All Chapters of Seduced by His Touch: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

LeoTonight, had been going great. Even better than Leo had hoped. He and Amara had joked and laughed and talked, and it was always a good sign when you completely lost track of time. There were no awkward silences; their conversation just flowed easily. It felt like they were really clicking with each other, and he didn't think he was the only one who thought so. Amara visibly relaxed around him over the course of the night. But now she'd dropped this massive bomb and asked the question that could quite possibly make or break the rest of the night entirely. And he had a feeling that how he responded to the question could quite possibly make or break how things went from here. It was a moment that felt so real, so crucial, and for a second, he was filled with dread that he was going to blow this.In a manner, he was glad that she had asked him why he had made her life hell. He had to explain, to make her see that he had never considered her a laughingstock, that he had always consider

AmaraAmara's whole body burned as Leo kissed her. His kiss was deep and tender, the type of kiss that had her dreaming of not only sex with him, but life with him. It wasn't the type of kiss you gave someone if all you wanted to do was fuck them and then discard them. But still, it managed to ignite her nerve endings, making her body thrum. It made her feel like asking Leo in, taking him upstairs to her bedroom, and fucking the living daylights out of him if she was being totally honest with herself.Something still held her back, though. She knew she and Leo had had a great time tonight, and Leo had been nothing but nice, but she wasn't ready to fall into bed with him physically, and thus fall into his trap mentally. She was incredibly attracted to him; there was no denying that. And the more she got to know him, the more she realized it wasn't physical alone. That didn't mean, however, that she was ready to drop her defences and be open and vulnerable with him. Not yet. She wanted

LeoLeo drove through town and stopped in front of Amara's apartment building around eight twenty-five. He didn't know what to do. Does he send her a text? Beep the horn? Go to her door? He was afraid going to her door would be too formal and aggressive, and a beep or a text would be too much, like he was pushing her. He was saved from having to make the decision when Amara opened the front door and walked out.She was gorgeous. She wore a pale pink knee-length dress and a white jacket and white strappy shoes. Her hair hung loose about her face.He wished to jam his hands in her hair and kiss her fiercely in hello, but he controlled himself when she got into the car. "Morning," he told her."Morning," she replied. She looked at him and smiled a trifle uncertainly.He recognized that it was because he was just sitting there and she was asking herself why they weren't driving away. He smiled at her and stepped back from the curb, and she did appear to loosen up a bit. That was reminding

AmaraAmara had just stepped out of the shower when the doorbell rang. Dammit. She wasn't expecting anyone over and she was considering just leaving it, but she knew if she did, she'd be frustrated with herself for not knowing who it was or what they were there for.She shrugged on her robe and tied it around her as she rushed down the stairs. The doorbell squealed once more as she dashed down the stairs. Now that she was definitely glad, she had come down and answered it, rather than left the phone to ring and asked herself who she'd missed when they were this insistent. She reached the door after what felt like a lifetime but which couldn't really have been any more than a minute or so, and hurled it open.There was a man in front of her, carrying a box. "Amara Denz?""Yes," she answered, rather guardedly."I have something to deliver.""I did not order anything," she answered. She was growing suspicious, and she knew she was naked under her tunic robe.The guy didn't seem to mind t

Amara Denz and Leo entered the park. It was full of life, with families enjoying the warm sunlight and couples strolling hand in hand. They walked along the small lake, where families had gathered to feed the starving ducks. Children screamed with delight as the almost-tamed ducks ate bread out of their hands. Some radio-controlled boats moved lazily across the lake.By unspoken agreement, they strolled along the lake, both of them looking for a slightly more secluded spot. Amara led Leo past the bandstand where some teenagers were sunbathing on the steps. They strolled through a large open space where there were some ball games being played and children running around. Amara led Leo through a gap in the trees and into the flower beds. They strolled through them, pointing out lovely flowers to each other. Amara walked on past the flower beds."Do you have somewhere in mind?" Leo asked her.Amara nodded, and they walked past the flower beds and across another lawn. At the lawn's edge,
