I felt dazed as I sat on Leo's lap making out. My mind squealing with joy as I allowed myself to believe, to hope, that everything he said was real. I didn't feel like a frumpy librarian in his arms, no, I felt sexy, wanted. I wriggled and heard him groan, freezing with a moments panic! Was I too heavy?
"Get out of your head baby, you are perfect" he growls, nipping my earlobe with his teeth, making Goosebumps break out all over my body as I shivered in his hold.
"I'm too heavy" I whimper, torn between worry and losing my mind to what he was doing to me.
"I'm going to spank your sweet backside if you keep worrying" he pulled back slightly and wrapping him hand in my hair pulled my head back so I could see his serious expression.
I bit my lip to stop my groan at him handling me so easily. No one had every made me feel this way.
"I am a man... your man" he pauses looking at me for a response and I nod my head, my mind racing at his dominance. "I am telling you I love your softness, your curves, they make me want to pin you down and do unthinkable things to you on my desk"
"You do" I squeak out, the images his words call forth filling my mind.
"I do, and baby next to me you are a tiny dainty morsel, you are mine, I am never going to let you go" his eyes narrow as he glares at me, daring me to object."Okay" I whisper out, unable to resist him anymore.
"Okay what?" he questions, arching a brow.
"Yes sir, okay sir, I am yours"
"And you won't put yourself down or doubt your worth again, or else..." he grins wickedly
"Else?"
"I will punish you" his grip tightens, giving a faint sting where he has hold of my hair but its not painful, quite the opposite, I can feel my body becoming more sensitive, attuned to him, his words, his touch, even the air around him.
"Please" I gasp out, feeling a deep restlessness that I know only he can take care of. "Please kiss me, take me...do something"He chuckles, leaning forward dropping soft kisses across my neck, up to my ear, where his teeth graze the lobe, back over my cheek to hover close to my lips, I know I'm panting now, waiting, waiting...
"Please Leo" my voice comes out as a keening wail, my body raising, my lips seeking his but he controls my moves, keeping his lips just out of reach.
"Marry me" he whispers, sprinkling soft kisses everywhere but on my lips. "Marry me Maude and be mine forever" his lips brush the edge of mine, teasing me. "Marry me" he repeats and my body replies for me.
"Yes" I groan out and his lips are on mine, warm and searching, his tongue seeking entry and I lose myself in his kisses, till he finally pulls back, his face beaming at me.
"My fiancée" his voice surrounds me, his gaze holding mine. "Mine"
"Yes, yours" I reply, taking a leap of faith that he means everything he is saying and everything my heart wants from him.
We settle back in the chair, his hand soothing me down from the high, his kisses brought me to. "I know you said your parents were gone, but do you have any other family?" he asks softly and I sigh, this was a sensitive topic and one I had a feeling the man who held me would take exception to.
"I lied, sort of... my parents died last year but I have family, we are estranged." he waits silently for me to continue, his fingers laced with mine, supporting me. "My parents were older when they had me, I was their early retirement surprise, they had thought they couldn't have kids so had adopted my brother Roy when he was four, he was nineteen when I was born and away at university, no one was happy, Roy saw me as a nuisance, and my parents saw me as a delay to all their dreams of travelling" I looked up at him "They loved me, I was their daughter, a miracle baby, but I was also a chore, so they put their plans aside and raised me, because of the age difference they didn't really gel with the parents of the children I went to school with, it was a quiet childhood but I discovered early I had a love of reading, researching, learning. I spent a lot of time in libraries, so it was a natural progression to look at a career that fit with that. My parents didn't mind, as long as I didn't cause them any trouble, they were happy. There were no other relatives ever mentioned, each of them had been an only child and all the grandparents had been long gone"
"And your brother?" Leo asked.
I sighed and snuggled into him, tucking my head under his, he hesitated for a second before wrapping his arms around me, entering me. "Roy joined my father in the family business as planned, except dad kept working, managing it rather than Roy taking over completely as was planned, it worked out in the end though, they left everything to him""When did you last speak to him, see him?" Leo twines our fingers together, bringing them to his lips to softly kiss.
"The day after the funeral, at the reading of the will, I offered to come and help out in the office at work, he turned me down and told me I could live in the house as long as I needed to and then he would sell it and release my inheritance to me when I moved on, then he left with his girlfriend, they are married now, I saw it on his social media"
"He didn't invite you?" I shook my head at his question, remembering how hurt I had been but also relieved, I wouldn't have known anyone anyway.We sat their in silence for a few minutes "What did the business do?"
"Construction, some demolition and they owned and managed a few properties, it was doing well before I came along and I believe it had grown in the last few years, Roy got a key contract, I suppose that why they left him the business"I felt Leo stiffen "They didn't leave it to both of you?" He leans me away from him, his expression concerned "They left you something though?"
"Half share of the house and fifty thousand, it was enough to get me here and settled, Roy handled it all for me once I got the job at the library here" I lean against him, mentally tired now I had shared."I am glad you are here and I will look after you now" he murmurs against my hair, as I stifle a yawn and he laughs at me. "Come on baby bed time" he gets up, holding me in his arms and striding through the apartment and up the stairs.
I keep still, worried I am too heavy but knowing not to voice my concern, believing in his threat to spank me and I'm not sure I'm ready for that yet. He pauses at a set of double doors, looking down at me, hesitantly "I can take you to the spare room if you want, but I am really hoping you will stay with me. I promise to be good, at least for tonight, you are still recovering"My gaze searches his and I know he means every word, I have a voice... "Yes, I will stay with you" I tell him and watch the joy on his face, he doesn't even try to hide.
He grins before opening the door and carrying me inside. His room is a blend of dark blues and rich wood and suits him, he carefully sets me down by the bed "I'll get you something to sleep in, the bathroom is through there" he points out a door to the left of the bed and I nod silently watching him move to a closet and pull out a shirt and robe, bringing them back to me.
''If you give me your things I can put them through the washer, they'll be ready for morning"I nod at him silently, suddenly feeling shyer than I have at any point in his presence. I rush to the bathroom, his warm chuckle following me.
Stripping off I inhale his scent from the robe I have wrapped around me, his shirt had come down to mid thigh and I had been very conscious of my nakedness under it. Taking a deep breath I opened the door to find him stood their, his hand raised as if he was about to knock. His eyes darkened as he looked me up and down, a flush of red coating his cheekbones as I felt my own face flush with heat.'Your clothes?" He growled softly and I rushed to pass them over, blushing harder at the sight of my underwear wrapped in the rest of it.
''Get into bed baby, get settled, I will be back in a minute" he promised leaving the room. I let out the breath I hadn't realised I had been holding as he leaves me alone. My gaze zooming in on his bed, he had turned down the comforter and lit the bedside lights. I crept forward listening for the sound of him returning, I stood at the end of the bed, which side should I go, which side was his?
''Either, I will just be happy to be next to you" he whispers in my ear making me jump and scurry forward, wriggling out of the robe and diving under the covers as he chuckles watching me peak out at him from under the covers."I promise not to rush you, I just want to hold you, can I hold you baby?" He moves up the other side of the bed, stripping off his shirt and my eyes widen as he unbuckles his belt. I swear the sound of his button popping open echoed through the room and I couldn't tear my eyes away as he pushed his trousers down and off, setting them to the side before sliding under the cover in just his boxers.
My brain instantly reminded me I was naked under his shirt and I flushed. "'Sleep baby, that all we re going to do" he grins at me "Save those thoughts for tomorrow when you are well rested", his arm snakes out to pull me up close to him and I steady my hand on his chest as he settles me against him. "Sleep" he orders and I stare up at him.
"I don't think I can sleep with you here" I grumble out and he smiles, twisting a length of hair round his finger.
"Try. Close you eyes and think about all the wonderful things we are going to do in our future together" he tells me , holding me close and before I know it I'm asleep.
