for you , got it?”
His palpable anger is rolling off of him in waves and the black stare he has placed on me is scaring me into entertaining the thought of dropping to my knees and begging for my life.
Backing up from him, ‘Roman’s dick is not hard for me. He doesn’t see me that way,” trying to act completely taken back by his statement, although I had made the same assessment of Roman myself.
“Wake up Avery, every man sees you that way, I just got here first.” He has successfully backed me against the wall separating the kitchen from the dining area, ‘are we going for dinner or did your little errand boy bring you something?” He has me pinned with his body and his eyes. The heat his body is exuding is scorching me and my rational thinking process.
“ He did but I didn’t eat it, so I will go get ready.” Turning for my room I glance back and see what Leo is wearing. Much to my pleasure it is not his typical biker wear. He is hot in a dark blue button up shirt leaving the top two buttons loose letting some of his tattoos peek out of the collar. The sleeves are rolled up exposing his arms and the black slacks have a neatly pressed crease in them and are hugging his muscular legs. His hair is fixed messy like someone had just run their hands through it giving it a good tousle.
“ Casual dressy?” Is all I can manage to mutter at the sight of the dark god.
“Yes.” Is all he replies as he replaces his mirrored aviators back on his face. HOT.
I turn as I walk off, ‘there is no need for you to be jealous of Roman, Leo.”
“We will talk about it later, now go get ready I have us some reservations,” reservation, such a great word to sum up the day or better yet the whole weekend.

Leo
I stand for several minutes holding my phone wondering how thick the walls in this place are, because I don’t want Avery to hear the cussing I am about to give Roman. We need to get this boundary thing cleared up before we end up beating the shit out of each other. Pressing send, it only takes him a few seconds to answer.
“ Hey man,’ the faint sound of the blues plays in the back ground of his truck, ‘what can I do for ya now?” His tone is arrogant and I get it, I really do, he is pissed at me. If I would have lost my chance with Avery, I would be pissed too.
“ You need to get over whatever it is you have for Avery because she is with me now, so you need to quit using her as jerk off material.” I know the statement is a little crude but I needed to get my point across.
“What makes you think she has made her choice?” He is blind to the fact she has , he is just unable to accept it.
Puffing up my chest even though he is unable to see it, ‘fucker I know cause she is in her room right now getting ready for a date with me, did you hear that, me.” I victoriously point my finger into my chest.
Silence hits us both, and then the reality does too, ‘are we seriously fighting over a woman, man?” He sounds dejected at the realization, ‘let's just say round one goes to you.”
Smugness abounds, ‘if we are counting this would be round two brother.” I hear a rustle down the hall and know Avery is coming from her room, ‘oh you need to call Cowboy, some shit went down after you bailed this morning. He will fill you in on the details.” I finish the call not having resolved anything but goading him into a small game of healthy competition over Avery. Turning to watch as she walks from the hall and into the living room she takes my breath, she is gorgeous.

Avery
Thirty minutes later I stroll out of my room wearing a little black dress and strappy heels. I have thrown my hair up in an elegant ponytail and join Leo in the living room where he has just finished talking on the phone.
He flips his phone closed and closes the distance between us leaning in to give me a gentle kiss on the lips, ‘nice babe.”
“What this old thing?” I act coy at his compliment, knowing good and
