulled back just enough to put a sliver of distance between them.


    But stopping was thest thing on his mind.


    Even with that small space, he could still feel the slow roll of her hips brushing against his hardened cock, and it nearly made his vision darken. His gaze dropped to her, heavy and impatient, before he yanked his top off in one sharp motion, tossing it aside like it was nothing.


    Addison’s eyes lingered on him for a second before her fingers crept forward, tentative at first, then bolder as she traced the hard nes of his chest, sliding down over his abdomen.


    The moment her warm fingers touched his bare skin, Levi’s muscles visibly tensed.


    It felt like fire licking across his body.


    His jaw clenched as his breath grew heavier, his body reacting instantly, his cock turning almost painfully hard, throbbing with every slow stroke of her hand. Just that simple touch from his mate was enough to make him feel like he mightbust on the spot.


    A low sound rumbled in his throat.


    Without warning, he caught both of her wandering hands and lifted them above her head, pinning her wrists together in one firm grip. His movements were controlled but unmistakably dominant as he leaned back in, lips finding hers again in a deep, lingering kiss.


    Then he slowly rolled his hips forward, deliberately returning the friction she had been giving him, teasing her back with measured intent.


    This time, he refused to be dragged along by her pace.


    He wanted control.


    His kisses grew slower, heavier, more deliberate as he savored every second, every soft sound she made, every subtle reaction beneath him.
