This time he grabs both of my arms hard and holds them down. "I said fucking stop. We're not doing this shit. We shouldn't have even done this." He pushes off where I am and runs a hand over his face.
"What? Why the hell not Leo. You don't make any sense. Did you get married, and I didn't know?"
He sighs and tries to leave.
Nope, not this time.
I jump out of the seat and grab hold of him, "No! You don't get to walk out on me after you just promised you'd be here for me."
He shoves his hands in his hair and leans his head back, "Woman, you're driving me out of my fucking mind." He drops his gaze back to me, "I am going to be here for you, just not like that. You don't want to fuck around with someone like me. I'm not supposed to be with someone like you." He shakes his head.
"What do you know about who I want to fuck around with? I'm an adult Leo. I know what I want. I want you."
He closes his eyes as if my words had hurt him, "You can't want me. Just the way I can't want you. I promised him, Nisa. We all did. I'm not going to break that promise."
Promise? What the hell is he talking about? Who did he promise? "What do you mean? You promised who what?"
"Hugh, we all promised Hugh that we wouldn't bring you into this life, that we wouldn't fuck around with you. Hugh was very protective of you." Leo smirks at the memory of my brother, and I have to let loose a chuckle myself.
"Are you serious." This is the most ridiculous shit I've ever heard in my life. "You won't allow whatever the fuck is happening between us to happen because of a stupid promise you made my dead brother?"
"Yeah, and I keep my fucking word, so whatever you think is happening, isn't." He backs up toward the door again. "Look, I'll get a room together for you, get some sleep, forget this shit ever happened, and then tomorrow we'll try this shit again. You're going to tell me what the hell went down and why you're running away. Don't make shit harder than it has to be, Nisa." He squints his eyes at me.
I cross my arms over my chest, "Do you know me at all, Leo?"
He laughs, walking out the room, leaving me horny as hell and with a new goal.
How do I get Leo to make me his?
CHAPTER 10
THE HARD...TRUTH
Leo
I need a fucking drink.
"Leo, you got a second?" Spike tries to stop me as I'm leaving the screen room.
"No," I grumble out. I continue right by him until I get to the bar area and dig around for a bottle of Jack.
I twist the cap off and guzzle down a huge gulp.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Spike comes up next to me. A slight smile on his face and his eyebrow hitched up to his hairline.
None of them would admit it, but all my brothers love it when I lose my shit, even for a little. I pride myself on keeping cool, so I'm sure Spike seeing me like this gives him a good cause to laugh.
I push through the burn as the alcohol settles in my gut before I turn back to Spike.
"What do you want?"
"Well, now I want to know what the hell has you running out here acting like you have a death wish against your liver?" He chuckles and leans against the bar waiting on me to answer him.
I want to tell him to fuck off. That it's not his business, but that's not our way. As my VP Spike knows pretty much everything about me. I'm pretty sure he knows what fucking size boxer briefs I wear.
"I found Nisa," I tell him.
"Yeah, good shit." Relief floods his face, and he releases a deep breath.
