Chapter Four

“Took me awhile to admit the truth, but from now onwards I’ll be straight with you, Barrett,” Leo admitted.

A flurry of confusing emotions whirled inside Barrett’s head. On one hand, it was easier to take Leo at face value. Give in to the inevitable, because both of them knew how the night would end. The scorching kiss they shared whispered of promises, of an inferno waiting to happen, but Barrett had been stung before, broken so badly he had to leave the city and his job to pick up the pieces again.

“One moment you’re hot, the next you’re cold. You confuse the hell out of me, Leo.” The way Leo broke out of character in the bar told him volumes, though. A guy who viewed the world as a joke didn’t cave easy, but the way Leo reacted so possessively and protectively couldn’t be fabricated. It was simply too raw, too honest. “And I hate shifters,” Barrett added, although it was a low blow.

“The way I see it, you were about to let a big werebear bring you home for a ride,” Leo pointed out, amused, his moment of vulnerability clearly over. “What makes me different.”

“A one-night hookup with Carl is simple. Anything with you is complicated.”

“It doesn’t have to be. Besides, are you going to lie to my face and tell me that kiss didn’t do anything for you?” Leo demanded.

“Of course it did.” He knew Leo could smell his arousal. The way his need rose up between his legs, drawing them close.

“All I’m asking you to do is take this chance with me, Barrett. Aren’t you curious to finally find out if I’m close to your fantasies?” Barrett didn’t trust Leo’s knowing smile one bit, especially with that bit of sharp canines flashing right at him, daring him to take the plunge. “What the hell do you mean by that statement?”

“The house isn’t big, Barrett. When I walk past the guest rooms, don’t you think I can hear you, pumping your cock as you utter my name?”

“Fuck you, you were spying on me?”

Barrett flushed. It still stumped him why every interaction with the cowboy seemed to verge on the extreme—hate Leo, or ride him…

“I’m not going to deny it. Heck, it was an accident at first, but I kept going back. You can’t imagine how hard it was not to go in and help you out.”

“Why didn’t you? I mean, it doesn’t seem like you to wait,” Barrett muttered. He knew his answer hadn’t been the one Leo was looking for, but Leo’s revelation stumped him. Prevented his brain from coming up with a smart and logical answer.

“Because I know you were hurting and that you needed time to get back on your feet, but if you think you’re ready to start dating again, why don’t you start with me?”

Is he kidding? Did Leo think he would cave after all the intense arguments they had? Only Leo would have the guts to lay everything out in the open.
