Chapter Nine
The following morning, Leah was wide awake as she looked across the bed at a sleeping Cain. It was rare for her to be awake and him to be asleep.
She smiled as she watched him. He looked so peaceful in sleep. Most of the time when he was awake, there was always a frown between his brows. She was tempted to reach out and touch it, to smooth it out. She didn’t. For now, she was content to just look at him.
The only problem with looking at him now was, she knew she had a big problem. Cain was … different. He wasn’t just her boss, or even her friend, or even the father of the guy who attempted to rape her. Cain was so much more.
This was dangerous. She had never felt this kind of love before.
She had loved someone, Ben, as a brother, or maybe as a friend or father figure. She had never been in love with him. She certainly hadn’t felt jealousy when he was with another woman.
Leah licked her lips, and then she did what she never thought she would be able to do. She snuck out of bed. Originally, she was going to wake him up, so they could have sex again. Sex made everything easier. They didn’t have to talk or think. She didn’t think about how she felt about him. There was no reason to tell him she loved him.
That she snuck out of the bedroom without waking him was a miracle.
She wrapped her body in a robe, and then made her way downstairs, knowing only coffee was going to help. She didn’t pass any of his soldiers or maids. Running fingers through her hair, she went straight to the kitchen, where she found Frank standing at the stove. She stopped as she looked at him.
Frank had always been a nice guy, and now as she looked at him, she saw the smile on his face. Leah was tempted to make her escape, only he looked up and winked at her.
“Good morning,” he said.
“Good morning.” She moved toward the counter.
“Do you want your coffee?” he asked.
“Yes, yes, coffee sounds great.” She sat down at the counter, watching as he grabbed her a mug of coffee. The scent of it made her mouth water. Perhaps it would help to clear her head. “Where is everyone?”
“Cain sent out a text to give everyone the day off.”
“He did?”
Frank nodded.
“Not that I mind, but why are you here, if you got the day off?”
Frank chuckled. “I saw the state of the kitchen the last time I was off, and I didn’t have time to fill the fridge or the freezer with meals, so I figured I would save myself a job in the long run.”
Leah nodded. “Good thinking.”
“I thought so.”
He put the mug in front of her, and she blew across the top, then took a sip. Just as she knew it would be, it was heavenly.
“So, what happened?” Leah asked. “Or you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to. I totally get it.”
Frank chuckled. “It went well. We caught up, and she has had a pretty intense few years. She was glad to hear that Cain helped me. She was so sorry for everything that happened, but like I said to her, it wasn’t her problem. It wasn’t her fault the way the cop reacted. None of it was.”
Leah listened as he told her everything. Cameron didn’t date. She focused on building a life and working at the café in a different country. She didn’t have time to date. Then, when it all went wrong, she came home and put all of her money into this café.
“It was a good opening day,” Leah said.
“She said if that continues, then she made the right choice.”
She hoped Frank would tell her more. He did not.
She knew she should wait, but she needed to know. “Are you and her going to date?” Leah asked.
“Yes, we’re going on a date tonight, or I am cooking her dinner, and I’ve invited her to my place,” he said.
She let out a little squeal. She couldn’t help it. “This is a good thing. Are you excited?”
“I haven’t dated in a very long time.”
“You haven’t?” Leah asked.
“I wasn’t even dating Cameron or showing any serious interest in her, and I got accused of something I didn’t do and thrown in jail. Trust me, dating doesn’t seem as big of an issue when you’re dealing with that.”
Leah pursed her lips and nodded. “You’re right, and it’s not like I know a lot about dating. I’ve never even been on a date.”
“And you’re in love with your boss.”
She shot Frank a glare.
“What? That is crazy. You have no idea what you’re talking about.” She laughed and tried to make a joke of it.
“You’ve been in love with Cain for a long time.”
“You don’t know that.”
“I do. It’s the way you look at him, it must be love. I know how strong and independent you are, and you would never allow anyone to pick out your clothes,” he said.
Leah opened her mouth and closed them. “It was part of the deal.”
“Yeah, and I’ve come to know you, Leah. If you didn’t want it to happen, you wouldn’t have allowed it, and you would rebel.”
She looked into her coffee mug. Her drink was getting cold. “What do I do?” she asked.
“What do you want to do?” he asked.
“I don’t know. Don’t you think it is a little odd? His kid tried to attack me. I met him because I put his son in the hospital.”
“And yet, he kicked his son out and moved you in.”
“Maybe he is after a replacement kid?” she asked, and she couldn’t help but wrinkle her nose.
“He wouldn’t have slept with you, if that was the case.”
Leah looked at Frank, a little taken aback. “How do you even know that?”
“A hunch. I may not have dated much, but I’ve come to know women. Trust me, you and Cain have been dancing around each other for months. It was truly inevitable.”
“I don’t know why you think that.”
Frank laughed. “I guess the question is, what are you going to do about it?”
“I have no idea. For all I know I’m just some … I don’t know, is it notch or something?”
Frank chuckled. “I don’t think you’re going to be a notch on anyone’s bedpost, and if it makes you feel any better, from the moment you entered his life, Cain has not looked at another woman.”
It did make her feel better.
She smiled at him. “I see his name is Cain now, and not Mr. Knox.”
Frank smiled at her and nodded his head.
She took her mug of coffee and finished it in a final gulp.
“Thank you for the coffee,” she said, and got to her feet. “I’ll see you soon.”
“Leah,” Frank said, as she got to the doorway. She turned toward him and waited. “Thank you.”
“What for?”
“Finding Cameron.”
“Cain helped.”
“But you would have been the one to insist on it.” He nodded at her. “And for that, I thank you.”
“I want you to be happy, Frank. That cop, he stopped something pretty special, but he’s done, and I know Cain will never let anyone else hurt you.”
Frank nodded at her, and she offered him a smile before leaving the kitchen and making her way back up to the bedroom.
Cain was in the same position she left him. Closing the door, she shrugged out of the robe and then moved toward the bed.
Leah stared down at him, and she knew he wasn’t asleep. It was the way he was breathing, and his face had lost that peaceful look. She was tempted to swat him with a pillow, but instead she grabbed hold of the blanket and began to pull it down.
As if Cain was playing along, he rolled over, and she saw his cock was already thick and hard. Well, she was happy to keep playing with him.

Cain knew Leah needed her space, and he’d been willing to give it to her. He’d not followed her downstairs, but he had taken a trip to the bathroom, washed certain body parts, brushed his teeth, and now he waited in anticipation for what she would like to do to him.
He was hers to command. All she had to do was take.
He didn’t fully open his eyes, but he saw her reach out and stroke her hand from his chest, and she walked down, going across his stomach, then over to one of his thighs. She moved onto the side of the bed, and slowly crawled between his thighs.
He waited, feeling the anticipation building within him about what she might do. This was at her pace. He just waited to see what was going to happen next. He knew what he wanted to happen.
Leah didn’t disappoint as she leaned forward. One of her hands wrapped around the base of his cock, and she held it up in a tight grip that wasn’t painful, but firm. She wrapped her lips around his length, and he gritted his teeth as she took him into her mouth. Her lips surrounded the entire head of his cock and then slowly began to sink down.
“No teeth,” he said, giving out a wince.
“I knew you weren’t asleep.”
“With you as my prize for waking up, be glad I even went to sleep.”
“Now, that sounds like a promise,” she said.
He smiled and then hissed as she wrapped her lips around his cock. She was an astute student, as she didn’t use her teeth and began to sink her mouth onto his length. He went deeper this time before she pulled back up.
With her hand at the base, she began to stroke up, to meet her lips, then traveling back down again. When he hit the back of her throat, Leah paused and then pulled away.
She didn’t gag on him. He didn’t want her to be uncomfortable sucking on his dick. Cain gave her the time and space to allow her to set the pace she wanted.
Leah moved up and down his length, taking more of him. He was so close to coming, but he didn’t want to go off in her throat. This time, he did take over and pulled on her arms. Leah didn’t fight him, as she followed his lead, moving up his body.
He moved her so that she straddled his waist, and then lifted her so that he held his cock. Leah knew what he wanted, and slowly she lowered herself down onto his thick cock. They both moaned together.
Cain didn’t know where to look—at her pussy wrapped around his cock, or her face, or her tits that quivered. She was stunning. Her blonde hair fell around her.
He reached out and grabbed hold of her hips, feeling them within his hands. They were more than a generous handful. Slowly, he stroked up her body and cupped her tits, feeling the weight of them within his palms.
Another moan fell from her lips, and he gritted his teeth, trying to keep control. He didn’t know what it was about Leah that made him feel like a horny teenager, but she drove him wild with need.
Pinching the tips of her nipples, he suddenly sat up, and then held one of her tits up to his mouth as he started to suckle on the tight peak. He heard her soft moan, and then he moved to her second breast, lathering as much attention on that one as he did the previous one. Biting down on each plump nipple, he felt her pussy tighten around his cock.
There was no way he was going to ever have his fill of her tits, but he wanted to feel her riding his cock. Lying back down, he held onto her hips and started to show her what he wanted.
She reached out, resting her hands on his shoulders as she began to fuck him.
At first, he watched her tits and the way they bounced as she danced on his cock. Then, his gaze traveled down to where his cock disappeared within her body. She looked so stunning. He was so fucking big.
“That’s it, baby, ride my cock. Take it all. You want my cum, don’t you?”
She sunk her teeth into her bottom lip and nodded her head.
“Good,” he said. “You’re going to get it all.”
His name spilled from her lips and this time he took over, holding on tight to her hips and thrusting his pelvis up to meet her as he pulled her back down over his cock. Her sweet cries filled the air, and he was tempted to bring her to orgasm, but he was so close.
Cain came, and he did so with a growl he couldn’t quite contain. He let go, spilling wave upon wave of creamy cum deep into her cunt. He wanted it to fill her womb, to make her pregnant. Cain wanted Leah completely bound to him in every single way. First, he’d get her pregnant, then he was going to marry her.
There was no turning back for her. She was his, always.
Once the last of his release finished, he let go of her hip and slid his fingers between her thighs. He was still deep inside her, and he began to stroke her clit. The moment he touched her, she let out a moan and he didn’t stop. Each flick of her clit made her cunt twitch and pulse around his length.
He watched her, not able to look away, nor did he want to. She looked so fucking beautiful as she rode his cock, searching for her release. Cain was tempted to tease her, to prolong her release, but this time he wasn’t going to be so cruel.
Leah could have the whole world, or whatever her heart desired. He would gladly give it to her.
She’d entered his world, and he had fallen head over heels in love with her.
