It didn’t matter if the logical part of my brain said I was being stupid. I wanted it to be Leo telling me to come to the club. Just the thought of going back to his office had me clenching my legs together, nipples puckered with need, and praying no one at the diner would notice my scent.

Bad choice or not, I wanted him. Accepting the deal we’d worked out had freed the restraints I’d had around my urges. There was no reason to hold back when this might be the only time in my life I got to indulge. Once he moved on, life would be back to normal.

Eyes darting around to be sure no one needed me for a moment, I ducked below the counter to pull out my phone.

“Are you coming to see me tonight?”

Pulling my lip between my teeth as I responded, I tried to ignore the ache just the thought of him sparked between my legs.

“Do you want me to?”

“Of course. I always want you.”

I should have told him no since I’d already worked the whole day, but tomorrow was Saturday, so I didn’t have to go into the office in the morning, and I decided to embrace my bad decisions and do what I wanted.

“I need to go home and change first.”

His response was instant, sending a flush of warmth through me.

“No need, you’re beautiful as you are. We can always meet at my place if you want.”

His address popped up on the screen when I agreed, and excitement thrummed beneath my skin as I finished my shift and cleaned up. The new girl had shadowed me most of the night and seemed to be picking up the quirks of the job, so it was one less thing for me to feel guilty about, even though Sharon threw a fit when I told her I was quitting.

“You’re leaving me? What am I supposed to do without you?”

She’d acted wounded until I gave her the same excuse I’d told Frankie, and then promised to visit the diner under the threat that she’d come drag me away from the office if I didn’t.

I darted out the door with a hasty goodnight as soon as Frankie said we could go. The drive to Leo’s building passed in a blink, and I rocked from foot to foot as I waited for him to send down the elevator after I’d made it there. Once I’d decided to give in to the inevitable, I’d grown impatient, and I couldn’t wait for him to strip me and cover my body with his. There was no need for words or niceties when that was really all he could want from me.

It almost seemed unfair that he had given me my freedom from debt and was giving me orgasms too.

Almost.

The ride to the top floor took forever, my heart fluttering and leaving me lightheaded by the time the doors slid open. Leo was waiting in his usual dark suit, eyes devouring me as I stepped forward.

I didn’t know what to say, but he saved me by closing the space between us and pulling me against him. His mouth descended on mine, erasing all thoughts of anything but the feel of his hard body beneath my hands, his scent invading my lungs, and the throbbing in my core.

Chapter Nineteen

Leo

Cadence threw herself into the kiss like she was starving, and it was the first meal she’d had in days. I hadn’t planned to jump straight into bed with her, but I found my hands peeling her clothes away without conscious thought.

A little of the greasy food smell from the diner lingered on her clothes, and I wanted them off so I could huff her sweet honeysuckle and slick.

Gripping her ass once I had her down to her underwear, I lifted her and strode through the house to my bedroom. My heartbeat was an insistent throb in my cock, and I couldn’t think of anything else until I’d satisfied the need to be inside her.

We could talk while she was locked on my knot.

Placing Cadence on my bed, I stepped back and kicked off my shoes as I admired the black bra and panties she wore. They were simple, plain cotton, but the contrast against her skin was gorgeous, even in the low light coming through the windows.

I wanted to rip them off her. I’d buy her a new pair for every day just so I could. Silk, and lace, and all the best, so I could savage her like the animal I was.

Loosening my tie, a sudden idea had me grinning down at her. Climbing onto the bed, she was too lost in anticipation and didn’t realize what I was doing as I straddled her hips and took hold of her wrists. I had them bound in seconds, sliding off the side of the bed to drag her up the mattress and loop the other end of the tie around the bedpost as her brow furrowed.

Seeing her stretched across the sheets had a fresh surge of blood flooding my groin, and I moved to stand at the end of the bed again, my shaft giving a painful kick of excitement. Her eyes had gone wide as she looked up at the way she was bound to the headboard, but she didn’t protested, and the scent of slick flooded the air.

My good girl just might like naughty things.
