“Yeah.” My thumb smooths across the back of his hand and he sighs happily.

“I missed you today.”

“Missed you too.”

He bites his bottom lip and then shifts a little closer to me.

“Can’t wait for tonight.”

And the way his eyes gleam tells me he has wicked things planned. I don’t know what it is, but it excites me. Everything is so new for me and yet it’s something I look forward to. There’s justsomething about him that draws me in. And it keeps me there. The moment I laid eyes on him, I knew he was different.

I wish I met him years ago.

Things would be so different.

“I can tell you a few embarrassing stories though, if you want to know,” I say and he grins at me. “But only if you promise it won’t turn you off of me.”

“I promise. Nothing could make me turned off by you. Unless you like publicly denounced me or pretended you didn’t know me. I think that would maybe break my heart.”

I clasp his hand a little tighter. “I wouldn’t do that.”

“I hope you never do. Now tell me all the embarrassing things. I’m ready.”

And so I do. I conjure up as many stories I can think of, listening to his laugh grow with each story, my heart warming when his eyes twinkle with each new revelation. By the time dinner is over, Leo is leaning into me, nuzzling his face into my neck. We draw the stares of a few patrons, but I don’t even care. For some reason, strangers seeing me like this doesn’t bother me.

I’m proud that someone as fun and exciting as him is into someone like me, stodgy and slightly boring. He makes me come alive. He makes me smile.

I’m fucking happy around him. I hope he can see that, can sense it.

“I’ll see you later?” he asks as we walk out onto the street.

I nod, cupping his cheek gently. “Want me to wait at the office or would you rather meet me at my place?”

He bites his bottom lip and blinks up at me. “I’ll meet you at yours. I have some fun things planned.”

The way he saunters off makes me truly believe he does have something fun prepared for the two of us. I can’t wait to find out what it is.

Leo

I managed to clean Heath’s office without calling him in a horny rage and enticing him into having phone sex with me. Instead, I was hyper focused and cleaned those offices like my life depended on it. And despite being exhausted as I jog up to his front door, I’m still ready to go. I’m ready when it comes to him.

I ring the doorbell three times in my haste, breathing far too heavily for that small jaunt up the stairs.

He pulls the door open, looking freshly showered, wearing only pajama pants and no shirt.

“Oh god, you look edible,” I wheeze as I move toward him, draping myself across his chest and nuzzling up against him.

“You smell so nice. I smell like cleaner.”

I should probably feel a little ashamed of that, but I’m too horny to even have a complex.

He just smiles at me, not bothered by it at all. “You can shower if you want,” he says, his strong hands moving around my waist and pulling me in closer. “But I like how you smell.”

God, what this man does to me. It’s too much. My heart is kicking up in pace at his compliment. “You’re such a liar.”

“You heard the stories of me as a child cleaning for fun. The smell of bleach is getting me all hot and bothered.”
