Page 97 of Loving the CEO

After I parked in front of the building, we took the remaining picnic supplies upstairs. Inside the apartment, Tory headed straight to the kitchen.

"Let me find a place for everything in the fridge."

I moved right behind her. "Fuck no, babe. Not now."

She straightened up, closing the fridge, and pushed her ass straight back against my cock.

"Oh," she whispered, laughing seductively. "How long have you been like this?"

"Since we were at the park," I confessed.

"You have excellent self-restraint."

"Fuck no. I just didn't want to risk mauling you right there. The idea of it made you so uncomfortable."

She turned around slowly and rose on her toes. "You’re amazing, you know that? I can't believe I never saw this in college."

"It wouldn't have worked."

"Oh."

I realized this needed some explaining.

"I was not in a good place back then. Even though we'd known for a while about Dad's other family, it wasn't easy."

"Really? But you’re always so blasé about it. So easygoing."

"It was an adjustment. And I know for a fact that back then, I wasn't the man I am today. Not even close to the man you needed. The man you deserved."

"Ha! Well, I, for one, say that's debatable."

Even though it was dark in the kitchen, I could see her smile.

"But I actually agree with you," she whispered. "I'm glad we didn't... you know... hook up back then. I don't think it would have been good for our friendship. Neither of us was mature enough to part ways and still stay friends."

Fucking hell, was that what she wanted? Was that where she saw this going? That we were just going to fuck for a while, then go back to being friends? That was just not possible. I couldn't be the only one who saw us together next year, too, and the one after that.

Then again, why was I so surprised? I'd always been adamant that I didn't want any of that, didn’t want a future. Why would she assume it would be different with her?

"But," she continued, "now you're mine. And you're a bit too sexy to be standing here with all your clothes on, don't you think?"

I laughed. "I agree. Now I have free rein to—how did you put it before? Attack you."

She grinned. "That's right."

Chapter Twenty-Three

Leo

She fumbled with my belt before slipping her hands under my T-shirt. Feeling her fingers on my bare skin immediately sent all my senses into overdrive. This woman was pure fire, and my body always responded. She moved one hand up while she undid my belt with the other, then yanked the zipper down and reached inside, squeezing my cock.

"Tory... babe..."

"I didn't mean to go straight for your dick, but I couldn't help myself. You're so big already."

"Don't worry. I'll make sure you're more than ready to take me," I whispered in her ear.

“I wasn’t worrying at all."
