Free Anything For You by Kaydence Macy Page A

shock when he ripped both the brochure and form in half. He ripped them in half again, just for good measure. Not taking his eyes from hers, he slowly walked around the end of the counter and pushed through the waist-high swinging door to stand in front of her.
    Leslie finally found her voice. “I don’t know what the hell you think you’re doing, but I want you out of here. Now.”
    Alex took the last step forward and in one swift move jerked her to him, bent down, and covered her mouth with his. He felt her arm come up and he wasn ’t sure if she meant to pull him closer or clock him. Rather than take any chances, he let the torn papers in his hand fall to the floor, then used both hands to grab her arms, wrapping them around her back so that she couldn’t move. Not once did he stop or even let up the assault on her mouth. Her gasp of surprise allowed him the entrance he wanted, and his tongue plunged forward to tangle with hers. With each sweep of his tongue he felt her relax just a little more, until finally she was leaning into him, her breasts smashed to his chest, his hard cock pressing into her belly. Only when she groaned and pushed him back against the counter did he break the connection and lean back, both of them breathing hard. He still kept his hold on her arms – she didn’t seem to mind and he found he rather liked it. He slid down the counter several inches so that he was closer to her level. The movement brought her farther into his crotch, and he pulled her closer so she could feel the bulge there.
    Pink tinted her cheeks at the erection pressing into her, but more than that, Leslie hadn’t wanted him to know what she’d been planning. He must think she was an idiot. The heat in her cheeks spread, and with her arms held behind her back she could do nothing but stand there, head down, staring at the soft blue material of the tshirt stretched across his chest.
    “ Leslie.”
    She shook her head. “Let me go. Please.”
    She needed to get away from him before she embarrassed herself further. Moisture gathered behind her eyes and she didn ’t want to cry in front of him. If he would just let her go, she could go hide in the bathroom until Angie got there.
    Shit! Angie was due any minute. No way was Leslie going to be caught wrapped in Alex ’s arms when she walked in. Struggling to get free, he only held tighter.
    “ Leslie, look at me.”
    “ Dammit Alex. Let me go. Angie will be here any second and…”
    “ Stop.”
    It wasn ’t a question, and Leslie found herself snapping her mouth shut in response. She met his eyes then, but instead of seeing humor, or worse, pity, she found only curiosity, and all-consuming desire. Heat swept through her, and her panties dampened further.
    Damn. She really needed to control that.
    His low voice broke into her thoughts. “What do you want?”
    Leslie sighed and let her head drop forward onto his forehead. She may as wel l get it over with. He’d already seen the papers, so she couldn’t lie. Which also begged the question – why was he even asking? He should be running, right? Isn’t that what men did when they knew a woman wanted a baby?
    “A baby.”
    The words were so soft he almost didn’t hear her.
    “ Why AI?” He slowly released her hands and brought them around to the front of her, but kept her pulled up against him. Her body felt too good pressed against his. After so long imagining it, he was reluctant to let her go anytime soon. And he didn’t give a damn that Angie would be coming in the door soon. In fact, he’d prefer that. He’d prefer everyone know Leslie was his. Or would be his. Soon.
    “ Alex. Really, I need to get back to work. Angie, or a customer, could walk in.” At the feel of his finger pushing a curl behind her ear, she met his gaze again. “Please. I don’t want to talk about this here.”
    To her surprise, and relief, he nodded. Unfortunately she quickly realized the hole she ’d dug for herself when he
