“Don’t be
afraid.” Leo’s deep voice wrapped around me like velvet.
I bolted to
the light switch and flicked it up. Was my mind playing tricks on me?
“Leo…” It
was barely a whisper and held a hint of a question.
“My Sophia.”
He stood up and held his arms out to me, just waiting.
Waiting was
something I’d done a lot of for Leo. I kept my spot by the door, with hopes so
high they could kill me. He looked the same—out-of-this-world hot, and
fortunately not injured in any way my eyes could detect. He wore severely
distressed light-washed jeans and a plain black V-neck. His flaxen hair curled
wildly around his face and his lips were tight.
The look was
so good on him I almost couldn’t take it.
The dark
look on his face told me he was feeling exactly the same way about me and my
dress.
Without
knowing who made the first move, I ended up in his arms. Leo held me close to
his chest as my feet no longer touched the ground. I clung to him with
everything in me, not caring how hot his flesh felt against mine and forgetting
to be angry with him for being gone so long.
“I missed
you,” he told me as his hand cupped the back of my head while his other
supported the entirety of my weight.
“I missed
you more, I bet,” I told him, believing my words to be true. There were so many
thoughts swirling in my head.
“Impossible.”
He sat us down on the edge of the bed and cradled me in his lap since I refused
to end our hug.
“Well, you
could at least see me.” I had to point out the obvious. I’d had no way of
knowing if he was even alive.
Leo gently
nudged my head up with his shoulder and tilted my chin with his burning fingers
until it was level with his. “I’m sorry I left you.”
Before I
answered, his lips caught mine in a crushing kiss. My hands buried themselves
in his hair and held his face as close to mine as possible. My heart was
beating so loudly I was sure he could hear it and I couldn’t breathe but it
didn’t seem to matter.
Leo’s mouth
only left mine to kiss my shoulder, then trailed down to my arm. Where his lips
met my skin, visible puffs of steam appeared.
“Oh, God.”
He groaned and tried to pull away from me.
“No,” I told
him as I tried to keep him close.
“I’m hurting
you.” He brushed the hair away from my eyes, just barely touching me.
“Stopping
would hurt me.”
My words
were all it took for his lips to be back on mine. Leo fell back on the bed and
pulled me with him. First I was on top of him. Then all of a sudden Leo was on
top. My hands pressed into his back with all the strength I had as I pulled him
closer to me.
