Chapter Seventeen
With my head on Leo’s chest, I’d be content to not move forever.
My fingers danced across the intricate tattoos. He had them up both sides as well as across his chest. The club emblem adorned his entire back, showing his dedication to this life he lived. There were several that sparked my curiosity. Ones I wanted to ask about, but I decided it could wait for another day, being far too comfortable with the silence to disturb it.
Unfortunately, we weren’t so lucky, and a knock shook the door.
I cursed. “Fuck, I left Macy with Harmony.” I wrestled out of his arms and dashed around the room, pulling on my clothing as he just laughed, casually throwing his legs over the side of the bed and pulling on his jeans over his naked body. Thankfully, he made sure I had my shirt over my head before he pulled open the door.
Skylar, another club girl that I’d become fond of, stood grinning on the other side. “Harmony said I might find you here.”
I frowned. “Really?”
“Yup,” she answered happily.
Leo turned to me. “She saw me come in before she went outside. Probably figured you’d find me before you made it to see Chelsea.”
“She’s sneaky.”
He laughed. “You don’t know the half of it.”
“We’re on dinner tonight, thought you might wanna start a little earlier since there’s extra mouths to feed,” Skylar said.
I nodded, grabbing my shoes off the floor as I headed to the door. Skylar disappeared back down the hall. Just as I went to step out the door, Leo wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me back inside. His beard brushed against the sensitive skin of my neck, tickling me.
“I’m gonna go spend some time with my baby. I’ll see you at dinner,” he spoke softly.
“Mm-hmm.”
His free hand turned my face toward his, and he claimed my mouth. My rush to get to the kitchen to do my duties and help Skylar, seemed to disappear as I melted against him. Whatever feelings he’d had when I’d stepped inside this room, appeared to have vanished, and the confident man I knew was back in place.
I hated seeing him look so broken, thankful that he was back now.
A sharp slap on my ass had my body jolt, and I pushed him away with a glare. “Ow!”
He smirked. “Go… do your shit. I’ll see you for dinner.”
I poked my tongue at him, his laughter following me as I dashed down the hallway to the stairs.
Skylar was already pulling things from the pantry and fridge by the time I rushed in, apologizing profusely.
“It’s okay.” She giggled. “I know how those guys can get.”
My stomach twisted as I thought of her words. She’s right. I wasn’t special. I was just another club girl like her. I tried to fight back the uneasy feeling inside and switch my focus.
“How was school today?” I asked Sky as I started attacking the potatoes with the peeler.
She shrugged. “It was okay. I need to talk to Op about having the night off, though. I have a test tomorrow, and I’m completely unprepared.”
“What are you studying again?” I asked.
“Chemistry.”
Pausing, I looked over to where she met me with a wide smile. “Ew.”
Sky laughed. “Yeah, most people see me as a dumb blonde.” She flicked her long wavy blonde hair behind her shoulder and giggled loudly. “I play the part pretty well, huh.”
“So why a club girl?” I asked, turning back to my potatoes.
