“Like … posting their nudes online without their permission.”
I gasp and pull back from him. He doesn’t reach out to me. Judging by his expression, he knows what he did was wrong. “How could you do that?”
“Because I thought it was fun. But, Fran, listen, I know it was wrong. Trust me. I’ve made sure the photos of any of the women have been taken down. You made me realize what it means to respect women. I’m ashamed to say it’s taken me this long to learn, but I have. I know what I did was horrible. I feel guilty about it. I don’t want to be that man again. I don’t want to be that man for you.” He cups my cheek, staring down at me with sincerity in his eyes. “I want to be better. I’m making up for the wrongs I’ve committed. I don’t plan on ever doing it again.”
“That’s good,” I say, breathless. I knew Leo had a reputation with women, I just never realized it was something bad like that. “You’ve really learned your lesson? You’re never going to do anything like that ever again?”
“I promise. I don’t want to, anyway. All I want … is you.”
I suck in a quick breath. “You mean that?”
“I do. Fuck, do I ever. Fran, you’ve made me feel things I’ve never felt before. I don’t want to lose you.”
“I don’t want to lose you either.” The minute the words are out of my mouth, I realize how true they are.
“Then how about we start with a clean slate? Just you and me, getting to know each other. Let’s make this marriage work.”
“That’s all I want.”
Leo is kissing me before I can even fully finish my sentence. With a growl, he rolls me onto my back. Feeling Leo’s body on top of mine is such an overwhelming, all-consuming, powerful thing. Now that I’ve had sex—and with Leo, in particular—I know what it feels like to be loved physically. It’s an amazing feeling, one I don’t want to lose.
I believe Leo when he says he’s a changed man. He’s nothing like the man I met at the pool that very first day when he made a sexual comment to me. No, this man has taken me on museum dates, listened to me speak, and made me feel heard. Leo is trying with me, and that’s all I can ask for.
Our kiss becomes more passionate as our hands roam each other’s bodies. Leo’s fingers brush my nipples, and it makes me gasp and arch into him. He kisses me deeper, growling low in the back of his throat, sending a spike of pleasure through my body. I grip the backs of his shoulders, pulling him closer to me.
My arousal is already at full steam ahead. It’s kind of amazing and ridiculous how much my body responds to Leo’s touch.
He brings his hand between my legs, cupping me. I gasp out his name, which makes him smile and kiss me even harder. Leo spends time rubbing my sensitive nub until I’m aching for more.
“Please,” I whisper. “Leo.”
“What do you need, baby? Tell me?” He rubs me harder. I can barely take the sensation.
“I need to …”
He nods, staring down at me with those intense blue eyes of his. “You need to come?”
“Yes,” I gasp as his finger enters me.
He leans down, his lips close to my ear. “The come.”
And I do.
I clutch Leo as my body shudders from his touch, my legs falling open without a care in the world, my heart pounding fast, and my brain feeling clear for the first time in … ever.
He chuckles as he kisses over my neck to my chest and back up to my lips. “That was good, huh?”
“Yeah, it was.”
“Ready for me?” He grips his growing erection and presses it against my entrance.
“Always.”
Leo enters me with one thrust. My body has gotten more used to this sensation. Instead of it hurting, it’s only pleasurable now. Leo still lets me get adjusted, though, which just warms my heart. Once I nod for him to continue, Leo begins to move his hips in a circle, his erection pressing into all the crevices of my inner walls. I gasp, holding onto him tightly.
After a little bit, I start to match his pace, moving my hips around. Leo holds me like he’s afraid he’ll lose me. I want to tell him I don’t plan on going anywhere.
“You feel so good around me,” he murmurs into my ear. I clutch his back, my nails digging in.
