Guarding His Heart

by J. S. Cooper

  “Me too.” I yawned and he laughed.

  “That’s what I like to hear.” He pulled me into his arms. “Let’s spoon.”

  “Okay.” I smiled and snuggled back into him.

  “Who would have thought we’d end up like this?” He whispered into my ear as his fingers played with my breasts.

  “Not me.” I answered honestly.

  “You gotta admit, you thought I was hot though, that first day we met.”

  “Yeah, before I found out you took my job.” I giggled.

  “I’m sorry about that you know.” He said with a voice full of remorse. “I wish things had gone down differently”

  “It’s fine, it’s not your fault.”

  “But I still took your position.”

  “I’d rather it be you than some other douchebag.”

  “You don’t hate me anymore?”

  “No, I think I can safely say I don’t hate you anymore.” I whispered and closed my eyes. “I don’t think I’d be in bed with you right now if I hated you.”

  “That’s good. I’d hate to have missed having you in my bed.”

  “Even though it only happened because you lost the bid?” I asked softly, still feeling bad about what had happened with Martin Corp.

  “Rob Martin was a douche bag.” Leo growled. “He can keep his stupid company.”

  “You’re sweet.” I murmured. “I guess your sweetness makes up for your taking my job.”

  “I’m glad.” He whispered. “I’m glad to know you’re not the bitch I thought you had the potential of being.”

  “I’m glad I’m not as well.” I laughed and smiled to myself as I felt myself drifting off.

  I woke up to Leo playing with my breasts as his cock rubbed up against me.

  “What are you doing?” I turned around to face him, batting my eyelashes at him.

  “I was trying to wake you up.” He laughed. “I’m ready to go again.”

  “I could feel that.” I giggled and kissed him lightly. “I felt you rubbing up against me.”

  “You’re lucky it wasn’t inside of you.” He sucked on my lower lip. “I wanted to wake you up by fucking you, but didn’t want you to think I was taking advantage.”

  “You could have woken me up that way.” I reached down and grabbed his cock. “That would have been a very nice to wake up.”

  “I guess I know that for next time then.” His fingers trailed down the side of my body. “What do you want to do now?”

  “Hmm. Let me think.” I grinned at him and ran my fingers up and down his cock. He groaned and rolled onto his back. I worked my way down his body until his cock was next to my mouth, “This cowgirl is hungry.” I winked up at him and took his cock into my mouth, sucking on it eagerly. He was so large and hard that I could barely fit him inside of my mouth. I bobbed up and down on him quickly and frowned as he pulled me off.

  “What are you doing?”

  “I’m going to cum.” He groaned and shook his head. “I don’t want to cum in your mouth.”

  “I don’t care if you do.” I smiled down at his face. “You taste good.”

  “I want to taste you.”

  “Next time.” I grinned as moved onto his lap. “This cowgirl wants to go for a ride.”

  “This horse is glad for a rider.” He winked at me and groaned as I sat directly on his cock and started moving back and forth.

  “Hannah, it should be illegal for you to ride.” He groaned.

  “Why?” I laughed as I felt his cock growing beneath me. I could feel my juices seeping onto his cock and skin.

  “Because you’re too damn good at it.” He groaned and closed his eyes. “Don’t stop.” His hands grabbed my hips and moved me back and forth in a more exaggerated move. “Shit, your pussy is so wet.” He muttered as I continued my movement.

  “Shh.” I moaned as I moved back and forth. “I need to feel you inside of me.” I reached over and grabbed another condom packet, opened it quickly and slipped it onto his hard cock quickly before sitting forward slowly and lowering myself into him.

  “Oh shit.” He grunted as I slipped down on his cock. “You feel so good.” His eyes opened and he stared at me as I started moving up and down on him. “Don’t stop moving.” He pulled me down towards him and took one of my nipples in his mouth as I rode him.

  “I won’t.” I groaned not wanting to think about anything other than how wonderful it felt to be connected to him. As I stared down at his handsome face, I knew I was in trouble. I was falling for Leo Maxwell. I liked him. I really liked him. He was a good guy and an even better lover. A part of me felt sad as I realized that this would never be more than sex for him. I didn’t even understand why he wasn’t interested in relationships. And this is why you don’t have sex with men you barely know, a voice inside of me whispered as I felt my climax building up.

  “I’m going to cum.” He groaned and grabbed my hips and gyrated them back and forth on his cock. “Ride me cowgirl.” He grunted and I moved up and down as quickly as I could. “I’m going to cum.” He groaned and I felt his body still underneath me before he started trembling and shuddering as he came. I collapsed down on him and slid off of him as he peeled the second condom off.

  “Did you cum?” He looked at my face with a worried expression and I wasn’t sure if I should lie or not. “You didn’t did you?” He frowned and pulled my body towards him. “We can’t have that. Come here.” He pulled me up. “Straddle my face.” He commanded me.

  “What?” My voice trembled as he looked up at me with eagle eyes.

  “Sit on my face, Hannah.” He grinned. “I need to make sure you come and it’s my turn to eat.”

  “Leo.” I shook my head, but lowered myself slightly onto his face. I screamed out as he pulled me down onto his face. I felt his tongue licking me as soon as my pussy touched his face. He sucked on my clit with muster and I fell forward as feelings of ecstasy took over my body. I’d had a guy go down on me before, but this was different. This was even more magnificent. I felt my pussy lips trembling on his face and Leo started eating me out even more ferociously. I felt his tongue entering me and I exploded on his face as he fucked me with his tongue. I tried to get off of him, but he held me down on his face as he continued licking every last drop of my orgasm. His breath excited me so much that I found myself coming a second time on his face. When I finally collapsed on the bed next to him, he stared at me, while licking his lips.

  “Yummy.” He winked at me and pulled me close to him. “You tasted better than a juicy steak dinner.”

  “Thank you.” I grinned at him and kissed his shoulder. “You tasted like horse manure.” I joked and then groaned. “Sorry, I’m not sure where that came from.” I closed my eyes feeling embarrassed. “It was a bad joke.”

  “Don’t worry, I loved it.” He laughed and kissed my nose. “You’re unique, Hannah. That’s what I like about you.”

  “I’m glad.” I closed my eyes and cuddled into him. “That’s why I like you too.”

  Chapter Nine

  Leo

  All I could keep thinking about was Hannah telling me she liked me as she fell asleep in my arms. Shit! Was she falling for me? Did she think this was some sort of insta-love? I felt her warm body pressed against mine and tried not to feel her up too much. I was already starting to feel hard again, with her breasts pressed up against my chest. I had no idea what had just happened. No idea where she’d gotten that sexy nurse’s outfit from. When she’d walked into my room, I’d been unable to believe my eyes. What had happened to snarky Hannah? She’d turned up looking like a sex bomb, with her titties practically falling out of her dress. Shit! I’d been hard as soon as she’d walked into my room.

  I hadn’t expected us to have sex though, even though I’d wanted it. I hadn’t expected her to be so open and willing. I hadn’t expected her to ride my face like she was massaging my tongue with her pussy lips. I felt a swirl of desire in my gut as I thought about being
inside of her. She’d felt magnificent on my cock and on my tongue. Shit. She was the best sex I’d ever had.

  I frowned to myself at my thoughts. This was not the time for me to start getting sentimental. I was going to be in big trouble. I’d walked out on the Martin Corp deal and now here I was in bed with my assistant. I’d really gone and screwed up. Maybe I could disappear to Florida like Zane’s brother Noah had done a couple of years previously. Though, I knew that wasn’t a real possibility. You couldn’t run away because you fucked your assistant. You couldn’t run away because you started to have feelings for your assistant. You couldn’t run away because you didn’t want to have to deal with any emotions. I sighed and disentangled myself from Hannah’s embrace and got out of the bed. I needed to have a shower and I needed to call Zane. I needed his advice. I needed to know what to do. This was not a position I was equipped to handle.

  I walked to the bathroom and jumped in the shower. The hot water felt great on my body as I stood there, trying not to think about Hannah. Was it going to be awkward when she woke up? I didn’t even know what to say. It’s not like I could say thanks. And I didn’t want to bring up my usual conversation of this was great, but I’m not really looking for anything else. I knew that was false. While I didn’t want a relationship, I did want more than just a working relationship. I wanted to sleep with her again. Shit, I wanted to bend her over my desk in my office and fuck her up against the window. I even wanted to take her in the elevator. We’d have to be quick, so as to not get caught, but that would be part of the excitement. Maybe she’d invite me over to see her apartment. Maybe I could introduce her to Zane and Lucky. I was pretty sure she would get on with Lucky and that would be great.

  “What the fuck are you thinking, Leo?” I groaned to myself as I realized that I was thinking about Hannah as a girlfriend. “She’s not a girlfriend.” I scrubbed my body with the bar of soap. “Some hot sex doesn’t make her a girlfriend. You don’t even want a girlfriend.” I frowned as I shampooed my hair. Maybe it wasn’t just Hannah I had to worry about. Maybe I had to worry about myself as well. Maybe the sex had been so good that it had turned my brain. The last thing I needed was to break my own rules. I didn’t do love. I didn’t do relationships and I sure couldn’t get into a relationship with my assistant.

  I stepped out of the shower, dressed quickly, grabbed my phone and walked down to the hotel lobby.

  “What’s up, bro?” Zane answered on the first ring.

  “Dude, I fucked up.”

  “Oh shit, already?” He didn’t sound surprised. “What happened?”

  “I fucked my assistant.”

  “What?” He sounded surprised now. “You didn’t.”

  “I know, I fucked up.”

  “That’s a major fuckup.”

  “Zane, watch your language.” I heard Lucky in the background. “Ruby-Lane is on your lap.”

  “She can’t understand what I’m saying.” Zane sighed.

  “Zane.” Lucky sounded annoyed.

  “Fine, my bad.” Zane answered. “Never have kids dude.”

  “I don’t plan on it.”

  “Never get married either.”

  “Thanks, honey.” Lucky said dryly.

  “I’m just joking my love.”

  “You won’t be joking when I leave you and take the kids.”

  “Lucky,” He sounded upset. “That’s not funny.”

  “I wasn’t trying to be funny.”

  “Dude, do you need to go?” I asked him, feeling slightly irritated.

  “No.” He sighed. “Sorry continue.”

  “If you can’t talk, it’s fine.”

  “I can talk.” He laughed. “Dude, you sound seriously stressed.”

  “Yeah, that’s because I am.”

  “I’ve never heard you like this before. Are you falling for this girl?”

  “No, of course I’m not falling for her. It was just sex.”

  “Then why are you calling me?”

  “I think she wants more.” I sighed.

  “Oh boy. What did she say?”

  “She said she liked me.” I huffed.

  “What?” He sounded confused. “Did she say she liked you or she loved you?”

  “She said she liked me. She’s not a psycho.”

  “Leo, her telling you she liked you means nothing. Lucky was telling me she loved me after a few days.”

  “No, I wasn’t.” Lucky screeched. “Don’t lie, Zane.”

  “Did you or did you not tell me you loved me pretty early on?”

  “I never told you I loved you. Though I did start thinking it.” She said indignantly.

  “Same thing.”

  “It’s not the same thing.” She sighed. “You also told me that—”

  “Hey Zane.” I said letting my annoyance show. “Is this a conversation between you and Lucky or you and me?”

  “Sorry dude. This is what life is like when you’re married, you never have a free minute.”

  “And that’s exactly why I’m not getting married.” I snapped.

  “I hate to tell you this Leo, but I gotta say that I’m not sure that’s true anymore.” Zane laughed. “I want to meet this assistant.”

  “No dude. It’s not going to happen.”

  “Come on, bring her to the picnic.”

  “Nope.”

  “I’ll invite Noah, Robin, and Skylar as well and we can have a big party.”

  “I’ll come, but Hannah will not be coming with me.”

  “Don’t be a party pooper.”

  “Zane, I think you’ve been married too long.” I sighed. “I gotta go.”

  “Wait.” His tone changed.

  “Yes?” I said, not bothering to hide my exasperation.

  “Don’t write this girl off too quick. Don’t jump to conclusions. Yeah, you fucked up by sleeping with your assistant, but it’s not the end of the world. See what happens, Leo.”

  “I don’t want anything to happen.”

  “College was a long time ago, dude. You need to get over that shit with what’s her name.”

  “What?”

  “That girl that dated you and tried to use you ‘cos your dad had money. I knew she hurt you, but that shit was a long time ago.” He sighed. “Dude, it’s so long ago that I can’t even remember her name.”

  “Great best friend you are.”

  “I’m the best friend you have.”

  “Uh huh.”

  “I’m just telling you to allow other possibilities to exist. Trust me, dude. I know where you stand right now. However, love isn’t that bad. In fact, it’s quite possibly the best thing that can happen in your life. I know my life didn’t really begin until I met Lucky. She made me see the world in colors I never knew existed.”

  “Zane.” I groaned. “Are you trying to make me throw up?”

  “Just don’t rule it out.”

  “I don’t even know what you’re talking about. I just fucked her. This has nothing to do with love.” I said angrily. “I gotta go.” I hung up the phone and walked outside into the street to take some deep breaths of fresh air. What the fuck was I going to do? I stared at the cabs zipping down the street and then I thought about Hannah upstairs in my bed, naked. I wanted to go back upstairs and crawl into bed and lie down next to her. I wanted to hold her in my arms. I was about to go back upstairs when my phone rang.

  “Apology accepted.” I barked into the phone.

  “Leonardo.” It was my father’s deep voice and not Zane on the other end of the line.

  “Oh, hey dad. What’s up?”

  “You tell me. What the fuck is going on? I just heard from Rob Martin and he said you were rude to him and left.”

  “That’s not what happened.” I sighed. “He’s a dick.”

  “I don’t care if he’s a dick. You needed to buy that company.”

  “Dad, he...”

  “Leo, what the fuck is going on? He said you and that assistant of yours have something going on.”r />
  “Dad, he tried to proposition her, he—”

  “Leo, I do not know or care what happened. We need to have a serious conversation when you get back.”

  “Okay, fine.” I muttered, annoyed.

  “I don’t know what you have got going on with that assistant, but it better not be any shit that can get us in trouble.”

  “Dad, I got to go.”

  “I expect to see you in the office first thing.”

  “I’m in New York the rest of today and tomorrow.”

  “You’re not coming back earlier?”

  “The flights and the hotel rooms have already been paid for.”

  “I don’t know what to say right now.”

  “Don’t say anything. I’ll see you on Monday morning.” I hung up and sighed. I should have known that Rob was going to make trouble. Monday was going to be crazy, I already knew it. I might as well enjoy the next two days with Hannah and let the chips fall where-ever they fell. I had a feeling that a lot more drama was coming whether I wanted it or not.

  Chapter Ten

  Hannah

  The rest of the New York trip was magical. Not that I actually got to see much of New York. Leo and I spent all of our time in the hotel room, asides from a trip to Sprinkles to get some cupcakes and coffee. And it was nice to spend that time together. While, I didn’t think we had bared our souls to each other, we had spent a lot of time being intimate and laughing. I was able to forget he was the boss’s son and just enjoy each orgasm he gave me.

  “So what are you planning on doing this weekend?” He asked me casually as our flight made its descent into the airport in Los Angeles.

  “Most probably tidy up all the mess my roommate Lisa made.” I laughed. “And laundry. What about you?” I asked him with a smile, hoping he didn’t think I was asking him to be with me. I wasn’t sure what was going to happen to us now. Was this just a quick fling in New York or was he expecting it to continue in Los Angeles? Of course, I wanted it to continue, but I didn’t want him to think I was too into him. I had a feeling that if he knew I was starting to like him, I’d scare him off.

  “I thought I’d go and see my friend Zane and his wife, but I’m kinda over them right now.” He made a face. “So I’ll likely hit up Santa Monica beach and surf.”
