Page 42 of Love Above Law

"Yes! Your employee here just assaulted me. I want her fired, and the cops called," she shrieks.

With a calm expression, Dare tucks his hands into his suit pants. "I didn't see any assault. Did you see anything, Lex?" Dare questions the fuming man behind me.

"Can't say I did." Flicking his wrist Dare motions for one of the bouncers, Ace to join us.

"Yes, boss?"

"Please escort this woman out of my club. I don't want to see her back in here."

Ace takes April by the arm and begins leading her away and I give her a triumphed smirk. The moment April is out of my sight, I turn to my boss. "I'm sorry about causing a scene, Dare. I understand if you feel the need to fire me."

"I'm not going to fire you, Leyna," he chuckles. "I'm not always a tight ass."

I let out a relieved breath. "Thank you."

Dare takes his leave, and I turn to face Lex, who at this point still hasn't said anything aside from answering my boss's question a minute ago. I fully expect him to be pissed at the way I handled the whole ex-girlfriend debacle, but instead, I'm met with the biggest grin.

"What?"

"That was sexy as fuck, babe."

Rolling my eyes, I take my coat from his outreached hand and slip it on. "Can we go home now?"

"Abso-fucking-lutely." Lex takes my hand in his, and we walk out of Rumors. Opening the passenger door to his car, I go to slide in when he snags me around my waist and pulls me flush against his hard chest.

"When we get home, I'm going to strip you naked, then I'm going to watch your lush tits bounce as you ride my big cock."

My sex clenches at the mere thought of having him inside of me. Too shocked to say anything back, Lex guides me into the seat and shuts the door. When he climbs into the car, I cannot help but to look at him and smile. "I look forward to it," I say finally finding my words, and he winks.

Lex

As soon as my alarm goes off, I untangle myself from Leyna's legs and sit on the edge of the bed. Rolling my neck, I try to release the tension built up in my muscles. The hours spent on these two cases are starting to take their toll. We were hoping to get a crack in one of the homicide cases after the local media reported on the on-going investigation, but as of now, there have been zero leads.

Careful to not wake Leyna, I quietly make my way to the bathroom. Reaching into the shower stall, I turn the water on. Once I step under the hot stream, some of the tension in my shoulder eases and I close my eyes clearing my thoughts of everything entirely as my skin soaks in the heat.

Hearing the glass door, I open my eyes to Leyna stepping in. I drink her in. Fuck if I'm not the luckiest man alive.

She is all mine.

She doesn't say a word as she reaches around my right side and retrieves the bottle of body wash from the inset tiled shelf. After pouring a small amount into the palm of her hand, she places the bottle back on the shelf. Working up a slight lather she then places her palms on my chest and begins working the citrus-scented soap all over. Working in soft circular movements, Leyna works from one shoulder crossing over to the other. I stand there, unmoving as she makes eye contact with me before trailing her hand further down my abs before letting her fingertips graze the base of my cock then slowly moves her body against mine just enough for her breasts to brush against my skin as she maneuvers behind me.

Her small hands travel the length of my spine until her palms splay out along the top of my shoulders. Leyna begins to massage my tired muscles. Skillfully kneading and releasing the tightness in them. She works her hands in a circular motion all the way down my back, then stops, pressing her wet body against mine. Her arms wrap around my torso, and she places her palms on my chest. We stand under the hot water like this, the front of her body pressed against the backside of mine. I put my hand over hers, bringing it over my heart, letting her feel it beat against her touch. Leyna interlocks her fingers with mine. This moment isn't about sex. It's deeper than that. I let it sink in for a moment.

I want to think I saved Leyna when I was doing my job months ago, but the truth is, she saved me—in a moment I didn't know I needed saving.

Twisting my body to face her, I take Leyna's face in the palms of my hands and press my lips to hers. I'm not sure what I have done right it my life to deserve her, but I'm never taking her for granted, and I'm never letting her go.

Pressing her back against the tile, I palm her breasts, rolling her nipples between my fingers as I trail kisses down her neck then across her collar bone. Grabbing her behind the knee, I wrap her leg over my hip. Reaching between our bodies, I take hold of my cock and slowly sink into her. Clinging to my shoulders, Leyna digs her nails into my flesh, the sharp sting adds to the pleasure of our lovemaking as our harsh breaths' echo off the shower walls.

I'm still riding the high from this morning when I sit down at my desk at work. Opening my emails, I notice our outside source used to trace hackers—essentially hacking the hackers themselves has sent a report. Eager to know what he found I click it open.

"By the look on your face, I'm assuming you're reading the same email I just read," Kai pulls a chair across the floor from his desk to mine.

"Yeah. It seems as if someone has replaced Santino. Our ghost went a whole lot deeper than expected."

"Read down a little further. He gave us a name and address. I don't know how this guy does it, but the motherfucker found a lead for us. This could be the break we are looking for to find out who funneled money from that secure account," Kai adds.
