"I know you don't believe me. I was in your apartment when she and that guy talked about throwing you out. She was mad that the only men who spoke to her all night wanted your name." He says.

I wish I could laugh; I wish I could accuse him of lying, but I've never seen Leon lie, and the look on his face is dead serious.

Carlie threw me out of my home because I threatened her chances at hookups.

What kind of crap is that?

I sigh, feeling like I have to be honest if he's being honest. "The fence has been off since that night we picked up the football players." I blurt out.

I see him turn to look at me, but I can't get a read on his face. I can't tell if he's mad at me or anything. Honestly, it's worrying me that he's not reacting in any way.

"How long have you known?" He asks me calmly, but I'm still in his lap and in his arms; that must be a good sign, right? It has to be.

"A week." I answer honestly.

Leon puts his hand on my throat. It startles me at first, but he doesn't apply any pressure. He's simply holding my throat while his thumb strokes my pulse point. "You've known you could run for a week and haven't. The keys to my SUV are in the kitchen. What's stopped you?" He asks me.

I gulp, shifting in his lap until I can stare at him. "I don't want to go. I just want to be free." I answer.

Chapter 55

Leon Aldon

I can’t believe my girl doesn’t want to leave me; she wants to have a life with me; this is incredible.

I thought it would have taken longer than a month for her to trust me, especially after making her sick and not even remembering to buy her fucking period products, but she does. I’ve screwed up several times since she’s been here, yet somehow I’ve been fortunate enough to earn her love.

I grip tightly onto the back of Maeve’s neck, pulling her face into mine and kissing her breathless the second she’s close enough to me. I need her like I need oxygen; I need to surround myself with the sweet blueberry smell that is uniquely her and never come up for fresh air again.

She shifts to straddle me, wrapping her arms tightly around my neck and deepening her kiss. I fucking love that she’s so willing now.

All of the fighting, the chase, the force, and the tape, I love it, but I love this more.

I grab tightly onto her ass and climb off the couch, smiling against her lips when she wraps her legs around my waist and lets me carry her into our bedroom.

I need her.

I toss her onto the mattress, grinning like a damn fool, when I see she's already peeling her clothes off.

I'm so obsessed with the sight of my girl. She has long, tan legs, smooth skin, a tight round ass, and these gorgeous little nipples on her small breasts.

Fuck, I'm in heaven.

As sexy as she is, she's also beautiful. Gorgeous smile, a beautiful dimple but only on the left side, perfect light brown eyes, and the most beautiful soul I've ever seen a human have.

I may be surrounded by darkness and evil, but I’ve seen the best of people, and Maeve is the best.

I strip my clothes as quickly as humanly possible, tossing them in the chair in the corner of the room. "I love you, Maeve." I sayto her while I grab onto her ankles and pull her toward the edge of the bed. She squeals in surprise at me sliding her across our bed, but looks up at me with so much heat in her gaze that it almost drops me to my fucking knees.

"I love you." She says back to me. I don't think I'm ever going to tire of her saying that to me. If she asked me to, I'd burn this fucking world down and display the ashes at her feet right now.

I brace myself on one hand, putting it on the bed next to her side. The other hand, I slip between her legs, rubbing that gorgeous pussy of hers until she's wet enough to slip a finger in.

I'm so obsessed with how tight and warm she feels, her walls suck me in, begging for more of me, for all of me, but I know I have to slowly work her up. I can't have sex hurt her all the time. I'm hoping soon she'll be able to take me without having to calm her down, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes and wait as long as I need to for that.

Maeve throws her head back while I slowly fuck her with a single finger. "Oh my God, Leon." She moans.

My cock jumps to the sound of her gorgeous moans and the way she screams my name. I have to tell myself to chill the fuck out before I cum all over the bed. “I’m here, my love. Scream for me.” I beg.
