“Are you sure we should continue this?” I hate asking it because I want this now that I’ve had a taste of it.
He presses me into the wall again. Leif flexes his hips, pushing in deep. “You’re the first woman I’ve taken in a very long time. I’m not letting you go.”
I’m just about to tell him about Franci when he turns me and starts rubbing my unscented soap over my body. I use a body spray that gives off the scent he seems to love. Oh, and it’s also in my shampoo. Most of the time I go unscented so I don’t give myself away. He turns me and starts washing my hair.
“We have to hurry, but you wet and slick in front of me makes me what to take you again.”
I chuckle and turn to rinse my hair.
A few moments later we are standing outside the shower again as he dresses. He has his jeans on partially done up, and I’m in a black compression shirt when a loud banging sounds on my office door.
“Your men do that?” Leif storms toward the door.
I know it’s not my guys. They would never do that. I round the corner as soon as he opens the door. I’m stopped in my tracks by the confrontation I didn’t expect.
“What the fuck are you doing here?” Ryan says as he looks at a bare chested, wet-haired Leif and then over to me. Leif turns, and that’s when he sees me with no pants on.
“Fuck, baby, go get your pants on, now.” Leif starts to move toward me. “What if it had been one of your guys?”
I look up at him and shake my head. “Are you jealous?”
“Yes. I don’t share. Get your fucking pants on. Now,” he orders me in his Dom voice, and I nod as I walk away from him.
“I’ve seen her,” Ryan states, and I swing around to look at him. My eyebrows shoot to my hairline and my head shakes.
Leif turns back around to stare Ryan down. I rush to the bathroom and slip on a pair of cargo pants before I come back out to see them still facing off.
“I was his patient,” I say as I rub a hand down Leif’s back. “Here.” I hand him his shirt he left by my desk. I don’t want them to fight, but a part of me likes that Leif is jealous. I’ve never had that. Not even before I left home. Boys were only interested in me because of who my family was. Where they could go with my brothers.
“A patient?” Leif finally breaks eye contact and turns to look at me. His eyes move down my body, skimming over my scars like he can see through my clothes.
I control the shiver of desire, but I do answer his unasked question. “Some of them.”
“Most of them,” Ryan corrects as he moves around Leif’s body to the desk. “When she came in, we thought she was dead.”
“I wished I was.” I can’t stop the words and realize they came out only after Leif wraps his arms around me.
He leans his head down and kisses one of the scars on my neck. They tried to cut my throat that night too before they left me for dead. But the man responsible for that cut was rushing and got the side of my neck, missing my carotid by only inches. Thumper is on my list next. I’ll kill him the way he tried to kill me. He’ll know it’s me when he finally takes his last breath.
“I have business I need to discuss with Ridley,” Ryan says as he sits down and crosses a leg over his ankle.
I turn in Leif’s arms. “I’ll see you there.” I lean up to kiss him, but he only gives me a brief peck before he pulls away and looks over my shoulder.
“Does he always just barge right in?”
“I owe him my life, so he can do whatever he wants. I wouldn’t be standing here without him. I’ll try to explain what I can soon, but I can’t tell you everything, just like Ryan doesn’t know everything. It’s for your safety.”
“She’s been telling me that for years.” Ryan confirms he doesn’t know everything.
“I’ll see you there.”
I realize I didn’t tell him about Franci. “When you get there, don’t be too shocked.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Oh, he doesn’t know about Franci?” Ryan chuckles, digging in that he knows and Leif, who I’ve shared my body with, doesn’t.
I take Leif’s face between my palms, loving the contact. When his eyes focus on me, I finally give him a piece of me. “Franclynn is my adopted daughter. She’s been spending the day with Gray and Erika. I will explain. Please,” I beg him, and a part of me hates it, but I want him to know. He wants to see where this goes, and I want to give him some of me before I have to completely run for my life.
