Leo's Pet - Rescue for Hire 4 http://www.bookstrand.com/leos-pet
Leo noticed the brown-haired man
standing next to his table. He must have followed the scary dude over, so that
meant he was probably one of his cousin’s teammates.
“Would you like to sit down?” he asked.
The guy looked startled for a minute, then nodded and sat down at the table
across from him.
“Hello, I’m Leo DeLuca.” Leo reached his
hand across the table to shake the smaller man’s hand.
“Alex Taylor.” Alex briefly shook Leo’s
hand. From the look on Alex’s face, he must have felt the same zing of
awareness that had zipped up Leo’s arm. “I haven’t met all of my cousin’s
teammates yet. Who was the scary dude?” Leo asked, trying to put Alex at ease.
Alex frowned. Wouldn’t you know exotic
Treb, with his small, lean stature and long black hair, would catch the man’s attention?
Even one on one he didn’t stand a chance. It kind of pissed him off. “That’s
Treb. But he’s taken. And even if he wasn’t taken he thinks you’re an asshole.”
Leo’s eyebrows rose at his bluntness. Instead
of looking angry, a curious expression passed over his face. “Are you angry
with me, Alex?” he asked.
Alex put off answering by taking a few
swallows of his beer as Leo continued to patiently wait for an answer from him.
It wasn’t in Alex’s nature to be nasty. He didn’t even get angry much. But he
had wanted the man to see him. Except now that he had Leo’s undivided attention
he didn’t know what to do with it.
“Alex, I am waiting for an answer.” Leo’s
voice had an edge in it that had Alex’s submissive tendencies standing up and
surrendering. “I um, I just didn’t want you to think you had a chance with
Treb.” Alex was completely off balance by now. He found he couldn’t even raise
his eyes to meet the other man’s. If he wasn’t careful, he would embarrass them
both by kneeling at the man’s feet and calling him Sir.
Leo sat back and enjoyed the picture in
front of him. With Alex’s head lowered, Leo could only see the top of his shiny
brown hair. But he remembered pretty light brown eyes with green flecks and
smooth skin, with a few freckles dancing across his nose. He knew most wouldn’t
notice all that but to Leo, this man’s looks were everything he was attracted
to. He also saw the wide width of Alex’s shoulders under the baggy flannel
shirt and he suspected once he removed it there would be at least a six-pack as
his prize to explore.
Alex was starting to fidget at the
lingering silence. So Leo decided to put him out of his misery. “Alex, I’m not
interested in Treb. I was just trying to put names to the faces of Tony’s
teammates.” Leo saw the tension immediately flow out of his shoulders as Alex
heard his words. He was just going to ask the man if he was free the next day when
Alex’s phone rang.
“Yes, boss?” Alex answered after
checking the screen.
“Alex, get your gear. We have two
missing children that were last seen near a sinkhole that just opened up. The authorities
aren’t even sure if both are in the sinkhole. We should probably take Bud just
in case. Be here at the house in fifteen.”
Alex ended the call and looked up into
Leo’s deep brown eyes. He couldn’t stop himself from admiring that thick wavy
black hair with a few gray hairs decorating his temples. Pulling himself away
from the growing attraction he was feeling, he said, “It was nice to meet you.
Sorry I was rude. The team has been called on a mission and I have to go.”
“When you have finished that mission, I
want you to call me and let me know you’re safe,” Leo instructed and held out
his hand for Alex’s phone.
Alex watched his hand automatically
giving Leo the phone. With a few presses of the buttons, Leo handed the phone
back. Then the bigger man stood up and went around the table and waited for
Alex to leave his chair. When Alex stood up, their height difference was less
than he would have thought. Leo had such a presence about him, Alex had assumed
he was as tall as the boss at six five. But the man only stood about three
inches taller than his own six feet. Leo laid his hand on Alex’s lower back and,
with a slight pressure, had him walking before him to the front doors. As Alex
walked out of the hotel with Leo, he decided the man with his huge commanding
presence could be five feet tall and would still be able to order everyone
around him.
Once they were outside, Leo asked, “Which
truck is yours?”
“How did you know I drove a truck?”
“With your job, a truck makes sense.”
“Just over there.” Alex nodded toward
the end of the row of vehicles parked next to the building.
Alex headed toward his truck, Leo’s hand
never leaving his lower back, making that spot tingle. Once he reached the driver’s
door, he hit the open button on his truck key, lights flashed, and the door
unlocked. Bravely he turned toward the other man, valiantly trying to come up
with some sort of good-bye. Unfortunately he wasn’t exactly sure what he was
going to say.
Suddenly the back of his neck was cupped
in a firm hand, and he was pulled into a strong embrace. Warm lips encased his
and a tongue invaded his mouth, not asking permission but demanding entrance.
Alex melted. This was what he craved. As his tongue was sucked into the other
man’s mouth, he felt pre-cum wet the inside of his boxer briefs.
Then the tongue withdrew, and the lips left
his. Opening his eyes, he looked into deep brown eyes that held dominance and
passion.
“Tell me you will call me once the
mission is over to let me know you’re safe,” Leo ordered.
I’ll call you,” Alex managed to croak out.
“When you get back, we’ll talk,” Leo
stated. Alex noticed that Leo’s words hadn’t formed a question, but made a
statement. And again his submissive tendencies, as well as his cock responded. “Okay,”
Alex answered.
Then Leo opened Alex’s door and he climbed
into the truck. Before he could close the door, Leo stepped up to his side and
pulled his head down for a quick kiss. Releasing him, Leo stepped away and shut
his door. Alex met Leo’s eyes through the glass and knew, for the first time in
his life, someone really saw him.
