He got hurt because of you in the pasta little voice nags in my head.If he’s with you, and whoever’s after you shows up, he’ll get hurt again.

My chest aches and I press a hand against the center.

“Twenty minutes to closing,” Leo says looking at the clock on the wall. “Then you’ll come with me to the self-defense class.”

“Did a lot of people sign up?”

“Eleven.”

“Women?” I ask, trying to sound casual and failing.

“All of them.”

I toy with a pen on the counter, rolling it back and forth. “Pretty?”

His head turns. “I don’t know, and I don’t give a shit if they are. You’re the only woman I see.”

“That’s sweet but…”

He rises, locks the door and flips the sign to closed.

“Leo! You can’t just close.”

He pulls the shades and dims the lights, then walks around the counter. I face him but he spins me back around and bends me slightly at the waist. I’m pressed between his hard body and the counter.

His teeth close around the lower part of one of my ear lobes.

And his hands…his big hands are everywhere. On my breasts, pinching my nipples…unzipping my jeans and he’s in my panties and…ah….

Two fingers slide into me, and he uses his other hand to toy with my clit. “Already wet for me, I see.”

“I am,” I admit, gripping the counter to hold myself steady.

He’s relentless exploring my body, taking control of my clit.

I moan loudly.

“Swallow those moans. No one is allowed to hear your sounds of pleasure.”

I press my lips together.

“There we go. That’s my good girl. This little clit loves the way I touch it, and my fingers love how they feel when they’re inside of you. Oh, that’s right. Clench around them as you come.”

He turns my head and swallows my words as I cry out his name.

When I’m coming down from the powerful orgasm, he kisses the side of my neck.

“Let me take care of you,” I say.

“There’s no time right now but you will tonight.” He zips my jeans up and buttons them.

“Are you going to make me take care of you?” I’m trying to be sexy, but my voice comes out shaky.

He frowns. “I would never force you.”

I put my hands against his chest. I know he would never use this strength against my will. “I know that. I was trying to be sexy, but you left me breathless so it came out sounding wrong.”

“Ah. Do youwantme to make you?”
