Page 16 of Her Greek Protector
He turned his attention to her other breast, his fingers moving down her stomach to play between her thighs. He found the hard nub of her pleasure and lightly stroked up one side and down the other, lightly dipping his fingertip into her in a tease that had her pressing closer to him, silently begging for more.
He loved the way she eagerly involved herself in their lovemaking. When she leaned forward and bit his neck, he couldn’t stop the groan that escaped his throat. He kissed her, murmuring against her lips. “Look at me. Keep your eyes on mine.”
He waited until her green eyes collided with his own dark gaze and then he slowed his movements within her, wanting to draw out their pleasure as long as possible. “Eísai i zoí mou.My life. My confidant.”
Gemma looked at him with so much love, he knew he would move heaven and earth to make sure nothing ever removed that look from her face. Her words echoed what he was feeling. “You are my world. I’m so glad you came to the States and found Damien and me.” Her lips kissed a map over his face, her hands dug into his shoulders as she pressed closer to him. She lifted her hips slightly, and then pressed down, moaning in pleasure as her eyes closed.
Leo groaned as her body tightened around him. “God, Gemma. Do that again.”
Gemma did, her breathing coming rapidly as passion consumed them both. He kissed her, his mouth devouring hers, his tongue slipping between her teeth. When she sucked lightly on it, his fingers tightened on her thighs and he increased his tempo.
They were both panting as he increased the depth of his thrusts, her eyes widening each time he bottomed out inside of her. “Making love with you is like nothing else on this earth.”
Gemma nodded, her eyelids lowering slightly as she neared orgasm. “Leo, I…I love you.”
Leo smiled at her, “Kardia mou.You and Damien are the joy of my life. My heart.Come with me now. Together.”

An hour later, Gemma felt Leo’s hand on her shoulder, waking her from the slight slumber she’d fallen into after he’d carried her from the pool and to an oversized lounger. “If you want to talk to Aimee and possibly Damien, now might be a good time.”
She stretched her arms up above her head. “I’ll try Aimee.” She took the cell phone Leo pressed into her hand and swiped her thumb across the contact list until she came to Aimee’s number. When it connected and rang multiple times with no answer, she disconnected the call with a frown. “She didn’t pick up. She also hasn’t set up her voicemail.”
“Maybe Damien tired her out and she’s already in bed?”
“Maybe. I know there have been days where he’s exhausted me before dinnertime,” Gemma admitted.
Leo chuckled. “You could try the estate?”
Gemma shook her head. “No, I don’t want to risk waking up your parents. Maybe I should check my email? She said she was going to send me some pictures.”
Leo pulled a face. “I should probably do the same. I’m sure the company is doing just fine without my presence, but it wouldn’t hurt to check in from time to time. I would hate for any problems to arise that could give the board cause to doubt my ability to run things.”
He rolled from the lounger, reaching down a hand and pulling her to stand beside him. She came into his arms and he rubbed a hand down her back as she stretched like a cat against him. When his hands wandered lower, she giggled and then spun away from him, laughing when he tried to pull her back.
“Shall I order up dinner? I think somebody forgot about that snack,” she asked with a knowing smirk as they stepped inside the penthouse.
Leo broke into a grin. “That sounds good. I’ll be back in a minute.” He disappeared into the bedroom and returned a few moments later with his laptop. He set it down on the dining room table and then leaned down and kissed her, only stepping away when things threatened to get out of hand again. “Work first, play later.” He sauntered towards the penthouse’s kitchen without a backward look.
Gemma chuckled and rubbed her lips with a finger as she waited for the machine to boot up. She opened up her email server, mentally groaning when she saw how many unanswered emails she had. “I need to get rid of some of this junk mail.” She scrolled through the most recent messages.
“Hey, there’s an email from Kassi marked urgent.” She clicked it open and then started reading, her eyes going wide and excited. “Leo! Leo, you need to see this!” Her voice rose in excitement.
“What is it?” Leo returned to the dining room with a glass of water.
Gemma sat in front of the open laptop. “You’re not going to believe this. Look!” She pointed to the screen. “Alexi is home!”
“What? When? How?” Leo demanded. He set the glass of water down, pulling Gemma’s laptop towards him. “I can’t believe it. Alexi got home two days ago!”
Gemma wrapped her arms around his neck, leaning over his shoulder. “Does it really matter? He’s home.” She leaned forward so that their eyes could meet. “And that means we can go home as well. I miss my son.”
Leo kissed her and then nodded. “I need to call my parents. I can only imagine how excited they are to have him home again. I don’t think they will mind being woken up for this call.”
“Why don’t you call Alexi first? I’ll try Aimee again as well.”
Leo laughed. “Yes, why don’t I call Alexi first? Dinner can wait for a bit.”
Gemma beamed. Leo was obviously excited to see Alexi again, but now that the moment was at hand, she felt a twinge of unease. The last time she and Alexi had seen one another, she’d thought he was the man she’d met in Paris and was falling in love with him. The memory of their time together increased her tension.What will be, will be. I’m married to Leo now and Alexi and my time together was all under false pretenses. I hope he can understand that and we can all get along together.
Another thought raced through her brain and she paused.What if I still find myself attracted to Alexi? God, that would be horrible. I don’t love him, I only thought I did. I fell in love with Leo.
Her mind was in turmoil.
Leo saved her from her thoughts by pointing to the computer. “It’s getting ready to connect.”
Gemma spied her own reflection in the glass tabletop. She giggled. “Would you like some clothes or are you and your brother used to conversing in the nude?”
Leo looked at her and then at himself before barking a laugh and pausing the computer’s actions. “Clothing is definitely required. There should be robes in the bathroom.”
“I’ll grab them.” She wandered towards the master bathroom, hoping Leo’s call to his brother went as he hoped. Before seeing that picture, Leo had never expected to speak to his brother again. This trip was going to change all of that. It was going to change lots of things!
