A moaned gasp tore out of her throat the moment he thrusted inside her, her eyes widened in a pleasure-filled ecstasy as she spread her legs wider for his penetration.
“F*ck” Leo gasped, his mind completely dazed by how tight she was. He could feel her folds clenching around his member, as if trying to milk him dry. He tightened his hands around her neck while she wrapped her legs around him as both went on in their rhythmic bout.

Rachel couldn’t believe how intimate and intense the night had been with Leo. She was wrapped in his arms, feeling his heartbeat against her back, and his breath on her neck. As she traced circles on his chest with her finger, she decided to ask him about his passion for helping orphans. She had felt so guilty and embarrassed he’d seen her in and out, and she felt that way also because she didn’t want to talk about it, and the deafening silence was also becoming too much, so she decided to ask him something in the least, even though it might have turned out awkward.
“Leo,” she said softly, “I have to ask. Why are you so passionate about helping orphans?”
Leo let out a deep sigh before replying, “My father has been dead to me for a long time.” He replied, rather tersely. “He used to hit my mom, and one day, she never woke up. I almost became an orphan several times because of him.”
Rachel gasped, not knowing what to say. She had never imagined that Rebecca, the strong and resilient woman who had raised Leo, had gone through something as terrible as domestic violence.
“It was a tough time,” Leo continued. “But it made my mom the strong woman she was. She fought for us and made sure we were always taken care of.”
Rachel felt a sense of admiration for her mother-in-law, and also for Leo, who had turned his pain into a drive to help others in need.
“Leo,” she said, turning to face him. “I want to do something to help too. That’s why I’m going to enter the competition.”
Leo’s eyes widened with surprise. “Are you sure?”
Rachel nodded. “I’ve been thinking about it, and I realized that I have the skills and the resources to make a difference. And with you by my side, I know we can do great things.”
Leo smiled, and she felt his hand move to caress her face. “I’m proud of you, Rachel. You have a big heart, and I know you’ll make a difference.”
He was barely through when she humped back on him again and began to devour his lips. A few moments later they found themselves going back to another intense lovemaking.

Rachel arrived at work that morning feeling both elated and anxious. Her encounter with Leo the previous night had left her in a state of euphoria. As she walked down the hallways, she couldn’t help but wonder if her colleagues could tell that something had changed between her and Leo.
She decided to spend her free time at the cafeteria, but not without bumping into Leo and William who were in a heavily heated discussion. Leo turned to her the moment he noticed a presence beside him. He grabbed her and made her sit on his laps despite her feeble struggle.
“You look beautiful today,” he said, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear.
Rachel felt her cheeks heat up at his words. “Thank you,” she replied, looking down at her hands in her lap.
Leo tilted her chin up so that their eyes met. “I’m serious,” he said. “I can’t stop thinking about you.”
Rachel’s heart skipped a beat at his words. “Leo, I–”
But he interrupted her with a finger to her lips. “Shh, don’t say anything,” he said, leaning in to kiss her. His lips were warm and soft, and Rachel melted into his embrace.
They were interrupted by a cough, and they pulled apart to see William looking at them with a very hilarious look on his face. “I hate to break up this love fest, but I have work to do,” he said with a grin.
Leo rolled his eyes, but Rachel could see the affection in his gaze as he looked at William. “See you later,” he said, his hand lingering on Rachel’s shoulder.
William teased them, and Leo told him to shut up, his gaze fixed on Rachel. She couldn’t help but feel a sense of longing and desire as she looked into his piercing blue eyes. They made a plan to meet at his place after work, and Rachel’s heart raced with anticipation.
As she waited for Leo to pick her up after work, she noticed two of Leo’s security personnel entering his office with a serious look on their faces. She couldn’t help but ask Leo what was going on, and he hesitated for a moment before revealing the truth.
“Roseline broke out of prison,” he said gravely. “We’re trying to find her before she causes any trouble.”
“What?” She asked, her eyes widening in disbelief.
Leo gave her a reassuring smile. “I’ll be fine. I have my security team working on it, and they’re the best in the business.”
Rachel took a deep breath and tried to calm her nerves. She knew that Leo was well-equipped to handle any threat that came his way, but the thought of Roseline being on the loose still made her feel uneasy.
As they left the cafeteria and made their way to the parking lot, Rachel was excited and her senses mingled with trepidation. She was looking forward to spending the evening with Leo, but the knowledge of Roseline’s escape hung over them like a dark cloud considering how dangerous, sly and full of cunning that she was.
Leo noticed her apprehension and squeezed her hand reassuringly. “Don’t worry, Rachel. I promise you, nothing will happen to us.”
