Iwantedwhat was coming.

I wanted it withhim, even if I wouldn’t admit it aloud.

I was gasping by the time the door slid open and he released me. The smile that met my eyes when I blinked up at him was full of alpha ego and pride, but Leo had every right to his cockiness. His kisses set me on fire, and just the thought of what else he was going to do to me chased away any other concerns.

He swept me into his arms again and strode from the elevator, his home a blur of dark grey, chrome, and glass. I was still struggling to catch my breath when he passed into another room that smelled of him and tossed me into the middle of a large bed.

The blankets were soft against my bare legs, but the mattress was firm enough that I didn’t sink in. Leo hadn’t turned the light on, but enough came through the wall of windows behind the bed for me to have no trouble seeing him as he stood at the foot.

He didn’t waste any time, shedding his suspenders and working on the buttons of his shirt. Freeing the cuffs first, he tossed the links toward a dresser behind him and moved down the buttons on his chest. He only got halfway before tugging the shirt over his head.

My mouth went dry at the sight of the white undershirt stretched tight across the breadth of his chest. Leo wasn’t overly muscled, but he was long and lean, not an ounce of fat on him. Both arms had tattoos starting at the wrists that disappeared beneath the sleeves of the T-shirt and added to the bad-boy image I had of him. If he had approached me in the diner with all that on display, I might have been drooling like Sharon, but I’d also have run the other way.

My breathing stuttered when he gripped the bottom of the undershirt and pulled it up. Each delicious inch of his abs was revealed in what seemed like slow motion, my heart skipping along with each dip and valley dusted with dark hair.

Dropping the shirt, his hands settled on his zipper, and I couldn’t force my eyes away. I could almost feel each tick as the zipper moved down until Leo’s chuckle rolled through the room and broke the spell. Eyes darting up to his, heat flooded my cheeks as I flushed over how hard I’d been staring, wanting to see his cock again to assure myself I hadn’t inflated the image in my head.

“It wouldn’t be fair for me to bare everything while you lie there mostly covered.”

The light from outside glinted off his teeth as he grinned down at me, his hands resting on the flaps of his open slacks. I could have argued that the lingerie didn’t really cover anything, or that I’d already seen what was printing against that tight, white fabric, but I was distracted by the V of muscle leading down beneath his waistband until he growled an order.

“Strip.”

Licking my dry lips, I swallowed the tremor of fear and pushed myself up, tucking my feet under me so I could kneel on the bed. The tux jacket gave me a sense of security, a shield to hide behind, but I knew I couldn’t keep it on forever.

I let it slide down my arms to pool around my hips. Though it was perfectly warm in the room, a shiver rolled through my body as I lifted my eyes to Leo’s.

Chapter Thirteen

Leo

Even though I’d already seen her in the lingerie, it still sent a pulse of blood straight to my cock when she opened my jacket and let it fall to the bed. With the light behind her, her face was in shadow, but it made the white lace glow on her skin.

Biting back a groan, I slid my hand down to cup my erection, watching a shiver roll through her as she looked up at me. Women gazing at me with lust was nothing new, but the innocent desire on her face made me want to drop to my knees and worship this omega until she begged me to stop.

She was too good for me.

Cadence had just been an innocent bystander, brought into my world by bad luck and someone else’s poor choices, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t going to take advantage of it. I wasn’t good like her. I was too greedy, and I wanted to have her.

“Seems like you’re still wearing more than me.”

Her eyes flashed before she narrowed them. Reaching behind her back, it only took a second for her to unhook the bra I’d bought for her. Holding it to her chest, she let the straps fall before slowly lowering the cups and revealing herself.

Even in the dimness I could see the rosy pink of her tight nipples. My teeth ached with the urge to nibble on them and see how far I could take it before she flinched. A little pain mixed with the pleasure could be fun, but I didn’t want to scare her away.

Adjusting her position, Cadence grabbed the top of a stocking, but I reached out and seized her ankle to stop her.

“Let me.”

It was an impulse I couldn’t resist.

Crawling onto the mattress, I kept firm pressure on her leg as I slid my hand up her calf and across the back of her knee. Slipping my fingers over the top of the fabric, I groaned at the wetness on her inner thigh, the heady scent making my mouth water.

I barely let my fingertips skim along her skin on the way back down, raising goosebumps in my wake. Tossing the stocking behind me, I repeated the treatment on the other leg, her softness tempting me to squeeze and pet every inch of her.

Leaning down, I pressed a chaste kiss to her knee, looking up to meet her stare with my lips on her flesh. I heard her shaky inhale and a smile crawled across my face. She was already so responsive. So ready to be ravished. I didn’t know how I was going to hold myself together and take it easy on her when all I wanted was to throw her down and rut her like a beast until my knot was locked deep in her cunt.

Then I wanted to pull it out and do it again.
