Chapter Four

Leonardo

Of all the women in the world, why did it have to be Amanda McKnight? I can't seem to get her out of my head. She's unlike all the other women I have dated. I love the way she teases me and how matter-of-fact she is. She doesn’t mince her words. Kevin raised an exquisite woman indeed. I find myself thinking about her day and night. I look for her when I'm in the office. I steal glances at her whenever she's making one of her stunning presentations. At night, in my bedroom, she's in my thoughts. I have never wanted to have anyone this bad before and I could, couldn't I? Don’t I have the right to love and happiness like everyone else?

Sure you do, except she's your best friend's daughter, Leo!

I close my eyes at the thought. But what if she feels the same way? Is it wrong? She's an adult, after all ... a beautiful, sweet, intelligent, amazing adult. I have never felt this way about anyone before and I'm not going to let anything get in the way of this becoming something incredible. I just need to find out if she feels the same way. That's all. If she does, nothing on earth will stop me from having her.

I clench my fists as I think about her. Whenever she walks past my office to the boardroom and smiles at me, I'm overtaken by a strong desire to have her for myself … invite her into my office and bend her over my desk, right here, right now …

The knock on my door distracts me.

"Come in."

"Sorry to bother you, Sir, but this just came in and it has to be done today," Samantha says as she hurriedly sends me a bunch of files.

"Today? But Scott should have sent these long before now."

"I know, Sir, and he apologizes. I just got off the phone with him now and he said he'll call you in a few..."

The phone rings.

"That's him, Sir."

"Ok. Thanks, Samantha," I sigh and bring the receiver to my ears.

"Mendez! How's it going?"

"Cut the crap, Scott. What's with you messing up my schedule and pulling me into a tight and impossible corner? How the hell am I supposed to read these and get them signed today?" I say, trying my best to control my anger.

Scott is the co-founder of Scott and Howard Industries, an investment bank that we have been working with on a huge deal. Scott is an amazing businessman and partner, but he has a knack for pulling crazy stunts like these last-minute projects.

"Look I know you're mad and you have every right to be, but trust me when I say that this was completely out of my hands. The board took forever to approve this and we need to get it to the governor tomorrow. He's leaving for France at 4 pm, and won't be back until next month. By then, everything would have gone to shit."

"You know I hate working tight deadlines. I need more time to go over this."

"Um ... do you have to do it alone? If you and your analyst take tonight to go through it, I'm sure you can get it done. Look I'm really sorry to put you in this position but there's no other way. I spent two nights preparing this."

"Fine but you owe me a long list of favors, Scott."

"Yeah, sure. I'll make it up to you I promise. Thanks, man. I'll send someone over to pick them up tomorrow morning, ok?"

I think for a few seconds and dial Amanda's office number. I wish I didn't have to make her work all night but I have no choice.

"Yes, Sir?"

Her sweet voice makes me smile. I love to hear her call me ‘Sir’. I shake my head and try to remember why I’m calling her.

"I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but you'll need to work late today."

"Ohh ... um ... how late?"

"Very late. Possibly all night. You and I need to go over the deal with Scott and Howard Industries tonight. We have to get this on the governor's table tomorrow. I'm sorry about this but it has to be done tonight. I'll drive you home as soon as we're done and you can take tomorrow off to rest."

"It's ok, Sir. I understand."

"Great. Can you come to my office now so we can make a start? The sooner we start, the earlier we can get it done. I've asked Esther to clear your schedule so leave everything you're working on. This is a priority."

"Aye Aye, Captain."

I grin and hang up, eagerly awaiting her arrival. It would be nice to spend some time with her. I wanted to get closer to her and although this was definitely not what I had in mind, it would give me a chance to be with her alone.

"Wow! It's 12:45! We've been at this for the past seven hours," Amanda exclaims.

"Yeah. At least we’re through with it. I didn't even think we would finish this early," I reply with relief. I pick up the pizza boxes we ordered some time ago and go to throw them in the trash.

“Hey, where are you taking those?” Amanda asks.

“I’m just going to chuck these out. I won’t be long,” I reply.

“That’s ok, I’ll finish it,” she extends a handout waiting for me to give the boxes to her.

"Really? They’ll be cold by now …”

“Just the way I like it. Hand them over!” she grins. She really isn’t backing down.

“You’re an animal, Amanda. Do you know that?” I laugh.

Whilst she finishes eating the leftover pizza, I pick up the several contract papers spread all over the floor where we're seated and arrange them neatly in the file. I look over at Amanda who is just finishing off the last of the pizza. I love that she has a healthy appetite and isn’t afraid of eating in front of me. This feels so comfortable. It feels right.

"So, do you usually work this late?" she asks whilst wiping her hands and face with a napkin.

"Sometimes. I sleep here some of the time."

"Why?"

"I'm not sure. Work mostly. Other times, I guess this place feels cozier than my bed."

We laugh and I inch closer to her. She removed her jacket earlier, revealing a black lace camisole that concealed as much as it revealed. Her black pantsuit hugs her figure perfectly.

"What do you do for fun, if you spend most of your time here?" she asks me.

"Fun?"

"Yeah ... let me guess ... more work?"

"I play golf, but not as often as I used to."

"What's this scar here?" She says and runs her fingers over my brow. Her touch sets my body on fire and I reach for her hand.

"It's a scar. An old motorbike riding accident. I was very lucky to come out of it unscathed actually." She looks at me attentively now.

Her hand is the softest thing I have ever held in my hand.

"I didn’t know you rode a motorbike. That must be pretty exhilarating,” our eyes lock and she takes a big gulp, “when you’re not falling off it, I mean.”

At this moment, I know she feels the same way I feel. Looking into her eyes feels like I'm swimming in an ocean.

"I don’t ride anymore,” I continue, “but I’d like to.”

I caress her cheek and move a strand of hair, placing it behind her ear.

"Then why don’t you?” she whispers.

We stare at each other for what feels like an eternity. I move closer and place my lips on hers, kissing her slowly and tentatively at first. She kisses me back and I pull her closer to me. She tastes and feels so good that I want to devour her. She runs her hands through my hair and straddles me, kissing me harder. I grab her ass and kiss her neck, her long dark hair between us. She smells so good. She pulls her lace camisole down, revealing her black lacy bra. I cup one breast and kiss her cleavage. When she groans out, I pull the cup down revealing the most exquisite breast and nipple I’ve ever seen. My tongue goes to it straight away. I feel like a starved man about to have his first feast in years. She groans more loudly this time, panting in my ear.

She begins to unbutton my shirt and pants as we kiss harder, our tongues locking in a sweet embrace. She pulls me up to stand as she pulls my pants down. I almost rip my shirt from my body, the need for her becoming too much. I need to be inside her and soon. I remove her pants whilst I kneel, kissing down her thighs and placing my face between her legs where her black panties reveal a wet spot from her own desire. I look up at this Goddess and witness her slowly taking off her bra. It’s fucking brutal, kneeling there, watching her look down at me, biting her bottom lip as she teases me. When she finally takes it off, I gasp at the sight of the exquisitely perfect mounds of soft, olive flesh on her chest. Her breasts are the most beautiful I have ever seen.

"You're breathtaking."

"Am I?" Her blushing makes her even more beautiful.

I stand up, kissing her body as I go, until I eventually cover her mouth with mine, and lay her down on the soft fur rug. My hands find her black lace panties and I pull them slowly off her legs, enjoying her gasps of pleasure. I run my mouth from her legs and stop at the mound in between them. I push her legs apart and lick her inner lips.

She screams out in delight, squirming beneath me.

I smile and ravage her pussy with my lips and fingers. Finding her clitoris, I push slightly upwards with my tongue ...

"Oh ... Leo ... ohhh, God!"

I suck her hard bud gently at first, licking and flicking her with my tongue all over.

“Is this what you want?” I stop to say, looking up at her. Her face is red and she’s panting and squirming in my hands.

“Please, Leo. Please don’t stop.”

I come up slightly and lick her nipples and run my finger over her clit, making her scream out again.

“I'm going to make you cum so hard, you won’t know what’s hit you,” I whisper into her ear. “Are you ready?”

She nods.

“I said, are you ready? Tell me who you want licking that pussy of yours. Tell me, Amanda.”

“You, Leonardo. You, oh please, Leo, please don’t stop.”

“Good girl,” I say. I travel back down to her pussy, and she’s even wetter than before. I begin to feast again and it isn’t long before she’s screaming and coming all over my face, her legs shaking vigorously as she melts into ecstasy. She screams out my name, grabbing me by my hair and pushing me further between her legs.

After she’s satiated, and released her grip on me, I look up at her breathless face and lick my lips. "Oh, baby girl, you taste so sweet."

"Leo," she says breathlessly. "I need your cock inside me."

"As you wish."

I lick and run my hands up her abs to her breasts and vigorously suck her breasts. I settle on her nipples and bite lightly, sending her into another frenzy.
