Leo (Vigilance 3)

I nodded, mouth open as I stared at him, trying my best to drag in enough air. I was dizzy, and I thought I might pass out from the intensity. I didn’t want to miss a second of this because I didn’t know if he’d want me like this again.

I shuddered as he wrapped his warm hand around my cock. There was already a puddle of precum on my abdomen. Leo slid his fingers through it and smeared it over my shaft before gripping me tightly. He held my hip firmly with his other hand.

“Don’t hold back. I want everything.”

“I… I’m scared.” Tension built in my body. Suddenly, I wasn’t sure I wanted to come again.

“I’m right here,” Leo said, voice low and soothing. “I’m going to catch you. I’m going to take care of you. Now give me what I want, sweetheart.”

I couldn’t fight it anymore. I drove up into his hand as he filled my ass. I was going to come again when I’d thought that was impossible. There shouldn’t be anything left in me, but my body managed to pump out enough cum that I felt wetness hit my chest.

“You’re so fucking gorgeous, baby.” Leo leaned down and swiped his tongue through my release before kissing me.

I tasted myself on him. I was his. All his. My head was spinning. How had this happened?

I felt his big body shudder as he thrust into me one last time and came.

I wished he was bare. I wanted to feel his hot cum inside me. I wanted to rub it into my skin. I wanted to smell like him, to taste like him. I was in so much fucking trouble.

I’d known once wouldn’t be enough with him from the first time I saw him, but I had no idea just how incredible being with him would feel. I didn’t know I would feel like I’d finally found the one.

Tears stung my eyes. I wasn’t going to be able to keep him. He might say I was his, but he didn’t want anything long-term. I’d known that going in, but I’d been too much of a fool to stop myself. I could have told him no. He would’ve protected me anyway, but how could I have denied myself? How could I have survived lying in bed all night knowing how close he was?

“Sweetheart?” Leo brushed the backs of his fingers across my cheek.

I kept my eyes closed, not trusting myself to look at him or say anything.

“Look at me.”

I didn’t want him to think he’d hurt me. He hadn’t, not in the way he would think. I didn’t want him to see my tears or push me to confess why I was crying. I wanted to run.

“Ezra, look at me.” His voice was firmer now. He was using the commanding tone that made me want to obey him. I opened my eyes and looked up at him.

“Are you okay?” He looked so fucking worried.

I nodded, not sure what to say.

“Ezra?”

“I am. Really. You didn’t hurt me. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I just…”

Leo used his thumbs to brush the tears from my cheeks, then he pulled out of my ass. I couldn’t keep from wincing.

“Oh, sweetheart. I should’ve been gentler. You’re going to be sore tomorrow.”

“I don’t mind,” I said. “It’s not that. It’s…”

“Tell me. You can tell me anything.”

Could I? “I want… I wish I could really be yours.” I closed my eyes and turned my head to the side, unable to look into his eyes after saying those words. “I know that’s stupid. I know—”

Leo cupped my cheek and encouraged me to turn back. “You are mine. Look at me.”

“I mean… I know you’ll protect me, and I’m thankful for that, but…”

“You should be angry. I should never have put you in danger in the first place. I should’ve done a better job of protecting you already.”

“Leo, you… I’m the one who wanted to know, who chose to eavesdrop, who went after you when…”

“That’s not why this man will be looking for you. He’ll try to use you against me because he knows…”

“He knows what?”

“That I care about you.”

He couldn’t mean that like it sounded. “You mean he knows you brought me home? Do you think he’s watching your apartment?”

“I have no doubt he’s watching this place and that he knows you’re here, but that’s not what I meant.”

He blew out a long breath. “You should be basking right now, enjoying how you feel. Let me worry about this.”

“But I…” No. I wasn’t going to say more. I wasn’t going to humiliate myself. I would take what I could get from Leo. If that meant he was taking care of me right now and I could pretend I truly was his, maybe that could be good enough. “Okay. I’ll let you take care of this and me.”
