Her lips softened against his, then they parted, and her tongue met his halfway. The kiss lingered, a gentle fusing of lips.
Then he pulled back to look at her.
“Okay,” she said, a teasing lilt in her voice, struggling to find some way of grounding herself. “That was weird.”
He shook his head. “No. That’s the problem. It wasn’t weird at all.”
He kissed her again.
This one lasted longer and grew more heated when she placed her hands on his shoulders, her fingertips grazing the back of his neck. He lifted his hands to her hips, let his fingers slide beneath her top until he found skin. He stroked it, and she found herself wishing he would slide those hands higher, to her breasts. No, scratch that. She wanted them to travel lower, to cup her ass and pull her against him, let her rub against his cock.
Leo moved just one hand upwards, lightly pinching her nipple beneath her shirt, before he slid it back along her sides. She gasped, but he didn’t offer her any reprieve. He didn’t move away, didn’t stop.
The sound of someone whistling nearby reminded them they were in public, and they broke away at the same time.
“You’re right,” she said, her voice huskier. “That wasn’t weird.”
It was overwhelming. Intense. Incredible.
But not a bit weird.
“I think I should get you home.” He reclaimed her hand and neither of them spoke again until they were standing outside the pub, both lost in their thoughts.
Well, she would have been if her brain was functioning. Sadly, the only thing she could focus on was the way her body tingled all over.
“Want to come in?” she asked.
He shook his head. “No, I don’t think I shou—”
“Leo,” she interrupted his refusal, prepared to fight. His kiss had set her on fire. Going upstairs alone wasn’t an option she wanted to consider. “Please. Just for a little while.”
“Vonnie, if I go upstairs with you, we both know this night’s not ending with a kiss, and you need time to think about what that means.”
“I don’t need to thi—”
He gripped her upper arms, guiding her backwards until she was pressed against the wall of the pub. She knew Leo was strong. How could he not be? The man did hard manual labor every day of his life. She wasn’t sure, but she thought this move was a power play, a way for him to show her exactly how strong he was.
If it was meant to scare her off, he was a damn fool. She liked it.
She really fucking liked it.
Leo gave her a quick, rough kiss that didn’t last nearly long enough, and when he pulled away, she could see he was pissed at himself for instigating it. “Dammit, Yvonne. I’m not an easy lover. If you take me to your bedroom, I’m going to pull your hair, tie you to the bed and spank your ass, then fuck you in every position I can twist you in until you’ve come half a dozen times and you’re screaming my name. And even then, I won’t stop.”
Yvonne blinked several times as she let each and every one of those dirty descriptions play out in her mind. “Okay. I’ve thought about it. You should definitely come upstairs.”
Leo laughed, pressing his forehead to hers. “Jesus, Vonnie. You’re killing me.”
“Seriously, Leo. What sane woman would refuse any of that?”
“Plenty of them. And…you should.”
“Nope. I should not. I definitely should not.”
“I haven’t had sex since Denise died.”
“Oh,” she said, truly shocked. “I didn’t reali— Why not?”
He gave her an exasperated look. “Because I’ve been busy raising a couple kids with my ex-girlfriend’s late husband. Shit’s been tricky.”
