Chapter 14 Hannah Back to Now … Leonardo kissed me like he owned me , his tongue pushing past my lips to claim my mouth . I moaned against him , my hands clutching at his shoulders . He pulled back , his breathing ragged . " Say it , Hannah . Say you're my sugar baby , and I'm your daddy . " The words should have sounded ridiculous , but coming from his lips , they sent a thrill through me . " I'm your sugar baby , " I whispered , my face burning . " And ? " His hand slid up my thigh , pushing my dress higher . " You're my … daddy . " The word hung between us , charged with meaning . His eyes flashed with approval . " Good girl , " he murmured , pressing another searing kiss to my lips before pulling away . " I think this calls for a celebration . " Leonardo moved to the bar with the easy grace of a predator . He selected a bottle of champagne , popping the cork with practiced ease . The sound made me jump , too reminiscent of gunshots after what I'd witnessed . " Nervous ? " he asked , pouring the bubbly liquid into two crystal flutes . " Just wondering if all your dates end with dead bodies and champagne . " " Only the special ones ." ปริ He handed me a glass and settled into a leather armchair across from me , his legs spread in a casual display of masculine confidence . He sipped his champagne , watching me over the rim . The silence between us stretched , electric and dangerous . I took a sip of my champagne , the bubbles dancing on my tongue , helping to calm my frayed nerves . " Do you know what I want right now ? " he asked , his silky voice sending shivers down my spine . I shook my head , unable to find my voice . " I want ant you to strip for me . " He said it casually as if asking me to pass t My eyes widened , and I nearly choked on my champagne . " Here ? Now ? " " Yes . ' His eyes never left mine . " I want to see what I'm paying for . " A flash of indignation shot through me . " I'm not just merchandise . " the salt . The not . You're my sugar baby . And I'm your …" His lips curved into that dangerous smile . " No , " , you'r " Daddy , " I whispered , the word making my face burn .. " Good girl . Now stand up and take off your clothes . Make it good . " I set my glass down on the coffee table , my heart pounding so hard I was sure he could hear it . I'd never done anything like this before . But something about his commanding presence made me want to please him , to see approval flash in those dark eyes . I stood on shaky legs , taking a deep breath to steady myself . If I was going to do this , I'd do it right . I thought of all those burlesque performances I'd watched online , fascinated by the confidence of the dancers . " No music ? " I asked , surprising myself with my boldness . 1/3 Chapter 14 Leonardo reached for his phone , and seconds later , a slow , sensual beat filled the room . " Better ? " I nodded , letting the rhythm wash over me . I closed my eyes for a moment , finding the beat with my body . When I opened them again , I locked my gaze with with his and began to move . My hips swayed slowly as I reached behind my back to lower the zipper of Emma's borrowed dress . I turned around , giving him my back as I let the fabric slide down just enough to reveal my bare shoulders . A glance over my shoulder showed me he was watching intently , his champagne forgotten . " Keep going ." he commanded , his voice rougher than before . I let the dress fall lower , exposing the clasp of my bra , and then stopped . Turning to face him again , I held the dress against my chest with one hand while the other traced a path from my neck down between my breasts . " You're a natural tease , " he observed , adjusting his position in the chair . I smiled , feeling a surge of power . Here was this dangerous man , this killer , watching me with undisguised hunger . And I was the one making him shift uncomfortably in his seat . I let the dress fall to my waist , revealing my black lace bra . His eyes darkened as they reamed over my chest , and I felt my nipples harden under his gaze , visible through the delicate fabric . " Nice , " he murmured appreciatively . The dress slipped lower , pooling at my feet . I stepped out of it carefully , now standing before him in just my bra , matching panties , and heels . The cool air of the room raised goosebumps on my skin or maybe it was the way he was looking at me like he wanted to devour me whole , I reached behind my back , unclasping my bra with practiced ease . I held the cups in place for a moment , enjoying the anticipation on his face , then let it fall away . " Fuck , " he breathed , leaning forward in his chair . " Your tits are perfect . " I cupped them in my hands , running my thumbs over my nipples . " You like them ? " Td like them better in my mouth , " he growled , I laughed softly , hooking my thumbs into the waistband of my panties . " Patience , Daddy ." His eyes flashed at the word , and I saw his jaw clench . I turned around again , bending slightly as I slid my panties down my legs , giving him a view that made him curse under his breath . When I faced him again , I was completely naked except for my heels . " Come here , " he ordered , his voice strained . I shook my head , continuing my slow dance . " You said strip . I'm not done yet . " I ran my hands over my body , touching myself the way I imagined he wanted to touch me . One hand slid between my legs , and 1 gasped at how wet I already was . His eyes followed every movement , his breathing visibly heavier . Finally , I stepped out of my heels and stood naked before him , vulnerable yet strangely powerful . " You are fucking exquisite , he said , his accent thicker with desire . " Thank you , Daddy , " I replied , surprised at how natural the word felt now . He stood up , and I thought he would touch me , but instead , he pointed toward a doorway on the far side of the suite . Through there is the bedroom . You'll find an outfit I selected for you in the walk - in closet . His eyes raked over my naked body one more time . " Put it on and come back to me . " I blinked in surprise . " You want me to get dressed ? After all that ? " ' I want you to wear what I chose for you . His tone brooked no argument . " Go , " Naked , I padded across the plush carpet to the bedroom . It was as luxurious as the rest of the suite , dominated by a massive bed with black silk Chapter 14 sheets . The walk - in closet was bigger than my bedroom , lined with designer clothes still bearing tags .
