Leah turned into his arms.“Are you done now?”

“I’m curious what Drakewanted,” he said.

She rolled her eyes. “Hewanted to know what a beautiful woman was doing alone at such a drab party. Healso offered to take me for a dance. Do these pickup lines work?”

“You were not impressed?”

“What was there to beimpressed about?” She wrinkled her nose. “I don’t know why you come to thesethings. I’m pretty sure everyone is stabbing each other in the back and itsounds like it is a huge competition to find the biggest dick.”

Cain smiled and thenleaned in close. “I’ll give you a hint, it’s mine.”

He felt her body shudderand now he really did have a reason to smile. He had gotten the sense over thepast few weeks that she did like him. Where his hard cock couldn’t hide hisattraction to her. Only men who knew the female body would be able to detecther feelings for him. The flush to the chest. The way her cheeks went a prettyshade of pink. There were also times she nibbled at her bottom lip. Allindications of what she felt for him. The hardness of her nipples, certainlywhen they were in a heated room.

Staring into her greeneyes, he ran a hand up her back and then took a leap. He knew she was youngenough to be his daughter but he didn’t give a shit. Leah was nothing like anyof the other women he’d come to know. The women in his circle were all vipers.They were intent on hunting, on manipulating. Leah was none of those things.

She was a woman who couldfight for herself. Strong and independent. Other than this Ben, who was afighter, she had no one. He’d done some research on Ben. The man had been a goodguy, a true fighter, but he refused to kill. He’d beat his enemies to within aninch of their lives, but he wouldn’t make the final strike. What had killed himhad simply been being in the wrong place at the wrong time. That was all.

Taking possession of herlips, he kissed her, soft at first. That initial touch set his blood aflame,and he felt a hunger for her. His cock hardened.

Leah ran her hands up hischest, wrapping them around his neck. At first, she didn’t respond, only tothen give back more than he could have hoped for.

Breaking from the kiss, helooked into her eyes for several seconds and waited.

“Do you need to stay?”Leah asked.

“No, I’m quite ready to gohome.”

“Me too.”

Chapter Four

The Following Morning

Leah was pissed. Shecrunched through her cereal with her gaze on the door. Last night had beenamazing and one of the worst of her life, and that didn’t even have anything todo with Danny arriving at the scene. He meant nothing to what happened lastnight. First, she hated that bitch coming to Cain and taking him to dance. Leahknew she shouldn’t care. There was no reason for her to give a single shitabout what was happening. The only problem was, she did.

She hated seeing anotherwoman with her paws all over Cain. He wasn’t even hers to be jealous over, andyet she had been. It was so insane to even be thinking like that. So, sheignored that feeling, and then that moron, Drake, thought he could try andconvince her to dance and go on dates with him. She wasn’t interested.

Thankfully, Cain hadn’tgiven her the signal to stay back. Going to him had been a huge relief, andthen, when he’d told that bitch she was his date, it had sent a thrill throughher body. She’d still been trying to control her emotions from what Cain hadsaid, when he’d taken her into his arms. This had felt so different compared towhen he was showing her how to dance. The way he touched her felt even moreintense. Then he’d kissed her, and she hadn’t wanted to make the first move,but she also didn’t want to leave everything to him or to chance.

They left the partywithout a single donation made. In the limousine, he’d given them privacy, andhe’d pulled her into his arms. She had moved to straddle his body, where shefelt the hard ridge of his cock pressing against her core.

The dress had a longenough slit in the side that it hadn’t constricted her ability to move overhim. It had felt so good.

Cain had touched hereverywhere. His hands roamed all over her body, touching her tits, down to herass, and then he’d stroked her pussy. She had been so close to an orgasm, butthey arrived at his home way too soon. Cain had no choice but to stop.

For some reason, Cain hadalso given the staff the weekend off, including his guards. Arriving home,there had been no one, and then the magical night had taken a turn for the worse.

Cain tearing the dressfrom her body hadn’t been a problem. She loved that. She also didn’t have aproblem with him pressing her against the stairs. She’d been so heady withpleasure. What she hadn’t anticipated was what happened during that firstintense penetration.

It hurt.

She screamed.

There might have been afew tears.

Cain, realizing she wasvery much a virgin, or at least had been prior to his cock invasion, hadrecoiled. He’d pulled out of her, growled something she didn’t quite get, andleft.

So, he left her on thestairs, naked, with blood dripping between her thighs. She had no choice but toclean everything up. After taking a shower, she cleaned the mess on the steps,thankful there was no carpet. She tossed the dress and the rest of her clothesinto the laundry, and then she went to bed.
