The events of that night were all scrambled in my head. Sometimes it felt like I had been asking him to slow down, and other times it was the opposite. All I could remember was what he told me after I woke up in the hospital the next morning.
Then the cops came to question us and there wasn’t much I could say because the doctors had confirmed I was driving under the influence of alcohol.
“Are you with me?” he queried and touched my shoulders.
“Yes, yes … I ...” I stammered then cleared my throat and met his gaze again. “Teach me to defend myself,” I said without thinking.
Tommy seemed shocked because he arched a brow before asking. “Why do you need to defend yourself?”
“I just want to know,” I answered. “I’m tired of being the weak one,” I continued. “I want to learn to kick ass or at least defend myself if I was ever attacked like last night.”
“Oh, I see what this is,” he said then turned away from me. “After last night, you’re scared that something like that might happen again.”
“Yes,” I answered with an exasperated sigh. “Yes, that’s what I’m afraid of,” I continued. Tommy didn’t need to know that I was terrified of many things, and one of them was Trevor finding me here in Dallas.
When I first met Trevor, he had seemed like a gentleman and the kind of man I could fall in love with, but over time I realized that he was not the kind of man I wanted to be with. Trevor’s influence on me was controlling. Even Danielle hated it when I spent time with him.
I shook my head and brought my thoughts back to reality. “Will you teach me?’
“How about you just hire a bodyguard?” he questioned. “My firm has the best in the field, and they’ll offer the best service,”
“I don’t want a bodyguard, Tommy,” I answered then clenched my hands into fists and put them forward like I was ready to throw a punch.
“What if I volunteer to be your bodyguard and trainer?” he asked.
His question made me drop my hands, and Tommy seized the opportunity of the moment, jacked me up, and flipped me over to the ground.
I didn’t land so hard because he was gentle, but I felt pain reverberate through me. It echoed in my head and made my shoulders hurt too.
“What did you do that for?” I complained as I managed to get on my feet. The pain stayed even as I massaged my shoulders, and Tommy faced me slowly.
“My first rule in self-defense is never to let your guard down,” he said as he faced me, and I raised my fists again then took a pose.
When he lurched at me the second time, I dodged him.
“Nice,” he complimented, then came at me again. This time, I threw a fist out, and he grabbed that hand, twisted it around then hooked my hand around my neck and stood behind me.
Tommy didn’t apply much pressure so I didn’t feel pain, but I could feel the warmth of his body seep into mine as he stood behind me. “Second rule,” he said after taking in a large breath. “Don’t get hit.”
He released me and I spun around to face him. We were both panting, and his eyes stayed on mine for a long second before I threw a punch with my right hand.
Tommy caught that hand, and I tried with the left. He pulled me to his chest after seizing both my hands and pinned me to his body. At that moment, it was no longer about self-defense. I could feel the heat from his body and feel the rise of his erection press into my abdomen.
I swallowed hard and counted to three, but before ending my count, Tommy’s lips crashed onto mine and seized every coherent thought.
Tommy
Shemademeforgetall the reasons why I ought to stay away. Leah’s touch, and her cool fingers on my skin were my undoing. This was supposed to be a lesson, but the spontaneous kiss had completely stolen my control, and now I was shivering and craving more of her.
She was plastered against me, and her hands curled around my neck while I tried to steady my racing heart. I tore my lips from hers and let out a deep breath. “Leah…”
Her reply was another kiss. This time, the heat rushed through me and kicked out every shred of reasoning. I jacked her into my arms and placed my hands on her bottom. While her lips parted and clung to mine, I managed to find my way into the house with her in my arms.
The door slammed close with one kick, and I carried her to the couch, sat, then wrapped my arms around her again. My kisses trailed down to the side of her neck, she tilted her head to give me access and I inhaled her scent, let it fill my insides, then shuddered with the sensations that spiraled through me.
She rocked into me, and my body responded fiercely. My hands slid underneath her shirt, and her cool skin made me hotter inside. I took the shirt off, then her bra next and cradled her breasts in my hands.
Leah’s response was music to my ears. Her low, sexy moan filled the air and melted me. Her skin grew warmer, and I flickered a finger over her nipple before dropping my lips to one erect bud.
