She pulled back slightly so that her lips were wrapped around my head, and her tongue continued to tease me. My knees grew weak, and I reached back for the chair just in time to collapse into it. Only when I threw my head back and let loose a deep, guttural moan of pleasure, did she release her hold on me.
My ears were ringing, and it took me a moment before I could look at her. Leda’s lips curved in a smile. “Now that was fun.”
I looked down at her, watching as her pink tongue darted out to trace the shape of her lips. A single white drop clung to the corner of her mouth, and she lapped it up with an expert swirl of her tongue.
“You are fucking killing me.” I wanted to put her back on the desk and fuck her hard, the need already starting to build even though she left me an empty husk.
I could do this all day with her.
She flipped herself back upright on my desk, slid down, and helped me re-dress myself before her lips found mine.
“Don’t work too hard,” she whispered. “And if you want more, you know where to find me.”
Dumbfounded, I watched as she walked out of the office, shutting the door behind her. What the fuck had just happened? What had she done to me?
Whatever it was, it had been a good fucking way to spend the afternoon.
Chapter 19
Leda
I took my time getting back to my room, my face burning and my heart racing. It wasn’t until I had the door shut that I allowed myself to take a breath.
I had done it. I had bested the Don.
Reaching into the pocket of the robe, I pulled out his sleek cell phone, tapping the screen and being rewarded with no passcode. Lucas must have never imagined someone else stealing his phone from right under his nose.
Truthfully, I had no plans when I entered his office. But when I saw his phone sitting on the desk, the idea came to me. Originally, I was going to seduce him and then get him to call Nico afterwards. But the phone gave me a better idea.
It took everything in me to resist the urge for more, especially when my legs were still shaking from the orgasm his mouth gave me.
A small part of me hated that I had to deceive him. But what other choices did I have? My brother’s help was Lucas’s only option, even if he didn’t realize it yet.
I couldn’t allow him to die, and if I had to deceive him or interfere in his business, then so be it. I would take his wrath later. And when we were both safe, he would come to understand why I did what I did.
How did that saying go? Behind every strong man was a woman who carried him? That was what I was trying to do with Lucas, trying to help him see reason so that he wouldn’t get himself killed.
My fingers trembled as I sent a quick text to Nico. I didn’t want to snoop through Lucas’s personal business. The less I knew, the better. I just wanted a way to reach my brother.
It’s Leda, I typed.I’m with Lucas Valentino, and I need your help.No suggestion of what Lucas had done to me nor any reason for Nico to suspect that I was in trouble.
It would get Nico to respond.
The number flashed on the screen a moment later, and I steeled myself against the run of emotions as I held the phone up to my ear. “Nico?”
“Leda? Is that you?”
Tears crowded my eyes. I thought I would never hear his voice again. “Oh God, itisyou.”
“I should be saying the same thing,” he stated, emotion in his voice as well. “What the fuck, Leda? What do you mean you are with Lucas Valentino? Who is Lucas Valentino anyway? I thought he was just an enforcer.”
I forced myself to sit on the bed, clutching the phone like the lifeline I never thought I needed. My brother’s line of questioning gave me pause, but I pushed through the questions, figuring there would be plenty of time to explain later on. “He bought me.”
“Bought you?”
Quickly I told him about when I left the prison and the ride to the club where I had met Lucas. “He bought me that night,” I finished, feeling the flush of heat creeping up my spine. Thank God my brother didn’t know what I had just done with Lucas to get this call or what I had done for many nights before now. “He took me to his home.”
“Fuck, Leda,” Nico breathed.
