Leo groans. “You are just the sexiest little minx.” He nips playfully at my lower lip as he continues to press inside me and withdraw with special care not to disrupt my ankle.
“I just wanted to show you how thankful I am,” I murmur, opening my eyes in round innocence. “I acted horribly ungrateful after you saved my life.”
Leo releases a low chuckle even as he presses kisses behind my ear and along my jaw.
“So you decided to give me head? We’ll have to argue more often,” he teases, and it makes my heart skip a beat.
It shouldn’t make me as happy as it does to hear he liked what I did.
But before I can say anything further, Leo reclaims my lips.
He’s so slow and gentle. I can tell he’s trying to be careful with me. And I wonder if he’s worried about hurting me further or if hearing the baby’s heartbeat has changed the way he sees me. Whatever it is, this Leo is a world away from the one who used me so roughly on our wedding night.
And despite myself—and my conviction to end his reign of terror—I can’t help but relish the way he makes me feel. He builds my desire with deep, penetrating strokes, his cock sliding between my folds until he’s buried inside me to the hilt. And each time he fills me up, his hips grind forward against my clit, lighting my soul on fire.
If this is what makeup sex is like, I think I rather like it.
My breaths come hard and fast as my pleasure builds to an intensity I can hardly contain, and I know I won’t last much longer. I’m teetering dangerously close to the edge already.
“Come with me, Tia,” Leo rasps, his voice strained with the heat of his arousal.
And it sends a jolt of anticipation through my body to know he’s ready, too. My clit twitches dangerously, and I nod. Picking my head up off the pillow, I suck his lower lip between my teeth and give it a playful nip.
Leo grunts, his thrusts intensifying as he drives our pleasure home. I cry out, my back arching as I find my release, and my body tightens around his hard length, milking him as I urge him deeper inside me.
He obeys as if on instinct, shoving inside me to the hilt as his cock begins to twitch and throb. Warm wetness floods me, filling me with a deep and sinful satisfaction. And as the ripples of euphoria wash through me, I melt like a puddle in his arms.
We breathe heavily together, sharing the same air as Leo hovers above me, his hips pinning me to the bed. Then he eases my legs back onto the bed, taking special care of my injured ankle.
I can see a world of conflict behind Leo’s eyes as he slides out of me, but when he presses a chaste kiss to my lips, I know that, whatever is troubling him, it’s not directed at me.
Curious, I’m sorely tempted to ask him what’s on his mind.
But before I can work up the courage, he pulls me into his arms, trapping my back against his chest as he spoons me. And after such a trying day, both emotionally and physically, I’m suddenly bone weary.
And as soon as my eyes slide closed, sleep whisks me away to a world of troubled dreams.

LEO
The mayor’s front reception area is a grand room adorned with polished oak furniture and portraits of the town’s illustrious leaders. I take a moment to adjust my tie, glancing at my reflection in the window. Confidence is key, and I can’t afford any missteps.
Tia’s charm and quick ability to win people over might have opened the door for me, but it’s up to me to walk through it.
“He can see you now,” his smiley young receptionist says to me and gestures to the door behind her desk.
“Thank you,” I say, rising from my chair to pass her.
As I enter his office, Mayor Romney rises from his leather chair, a welcoming smile on his face. “Leo, good to see you. Please, have a seat.”
I reciprocate the friendly expression and extend a firm handshake. “Thank you, Mayor. I appreciate you taking the time to meet with me.”
“Not at all, my boy.”
We settle into the plush chairs, and the meeting begins, Mayor Romney cutting straight to the point with little attempt at polite conversation. I suppose for a man in his position, he has little time to beat around the bush.
“So, you said you have some ideas to help with Piovosa’s growth and infrastructure?” he says curiously.
