Chapter Six

Leo stumbled into her bedroom and they fell on the bed with a tangle of limbs. He fell off to the side, bouncing on the mattress to avoid crushing her beneath him. He rose up and rested his weight on his elbow and looked down at her. She was smiling up at him and it struck him then. He wanted to see that smile ever day of his life. He wanted to be the one that made her this happy all the time.

After a few moments, her smile faded. “What?”

He shook his head. He couldn't tell her how he felt. She was skittish as it was. If he told her he was falling in love with her, she would freak out.

“Oh, God, I look horrible, don’t I? I didn’t sleep last night because I was worried about Jack and then I had a long day today. I must look a mess.”

She didn’t have much makeup left on her face that was true. But there was a wholesome inner beauty to her, something that had nothing to do with her physical appearance. It would have shone through regardless of her outward appearance.

“No, it isn’t that.”

It was hard to hold back his true feelings. Leo wasn’t a man who ran around singing to the world about private things, but he wanted to for her. Something told him Maryanne wouldn’t accept it just yet. He was the kind of guy who planned everything out and he hadn’t planned on this. But seeing her now, laying in bed, and feeling her body next to his, he knew that he had come home. For a man who had spent his life in the military, that meant more than anything else.

He couldn’t tell her but he could show her.

Leo leaned down and kissed her, softly at first, keeping his eyes open as he brushed his mouth over hers. Her eyes clouded with need then drifted shut and he deepened the kiss. He kissed his way down to her neck as he slipped his fingers beneath her shirt. He pulled it up over her head.

When he saw the simple front closure bar, he sighed with appreciation. There were times he loved fancy lingerie on a woman as much as the next guy, but since his brain wasn’t working beyond getting them both naked, simple was best for now. He popped it open and his brain shut down.

God, she was beautiful. Silken skin, pink nipples, and just the right size for his hands. He brushed his fingers over the tip of one, then cupped it. He dipped his head and took a hardened tip into his mouth. That one little sample of her had him wanting more. This wasn’t enough. He wanted to taste every inch of her.

He kissed his way down her body, enjoying the curves, the smoothness of her flesh. When he reached her waist, he pulled her pants and panties off easily in one quick motion. Leo knew he was being a little indelicate, but the urgency to see her naked, to touch her bare skin overrode his better instincts.
