Leo stood up from the chair.
Shadow was swaying on her feet, her eyes glazed and hazy from the aphrodisiac. She looked like she was about to collapse.
Leo didn't let her fall. He stepped forward and caught her.
He grabbed her by the waist with rough hands and hauled her body against his. Her skin was burning hot to the touch.
"Wrap your legs around me," he ordered.
Shadow shook her head weakly, "No... I can't..."
Leo didn't wait for her to move. He dropped his hands to her thighs. With effortless strength, he hoisted her up into the air.
Shadow gasped as her feet left the ground. Instinctively she wrapped her legs around his waist to keep from falling, locking her ankles behind his back.
She was light, completely different from Belladonna's soft curves. Leo held her easily with one arm under her tight, muscular ass.
He walked her backward until her back hit the rough stone of a thick dungeon pillar.
"Look at me," he commanded.
