“What were you guys talking about?” Leon asked, watching his brother’s retreating back. “I’ve rarely seen him looking so happy.”
“He might stop locking me up in my room.”
His amber eyes shone with warmth. “You look happy too.”
“I am.”
Sinking back into the couch, I removed my shoes. Leon kneeled beside me and stared at my feet.
“They’re hurting,” I said, raising my right foot to rest over my left knee.
“Let me see,” said Leon, crouching closer. “Shit, Lucia. You’re bleeding.”
My skin had been burning for quite a while now but I didn’t think it’d be bleeding. A thick crimson slash had appeared on the pale skin.
With a sudden move, Leon slipped his arms under my thighs and hauled me up.
“What are you doing?” I squealed, hanging onto his neck.
“Taking care of you.”
I looked around wildly, wondering if people were staring at us.
Barely anyone cast a glance at us. Most of the people here were busy dancing. The remaining few who were resting were all staring at the couples on the dance floor.
Leon carried me into a corner and slipped behind a tall curtain.
“Wow,” I breathed, looking at the small resting nook that was hidden behind the curtain.A low mahogany coffee table sat nearby, its surface covered with a dish of hors d'oeuvres and a bottle of whiskey.
He put me down on an ottoman and kneeled on the floor beside me. Taking my foot in his hand, he stroked a gentle finger over the crimson slash on my skin.
A shiver ran through me at his touch.
His finger slowly slid higher. “I’ve been losing my mind over this fucking cut in your dress,” he said, his hand caressing the skin of my bare thighs.
I grabbed his hand before he could move higher.
My eyes locked onto his.
“Let me,” he said.
My hand fell away at the rough, husky quality of his voice.
His searching fingers settled over the mound between my legs. “Feels like silk,” he murmured, feeling the fabric of my panties.
A gasp escaped me as he suddenly brandished his knife.
Before I could protest, he’d slid the blade under my panties. The touch of cold steel sent a familiar throb through my core, making me hyperaware of every sensation.
The knife cut through the delicate material in one single flick. My panties fell away, baring my pussy to him.
Bending down, Leon picked up my ruined panties. He bunched it in one hand and brought it close to his nose, inhaling the scent deeply.
Heat rose on my cheeks and I had to struggle to stop myself from moaning out.
Moving closer, he covered my body with his and captured my lips. His thick fingers held my neck in a firm hold as he angled his mouth to mine.
Heat seeped from his fingers, lighting my skin on fire. He tightened his hold and deepened the kiss, his tongue swirling around mine.
