“No, it’s just for women. Unless you have a lot of people trying to fondle your chest?”
“Ah… no… but…” He flushed a little. Was he trying to be coy? If so, he was failing horribly, and it was adorable.
I wasn’t sure what prompted me, perhaps the high of my super-hot encounter with Kel or the thrill of having more students, but I found words coming out of my mouth: “I wouldn’t mind if you wanted to fondlemychest, though.”
CHAPTER 24
Tisera
What the fuck?Had I just said that?
Leo blinked as we stared at each other.
He stepped in and pulled me close, his lips on mine. And where he may have been a beginner in combat, in this… he was no mere amateur. His lips were sure and soft, his hands encircling me, pressing us tight.
I hesitated, surprised for only an instant, before relaxing in his arms and opening my mouth to him. His tongue danced with mine as the kiss deepened. But then he stopped suddenly, pulling back.
A bit breathless and concerned, he asked, “Has Daz… your brother… talked to you?”
That was an odd question, especially given our current intimate state. “What?”
“Daz, has he talked to you about…” I could see Leo’s tension, he didn’t want to say everything, but was hoping I’d understand.
I began to. “You know how Daz feels about me?”
He nodded. He released me a bit more, stepping back. “And if you know, then he has talked to you. I… I shouldn’t…”
“You shouldn’t what?” I was a bit thrown by this complete turnaround.
I could see he was trying to be chivalrous and gentlemanly. If I was another man’s woman, then he wouldn’t get in the way. But I didn’tbelongto any man, I never would. I would always be my own woman. Still, Leo’s restraint was admirable and incredibly touching… and made me want him even more.
“Yes, I know how Daz feels, and I’m still coming to terms with that, but just because he loves me, doesn’t mean I love him the same way. I don’t know how I feel about him yet, but I do know how I feel about you, Leo. And right now, I want you to kiss me.” I stepped in and quickly kissed him, to demonstrate.
Leo seemed stunned. “Oh… truly?”
“Yes,” I breathed and kissed him again. “I’ll figure out Daz later, right now I want you. Do you want me?”
“Yes,” he breathed, close and heated.
I looked around. We were still close to where my laneway met the road, mostly out in the open. I grabbed Leo’s hand and dragged him farther down the lane, then behind the thick trunk of one of the trees lining the drive, mostly out of sight of the road. I put my back to the tree and pulled him close, kissing him again, deep and needful.
His one hand slowly moved over the contours of my side and hip while the other slid into my hair, combing through the short-shorn locks.
A part of me insisted I should slow down, go over “the rules” or something, but it was a small part, so I ignored it. I didn’t want to think about Kel or Daz or the rules, so I let myself indulge in the heated passion of this moment.
All I wanted to think about right now was Leo.
I cupped his cheek with one hand before sliding it up into his silken hair, pushing his lips harder to mine. I still had my bandages on, but I didn’t care, and Leo didn’t seem to either. My other hand went to his tight ass. He may not have been as big or imposing as Kel, but he was fit and firm and very insistent.
His one hand on my side came up to my breast. I moaned, feeling the sheer fabric move over my sensitive skin. He deftly unbuttoned several of the small ivory buttons and that same hand then slid under my shirt, his hot palm and caressing fingers hard on my breast as he moved his kisses off my lips to my chin, then my neck.
I’d been smoldering with heat since my time with Kel. Leo’s insistence stirred those embers into a fire once again. We’d quickly progressed beyond kissing but I didn’t care. My mind whirled with imaginings of what might happen: would Leo use those long dexterous fingers on me, as Kel had? Would there be more?
I wanted more.
Pleaselet there be more.
I moved my hand from his tight rump to the front, lifting his doublet and undoing the silken tie on his pants. When my hand slipped under and in, I found his cock, hard and ready. Since the only other man I’d been with was Kel, I was quite surprised at the different feel of Leo’s cock: long and slender, like the man himself. He wasn’t as thick as Kel, but longer perhaps, smooth and firm in my grasp.
