Page 63 of Enticing

Then he slides my legs off his shoulders and straightens, and damn, if he’s not the hottest thing I’ve ever seen. He’s all broad shoulders and bare chest with flawlessly chiseled abs, with a perfect V disappearing into his dark pajama pants.

And that smile. It’s intoxicating.

“Fucking delicious, Addie.” He traces my lips with the tip of his fingers, then presses down on my tongue until I lick it clean. And the way his pupils dilate is enough to make me want more already.

He lifts me from the dresser and sets me on my feet, then turns away, and the cocky fucker grins.

“What are you doing?”

“You’ll see.”

Oh, man... the way his eyes sparkle when he says it leaves me little doubt that he’s up to something, but right now, I can’t bring myself to care. Not after that orgasm.

Leo walks back in, holding something behind his back. “Arms up.”

He doesn’t show me what it is, but I’m betting it’s not my tank.

I lift my arms and smile when I see the colors.

“Your jersey?” I laugh, thinking it’s going to be stiff and bulky like a typical jersey but knowing I’m going to sleep in it anyway because it’s his. But as he pulls it down my body, I’m shocked. “It’s soft.”

“It’s the practice jersey I’ve had for a few years. Been washed about a million times. You want to wear colors, you wearmycolors andmyname, Adelaide.”

He pulls my hair out of the back and lays it down the back of the jersey, then smiles such a sexy, smug smile and lifts me in his arms like I weigh nothing at all.

“What are you doing?” I laugh as he lays me down in bed and pulls the blanket up.

“I’m putting you to bed, wife.” He climbs in beside me and turns off the light.

“Oh…” I say, a little disappointed and he chuckles.

“Sleep, Adelaide.” He pulls me to him and drapes me across his chest. “I’ve got you.”

His words ring true, deep down in the quiet corners of my soul in a way I never would have expected them too.

“What if I don’t want to sleep, Leo?” I whisper into the darkness and climb into his lap, unsure where this confident woman came from but loving her even more. I drag my fingers down his chest and watch a muscle tighten in Leo’s jaw. “What if I want more...? What if I want everything?”

Leo’s hands catch mine. “Sweetheart... I’m not sure I can be gentle tonight, and you deserve gentle and slow.”

“Who says I want slow and gentle, husband?” I drag my teeth over my lip and love the way his blue eyes darken. “Maybe I want real. Maybe deep down, I know I need everything you want to give me, and I’ve been fighting it and you... Fighting this thing growing between us.” I reach under his pajamas and wrap my hand around his thick cock. Velvety steel, just like I thought. “And maybe I’m tired of fighting it.”

“Fuck, Addie...” His hands are on me in an instant. Pulling my face to his as I stroke his cock. “Be sure, wife. Because once you give yourself to me, I’m never giving you back.”

This powerful man never used his body to hold me frozen in place. It’s never his beautiful, restrained strength that does it. It’s his words. Always his words.

“Do you promise?” I ask, feeling vulnerable yet so unbelievably safe.

Safer than I think I’ve ever felt.

Leo lifts me from his lap, and I startle. “What’s wrong?”

“I need a condom, sweetheart. They’re in my bag.” He kisses my forehead, and I climb up to my knees and wrap my arms around his neck.

“Leo... I have an IUD. I got it after Lennox was born. We can use a condom, if you want, but we don’t have to.”

“You trust me, Adelaide?” he whispers reverently.

“More than I think I’m ready to admit.” I press my lips to his and drag him down to the bed with me. Aching to feel his weight on me. Nearly crying from how good it feels once he’s there.
