Chapter 146 - Leland Without His Mask **

Leland was happy to see Sophie's reaction. He sucked her nipples alternately and then rose from her body to take off his shirt. Right at that moment, she opened her eyes and looked at the man attentively.

She was still feeling the pleasure from his stimulation. Her vision was slightly blurred but soon, after she batted her eyes, she could see his majestic body.

The man's physique matched his wolf form perfectly. His naked upper body was big and burly, consisting of toned muscles. This was the first time Sophie saw him this way and she liked what she saw.

When they had sex after the wedding, the light was off. Leland blew all the candles so that Sophie wouldn't feel embarrassed with her nakedness. She didn't know her husband could see her well in the dark.

At that time, Sophie could only feel his body on top of her. She couldn't see him naked and could only guess how he looked.

Now, she could feast on his beautiful physique with her eyes open wide.

Sophie gulped involuntarily. Suddenly, her mind was filled with dirty thoughts. She remembered what it felt like to have him inside of her. It felt so, so good. 

And back then he only did the bare minimum. So, Sophie could only imagine how great sex with him would be like if he stopped holding back.

She hoped he wouldn't hold back tonight.

She wanted to feel what it was like to make love to him properly. Weren't lycans passionate lovers? She was filled with anticipation for their lovemaking session.

Leland smiled underneath his mask. He could feel her curiosity and desire for him. He loved it. He gulped as he looked at her naked body again. His hands moved faster to remove his pants. His manhood was throbbing with the same anticipation she had for him.

When his pants were pulled down, showing his hung manhood, Sophie's eyes widened. She had had him inside her, but she didn't see how he looked down there.

No wonder she felt so, so full when he entered her. Every thrust brought her to heaven.

She swallowed. 

"Sophia…" Leland whispered seductively. He climbed the bed and positioned himself on top of her. As before, he was careful not to crush her with his weight.

He was more than double her size and if he didn't lean on his elbows, she would be buried under him and she would feel pain and suffocate. He cared about her too much and didn't want her to experience any discomfort, especially when they were making love.

"Lee… Leland…" Sophie managed to squeak a soft reply. She was so aroused. "Y-your… mask." 

She had seen the whole of him, bare naked, before her, and she loved what she saw. However, there was one more thing.

She wanted him to show himself to her one hundred percent. Even if he was disfigured and ugly… she wanted to see him. She would show him that she accepted him for who he was. One hundred percent.

"My mask?" Leland repeated her words.

"I want to see you…" Sophie looked at the man sincerely. "Now that you've told me who you are, and you have shown me everything… I want to see your face."

Leland had been wearing that stupid mask for a long time after he took the duke's identity and slowly he had become used to it. In fact, he liked it because it could hide him further from the world.

He almost forgot that Sophie didn't really like his mask and he was thinking of getting a new one.

But apparently, Sophie wanted to see his face?

"You want me to remove my mask?" He asked her softly. 

Sophie nodded. She tugged at his leather mask with her fingers and tried to pry them off. She couldn't do it because Leland secured it properly to ensure that it never dropped in the presence of anyone. 

"Look... Leland, we are mates now, and I love you," she said with a flustered face. "Even if you are… even if you think you don't look good, I don't care. I want to see the man I married."

Leland wanted to laugh when he heard she was trying to be careful with the words she uttered. Sophie didn't want to use the word ugly or disfigured.

So, she must still be thinking that Leland's face was really disfigured.

Yet, she still said she loved him.

She didn't mind their relationship, even though Leland established the mate bond by tricking her into the marriage, by pretending to need a wife for convenience. In fact, she accepted him as her husband and even solemnly stated that she would be a good wife to him.

Of course, Leland knew that, to her, his looks didn't matter. But he wanted to tease her about it. So, he asked her, feigning worry, "Are you… sure?"

"Yes." Sophie bit her lip and stared at the man sincerely. "I want to see my husband when we…"

'When we make love.' She didn't say the words but he knew what she wanted to say.

Seeing her determination, Leland found no further need to hide the truth of himself to her and thus he tugged off his mask without difficulty. Once the mask was removed, he looked at her with a rogue smile. "Sorry."

For a moment, Sophie was stunned by Leland's appearance because he was such a beautiful man. To even think that he was disfigured, marred, or ugly in any way whatsoever was to blasphemy him.

His skin was a beautiful tan underneath the chandeliers. His handsome face looked perfect with the eyes and lips that she had seen with his mask.

His smile looked like the smile of an innocent boy on a man's face. He was so attractive and it made it difficult for Sophie to even look away at all.

Slowly and uncertainly, Sophie reached out and touched his cheek gently.. This was the face that was hidden beneath the man's leather mask and she could feel that his cheek was a bit damp from both the tears and sweat.
