Leonel

~~~

What the hell do you mean it's not him?!” I yell, my voice rattling off the grimy dungeon walls.

I hope she’d burst out laughing, tell me it's some sort of sick joke, but she only bends down to assess James’ ashen face and shakes her head.

“One thing I'm good at, pretty boy, is my job. You gave me a task to dig into the man’s past and I did. Got his name and picture and everything,” she points to the James on the floor. “This man? An incredible look-alike, but not him.”

My heart slams against my ribcage, threatening to break free. I remember James’ cries to be set free, telling me he wasn't the one I was looking for, and every bone in my body feels like it might snap in half.

“But he rushed out of the hall when everything was going on. We collected the Somnus Chorsyn button from him.”

The Madame stretches her hand to me without looking away from James. “Show me the button.”

I pull it out of my pocket, making an intentional effort to keep my hands steady and place it in her

    Ava ~~~ Everyone who's anyone is asking about my paintings.I feel overwhelmed as famous people in green and black surround me, separating me from Leonel in their numbers.“I’ll find you later, Ava,” he tells me as our fingers unclasp, and as excited as I am to talk about my art, I would have loved to talk about it with him at my side.Still, it's an incredible opportunity, and these rich people suddenly seem to be at my beck and call, asking me to name my price on the pieces that they manage to stand on.Even James Ferguson, now drunk out of his mind, tells me Leonel can keep his Axion Tech R7 if he can get my abstract painting called “Lessons in Lavender.”By the time I manage to push past them, I've got enough offers to do paintings at around 3 million dollars, and that's before the night even ends.“I can’t believe any of this,” I gasp at Evie, still in a daze from the business owner who offered to pay me $500,000 to do 6 original pieces for his vacation home. “Evie, after thi

    Ava ~~~“I love you.”The words reverberate in my head, waking me up from my haze of pleasure.Leonel looks down at me with sincere grey eyes. I’ve never known him to wear his emotions on his face, but here he is, openly showing me all of him, and all of him is telling me he loves me.I open my mouth to say something back, but every word in the English dictionary has left my brain, and I’m not sure they will ever return.No man, not even James, had told me they loved me. And I never thought in a million lifetimes that my first would be Leonel Sinclair. Leonel Sinclair who has made me feel more in less than six months than anyone else ever has in my 24 years of living.“Leonel, I—” I begin whispering, then stop, because I can’t recall anything else to say.“Y te ves como todo lo que siempre he querido,” he says in Spanish, his eyes burning holes into mine. “I told you that right before the Soirée and said I’d explain what it means when we’re done. I know we still have some time, but

    Leonel ~~~Hot. Everything feels hot.I wind my fingers in her hair, tugging painfully, but she only groans into the kiss, a sound so primal that for a moment I think we’re animals.My hands move without thinking, the same way my cock sticks up at the familiar taste of strawberries on Ava’s lips, and the next thing I know, I’m clawing at the front of her dress. I grunt as I fix my hands on the lace.I rip the long material, desperate to feel more of her, to have more of her, to sink into her fucking wet pussy.“Oh, fuck,” she cries, shrugging off my suit in between pants.“I’m sorry.” I’m already muttering in between kisses, but she’s not looking at me. “Ava, I’m fucking sorry, there’s another dress here, I—”She finally lifts her eyes to mine, and they nearly shock the cum out of me. “Shut up and kiss me, Leonel. I wouldn’t ask you again.”Oh, fuck me.I crane her neck up aggressively, shoving my tongue down her throat. She responds with the same vigor, and as she steps out of the

    Leonel ~~~Walking back into the hall is like stepping from one version of hell into another.The press round me as I come in, all of them asking something about the Axion R7 I was supposed to be getting for James, but even though I want to push them away to get to where Ava and Nicco are standing, I force my most strained smile and say in a tone I’m not sure sounds particularly inviting,“I’m having it sent to him.”James Ferguson, who had pushed his way to the front of the crowd, trying to get to me and ask about the phone, stops short at the tone of my voice.I know I should be extra nice to him, especially because however I act tonight will determine my new reputation for days to come, but I keep seeing Nicco bent towards Ava, his eyelids lowered in attraction.There’s no denying it, he wants her. And that makes me want absolutely nothing more than to tear out his dirty blonde hair.“Excuse me,” I say, trying to sound kind but really talking to James in a half-threatening manner

    Leonel ~~~ What have I done? What have I done? What have I done? “Sir!” one of my men yells as his grip on James slackens. I watch the ash-haired man’s mouth fall open and his eyes roll back as he slips out of my bodyguard’s grip. James crumples to the floor in a spreading pool of red. He does not get back up. I toss my gun aside as I hear Riggs’ awful screams. He rattles against the bars of his cage until Kenzo steps toward him in two determined strides. There’s a thud I know means that Kenzo knocked Riggs out, and then the dungeon falls eerily silent. Too. Fucking. Silent. The lack of noise means I can hear Ava’s fierce voice in my head ten times as loud as I usually do, telling me not to harm her ex, at least just for now. My heart tightens as I look at the asshole, immobile on the ground. Alaric is the first to move, kneeling before James and placing two fingers to his pulse. We all hold our breath, waiting for the verdict that stands between Ava’s forgiveness
