presses a single button on his cell phone, putting Slate on speakerphone.
"Anyway, I told her that I loved her ,and last I heard, she was heading to bed," Leo says, and I can’t help but bite my lip in embarrassment. His gentle reassurance makes me want to…well straddle his lap, among other things. He rubs a hand up my back and into my hair, using it to tilt my head back to expose my neck. Quickly, he dives in, raking his teeth across my skin.
"Good. She needs to rest," Slate responds while Leo ravages my throat. I’m sure he is leaving marks, and even though my turtleneck collection is not large enough to support his efforts, I still turn my head to allow him more access.
"I’m going to call and get someone out to fix the gate in the next few hours," Leo announces before sealing his mouth over mine, plundering my mouth with a skill that forces a moan.
"Don’t bother. I’ll take care of it. I’m heading home now. Till just got here to take over. Thanks, man."
Leo pulls away only long enough to rush him off the phone. "No prob. Bye."
"Goodnight, Sarah!" Slate shouts before hanging up.
I give him a questioning look. "Uh…"
"Only further proof that Erica has a really fucking big mouth. Okay, one last call—" he starts, but I silence him.
"Thank you," I say against his lips.
He gives me a gentle nod. "I need you to be comfortable with her. She’s like a—"
"A sister," I finish for him. "I’ve got it. I’m not usually a jealous person. It’s just—"
"You thought I was cheating on you. I’ve got it," he finishes for me, punctuating it by rolling his tongue into my mouth, but he pulls away all too soon.
"We aren’t even really together. You can’t be cheating on me. I was worried you were cheating on her with me ."
"Oh, we aren’t together?" Leo asks with hint of annoyance in his voice.
I state the obvious. "We’ve known each other for, like, a week."
"So?" He reaches under the sheet draped around my waist, and with one very gentle stroke, he finds my clit. I was already turned on, but this has me desperate for more. " Ángel , you were mine from the first moment I laid eyes on you. Does this feel like ‘not together’ to you?" He begins rubbing those amazingly torturous small circles over my clit.
My head goes light as every nerve in my body begins firing—all aimed in one southern direction. "No," I whisper.
"It feels pretty together, doesn’t it? It feels like we are getting to know each other in every way possible. See, part of the reason tonight didn’t bother me is because I’m a jealous guy. And you know what, Sarah? I don’t like to think about other people getting to know you . Would you be okay with someone else getting to know me ?"
"No," I respond immediately. The very idea of anyone else being with Leo threatens to send ice through my veins, but his continued rhythm between my legs prevents it. "I don’t share well."
"Good. Then we’re together. No one else." He leans forward, sucking my nipple into his mouth.
Together. Even if it is temporary.
Leo will be gone when he finds out all the things I’ve done. The old Sarah will once again ruin things for me. But that person isn’t here tonight. She isn’t the one straddling a gorgeous man. She isn’t the one he wants to be with, so for tonight, I’m ridding her from my mind, wishing I could get rid of her existence altogether.
Of their own accord, my hips start to grind into his hand. Leo pauses his movement and leans back in his chair. Curious about his sudden departure, I still and catch his gaze.
"I want to watch. Keep going." He slides his fingers through my wetness before moving back to my clit.
I push the sheet to the floor and begin rolling over his hand. Sparks surge through my body, and I throw my head back, my long hair cascading down to my lower back. I can feel it teasing right above where Leo’s hand is supporting me.
"Why are you so bold in some moments and timid in others?" he growls, suddenly
