“Oh my God, you feel so good!” I exclaimed.

All these damn clothes were getting annoying so I untied my halter and started unbuttoning his shirt, desperately wanting to feel his skin against mine. When I got half way down, he ripped the rest of the buttons away. He lifted my body and gently laid me on the table. It was soaked from the scotch we just knocked over but I couldn’t care less. I pulled his beautiful, bare chest into mine as I scratched my nails down his back. He left my lips to kiss a path down to the curve of my neck. I gasped when his fangs lightly scraped my skin.

“Leo, just do it!” I shouted. “Please just bite me before I change my mind!”

He pulled back and looked at me curiously. His gaze centered on my face, then to my neck, and back to my face again. His fangs retracted as he lifted me up and placed me back on the seat beside him, pulling my skirt back into place and retying my top.

“What the-----” I started to say.

“Wow, that was ah….a little more than I was expecting.” He said with a big grin.

“Uh, yeah that’s some influence you’ve got there Mister.” I replied, desperately trying to catch my breath.

With a low chuckle he said, “My dear, I’d hate to break this to you, but I released my hold on you the moment our lips touched. The rest was all you.” Say what?

“Oh, um…..well this is embarrassing. Sorry about that.” I hid my face with my hands. I can’t believe I just begged him to bite me! Fuck, I must be losing my mind!

He grabbed my hands away from my face, forcing me to look up at him. “There’s nothing to be sorry about my sweet. I quite enjoyed myself. I only stopped you because this is hardly the appropriate place for such actions. You deserve better than that. When we make love for the first time, we will have complete privacy and comfort. ” Did he just say when we..?

Blushing profusely I said, “But what about Kendra? Aren’t you two an item or something?”

“Kendra is a nice girl, but my interests lie elsewhere. She was simply a futile attempt to distract me from what I really want.”

“And what is that?” I asked.

“You.”

Chapter 16

*******************

“Oh…..uh, I don’t really know where to go with that Leo. You know I’m attracted to you. Hell, my little lap dance a few minutes ago should tell you that. I’m just really confused about a lot of things right now.”

“Relax, my pet.” He said. “I wasn’t asking you to define our interests in one another. I just wanted to be crystal clear about my intentions. Think of it as one less thing to be confused about if it helps.”

“Okay, I guess I can do that.”

After an awkward silence, there was a strangled noise coming from the back corner. It almost sounded as if someone had tripped over something, which was a problem since we were supposed to be alone. Instantly on alert, Leo shielded me with his body and looked around for the source. “Don’t move.” He commanded.

Terrified, I just sat there and stared while he zipped through the bar, leaving a trail of wind behind him.

“What the hell is going on Leo?” I whispered.

He was suddenly next to me again, scooping me up, and whisking me towards the front gate. “I don’t know, but I don’t intend to stick around and risk your safety. I couldn’t see anything and there are too many scents floating around from earlier tonight to pick anything up.” He lifted the gate and deposited me on the other side. “Let’s get out of here. I’ll call my men and have them check it out.”

He walked me to the garage, calling the fanged foursome along the way. I unlocked my car door and threw my purse inside. Turning around to face him I asked, “What do you think was back there?”

He looked behind him. “I don’t know. It’s probably nothing, but I’d rather be safe than sorry. If anything is in there, my men are fully capable of handling it.”

“Are you going back?”

“No.” He replied. “I’m taking you home so I know you get there safely. I’ll call the hotel on the way and have them send a car to pick me up.”

Okay, normally I would’ve insisted I could take care of myself but I didn’t. My gut was telling me something wasn’t right, and I didn’t want to say goodbye to Leo quite yet anyway. Not because I was lonely or scared, but because I wanted to be near him. He made me feel good for the first time in weeks tonight and I didn’t want to let that feeling go just yet.

We got to my apartment and he swept the inside before letting me come in behind him. I wanted him to stay because he gave me this amazing sense of security but I knew he couldn’t because my windows weren’t protected well enough. Maybe I was just being paranoid anyway. Whatever was in the bar, if anything was even there, was trapped inside when Leo closed the gate.

I took his hand into mine. “Thank you for looking out for me Leo.”
