Page 46 of Flawed Revenge

“Can guarantee we won't be the only ones,” Leo said, his touch on her face becoming gentle again.

“Only ones doing what?”

“Making love,” he answered simply.

“We’re not⁠—”

A finger pressed against her lips, silencing her words. “Oh, we are, Katie-Bear. We absolutely are.”

“But we can't leave Ariella.”

“She’s asleep, and we’re only going into the bathroom.”

There had been three beds upstairs, Steel and Rose were using one, Thunder and Maya the other, Dragon and Cassandra were on one of the couches downstairs, and Blade and Whitney on the other. Voodoo had Indigo still on the kitchen table, and the final bed was being used by Leo and Ariella, her family. This left the bathroom as the only place to get any privacy since they clearly wouldn't have sex in front of their nine-year-old when she could wake up at any second and catch them.

“Still we⁠—”

“No excuses, babe, I need you.”

Feeling the raw vulnerability in Leo’s words sealed the decision. She doubted he ever asked for anything, admitted that he needed anyone. There was no way she was going to deny him the comfort he needed when it was exactly what she needed as well.

Climbing from the bed, Leo’s gait was steady, and his eyes clear. His enhanced healing ability seemed to have gotten him over the worst of the concussion symptoms in less than twenty-four hours. Still, when he rounded the bed and leaned over to scoop her up, Kate couldn’t help but protest.

“You shouldn’t be carrying me.”

“Nowhere else I want you than in my arms.”

Since there wasn't really anywhere else she wanted to be anyway, Kate just wrapped her arms around his neck and allowed him to carry her through into the bathroom. They’d cleaned it up earlier, so while it was still wildly outdated and a little dilapidated like the rest of the house, it was free from dirt and grime.

Inside, Leo kicked the door closed behind them, then set her down on the counter. “Touch yourself. Make yourself come while I watch.”

Her cheeks heated at the command. Leo had been her first and her only, and while she had touched herself in the last ten years, she’d never done it with an audience.

Still, the idea seemed to light her blood on fire, and almost without thinking, her hand slipped inside the waistband of the leggings she’d been able to salvage from the clothes that had been on the plane. She was already wet, and she trailed her fingers through the evidence of her arousal before sliding them to her bud and circling it.

Leo watched, fire dancing in his eyes as he shoved his sweatpants down his legs and freed his already hardening erection, fisting it and stroking for a few moments before he growled.

“Need to see everything.” With that, he closed the short distance between them, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her hand out of her pants. He then lifted her so he could yank the leggings down her legs, before setting her down. His hands closed on her knees, and he spread her legs so she was wide open before him.

There was no room for embarrassment when Leo looked at her like he wanted to devour her, so her fingers slipped back to her bundle of nerves and began to circle it. Leo watched, his hand stroking his impressive length, keeping time with her movements.

Pleasure built, starting low in her belly, and she slipped one of her fingers inside herself, pumping slowly at first, then faster, more erratic, as that pleasure crescendoed, until it burst inside her, setting off fireworks of ecstasy.

Head tipped back, Kate stifled her cries as much as she could, because even if Leo was right and all the other couples had been making out as well, she didn't want to draw attention to what she was doing.

Before that pleasure ebbed, Leo was there, lifting her, holding her as he slipped gently inside her so as not to jar her battered body, making her cry out way too loudly. So much for trying to keep what they were doing a secret.

“Keep touching yourself,” Leo ordered as he thrust into her. “This one is going to be gentle but fast.”

The warning was unnecessary, because she didn't care how Leo took her, she only cared that he was deep inside her, that he was here, alive and whole, and back in her life. For good this time.

Clinging to his shoulders with one hand, her other went back to her swollen bud, and she worked the overly sensitive nerves, quickly pushing herself toward another orgasm.

“Come, Katie-Bear, now.”

The growled command was all she needed, and a second round of fireworks exploded through her body. Leo came, too, burying his face in her neck to muffle his growl. Together they rode out the wave of ecstasy, clinging to one another, reunited, and this time nothing, not even a crazy scientist lady, was going to tear them apart. Kate wouldn't allow it.
