Since the next day was Saturday and Becca wasn't going to work that day, she decided to sleep in, not waking up until 10:00 am that morning.

How lazy she was.

The worst part of it all was that she didn't wake up willingly but was forced to by the sound of her phone ringing. Feeling too tired and unsatisfied with her 'short' sleep, Becca answered the call without even checking the caller's ID.

" Hello?" She said lazily over the phone, her eyes closed and still half awake.

" Hello sweetheart, you sound sleepy." The caller said, causing Becca's eyes to instantly shoot out when she heard the distinct yet familiar voice.

The panty-melting Italian accent she couldn't seem to get out of her head.

Becca looked at her phone screen and saw it was Leo who she was speaking to. She sat up straighter and started fixing up her hair that looked like a bird's nest with her hands despite him not even being there to see it.

" Good morning" Leo greeted over the phone, with a smile that shone brighter than the sun.

" Morning, Leo" She answered, lazily scratching the back of her neck and yawning. " What's up?"

" I miss you. When do you want me to pick you up?" Leo asked and Becca looked at her clock that hung on the wall. She saw it was still ten and probably too early to eat ice cream.

" You can pick me up in about an hour." She answered, smiling.

" Okay. See you later, little kitten." Leo responded and Becca frown at how Leo was getting fond of calling her that nickname. Though she didn't hate it, just wasn't a fan of it. She wasn't even a cat person to begin with and preferred dogs as pets.

" Why do you like calling me that? Little kitten?" Becca asked and heard Leo chuckle over the phone.

" That's because you're too cute for your own good and also because the very first time we met each other, you looked like you wanted to scratch my eye out with your claws," Leo explained and the frown on Becca's face only deepen as she felt even more confused.

What first time was he talking about? The first time Becca remembered seeing Leo was at the club where she was low-key ogling at him and they met officially at the conference meeting where she was, again, secretly ogling at him. She didn't remember trying to scratch him so what was he talking about?

" I don't know what you are talking about. When was that?" She asked and heard Leo sigh. Now she was getting confused.

" Don't worry about it anymore, it's nothing." Leo instantly dismissed the issue, it wasn't important anymore whether she remembered or not, he had her with him now and that was all that mattered.

" Okay, see you later." Becca shrugged.

" See you."

After their phone call, Becca got off the bed and went to brush her teeth. She took a shower after that and had a small breakfast since they were still going out for ice cream later. She got dressed in jeans and a blue top and rushed out the door since she was already running late but instead bumped into Leo's hard chest.

Leo wrapped his arms around her to prevent her from falling backward but still didn't let go even after she regained her balance. Leo, who had missed Becca terribly since last night, looked at her in his arms. Feeling her body against his, the essence of her perfume invading his senses and driving him crazier than he already was.

He lifted her and she instinctively wrapped her legs around him. Leo began trailing kisses all over her face down to her neck and collar bone. Showing her a small portion of the same sweet torture he had to go through when she was right next to him but yet couldn't touch her the way he liked.

The way he really wanted to.

" God Becca, you're a drug. I can't stop myself from wanting more, I want more of you." Leo said in a husky tone and continued his assault on her, making her moan in pleasure.

Despite wanting to take her there and then, Leo constantly reminded himself about his words to her last night. That he would take things slow with her and seducing her with his expertise wasn't going slow, was it?

As hard and painful as it was for him, he had to control himself, to restrain himself from going against his words. For the sake of honor.

Fuck! Honor could be such a bitch something.

Reluctantly, he put her down and pecked her cheeks.

" Let's go," Leo said and pulled her out of her apartment to where he parked his car. It would be just the two of them like last time.

Becca silently followed him, feeling flustered by what he had just done to her. Her heart still violently banging in her chest and she felt a little hot on her lower abdomen.

She didn't have experience in anything like that before, no one had ever touched her the way Leo just did, and was kinda curious to know what it was. To see what would have happened if he didn't stop.

' What the heck just happened back there? Why is it so hard for me to catch my breath? And most especially, why did he stop?' Becca asked herself but no answer presented itself.

She gazed at the man who held her hand while walking next to her, blinking rapidly at him for a few seconds before looking away when he turned to her.

Leo noticed her stares, he noticed everything and smiled when he saw how shyly she looked away from him. Like she would turn to stone if she looked him in the eyes.

How could she be so cute?

To tease her a little, Leo wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him, making her gasp at his sudden action. As if that wasn't enough surprise for Becca, Leo brought his lips to her ear and gently bit her earlobe before whispering seductively to her.

The man just liked getting all up in her space for some reason, seducing her in broad daylight with his devilish beauty.

Disrespecting her with his sexiness.

How shameless of him!

" I had no idea you found me so attractive, your eyes were literally glued to me just now," Leo whispered in Becca's ears, making her eyes roll to the back of her head. After regaining her composure from his attacks, Becca shot him a side glare and pushed him off her. She chose to walk ahead of him to be a safe distance away from his shamelessness.

Becca wondered how a man like Leo could act so shameless, and how his words were so brazen. He didn't look like the type and looked more like the serious and only-smiled-twice a year kind of guy but here he was bursting out all his acts of seduction on her. Not to talk of how he roasted her brain cells like marshmallows with his hot kisses.

He acted both gentle and extremely shameless with her at the same time. And it got Becca thinking; 'was that how all attractive men behaved?'

Acting all shameless because they knew they were fine and their good looks would help them get away with it?

' And he was saying it was my fault that he was getting addicted to me. Not only was he shameless, but he was also blaming me for what was clearly his fault.' Becca rolled her eyes and got in the car without waiting for him to open the door for her.

How wouldn't he get addicted when he always craftily utilized every opportunity he got to be with her, every single chance he had to touch her, and the joy he felt in his heart when he did so without her rejecting his advances was unmeasurable.

But despite not pushing him away, Leo still felt that Becca was reluctant to be with him.

He knew she was still confused about things and how fast things were happening made making up her mind a little difficult at the time. He understood all that but still wanted her to fully accept that she was his before doing anything with her.

He wasn't discouraged though, he wasn't upset that the only woman he had ever loved and wanted wasn't ready to accept her obvious growing feelings for him.

And that's where he came in, he planned to make her realize that she wanted him just as much as he wanted her. Maybe even more if possible.

He was aware that Becca being raised by Regina had greatly impacted her character as a person, making her as bad as Regina was when it came to expressing feelings. When it came to understanding them. But not to worry, he would show her how to, he would teach her what she needed to know and would do it well.

He decided that Becca was going to be completely his and no one was going to change that. It was just a matter of time.

Leo drove them to a fancy-looking ice cream parlor and parked his car in one of the empty parking spaces available. He got out of the car and opened Becca's door as well.

Becca, who was still feigning annoyance, swatted Leo's hand away when he tried to grab hers and went ahead to enter the shop without waiting up for him.

'And she still asks why I call her a little kitten' Leo said to himself and shook his head before following her from behind.

As they both stepped into the place, Becca's eyes glistened with joy as she gaze upon the different flavors of ice cream on display then looked at Leo with eyes widened like that of a child.

She took his hand and pulled him to the counter where she placed a heap of orders which Leo would be paying for since he selfishly ruined her lipstick last night.

They pick a table where they waited for their orders to be served. At first, Becca thought that just like in the restaurant, Leo wouldn't actually eat anything and would sit there staring at her. But was shocked when the man picked up his spoon and began devouring the first ice cream cup as soon as it was served.

Becca stared at him in disbelief for a while then snapped out of it and picked up her spoon to devour her share as well. The amount of ice cream they ordered that morning was insane and while Becca was on her third cup and Leo was finishing his fifth.

She soon dropped her spoon on the table and pushed her cup slightly away from her, leaned back on her chair, and hugged her stomach.

" I'm done! I don't think we would be able to look or even eat another cup of ice cream after this." Becca said, unable to eat anymore, talk more of finishing her remaining cup.

Leo paused eating his ice cream and shot her a look before scoffing at her.

" Hmph, speak for yourself." He said and continued eating his fill of ice cream.

Becca's jaw dropped to the floor as she saw him picking up his sixth cup and scooping spoonfuls of it into his mouth. Who would have thought that the man was such a fan of ice cream? How could he eat it so much?

After his sixth cup, Leo dropped his spoon as well and leaned back on his chair.

" Okay, now I'm done." He said and Becca giggled at him.

" What about the remaining four cups?" She asked and Leo's eyes went to the four untouched cups of ice cream on the table.

" Don't worry, I will take them home with me." He said with a cheeky smile on his face while Becca gaped at him.

" You're still going to eat more?" Becca asked in shock, astonished by how he was willing to eat more despite already eating a lot.

" And why do you look so surprised about it?" He asked and used his finger to close her mouth that was still hanging open.

" I don't know, I just never thought you would like ice cream so much," Becca said as Leo gently stroked her chin with his thumb. " What else do you like?" Becca asked and Leo smiled, his eyes saying 'thank you' as they looked up to the heavens.

Finally, after waiting for so long, she wanted to know something about him. Leo became ecstatic, his heart doing backflips in his chest and a grin brighter than the sun appeared on his face.

" Chocolate cake, I love those." He answered, trying to act cute but again failed horribly at it and just came out looking unnecessarily sexy.

' How can Becca pull off being cute but I can't? Was there some kind of secret formula I don't know about? You know what, fuck it. I can't kill myself in the name of trying to be cute. I will just stick to seducing her senseless instead.' Leo said in his head as he stared into her eyes and waited for her response.

" So technically you like anything that is packed with sugar?" Becca asked to confirm and he nodded.

" Pretty much, my grandma even used to call me her little sugar ant when I was younger," Leo responded and Becca exploded into a fit of laughter.

" Wait, what?! Really?" She asked in between her giggles, not being able to believe that the man in front of her, who looked like a tough businessman, Leo Kane the great himself used to be called a name as silly as sugar ant.

" Yeah, I remember when she would always scold me and my cousin, Damian, for eating all her baked goods before she could get the chance to share it with the rest," Leo confessed, recalling a fond memory of his grandmother shouting at him and his cousin for breaking into her kitchen to steal her freshly baked cookies. Those were the good times of his life before it turned into something else. Before the cruelty of the world changed him.

" You can't be serious, how old were you back then?" Becca asked, her face flushed red from laughing so much.

" About seven or eight and apparently sugar-driven as well" He laughed and played with her hands on the table.

" What about pizza?" Becca asked and Leo shook his head.

" Nah, I had a bad experience with it."

" Okay." She didn't press on anymore and her gaze started wandering around the place until it settled on the people who just walked in.

She narrowed her eyes at the man and woman who stepped into the parlor. Though they stood far away from Becca and Leo's table, she still thought they looked extremely familiar. After staring at them for a while, she soon realized that the man was Ace, Navaya's boyfriend and the woman was Agnes, her secretary.

Becca kept staring at them with her brows creased in confusion as she wondered what they were doing there together and why they were holding hands like a couple on a date.

Leo noticed Becca intently staring at something behind him and turned to see what was taking his woman's attention away from him.

He even planned to kill whoever it was that was robbing him of his right to have all of Becca's attention.

He saw that she was looking at another couple that was holding hands but something about the guy looked familiar. Leo remembered seeing him the night he saw Becca again and frowned when he recognized him as the man who hugged Becca at the club.

The fucker stole her attention from him that night and was doing the same thing all over again.

Fuck!

' So, we meet again you little piece of shit but this time I won't be so kind as to just walk away.' Leo sent vicious glares at Ace's head, planning how he would finish him off and quietly dispose of his body.

Leo's frown deepened when he saw Becca still staring at the man who would soon become a corpse and snapped his fingers in front of her face.

" Hey, I'm better looking than he is. Stop staring at him." Leo's harsh voice snapped Becca out of her trance and she looked at him.

" That's my best friend's boyfriend over there.." She said, turning back to look at Ace and saw him hugging Agnes. " And what I want to know is why he's hugging my secretary here?"
