Leo's POV
I had a hard time not laughing at Lilly's prudish ways as she just about jumped out of her skin when someone called her from downstairs. She asked me to go deal with it for her and I got to see her face turn red as I adjusted the tent in my jeans to not be quite so obvious. I grabbed her towel and handed it to her before leaving the bathroom and making my way down stairs, I looked around but didnt see anyone in the living room I walked into the kitchen to see a girl around Lilly's age. The second she saw me she jumped back and screamed: Who are you? What did you do with Lilly. She grabbed a knife out of the knife block and started walking towards me slowly while jabbing the knife at the air towards me yelling: Get Back! I raised my hands to try and calm her while telling her I was Lilly's boyfriend but she yelled that she didn't believe me. I tried to get closer so I could disarm her but to my surprise she swung her arm quickly and sliced the palm of my hand. The second she saw the blood she screamed and threw the knife up in the air and ran around the corner just to run into Lilly.
Lilly held onto the railing catching herself from falling while the young girl fell backwards and I managed to catch the top half of her body before she fell completely. She jumped out of my arms rolling across the floor away from me. Lilly ran over to her while yelling: Fuck, Sam are you okay? Sam jumped up and looked back and forth between Lilly before her eyes widened and a grin came across her whole face before saying: YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND??? Her face turned into a frown when she added: What the hell Lilly! I could have killed him. She Gasped before adding again: Oh god I cut him.
Lilly turned towards me to see a now puddle forming on the grown below my hand, she gasped in fear and ran to me, taking my hand in hers and tears forming in her eyes: Oh Leo, we need to get you to the hospital. I clinched my fist and looked at her sternly and just shook my head. She instantly knew what I was saying so she pulled me to the light and looked again: Oh its not so bad, let me get the first aid kit and I'll clean and bandage it.
Sitting on the couch watching her carefully pull out her supplies and prepare my hand as she sat on the coffee table in front of me, I watched in amusement as her tongue stuck ever so slightly out of the corner of her mouth as if it would help her do a better job. She poured something that felt like acid on my hand and I winced pulling my hand away slightly, she slapped my knee and told me to sit still making me laugh. As she bandaged my hand I could see the tear that welled earlier finally making its way down her cheek as she finished up she looked at me and I couldn't help but smile. I wiped the tear off of her cheek and caressed her face telling her thank you. She smiled back staring into my eyes but our moment was interrupted when Sam came in the room setting her phone on the table and sitting on the couch opposite of me she sighed and said: Okay so first off I called Mike and he is on his way over with drink I'm sorry Leo for maiming you, and secondly Lilly, I wouldn't have maimed your boyfriend if I had known you had a boyfriend.
I looked at her quizzically and said: I mean, most people don't just assume someone is an intruder unless its their own house and they don't recognize them. Sam gave me an annoyed look and said: Why would I not think you're an intruder, Lilly's never had a boyfriend. She instantly covered her mouth in complete mortification and I turned to Lilly who face was now as red as a beet as her eyes fell to the floor in embarrassment Mate! "Yeah, she was waiting for us" I could feel my wolf getting excited at the thought of being her first but he stayed seeing her frantic face and wanting to comfort our mate. I touched her chin tilting her head up to look at me and I leaned in placing a gentle reassuring kiss on her lips, her lips turned up into a smile against my kiss and I looked up to see Sam relieved her friend wasn't angry. I decided to change the subject to make Sam more comfortable: I have to say Sam, you're a scrapper.
She pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed before apologizing yet again: Leo again I am so s… I interrupted her waving my hand and saying: Sam, do not, EVER, apologize for defending yourself, the truth is if you suspect an intruder here you do exactly what you did, chances of it being another boyfriend is zero. Sam raised her brows at Lilly who just pursed her lips into a smile.
The door flew open as a man ran inside and I instinctively stood pulling Lilly behind me. She laughed as she pulled me towards her: Leo that's Mike my friend and Sam's boyfriend? She looked at Sam with a questioning look and Sam nodded to her in agreement. Mikes eyes went wide as he looked me up and down before a smile came across his face and he extended his hand to greet me: It is so good to meet you Leo. As he looked over as Lilly unable to wipe the smile from him face as he continued: Well I had to come meet your boyfriend first so I need to go get some booze, want to come? He looked at me and I shook my head before looking to Lilly, I could see she needed to visit with Sam alone so I agreed to go with her. I leaned over kissing her forehead as she closed her eyes in contentment. I stood up taking once last look at her before following Mike out of the house.
Lilly's POV
The boys walked out to go to the store which Sam used as an opportunity to start a full inquisition: OH, MY, GOODNESS! He is absolutely gorgeous Lilly, like Greek God hot hot hot. Where the fuck did you find him and why didn't you tell me.
My whole face scrunched at the thought of telling her so I chose to just rip the band aid off: Okay, dont freak out but he is the CEO of Sinclair Corp. She absolutely freaked out and yelled: WHAT!!! I covered her mouth looking towards the door and back at her.
"It is a long story that I don't want to go into yet but I will tell you I am now working for Sinclair Corp but no one will know who I am to him so there isn't favoritism and I can work my way up by my own hand." She looked at me smiling at a loss for words for just a moment before she shot her next question at me: So how did you meet?
"At a bistro near work, I was eating and he came in and started talking to him. I ended up telling him his brother was an ass and walking out" We both laughed and I told her a few things here and there leaving out some details that could put a negative light on the situation knowing there was no real way to explain it where it made sense to her. My smile faded and I looked at her before saying: Sam I am in love with him. Sam's eyes widened and her lips parted, she was speechless for the first time since I had known her.
