In the days since I’d taken that beating because of my association with Leo, I’d had a lot of time to think about my situation and my options. The harsh reality was, I really had none. It was either live a life based on lies with Leo, or start somewhere new, without the support of my girls.
Or at least the support of Joy.
Shit, who am I kidding? I’m part of the world of the Cordova cartel now, any ignorance that I might have had at one time no longer shielding me from the criminals. Because of Leo and Judith’s scheming, I’d drawn the attention of predators, and they wouldn’t hesitate to make their move once I was away from the protection of the cartel. I knew it, and more importantly, Leo knew it as well.
Once again it felt as if he’d taken my choices away from me, forcing me to live the life he believed I should have. And the thing was, life with Leo wasn’t bad—in fact, it was good. So good I knew it had to all be a lie, and I hated the fact that I felt like I was deeply in love with someone who’d betray me like this.
With a heavy heart, I watched some show about small houses and tried to cut through the complicated tangle of my thoughts.
Warm lips brushed over my shoulder and a heavy, naked, and slightly furry hard body slid up against my back, cocooning me in his warmth and pressing me into the softness of the bed.
He’d shaved recently, and the brush of his smooth skin against mine was a luxuriant decadence that was as sweet as candy.
Then came the warm rasp of his tongue as he licked down the valley of my spine, pausing to kiss me here and there.
He’d reached my now wiggling hips by the time my brain caught up with reality, when it dawned on me that he was kissing my faded bruises.
I tried to roll away, but he easily pinned me beneath his weight before jerking away the pillows from under my face so I could breathe.
“Get the hell off of me!”
“No.” He rocked his hips against my ass, the globes of my cheeks hugging his thick cock.
Hard…he was so hard against me.
I needed him.
No, fuck that, it was only the drugs talking.
“Leo, this is not going to happen.”
“Oh yes, it is.”
He flipped me over and before I could protest, wrapped something around my wrist. I moved to pull it off, but he grabbed my other hand and secured a familiar black bondage restraint around that wrist as well.
I tried to tell myself the full-body shiver racing through me was one of disgust, not anticipation, as I realized he’d pulled out our under-the-bed restraint system. I’d spent many, many hours in pleasurable bondage with these restraints and tried to pretend it was an automatic conditioned reaction or drugs, not true desire, that had my pussy wet.
“Don’t you dare even think about it.”
Ignoring me, he grabbed my ankle and dodged my violent kicks, pinning me to the bed tighter than usual.
Good call on his part because I was once again raging mad. “You let me go right now!”
He merely shook his head and smiled, his thick erection standing out from his body as he crawled over me to suck, then bite at my nipple.
Oh that felt so good, damn him, and my body lit up with fireworks.
Kissing his way between the valley of my breasts, he then worshiped my other small mound, drawing choking noises from me as I forced back the moans.
Not that it mattered, he knew my body well enough to read my arousal. My musk hung heavy in the air, blending with his and triggering nothing but happy memories. It was impossible to have him touching me like this and maintain my sanity. Even as I tried to tell myself over and over again this was all an illusion, fake, the result of drugs and trickery, it felt so, so good in a way that was very real.
“I’m not turned on,” I blurted as his gentle kisses moved down my body before he rubbed his cheek against my belly. “It’s the drugs.”
“There are no drugs,” he said with a soft chuckle. “Well, other than the sedative.”
I thought back to how horny I’d been earlier and frowned at him. “Yes there was.”
He lifted his head to look at me with a slight grin. “I think I’d know if I drugged you.”
The sight of his broad shoulders between my opened thighs was erotic and my clit swelled further, to my embarrassment. “No, no, no. This isn’t real.”
“It absolutely is. The sooner you realize that, the sooner we can move on.”
“Move on? Are you insane! You broke my heart!”
“I know, and I told you I would. I also promised I’d help you put it back together, and I will.”
