Scarlett's POV
By the time we got back to the mansion, it was already night.
The heavy conversation from the kitchen hung between us, but the possessive warmth in Leonard's eyes hadn't faded. He walked me up the grand staircase and right to my bedroom door, but instead of leaving, he leaned his massive frame against the doorframe.
"Come sleep with me tonight."
My cheeks flared hot. "I... I will," I stammered, twisting the hem of his oversized white shirt, which I was still wearing. "Let me just freshen up and change first, then I'll come over to your room."
Leonard stared at me for a long beat, his brown eyes tracking the blush on my face. A small, satisfied smirk tugged at his lips. He leaned down, capturing my lips in a deep, bruising kiss that completely stole my breath and left my core aching all over again. My inner wolf purred loudly, leaning into his touch.
He pulled away slowly, his hot breath fanning over my lips. "Don't keep me waiting, love."
