He drove in deeper, his thrusts coming just a touch faster. “That’s it, sweetness. I want to watch you come while I’m buried inside you.”
Leo was going to get his wish, because a moment later, it happened.
Starting somewhere deep in my belly, sparks of pleasure shot through me. With one hand squeezing his thigh, my other gripped the muscle on his arm firmly, as the movement of my hips had become lazy and inconsistent.
When I finished and managed to bring my attention back to Leo’s face, I committed the look to memory. I never wanted to forget it.
I thought that would be it.
But I was wrong.
Leo picked up his pace, drove in harder, and powered into me until he found his own release. I watched, mesmerized, and knew that I’d never forget the way he looked as long as I lived.
And when the first thing he sought was my mouth, so he could kiss me, I realized it wasn’t just the way he looked that I’d never forget. It was the way he’d made me feel, too.
Maybe, on some level, this had been a physical thing for us. We were both obviously attracted to one another, so it was no surprise that this was something we’d both want.
But the way he’d kissed me at the end told me there was so much more to this than just sex. This was about intimacy and connection.
And for someone who hadn’t had that ever, I thought I was extraordinarily lucky that I’d gotten it with Leo.
FOURTEEN
Leo
Trusting my instincts hadn’t ever led me astray.
In fact, relying on a gut feeling had saved my life or someone else’s in more than one instance.
But what I felt right now had nothing to do with life or death. At least, not in the literal sense. There was no question that my single life had been blasted to smithereens.
The time I’d been spending with Hanna had slowly started changing that for me, and after what we’d just had, I felt no desire to return to a solitary life.
Being around her just made everything feel better.
And it was strange.
Because Hanna had been such a timid woman in the beginning, and the transformation I’d been certain I was seeing had become evident. I didn’t quite know what to attribute it to just yet, but I knew I liked how she’d been opening up to me.
But this was still new territory. I’d gotten back from the bathroom, Hanna and I had both cleaned up, and we were curled up together in her bed right now. We’d been here for a few minutes, and neither one of us had said a word.
I was completely content to simply keep my arms wrapped around her and have her body pressed close to mine, if that’s what she wanted. But since I’d been concerned from the start about any nerves or anxiety she might have been experiencing around me, I wanted to be certain she understood that this was the one place she didn’t need to feel that way.
With my fingers stroking tenderly over her skin, I asked, “Are you okay?”
“I’m feeling slightly better than okay,” she replied softly.
At her admission, nothing was going to stop the smile from forming on my face. “That’s good to hear.”
“What about you?” she asked.
“What about me?”
“Are you okay?” she pressed.
That caught me off guard. “Is there something that would make you think I wasn’t okay?” I countered.
Lifting her head from my chest to look at me, she shook her head. “No. But since you asked me if I was alright, I thought that perhaps you weren’t.”
