Chapter 11 | Katia #2
I groaned his name, kissing him with all the desire I’d felt since he set my body on fire in the café when we first had coffee. My legs wrapped around his waist, and his thick length jutted against my thigh.
“Please...” I cried, my core aching to have him fill it. God, I suddenly felt so empty. Craving him, I threaded my fingers in his thick hair. “Please, Leo...”
“Let me get a condom,” he murmured against my lips, and I shook my head.
“I have an IUD.”
His eyes darted between mine as we both struggled to breathe.
“Jesus, Leo,” I said, my tone pleading. “Stop thinking and fuck me.”
His fingers clenched my skimpy underwear, yanking them down my legs as I struggled to help him. Once I was naked, he lifted me again, my legs instinctively returning to wrap around his waist.
Strong fingers clenched my ass cheeks as he pressed his forehead to mine. I felt the head of his cock pulsing against my wet core as he searched for the exact spot to claim me.
My hands dug into his shoulders, giving one last silent act of consent, and his gaze was more intense than I’d ever seen it. “Hold on.”
I nodded and he jerked his hips, pushing inside me as I whimpered his name. He drew back, pausing a moment before sliding back inside; filling me so deeply that my eyes drifted closed with pleasure.
“Look at me,” he commanded, his low tone vibrating through my body. “I need to look in those gorgeous eyes while I fuck you.”
My lids slid open and I gripped his hair, holding on for dear life as he glided in and out of my deepest place.
“I’ve dreamed of this for so long...” he breathed, his nose brushing mine as he gazed into my eyes. “Fuck, Katia...you feel so good...”
I undulated against him, increasing the pleasure for us both as he groaned.
“Jesus, I’m going to come way too fast if you keep doing that,” he said as his hands tightened on my ass. “Be still and let me fuck you, baby.”
I relaxed against the wall and his gaze lowered between our bodies. His expression was reverent as he began to fuck me in long, smooth strokes, the top of his cock sliding against my clit each time he surged inside me.
“Oh...Leo...yes, right there...” I breathed, my clit pulsing with pleasure each time he caressed the sensitive spot. “Oh, god...”
My head fell back against the wall as I opened myself to him, letting him have everything as I gave him my trust. He might not understand, but offering myself to any man this way was extremely difficult, and it filled something deep in my soul that I was able to open to him.
Perhaps I hadn’t given up on love after all.
Pushing away the serious thoughts, I focused on the pleasurable slide of Leo’s hard cock against my wet core. My muscles there quivered, surrounding him each time he pressed inside me. My fingernails dug into his shoulders, and he groaned before devouring my mouth in a heated kiss.
I kissed him back, longing for him to understand how rare this was for me; how thankful I was that we could both bring each other pleasure in a world filled with so much pain and hate.
“I’m going to come...” I moaned, pressing my cheek against his as I palmed the back of his head. “Fuck, Leo, you’re hitting it just right...ohmygod...”
The words rushed through my lips as he increased the pace, sending me into overdrive as my body trembled against his.
“You’re so fucking sexy like this,” he growled, his deep voice shooting a fresh round of sparks through my body. “Fuck, I want you wrapped around my cock forever...”
The dirty words caused my body to explode, and I held onto his sweaty skin as I lost all control. My body jerked and quaked as he held me in his strong arms, his hips still working as he fucked me with abandon.
Suddenly, he cried my name, and I felt the thick pulses of his release deep in my core. He emptied inside me, coating every crevice of my deepest place as I held on for dear life. Burying my face in his neck, I inhaled his musky scent as he finished inside me.
We stood there for a moment, locked in an unbreakable embrace as our bodies clung to each other. His cheek pressed against my temple, and I felt his lips caress my hair with a tender kiss.
I slowly lifted my head, gliding my cheek over his and nuzzling his nose. We both panted with sated desire as we stared into each other’s eyes.
“Holy. Shit.” I said, enunciating both words as he laughed, the sound vibrating in his chest as it pressed against my flushed skin.
“You okay?” he asked softly.
“Um, you just fucked me like I’m like last woman on Earth, and it felt amazing,” I said, grinning. “Yeah, I’m definitely okay.”
He breathed a laugh and glanced between our bodies. “Fuck, I’m slipping.”
Tightening his grip, he carried me to the couch. Sliding from my body, he gently placed me on the soft cushions and reached for the tissues on the side table. I extended my hand, but he frowned and slid his hand over my inner thigh.
“Can I do it?”
“Sure,” I said softly.
He sat beside me, gently spreading my legs and gazing at my wet core. His expression was reverent as he glided his hands up my inner thighs.
“I like seeing you covered in my come,” he said, tenderly touching the tissue to my sensitive skin and wiping away his release. “Knowing I claimed you here...” His tone was laced with that ever-present intensity as he continued to clean away the evidence of our loving. “Knowing you were mine...”
My lips curved as my heartbeat accelerated. “That’s very serious, Mr. FBI Special Agent,” I teased.
“Yeah,” he said softly, his hands still working at my core. “I’ve never been good at casual.”
“Me neither,” was my soft reply.
His gaze lifted to mine, and I refused to look away.
“I told you,” I continued, needing him to understand. “I barely trust anyone.”
He lifted my hand and pressed a kiss to it, shattering my still-recovering heart. “I’m honored to have your trust.”
“You should be.” My grin deepened. “I mean, I let you fuck me against the wall like we were teenagers. Once I turned forty, I thought my up-against-the-wall-sex days were over, for sure.”
His eyes sparkled with mirth as he chuckled. “Me too. Guess we proved that we’ve still got it.”
“You definitely do.” My eyes traveled over his body. “You’re sexy as hell and certainly know how to use your...weapon.”
He tossed his head back as he laughed, and those little eye crinkles appeared, causing a fresh rush of desire to heat my skin.
“With you, I think my weapon has a mind of its own.” Rising, he pointed to the hallway. “I’ll be right back.”
“I’ll be here, recovering and trying to get my muscles to work again.”
His smile warmed every cell in my frame before he exited the room. Stretching on the couch, I sighed and pulled the blanket over my rapidly-cooling skin.
Leo returned, striding into the room as if he owned it, and I took a moment to admire his naked body. It was obvious he worked out consistently, and my mouth watered at his toned abs under the tiny black hairs that lined his happy trail.
He sat beside me, his expression lacking the stress it always seemed to carry. Cupping my face, he slowly stroked my cheek as he gazed at me.
“I really should’ve taken you to bed. Sorry. I didn’t want it to feel so rushed—”
“Don’t ever apologize for giving me great sex,” I said, nuzzling his hand. “That was awesome, and I’d like to do it again. Multiple times. The bed is optional.”
Chuckling, he nodded. “I’d like to do it again too. As many times as you want.”
My grin deepened. “You don’t even have to buy me dinner.”
“Of course, I’ll buy you dinner,” he said, his eyebrows drawing together.
“I was joking,” I said, playfully rolling my eyes. “But sure, dinner would be nice, as long as it comes with another round of mind-blowing sex afterward.”
“I can do that.” His thumb continued caressing my cheek as he contemplated. “We’ve had a long day, so I’m not sure if tonight is the best night for a first date.”
“Agreed,” I said with a nod. “Maybe you can just cuddle with me here on the couch and watch some TV before we have a go at round two.”
His resulting smile was so cute, it caused my heart to skip a beat. “Of course, I’ll cuddle with you, but we’re definitely going on a date. Can you do Wednesday night? I can pick you up at seven and we can go to my favorite sushi place. Do you like sushi?”
I nodded and Leo inhaled a quick breath before sneezing.
“Sorry,” he said, grabbing a tissue and blowing his nose. “I’m stuffy for some reason.”
Sonya strutted into the room, jumping atop my still-recovering body and situating herself on my stomach. “We both like sushi in this house, don’t we, Sonya?”
“Ah, you have a cat,” Leo muttered. He inhaled another quick breath before letting out a huge sneeze.
“Oh, shit.” Realization dawned as I gently pushed Sonya off my stomach. “You’re allergic to cats.”
“Very,” he said, arching an eyebrow.
“Bummer.” I glanced at Sonya as she plopped down on the rug that sat under the coffee table and observed us. “She’s my companion and queen of the house. I just live here under her command. Unfortunately, we’re a package deal.”
“Worth it,” he said, leaning forward to place a sweet kiss on my lips. “But I’ll definitely take some Benadryl next time I come over.”
“Good idea. I think I have some in the bathroom cabinet if you want to look.”
After he’d successfully ingested the allergy medication, we sprawled out on the couch, naked under the large, soft blanket. He spooned me as we caught up on episodes of The Pitt, and eventually, the hour grew late.
When we finished the most recent episode, the TV went silent. Leo gently turned me on my back, settling between my legs and sprawling over me. His hand glided down my body, finding the spot between my legs that ached for him.
Touching his fingers to my pussy, he worked them tenderly against my sensitive skin. His eyes locked with mine as he slid his fingers deep inside me, gathering my slick before sliding to my clit.
Mesmerized by his intense gaze and his fingers at my core, I cried his name when he brought me to the peak.
As my body trembled with sated pleasure, he palmed my cheeks and loomed above me.
Inching inside, he fucked me in long, measured strokes, as if he were imprinting himself deep within; claiming what was his.
Afterward, we lay sated and relaxed on the couch, slowly caressing each other’s skin.
Eventually, he sighed and glanced at the clock on the wall. “I should go.”
I bit my lip, wanting so badly to ask him to stay, but I had the feeling he’d say no. Today had been intense, and I realized we both needed time to digest it.
“Thank you for today. And not just for the sex, although that was amazing.” My smile deepened. “But thank you for being there for me and for helping me investigate. I’m honored that you want to help me, and I don’t take it for granted.”
“I know you don’t,” he whispered, placing a soft kiss on my lips. “And I love protecting you and helping you. I’ve always wanted to be the man who does that for you, Katia.”
Tears stung my eyes at his heartfelt words. “I’ve never needed a man to protect me—”
He opened his mouth to argue, and I covered his lips with my fingers.
“I’ve never needed one, but maybe it’s time I stop trying to do everything alone,” I continued softly. Inhaling a deep breath, I allowed myself to be vulnerable. “I really like you, Leo. I know you might not understand how big of a deal that is for me, but it’s fucking huge.”
“I think I’m starting to realize,” he said, trailing his thumb over my cheek. “I’ll do my best not to fuck it up.”
Laughing, I ran my fingers through his hair, reveling in his resulting look of pleasure at my nails against his scalp. “You did a good job today. Keep it up.”
His eyes darted between mine, lingering a few seconds more before he rose and slowly dressed. Afterward, he leaned down and kissed me one last time.
“Sleep well and lock the door behind me.”
“Yes, sir,” I replied, my tone teasing.
He walked to the entrance of the living room and turned to face me. Those azure eyes stared at me for a moment, and he looked incredibly handsome under the doorframe. Then, he slowly pivoted and exited the room.
The front door clicked behind him, and I relaxed into the couch, inhaling a deep breath as I replayed the day in my head.
Who knew all that raw sexual energy was hidden beneath Leo’s gruff exterior and buttoned-up clothing?
Now that I’d tasted what it was like to be with him, I wanted so much more.
Lord, we hadn’t even made it to a bed yet, but I couldn’t wait for that to happen.
“Geez, Katia, you’ve got it bad,” I muttered, allowing myself one last moment of relaxation before I pushed into a sitting position. After gathering my clothes, I locked the front door and set the alarm. Heading upstairs, I took a quick shower before sliding into bed.
I usually slept in a t-shirt and underwear, but tonight, I glided between the sheets naked, allowing my still-buzzing skin to feel the coolness and wishing it was Leo’s hands.
“Soon enough,” I said, yawning as I turned off the light.
Sonya hopped onto the bed, settling near my feet as I closed my eyes.
Resting my cheek on the pillow, anticipation coursed through me as I envisioned the next time Leo would say my name in that growly voice as he buried himself deep inside me. ..
