“We need to go and wait somewhere else and clean ourselves up. I've got someone coming to clean this before anyone else notices. Can you walk?”

As if to answer him, I got to my feet. I tucked my hands under my arms gently in an attempt to hide the blood on them and the wounds I had, no matter how small and followed along just behind him.

“Have you managed to stop whatever he was up to?” I asked as Leo led me back into the hallways of the boat. “I don't know where his phone went.”

Leo nodded and glanced down at me. “It's okay, we stopped it all and everyone will be safe.”

I exhaled, relieved that we'd both succeeded. Although I knew it meant the end of our working relationship and probably everything else between us as well, I was glad that we had stopped Ludis growing stronger.

Despite us being done as partners in this mission, Leo took me back to the suite. Instead of going into the bedroom we had used so far, Leo had me sit down on the sofa. He fetched a medical kit, shutting the bedroom door behind himself.

I still got a glimpse inside and noticed that the room had been messed up and was also covered in blood. Another fight, or something similar, had occurred here as well.

Leo also had my rucksack with everything that mattered to me in it.

“We're going to need to rest in one of the other rooms for the rest of the night. I thought you'd want to keep this with you.”

I nodded, surprised at the assumption that I would be staying here longer. Despite how taken aback I was, I didn't voice it, but let him carry on.

He bandaged my hands and checked the cut down my side through the dress.

“Sorry,” I said. “He ruined it already and you only just bought it.”

Leo let out a chuckle, a sound I was falling in love with and I couldn't help but smile in response. He looked up at me, his gaze intense. My heart raced as he leaned in and pressed his lips against mine.

Unable to think of anything else, I lost myself in the feel of his mouth on mine. I had feared I would never get to enjoy this again, but he still wanted me. I would enjoy whatever followed.

Chapter 29

As I pulled Anais into my arms, I relaxed for the first time in days. Our mission was complete and I could do as I pleased. And right now I wanted to do Anais.

Again and again.

She didn't resist and let me pick her up. I carried her into the nearest of the spare bedrooms and placed her on the bed. I was aware of how tired she was and how much she had been hurt by Ludis and didn't want to make it worse.

This wasn't about me devouring her and teaching her to be an enthralled anymore, this was purely me wanting to show her how much I desired her and how much pleasure I could give her.

Once I had her comfortable on the bed, I very carefully slipped her dress up and over her head. She helped as she could, but it was clear that her body was tired. With the same level of care and attention I took off everything she wore before placing kisses on every single inch of her exposed skin.

I took my time, kissing her face, neck and arms. Where she was wounded I was careful not to make it worse, but otherwise I carried on. She sighed, relaxing more and more and letting me arouse her in an almost teasing way.

Her desire was clear by the time I touched her with my fingers. She was wet and her scent was so strong that it began to drive me wild. I fought to keep my composure as I traced the path I'd already traveled with my lips.

A couple of times she reached for me to touch or pull me closer. Each time I took her hand, brought them to my mouth and kissed her fingers before putting them back by her sides or above her head. Eventually she got the idea and let me lead her.

Bit by bit I aroused her further, tasting her, exploring her, making her mine in every way I could think of. Being able to lie back slowly gave her some energy back and by the time I could hold back no longer, she was reaching for me again with more urgency and strength than before.

I pulled off everything I was wearing, finally letting her help me. Her hands ran over my skin, her touch almost painful for how much I needed it and wanted it.

Moaning into her skin, I came back over her. Her body against me and her gaze locked with mine. Slowly I slid into her.

She let out a slight gasp but shifted her hips to let me get deeper with ease. Smirking at how easily I had seduced her, I began to move back and forth.

As I picked up the pace she began to thrust with me, rocking and using her strength to try to drive our passion faster. I couldn't hold back anymore and I pushed deeper and harder.

Still she matched me, each motion driving us both higher and higher. As she groaned and bucked, her body tightening around me I joined her in her orgasm.
