12. Cadence

The first pulse of his release sprayed the back of my throat, hot and salty. He continued to make small thrusts as his cum flooded my mouth and I tried to swallow it all down. I choked a little but managed not to let any escape.

I never thought servicing a guy would be so arousing, but I could feel the dampness between my legs. The fact that it was Leo that bought me helped me relax and give into enjoying the night.

My jaw ached and my lips were numb, but I was still reluctant to let him slip from my mouth when he pulled back. My nipples were tight and chaffing against the lace of the bra, and I wanted nothing more than for him to dip his hand between my legs. Just the thought of him touching me there had me on the verge.

Instead, he pulled me to my feet and mashed his lips to mine before letting me go and straightening himself. Unsure what to do, I stood still as he swung his jacket around my shoulders and lifted my purse.

“Is this everything?”

I gave a hesitant nod. Reaching out to take my hand, he pulled me against his chest and kissed me again.

“We need to get to my place so I can taste you now.”

His husky voice sent shivers down my spine, and my clit throbbed as I imagined his head between my legs. I may have never done anything with a man, but I was a grown woman. I’d touched myself enough to be able to guess what it would feel like.

Swallowing, I nodded again and let him pull me from the room. Leo led me through deserted hallways until we reached an exit. Walking out onto a metal stairwell, I hissed as the chilly wind swept across my legs.

Leo turned back to me, green eyes raking down my body before lifting me into his arms. Cradled to his chest, he carried me down the stairs to a waiting black car. Distracted by the feel of his muscled body holding me, I didn’t know what kind of car it was, and I didn’t care.

I held back a whine as he put me on the buttery leather seat and pulled away, the heat from his body being replaced with another gust of wind. The car was warm, but not like being in his arms. Wrapping mine around my chest, I shivered inside his jacket, inhaling the scent of his cologne as he walked around to get in the driver’s seat.

I was still wet, and my clit throbbed for attention, but the haze of lust lifted as he steered through the city. By the time he pulled into a parking garage, doubt was beginning to creep back in.

I didn’t even notice Leo slipping from the car and startled when the door beside me opened. He held his hand out, waiting for me to place mine in it as his green eyes bore into me.

When I hesitated, he moved his hand to the top of the door, crouching in the opening.

“Changed your mind?”

His voice was neutral, no accusation in his tone like I would’ve expected. His gaze never wavered, and there was no judgment on his face.

I sucked in a shaky breath, forcing the nerves away. It wasn’t that my virginity held any special meaning to me, I wasn’t waiting for marriage, I’d simply never had the time to get to know someone, and jumping in the sack with a stranger for my first time never held any appeal. I didn’t know Leo well, I knew more of him than actually knew him, but he didn’t seem like a bad guy. I had the feeling that if I wanted to back out, he’d let me, but that would leave my brother in trouble.

Pushing away the self-doubt and nerves, I shook my head. Adjusting my position, I held my hand out to him as he stood again. The warmth of his palm wrapped around my cold fingers and soaked into my flesh as he helped me from the car.

I kept my focus on Leo as he led me to an elevator and inserted a key before pushing the top button. He flashed me a smirk as the doors slid shut and yanked me against him again.

His arms were solid bars of heat wrapping around me, his chest a muscular wall I wanted to climb. The hint of an erection pressing into my belly had awareness pooling in my core again, and I was shocked by how easily he seemed to manipulate my body. No other man’s attention made me react the way his did.

When my lips popped open on a gasp, his crashed against them, his tongue thrusting into my mouth. I couldn’t think with his lips on me, but I decided that was a good thing. I needed to let go and relax. I wanted what was coming. I wanted it with him, even if I couldn’t admit it aloud.

I was gasping by the time the doors slid back and he released me. The smile that met my eyes when I blinked them open was full of male ego and pride, but Leo had every right to his cockiness. His kisses set me on fire, and just the thought of what else he was going to do to me made me want to melt.

He swept me into his arms and strode from the elevator, his suite a blur of dark grey, chrome, and white. I was still struggling to catch my breath when he tossed me into the middle of a large bed.

The blankets were soft against my bare skin, but the mattress was firm enough that I didn’t sink in. He hadn’t turned the light on, but enough came through the wall of windows behind the bed for me to have no trouble seeing him as he stood at the foot.

Leo didn’t waste any time, shedding his suspenders and working on the buttons of his shirt. Freeing the cuffs first, he worked his way down his chest, only going halfway before tugging the shirt over his head.

My mouth went dry at the sight of the white undershirt stretched tight across the muscles of his chest. Leo wasn’t overly muscled, but was long and lean, not an ounce of fat on him. Both arms had tattoos starting at the wrists that disappeared under the sleeves of the t-shirt and added to his bad-boy image.

My breathing stuttered when he gripped the bottom of the undershirt and pulled it up. Each delicious inch of his abs seemed to be revealed in slow motion, my heart skipping along with each dip and valley. Dropping the shirt, his hands settled on his belt, and I couldn’t force my eyes away. I could almost feel the leather tongue slipping from the buckle until Leo’s chuckle rolled through the room.

Eyes darting up to his, heat flooded my cheeks as I flushed.

“It wouldn’t be fair for me to bare everything while you lie there mostly covered.”

The light from outside glinted off his teeth as he grinned down at me, his hands resting on the ends of his open belt. I could have argued that the lingerie didn’t really cover anything, but I was distracted by his bare flesh again until he growled an order at me.

“Strip.”

Licking my dry lips, I swallowed and pushed myself up, moving my feet under me. The tux jacket gave me a sense of security, a shield to hide behind, but I knew I couldn’t keep it on forever. I let it slide down my arms to pool around my hips.

Though it was perfectly warm, a shiver rolled through my body as I lifted my eyes to Leo’s.
