"Leo," she murmured when I was level with her ear. "I'm so tired."

"Good. Sleep, beautiful."

"But I want to—"

"Shh," I said. "Just go to sleep. You're tired. I'll cover you up."

She touched my cheek with the back of her hand, and I interlaced our fingers. She took in a deep breath and closed her eyes. I enjoyed watching her sleep as much as I’d liked making her come.

I knew she was fast asleep when her hand suddenly became heavy. I laid it down on her chest and slowly got up from the bed. She looked so fucking perfect like this, completely naked and spent from the three orgasms I gave her.

I could watch her the whole night, but my cock was pulsing. I knew I had to relieve that pressure.

I covered her with the blanket, wrapping her up as best as I could because, without rolling her over, I couldn't get it out from under her. I took one last look at her before leaving the room.

Tonight had turned out completely different from what I’d envisioned, but I didn’t regret it one bit. I was going to make sure she didn’t either.

Chapter Fourteen

Tory

I woke up to the sound of sirens. I blinked my eyes open, and panic flooded me.

Holy shit, it was the alarm on my phone. But why was it so far away?

I pushed myself onto my elbows and then frowned. I looked like a human burrito lying across the bed with the blanket bunched around me.

Last night’s memories filtered in.Oh my God.Maybe I’d imagined it because I’d fantasized about Leo quite a bit.

I looked under the covers. I was butt naked.

That’s why my alarm clock was so far away—I'd left my purse down the hall.

I jumped out of bed awkwardly, pulling the cover with me so I could put it around myself. Then I skidded down the stairs and grabbed my purse from the entrance, taking out my phone and silencing the alarm. It was five thirty in the morning. I hoped to God it hadn't woken Leo up. I listened intently for a few seconds, but there were no sounds coming from upstairs, so I headed back up.

My heart was thundering at a million miles an hour. I didn't even have time to process last night because I needed to shower and leave the house quickly to make it to the airport. I'd ordered a cab yesterday, and it was going to pick me up in precisely fifteen minutes.

I jumped in the shower right away, cleaning myself off. I kept replaying the evening in my mind.

Oh, Leo, Leo, Leo.

I couldn’t believe I was leaving like this without even talking to him. But no way in hell was I going to wake him up at this ungodly hour.

Besides, I didn't even knowhowto talk to him. Last night, he was so seductive and sexy, I'd completely lost my head.

I hurriedly dressed and grabbed my small carry-on, going as quietly as possible down the staircase. I didn't even put the suitcase down when I reached the first floor, just went directly out the door. After closing it behind me, I took in a deep breath.

Mission accomplished: I didn’t wake him.

My cab was already here, so I loaded my suitcase and then climbed into the car.

On the way to the airport, I started and deleted about a million messages to Leo, but I couldn't put everything I felt or feared in a message. I didn't even have everything clear in my mind, so I just wrote something short and sweet.

Tory: Hey, Leo. I hope I didn't wake you up this morning. My flight is at 7:20, so that's why I had to leave early without talking to you. Call me when you see this.

After sending it, I realized how stupid that sounded, because I was getting on a plane.

Tory: If I don't pick up, obviously it's because I'm still on the plane.
