After Navaya hung up the call, Becca stared at her phone for awhile, blinking at it in confusion.
" What's wrong?" Leo asked, forcing Becca to tear her gaze away from her phone to look at him.
" Navaya is acting weird again" She blinked. " She said I shouldn't come to work anymore today." She looked back at her phone again in disbelief.
Leo walked towards her, took the phone out of her hands and placed it back down on the nightstand, smiling when he saw Becca's brows knotted in confusion and cupped her face in his hands.
" What's with that look on your face?" Leo asked, biting the inside of his cheek to prevent himself from laughing and Becca looked up at him with a worried look in her eyes.
" Navaya sounded weird over the phone, do you think she's alright? Perhaps there is something wrong in the office, I should go see what it's all about." She removed Leo's hands from her face and walked around the bed to where she kept her purse but froze when she passed the mirror and saw the very visible pink marks that were still on her neck.
Same ones she forgot she still had on her, the evidence of Leo's sweet assaults.
Looking at the mirror, Becca raised her hand to feel one of the marks then turned around to look at Leo who held her gaze, smiling warmly at her, so warmly that she couldn't help smiling back for a few seconds before frowning again.
" The universe wants you to stay home with me." Leo got back on the bed, his eyes never leaving her even for a second.
Becca let out a loud sigh. " The universe doesn't give it's girlfriend hickeys to stop her from going to work." She huffed, pointing at one of the hickeys on her neck. Rolling her eyes at him when he flashed her a naughty grin.
He adjusted his position and patted on the space next to him on the bed, inviting her to come join him on it.
Becca rolled her eyes at him again but still went ahead to joined him on the bed.
There was no way she was going to work with those very visible hickeys on her like that and though she could still try to cover them up with makeup, receiving that call from Navaya to stay home and seeing Leo laying there looking like delicious hot chocolate, made her too lazy to leave the apartment.
Besides, she was already horribly late anyway thanks to Leo and yet there he was laying down on her bed looking like hot eye candy, how could she possibly resist the urge to move closer to him? The guy was like a magnet and Becca was the metal.
Perhaps the universe was against her going to work that day and by universe, I meant Leo Kane's fine self.
Becca laid on the bed, not on top of Leo this time, and stared at the ceiling as though it was more better looking than the untamed beast laying beside her.
Well Leo definitely got offended by her lack of interest in him, she didn't even look at him let alone talk and her silence was starting to piss him off.
After all the work he did to get her to stay home, this was the reward he got?
Silence?
Was she ignoring him to look at the damn ceiling or just trying to push his buttons?
Leo looked at the ceiling as well, correction he glared at it, trying to figure out what was so good about it that was taking up so much of her attention when all her focus should have been on him. Only him.
The fuck! She was still staring at the ceiling as though she was communicating telepathically with it.
Leo took out his phone and angrily typed on it, telling one of the bodyguards at his apartment to bring him fresh pairs of clothes.
If Becca thought ignoring him would push his buttons, though it did, she was still wrong.
Pissed or not, he wouldn't leave her without making up for the time he had be away from her. He wanted to make up for the time they spent apart but her lack of interest in him now simmered his blood to a certain degree.
Dropping his phone, Leo noticed she wasn't staring at the ceiling anymore but at her phone now.
Another tactic of hers to annoy him, she knew ignoring him was the perfect way to get under his skin and went ahead to do just that.
That was how wicked she could be.
Like who the hell taught her how to ignore him like that?
Whoever it was deserved to be shot thrice in the chest for doing so.
Leo didn't know whether it was to annoy him even more or just to test the limit of his patience but the next thing Becca did tipped the scale.
She rolled her body to face an entirely different direction away from him, as if he wasn't even worthy of being looked at.
She knew he had been staring at her all this while but stubbornly refused to acknowledge his presence, ignoring him and turning so that only her juicy ass would be in his direction.
The same ass he badly wanted to do wicked pleasurable things to. How much he wanted to grab her from behind and sink his cock into both of her extremely tight holes.
He was sure she wouldn't dare ignore him if he did that but right now all he wanted to do was spank her ass, punish her for the wrong she was doing to him.
" Fuck!" Leo cursed under his breath when he saw his naughty thoughts were resurrecting his cock that had managed to return back to sleep but was now throbbing again.
The heck, a man can't lust over his woman in peace anymore?
Leo sighed as he looked at his cock that was now up and standing proudly like a flag pole. He then kicked off the sheet and got out off bed, not missing the sad look in Becca's eyes when they flew to see if he was leaving.
" You're leaving?" Becca asked him when he towered over her, her eyes now a beautiful warm combination of cute and sad, so warm that it melted Leo's frigid heart into a puddle.
" No, I'm not." He quickly answered, not wanting her to look sad anymore and she beamed, her sad eyes now nowhere to be found.
That made him smile. She was ignoring but still didn't want him to leave yet.
" Then where are you..." She trailed off, her cheeks turning bright pink when her eyes again went to somewhere they shouldn't have in the first place.
But in her defense, actually there was nothing to justify her this time. She was just a pervert with naughty eyes.
' Damn, she's so cute.' Leo said in his head when he saw her eyes wandering off to his groin again.
An innocent woman with naughty perverted eyes. Interesting.
" I need to go get rid of this first." Leo tossed her a sensual smirk, naughtily pointing at the huge bulge in his pants and Becca's blush deepened.
As much as he wanted to stay back with her, he still had to make the problem in his pants go away first or one thing might lead to another and he would get her to make it go away.
Leo knew he was an insatiable beast in bed so in a way he kinda did her a little favor. The woman still hasn't eaten breakfast yet and for sure wouldn't last one round with him.
So with that thought, Leo left the Becca on the bed and went to the bathroom of another room where he freed himself of whatever horny spell Becca had put him under.
Once he got his release, he went to the front door and retrieved his new sets of clothes from his bodyguard that stood there waiting for him.
He took a pair from the set of clothes and headed back to the bathroom he just came out from to take a proper shower.
After changing into new clothes, Leo went back to Becca's room and frowned at the sight of her being distracted by her phone again when her attention should have been on him only.
He was now seriously considering spanking that beautiful ass of hers for it but luckily for her, she looked up at him and smiled.
Yeah, that was much better. If not, Leo would have started plotting how to annihilate her phone and probably the ceiling as well for taking his woman's attention away from him.
" You got fresh clothes so fast? How?" Becca put her phone down and sat up on the bed, her attention now fully on Leo. Anything to keep him from leaving, even if it meant forgetting how angry he made her that morning. Plus she was really curious about how he got the clothes so fast.
They looked new, did he go out to buy them?
" Magic." He grinned and walked towards her.
By magic, he actually meant money, influence and authority.
Becca shook her head, her smile still as bright as ever. " I have no doubt about it."
Seriously, she didn't. With all the things Leo had made her feel towards him in the past four months, he might as well be a sorcerer.
Leo got to her side and lifted her up in his arms, kissing her on the lips as she wrapped her arms around his neck for support.
Once the broke the kiss, Becca touched his bearded chin, feeling the scruffy hair underneath her palms.
" We still haven't talked this yet." She giggled, rubbing his chin and jaw with her hands gently while staring into his eyes.
" You haven't eaten breakfast, let's go have some." Leo said and just on time, her stomach grumbled with a noise so loud, it sounded like a whale's mating call.
Leo chuckled in amusement while Becca buried her face on his chest in embarrassment as he carried her out of the room and into the kitchen where they both ate brunch since it was already well into the afternoon.
After that, they spent the rest of the day lazing around in each other's arms, literally doing nothing but eating, laying down and talking about utter non sense. Discussing about absolute rubbish and also laughing about it too.
Their own couple goals.
Neither of them left the apartment that day, not that they even wanted to. They had everything they needed indoors. Their cuddling seemed to have given them everything they needed throughout the day.
Evening came and both got ready for bed, as though the bed hadn't been the only place them had stayed all day.
Leo's hands wrapped protectively around Becca's waist as he spooned her on the bed but just as she was about to close her eyes, she heard him call out to her.
" Love?" Leo placed a kiss on her neck and Becca turned to look at him, her eyes now as wide as ever. Curious about what Leo wanted to say.
" Yes." She touched the beard that she was growing to love on him.
" Move in with me, my love. Let's start living together." Leo grabbed her hand that was on his face and placed a kiss on it.
Becca gaped at him, of all the things she had thought he would say, this had been the least expected.
" Don't you think that would be moving a little bit too fast?" She asked, her voice sounding sweeter than honey in his ears.
" It wouldn't. We are about to spend our second night together in each other's arms, why not spend many more like this?" Leo's lips curved into a dashing smile that didn't only melt Becca's heart but also sent a gush of arousal between her thighs.
" But that's different. Living together? That's for newly Weds." She argued but Leo wasn't ready to let go of the matter so easily.
He wanted her to stay with him, to live with him under the same roof and he wasn't ready to take no for an answer.
" I don't mind marrying right now, Becca Ramus." He placed another kiss on her hand and interlocked his fingers with hers.
The way he said her name, the way it sounded on his lips, the look in his eyes while he said it all made Becca's ovaries quaver.
The sincerity in his eyes wasn't just clear but somehow played the strings of her heart, hitting the right notes. Singing to the dark corners of her heart, dancing around the wounds that wouldn't heal.
Words eluded her, all she could do was gasp at his words. What he proposing?
Her mouth opened to speak but not a single word came out.
Leo saw Becca struggling with words after his sudden declaration and chose to speak instead.
" Since you're silent about it then it's settled, I will have my men move your things to my house first thing tomorrow." Leo once again declared, causing Becca's eyes to widen to the size of basketballs.
" What? I never said yes to it." She whined and pursed her lips, knowing that she couldn't do anything to change Leo's mind.
From the time they had been together, Becca had learned that Leo wasn't a man who easily changed his mind. Once his mind was made up, it stayed that way so trying to change it would be a total waste of time because that ship had long sailed.
" You didn't exactly say no either." Leo traced her face with his finger, running it down her neck to her collarbone and ignored the fact that she was yet again testing his self-control by not wearing a bra.
The woman was such a temptress.
Becca stayed silent for a while, her eyes dropping to stare at the sheets as she didn't have the courage to look him in the eye and Leo too stayed silent, going her some space to think about it.
Moving in together was a big step for their relationship after all so he gladly have her some time to think about it.
After giving it some thought, she looked up at Leo and gave him a bright smile.
" Okay, let's do it." She giggled and Leo's smile widened. " But we got to have separate rooms."
Now that killed Leo's smile, immediately replacing it with a scowl.
" What?!" Leo's eyes shot venomous glares and Becca instantly raised her hands in front of her in surrender.
" Before you get mad, hear me out first. If you look around this room, you would see I have a lot of stuff. I don't want to inconvenience you in your own space." Becca explained with a smile on her face and Leo's glaring eyes softened a little but not completely.
" My room can accommodate all your stuff and more. You—" He couldn't even finish what he was saying because Becca soon cut him off. Something no one else ever dared to do.
" Baby, it's just for storage. I also want my own space as well and will still sleep on your bed whenever you want me to." She negotiated, drawing invisible shapes on his biceps. Knowing she was very close to getting him to say yes.
Cancel what I said earlier, if anyone was capable of making Leo change his mind, it was Becca but she was still yet to realize how much control she truly had over him.
" I want you waiting for me on my bed everyday I get home from work because that's where you would be sleeping from now on." Leo laid his own conditions and Becca quickly nodded with glee.
" It's final then.." She concluded their conversation and snuggled herself back in his arms, shutting her eyes quickly to sleep before Leo chose to go against their newly formed agreement.
