Story: Protecting Zoey
“Everything is fine, little one.” He leans in to give me a kiss that has me forgetting about everything that just went down. Until I feel a small tap on my face that brings me back to reality.
“You did so good! I knew you could do it.” I break the kiss, reaching out and taking Bentley from Leone’s arms. “I swear. You’ll get treats when we go back to our real home,” I promise him.
“Put him in the trunk. I’ll deal with him after I deal with her,” I hear Lenny growl. Leone takes a step back, and I see Lenny walking past with Xanny draped over his shoulder.
“Put me down, you caveman!” she hisses at him. I notice she’s not actually fighting him hard at all. She’s only wiggling around.
“If I recall, you rather enjoyed me being a caveman last night.”
My mouth falls open. I thought I’d seen tension between them and heated stares, but I didn’t know it had gone that far.
“Do you want me to intervene or—” Leone motions toward them with his hand.
“No way,” I say before he can finish. I’ve never seen Xanny this way with a man before. She’s pretty much letting him manhandle her.
“Good.” Leone relaxes. “I think he might have challenged me, and it wouldn’t have ended well. Lenny is like a brother to me.”
“Let’s make a deal that we stay out of all that.”
“Pretty sure you already owe me another deal.”
“Take me home, and I’ll pay up.” Leone doesn’t have to be asked twice. He has me back home in record time.
“You did so good! I knew you could do it.” I break the kiss, reaching out and taking Bentley from Leone’s arms. “I swear. You’ll get treats when we go back to our real home,” I promise him.
