He wasn’t just a bunch of bravado and fast talk. He was smart and powerful and building a business where his employees were valued. He was crushing his career, and that meant that he could have whatever he wanted.
And he wanted me. It felt really, really good that he wanted me.
So good that it scared me. So good I pushed my other worries aside. I reached out and brushed my hand across Leo’s cheek, his beard soft against the pads of my fingers.
Leo grabbed my wrist. My heart pounded, and I worried I had gone too far and he’d push me away, but I kept my hand there.
“River,” he said, the word coming out in a slow, raspy growl.
“Do you want me?” I asked. “Just once? No one ever has to know.”
Leo sucked in his breath. My cock was achingly hard, straining against my jeans.
Maybe Leo had wanted me for a while. Maybe some of those looks had been more than just curiosity about his best friend’s identical twin.
His hunger turned me on. Leo grabbed my side and pushed me back against the loveseat, his hand still around my wrist. “Just once,” he repeated, then shook his head. “But we can’t. I’m your boss, River. You’re Kai’s brother.”
Of course he would torture himself about that kind of thing. At his core, Leo was a good guy, and I knew he’d never want to take advantage of someone.
He was so good. Maybe that meant it was my job to be a little bad.
I wrapped my leg around the back of his and tangled my hand in his hair. He always wore it so neatly combed and styled. It felt naughty to push my hand through his waves and mess them up a bit.
“I promise you that I will never, ever tell anyone what we do in this office,” I said, then extended my pinky finger.
Leo blinked at my finger, then laughed. He pulled a hand back, and we pinky-swore. “I promise,” he repeated.
I pulled my hand away, and Leo fell down onto me. The warm press of his body lit me, and when his lips crashed into mine I practically came apart.
Fuck, he felt so good. I licked his teeth, and he wrestled his tongue into my mouth. While I writhed beneath him, my need surged, and my cock swelled.
I was about to have a hookup. An actual, no-strings-attached hookup. It was something I always swore I wouldn’t do, but with Leo, it seemed like the only possible thing we could do that night.
Whatever this was, it felt so, so good. I couldn’t turn it down.
He wrapped his arms around me and swept me up from the loveseat. He was stronger than I would have guessed, and I held the back of his neck, perched up on my toes as I met him in a deep, long kiss.
“River,” he gasped as he pulled away his lips. He had the eyes of a wild animal, and his hands kept groping my sides and roaming across my skin. “You are so, so hot.”
I placed my lips on his ear. “You tell that to all the boys?” I teased.
Leo spun me, and in a flash, I was on the edge of his desk, laughing. He pushed some of his things aside and ground his hips into me. “What do you want to do for your first hookup?” he asked. “Let me make it memorable.”
I quivered, the good feelings sparking in my muscles. Whatever misgivings I still had about Leo vanished as he dragged his lips over my neck and promised to make me feel good.
My breath shaky, I traced my fingers down his back. “I want your body on mine,” I said. “And I want you to fuck me until I come.”
He growled and nipped at my neck, his beard scratching against my tender skin. “I can do that.”
I laughed as his warm tongue circled down to my clavicle. I didn’t intend to start hooking up with strangers or to become a regular at the bathhouse, so this might be my last chance for sex in quite a while.
With all we were risking, we might as well make it good.
I grabbed Leo’s shirt and started unbuttoning. “Naked,” I said. “Now.”
He tore away from me long enough to shut the door to his office. By the time he got back to the desk, we were both shirtless. I pressed my palms against the sparse blonde hair that grew across his chest, and Leo wrestled my pants off, tossing them to the side.
My cock leaking against my tight black briefs, I felt exposed in the middle of the quiet office. Leo’s gaze burned across my skin as he kicked his clothes off. His thick cock slapped against his abs, straining in the air, and when he returned to kissing me, he palmed my bulge.
