Chapter 31: Thirty: Caveman

Peaceful wasn't the right adjective to be used when describing the time Becca spent with Leo. She had always heard about how rich businessmen with their slick business talks could make your eyes roll to the back of your head but the only thing Leo Kane had done was be nice, flirt with her, and hit on her, not to talk of in his car.

Becca was a grown woman but still felt flustered like a starstruck teenager. She couldn't help but tremble inwardly every time Leo innocently touched her even though deep down she knew his touches weren't innocent. At least the intent wasn't but still couldn't help it. She clung to Leo's every word, hoping he would touch her more.

It was utterly annoying and frustrating to Becca, she didn't want to feel this way or even think about it. He was doing all this to her on purpose, she knew that for sure and it only made her hate herself even more for reacting to it. To his dark magic.

He walked her into the building, despite how many times she told him that he didn't have to. Her apartment was on the highest floor so they had to take the elevator there and thankfully, the ride was quiet, with none of them speaking a single word. And Becca had her eyes looking everywhere but at him. Stepping out of the elevator, with a firm hand on the middle of Becca's back, Leo guided her to her apartment door.

" Thank you for the ride." She said sincerely as they approached her apartment door.

" You're welcome." He responded. " I guess I would be hearing from you." He added and Becca's brows furrowed as she narrowed her eyes at him.

" Why?"

" Because I will be in touch," Leo responded and Becca raised a brow questioningly at him which he ignored, acting like he didn't see it in the first place.

'This man was really something.' Becca thought inwardly.

They were in the middle of the hallway with Becca's apartment door just being a few feet away, Becca turned to him and politely said; " You don't need to escort me to my apartment door, I am more than capable of making it there on my own."

" But a gentleman always sees a lady home." He said while Becca cried internally.

What was this man's head made of? Doesn't he get that she was trying to ditch him? Why was he still here?

" And are you always a gentleman?" She accidentally blurted out and subconsciously bit her lower lip in fear that she might have said something offensive to him, the man who was supposed to have a habit of making people disappear.

But truth be told, Becca found it hard to believe that the Leo Kane in front of her now was the same one she used to hear about. The Leo Kane that Kristina and Johnny argued over, the same one who was rumored to be running the biggest mafia organization in America. It was really hard for her to believe that they were supposed to be the same person because the man in front of her seemed different. Excluding his shameless character, this guy was kinda friendly, brazen but friendly. Nice to talk to when he wasn't murdering her with that shameless mouth of his.

She didn't know why those rumors about him circulated in the first place when he was such a nice guy.

Instead of getting offended, he laughed it off before saying; " Definitely not. Most people would compare me to an untamed beast. A lion."

" Is it because you're wild?" She asked and he smiled at her.

" Partially, but more because I'm a predator, a hunter when I see something I want I go after it no matter what." He answered, liking how more relaxed Becca was getting around him. He wanted her to be herself around him, he wanted her to open up to him and that wouldn't happen if she kept looking like she would run out of the place whenever he got close.

Leo insisted to take her home and even walked her to her doorstep not because he thought she couldn't go on her own but because he wanted to be close to her. He didn't want to leave her and if possible wanted to tie her to him. He was just doing all this to prolong the time he had with her.

" And what do you want?" Becca again mindlessly asked as they got to her doorstep and silently yelled at herself doing so when she saw his lips twitched into a sinister smirk.

Only God knew what that perverted human being had in mind.

He didn't reply immediately and kept on staring down at her with a gaze so intense it had her dropping her eyes to study the floor like it was the most interesting thing she had ever seen. Leo put a finger on Becca's chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.

" Would you run scared like a frightened kitten if I said it's you I want?" Leo asked but for some reason, Becca wasn't too surprised by his response. She already knew he would say something like that from the way he was looking at her.

" No, but I might hurt you in your man parts if you try to take advantage." She boldly said, looking him straight in the eyes.

A wicked smile curved Leo's lips, feeling very amused by Becca's bold but cute threat. She had no idea how insanely adorable she looked when she tried to act all tough and suddenly felt the urge to pinch her squishy cheeks. For someone like Leo who practically gave out threats like they were Christmas presents, seeing Becca standing boldly threatening him for some reason made her look even sexier than she already was. Leo looked at her from head to toe and then lick his lips, thinking how delicious she would taste if he devoured her right there and then in front of her doorstep. He tilted his head a little to the side with the wicked smile still dancing on his lips.

" Is that a challenge?" He asked and Becca's eyes shot out.

No. Yes. God, she felt conflicted and talk about how small she looked in front of him. She couldn't think straight again and it was still his fault.

" N-n-no, it's not a challenge. We are business partners now and have to keep things professional between us." Becca said and Leo took a step forward, looking like a predator stalking its prey, making her take two steps back. He kept advancing and she kept retreating until her back hit the door. Leo slammed his big hands on the door frame, caging her between the door and his body in the process. With no way to run, she was trapped.

" Do you think that's enough reason to stop me from going after you, huh? Just know that no matter how much you run, I will chase you. I enjoy the chase and trust me, sweetheart, this push and pull game you want to play, sorry to say but you won't win it." He said in a dark seductive tone and Becca was honestly grateful that the hallway was empty with no one around to witness the scandalous scene that was taking place.

" You seem to be confident that you're going to win." She said, feeling her breath hitch when he leaned closer.

" Of course, I rarely lose, especially when it's something I really want. So prepare yourself, I will pursue you and you will be mine." Leo proclaimed, his hot breath fanning Becca's face.

Cocky. Self-assured. So utterly male and a sexy one at that.

But Becca was a modern woman, surely she wouldn't fall for his caveman antics.

" You make it sound so ominous, it's like I don't have a choice but to go with it." She said sarcastically and rolled her eyes.

" You don't. Can't you recall what I told you? I'm a predator and I always get what I want." Leo said, retracting his hands from the door.

In an attempt to hide her racing pulse, Becca turned to face the door, fumbling the keys to unlock it and flinched when his hand covered hers. The lock clicked and she opened the door but before she could turn to face him again he wrapped his arms around her waist, hugging her body close to his.

" Let go of me, Mr. Kane," Becca said as she felt Leo's hands snake around her waist and instantly tried to remove them from her body but he didn't budge. He didn't let go and the more she tried to push his hands off her the tighter he hugged her, making her once again aware of his size. The overwhelming aura he exuded.

" No," Leo responded, resting his head on Becca who shivered when she felt Leo place a kiss on her neck and inhale her scent. Slightly shaking, she quietly muttered; " Thanks again for the ride." Becca said, hoping he would let her go as it was late and she was already tired.

" No need to thank me, I just did what I had to." He responded.

" Had to? I had no idea I forced you." She snapped, frowning and Leo spun her around to face him with his hands caressing her shoulders. Becca grabbed his arms to stop him from touching her but instead of stopping, he smiled at her and continued what he was doing.

" Don't misunderstand it, I felt obliged to do so." He said, cupping her face in his hands. With that untrustworthy smile still playing on his lips, he touched his forehead on Becca's.

" Since we didn't get the chance to exchange phone numbers, I will leave you with a kiss." He said and before Becca could protest or even register what he just said, his lips landed on hers, claiming it with yet another passionate kiss. Feeling his warm lips moving on hers, Becca felt all the hair on her neck begin to stand.

And just like that, it was gone. Leaving her wanting more.

Damnit! Becca wanted to slap herself across the face for thinking that. Her face became flushed with her chest heaving up and down from how intense the kiss was. It was one someone would use to brand a possession and that was exactly what Leo did. He staked his claim on her, branding her as his woman and whether she accepted it or not, she was his.

With a devilish smirk, Leo strode away from her to the elevator but not before tossing her a sensual grin over his shoulders and said; "see you tomorrow, little kitten." Then he left. Gone. Maybe in the body but not in the mind.

Little Kitten! Little fucking kitten!!

How the hell did she remotely resembles a kitten for him to give her such an unfortunate nickname.

She leaned on her door frame for a while, completely left flustered by their kiss. Even with his obnoxious caveman intent to claim, she still couldn't help being affected.

Leo wanted her.

He wanted Becca to be his and God help her because if he keeps up this seduction of his, she might also want him as well.
