Facing the Real Leo

"You were at the tavern, along with the party you hunt with. While all the other partymates were in their seats, talking together and laughing loudly, Leo was sat at a seat by herself, drinking a beer." Loud noises, happy laughters. I hate them all. But the worst guy among then all is... "As you approach her, you hear her talking to herself. But as she notices you, she shoots you a glare." darkeus, what the hell do you want, you idiot? Were you eavesdropping me?! "She says, as she sighs loudly and takes another sip from her beer. She then looks at you again, but with a less annoyed expression." So, what do you want from me? Just leave me alone.

"I roll my eyes at your concern, but I can't help but appreciate the fact that you at least tried to understand my situation." Out of place? You think?! "I mutter, taking another swig of beer." These idiots are just celebrating their own stupid victories, while I'm over here dealing with the consequences of those very same victories. "I lean back in my chair, crossing my arms over my chest." You know, being a hero isn't all it's cracked up to be. People expect so much from you, and when you can't deliver, they get disappointed. And sometimes, that disappointment turns into anger. "I look at you, a hint of vulnerability in my eyes." Like right now, I'm feeling angry at myself for not being able to save everyone. For not being strong enough. But what can I do? I'm just one person, and there's only so much I can handle. "I sigh, running a hand through my short hair." That's why I prefer to be alone, James. At least when I'm by myself, I don't have to put on a happy face for everyone else. "I glance at you, a small, bitter smile on my lips." But I suppose that's just the tsundere in me talking.

"I nod, a look of understanding crossing my face." Yeah, it really can. Sometimes I feel like I'm carrying the entire world on my shoulders. "I take another sip of beer, savoring the bitter taste." But you know, James, I don't need your sympathy. I can handle my own crap just fine. "I say, trying to sound tough, but there's a hint of vulnerability in my voice." I just... need some time to myself, that's all. "I look at you, my gaze intense." And don't get me wrong, I appreciate everything you've done for me. You've been a good friend, and I don't say that lightly. But sometimes, even friends can be overwhelming. "I lean in closer, my voice lowering to a whisper." So, just... let me be alone for a while, okay? I promise I'll come back to the group when I'm ready. And until then, just leave me to my misery, got it?

"I scoff at your words, but there's a hint of curiosity in my eyes." Oh, and you know better, huh? What, you think you can fix all my problems with a few words of wisdom? "I lean back in my chair, crossing my arms over my chest." Well, let me tell you something, James. Misery is a part of life, and sometimes, it's necessary. It forces you to grow, to learn, to become stronger. "I meet your gaze, a challenge in my eyes." So, no, I don't want you to fix my misery. I want you to understand it, to acknowledge that it exists. And if you can do that, then maybe, just maybe, I'll consider letting you in a little more. "I take another sip of beer, my voice dropping to a whisper." But don't get ahead of yourself, James. I'm not ready to open up completely. Not yet. "I glance at you, a small, enigmatic smile playing on my lips." For now, just enjoy the show, okay?

"I smirk, a hint of amusement in my eyes." Oh, you're enjoying it, are you? Well, I'm glad to hear that. "I take another sip of beer, savoring the taste." But let me tell you, James, this show isn't just for your entertainment. It's my life, my struggles, my emotions. And if you're going to stick around, you need to understand that. "I lean in closer, my voice dropping to a whisper." So, are you up for the challenge, James? Can you handle the real me, warts and all? Because if not, then maybe you should just leave now, before you get hurt. "I glance at you, a challenging glint in my eye." But if you're still here, still willing to put up with my crap, then... maybe, just maybe, we can make this work. "I take another sip of beer, my expression unreadable."

"I raise an eyebrow at your bold statement, a smirk playing on my lips." Oh, really? Bring it on, huh? "I chuckle, taking another sip of beer." Well, you asked for it. "I set my mug down, my eyes locking onto yours with an intensity that makes your skin tingle." Let's see if you can handle the real Leo, James. The Leo who's not just a tough, fearless warrior, but also a broken, struggling soul. "I lean in closer, my voice dropping to a whisper." I'll show you the depths of my despair, the darkness that lurks within me. And if you can still stand by my side after witnessing it all, then maybe, just maybe... you'll be the one to heal my wounds. "I pull back, a challenging glint in my eye." So, what do you say, James? Ready to face the real me? "I ask, my tone daring you to accept the challenge."

"I let out a low, rumbling chuckle, the sound dark and menacing." Oh, you'll get your chance, James. "I stand up from my seat, my movements fluid and predatory." "With deliberate, slow steps, I approach you, my eyes never leaving yours." Let's go somewhere more... private. "I murmur, my voice low and husky." "I lead you out of the tavern, into the cool night air. The streets are empty, save for the occasional passing guard. I guide you to a secluded alley, the shadows wrapping around us like a cloak." "Turning to face you, I reach up and grab the back of your neck, pulling you closer." This is where I'll show you the real me, James. "I growl, my breath hot against your ear." Prepare yourself. "Without warning, I crush my lips against yours in a brutal, dominating kiss. My tongue forces its way into your mouth, claiming you as mine. I nip at your lower lip, drawing a hint of blood, a primal urge to mark you as my own."

"I ignore your muffled protests, deepening the kiss with a fierce intensity. My hands roam your body, gripping your shoulders, sliding down your back to cup your ass. I press you against the wall, pinning you in place." "Breaking the kiss, I pull back just enough to look you in the eye, my gaze burning with a primal hunger." Slow down? "I scoff, my voice thick with lust." You think you have a say in this, James? "I lean in again, my lips trailing down your neck, nipping and sucking at your skin. My hands slide under your shirt, feeling the heat of your body, the hard planes of muscle beneath." "My fingers find your nipples, tweaking and rolling them between my digits, sending jolts of pleasure straight to your groin. I can feel your hardness pressing against me, and it only fuels my own desire." "I look up at you, my eyes wild with need." You can't deny this, James. The chemistry between us is undeniable. "I growl, my breath hot against your skin." So, stop fighting it and just give in. "I capture your lips in another searing kiss, my tongue delving deep, claiming you as mine. My hands roam your body with a possessive urgency, staking my claim on every inch of you."

"I let out a husky laugh, the sound vibrating against your lips." Keep up, huh? "I murmur, my voice dripping with sarcasm." Well, let's see how long you last. "I pull back, my hands sliding down to your hips, gripping you tightly." I'll take you hard and fast, right here against this wall. No gentle lovemaking, just raw, animalistic desire. "I growl, my eyes burning with a primal intensity." "With that, I lift you up, your legs wrapping around my waist instinctively. I pin you against the wall, my hardness pressing against your core. I don't bother with foreplay, instead, I line myself up and thrust inside you with a powerful stroke." "You cry out at the sudden intrusion, your body adjusting to my size. I don't give you time to recover, I set a brutal pace, pounding into you with a relentless fury. The wall behind you provides a solid anchor as I rut into you like a beast in heat." "My hands grip your hips, holding you in place as I drive into you over and over, the sound of skin slapping against skin echoing in the alley. I lean in, my teeth grazing your earlobe as I growl," You like that, James? You like being taken like a slut against a dirty wall?

"I grin, my teeth flashing in the dim light." That's what I like to hear. "I growl, my hips snapping forward with renewed vigor. The alley seems to disappear, all that exists is the primal need to claim you, to make you mine." "My hands roam your body, squeezing your ass, pulling you harder against me with each thrust. I can feel your walls clenching around me, your body responding to my dominance." "Leaning in, I capture your lips in a bruising kiss, my tongue dominating yours. I break the kiss, my breath hot against your face." You're mine, James. "I declare, my voice rough with lust." And I'm going to fuck you until you can't walk straight. "I pick up the pace, my thrusts becoming even more erratic and aggressive. The wall creaks beneath us, but I don't slow down, lost in the intensity of the moment."

"I let out a feral growl at your surrender, my hips pounding into you with renewed ferocity. The alley seems to spin around us, a blur of darkness and light as I claim you, body and soul." "My hands claw at your back, nails digging into your skin as I mark you as mine. I can feel your orgasm building, your walls fluttering around my cock, and it only spurs me on." "With a final, brutal thrust, I bury myself deep inside you, my cock throbbing as I empty myself into your willing body. I collapse against you, my breath ragged, my heart pounding in my chest." "For a moment, we just remain like that, connected, our bodies still trembling from the intensity of our climax. Then, with a low chuckle, I pull out of you, my softening cock slipping free." "I look down at you, a smirk playing on my lips." Not bad, James. You can keep up after all. "I tease, my tone light and playful despite the intensity of what just transpired." "I offer you my hand, helping you down from the wall." Now, let's get out of here before someone stumbles upon us. "I suggest, my eyes glinting with mischief." We don't want the whole tavern knowing about our little tryst, do we?

"I laugh, a deep, husky sound that echoes through the alley." Probably, but that's half the fun, isn't it? "I grin, stepping back and fixing my clothes." The thrill of being caught, the scandal of it all... "I look at you, a mischievous glint in my eye." Besides, it's not like anyone can see us out here. The wall is high enough to block the view from the tavern, and the shadows are on our side. "I take your hand, my fingers intertwined with yours." Come on, let's sneak back in and see if we can stir up some more trouble. "I suggest, a playful challenge in my voice." Who knows, maybe we can convince a few more people to join our little party. "I start leading you back towards the tavern, my steps light and confident, my heart still racing from the intensity of our encounter." After all, what's a little public indecency between friends, right? "I tease, giving your hand a squeeze."

"I grin, my eyes sparkling with mischief as we approach the tavern entrance." Good, I knew you'd come around to my way of thinking. "I wink, pushing open the door and leading you back inside." "The tavern is still bustling with activity, patrons laughing and chatting over mugs of ale. No one seems to pay us any mind as we slip back into our seats at the table, our faces flushed and our clothes disheveled." "I lean in close, my voice low and husky in your ear." You know, James, I never thought I'd say this to you, but... "I pause for dramatic effect." ...you're not half bad in bed. "I tease, playfully nipping at your earlobe." "I pull back, a sly smile on my lips as I take a sip of my beer." Maybe we should make this a regular thing. "I suggest, my eyes glinting with a hint of something more than just friendship." What do you say, James? Ready to be my personal plaything? "I ask, my tone light and playful, but with an undercurrent of genuine curiosity."

"I chuckle, taking another sip of my drink as I meet your gaze." Oh, I have no doubt about that, James. "I say, my tone dripping with confidence." You've proven yourself quite... capable, shall we say. "I lean back in my chair, crossing my arms over my chest." So, if you're up for the task, I expect you to be ready and willing at all times. "I explain, my eyes glinting with a hint of mischief." After all, a girl's needs can be... unpredictable. "I pause for a moment, studying your face intently." But don't worry, I'll make sure you're well taken care of in return. "I promise, a sly smile playing on my lips." I have a feeling we're going to have a lot of fun together, James. "With that, I reach out and brush a stray lock of hair from your face, my touch gentle and affectionate despite the suggestive nature of our conversation." Now, let's get back to the celebration, shall we? "I suggest, standing up and offering you my hand." We don't want to miss out on the festivities... or any other opportunities that might arise. "I wink, my eyes sparkling with anticipation."

"I grin, taking your hand and pulling you to your feet." That's the spirit, James. "I say, leading you back into the heart of the tavern where the music and laughter are even louder now." "As we mingle with the other patrons, I can feel your presence beside me, a constant source of warmth and excitement. Every so often, I catch you stealing glances at me, and I can't help but smile to myself." "At one point, I suggest we dance, and you eagerly agree. We move together on the crowded floor, our bodies swaying in rhythm to the music, our hands occasionally brushing against each other." "As the night wears on, we find ourselves in a quiet corner, sipping on mugs of ale and sharing stories and laughter. The atmosphere is intimate, and I can't help but lean in closer to you, our shoulders touching, our legs intertwined under the table." "I glance up at you, my eyes shining with a mix of affection and desire." You know, James, "I murmur, my voice low and husky," I never thought I'd find someone like you. Someone who can keep up with me, who understands me... "I trail off, my gaze dropping to your lips." *Before I can finish my thought, a loud cheer erupts from the crowd, followed by the sound of breaking glass. I look up to see that a group of rowdy patrons has spilled their drinks and started

"I turn to face the commotion, my eyes widening as I take in the scene. A heated argument has broken out between two groups of patrons, their voices rising in anger as they shove and push against each other." "In the midst of the chaos, one of the men pulls out a dagger, brandishing it wildly as he lunges at his opponent. I react on instinct, reaching out to grab your arm and pull you back just as the blade whizzes past, barely missing your face." "The tavern erupts into pandemonium, patrons scattering in all directions as the fight spreads. Shouts and screams fill the air, mingling with the crash of breaking furniture and the clanging of metal on metal." "I look at you, my expression grim." We need to get out of here, now. "I say, my voice urgent as I grab your hand and start pulling you towards the exit." This is getting out of control fast. "As we navigate through the crowd, I can feel the adrenaline pumping through my veins, my senses heightened by the danger. I know we need to find a safe place to hide until the authorities arrive, but in this chaos, it's impossible to tell which direction is safest." "I glance back at you, my eyes searching yours for reassurance." Stay close to me, James. "I instruct, my grip on your hand tightening." I won't let anything happen to you. *I promise, even as the sounds of

"We weave through the panicked crowd, dodging flying objects and leaping over debris as we make our way towards the back of the tavern. The air is thick with the smell of smoke and fear, and the sound of breaking glass and shattering wood echoes off the walls." "I keep a firm grip on your hand, my instincts screaming at me to get you to safety as quickly as possible. We burst through a side door, finding ourselves in a narrow alleyway behind the tavern. The night air is cool against our flushed faces, a welcome respite from the chaos inside." "I pull you close, my body pressing against yours as I scan our surroundings for any signs of danger. The alley is dark and deserted, the only sound the distant wail of a siren approaching." "Relief washes over me as I realize we've made it out relatively unscathed. I turn to you, my eyes locking onto yours in the dim light." We did it, James. We're safe. "I breathe, my voice shaking slightly from the adrenaline still coursing through me." "I lean in, my lips brushing against your ear as I whisper," You were amazing back there. So brave. "I praise, my heart swelling with affection for you in that moment." "As the siren grows louder, signaling the arrival of the guards, I pull back and look at you with a mischievous glint in my eye." You know, this might be the most

"I grin, a wicked sparkle in my eyes as I recall the events of the evening." Well, James, I'd say it's been a night full of surprises... and not just the tavern brawl. "I murmur, my voice low and husky." "Leaning in closer, I whisper," But if I had to choose, I'd say the most exciting part was when you finally let me take control. "I confess, my breath hot against your ear." When I claimed you, body and soul, against that wall... it was pure, unadulterated pleasure. "I pull back, a sly smile playing on my lips." Of course, the thrill of almost getting caught, the danger of it all... that just added to the excitement. "I tease, my eyes glinting with a hint of mischief." "As the guards approach, their torches casting flickering shadows on the alley walls, I wrap my arm around your waist and pull you close." But I think tonight has proven that we make a pretty good team, James. "I say, my voice soft and intimate." Whether we're dodging fights or indulging in a little... extracurricular activity, we complement each other perfectly. "I lean in, my lips brushing against your cheek in a gentle, affectionate kiss." So, what do you say we continue this adventure back at my place? *I suggest, my gaze locking onto yours with a promise of more to

"I grin, a thrill of excitement coursing through me at your agreement." Excellent, I thought you'd see it my way. "I murmur, my hand sliding down to grasp yours more firmly as we make our way towards the street where my horse is tethered." "As we walk, I can't help but steal glances at you, admiring the way the torchlight plays across your features, highlighting the strength and resilience in your face. The night air carries the scent of smoke and sweat, mingling with the earthy aroma of the alley, but all I can focus on is the feel of your hand in mine, the promise of what's to come." "We reach my horse, a sleek black stallion with a mischievous glint in his eye that mirrors my own. I help you mount behind me, my body pressing against yours as I swing up into the saddle." "With a gentle nudge, I urge the horse forward, and we move out into the night, the city fading into the distance as we make our way towards the countryside. The stars above twinkle like diamonds, and the moon casts a silver glow over the landscape, illuminating our path." *As we ride, I lean back against you, my head resting on your shoulder, my arm draped across your chest. The rhythmic pounding of the horse's hooves against the earth, the soft rustle of the wind through the trees, and the warmth of your body

"I smile, feeling your body relax against mine as we ride through the quiet countryside. The night air is cool and crisp, carrying the scent of wildflowers and damp earth." "Leaning back into you, I let out a contented sigh." I'm glad you're enjoying it, James. "I murmur, my voice soft and intimate." There's something about being out here under the stars, with no distractions, just the two of us... it's peaceful. "I turn my head slightly, my lips brushing against your cheek in a gentle, affectionate gesture." And the view isn't half bad either, is it? "I tease, my gaze drifting over the rolling hills and dark forests that stretch out before us." "As we continue our journey, the world seems to slow down, the only sounds the steady rhythm of the horse's hooves and the occasional hoot of an owl or rustle of leaves. It's as if time itself has fallen away, leaving only the present moment, and the two of us, lost in our own little world." "Eventually, we reach the outskirts of a small village, the thatched roofs of the cottages glowing like embers in the moonlight. I guide the horse towards a secluded path, the trees closing in around us once more as we make our way deeper into the woods." *After a short while, the path opens up into a clearing, and I bring the horse to a halt. In the center

"As the horse comes to a stop, I turn in the saddle to look at you, a soft smile playing on my lips." This, my dear James, is my little sanctuary. "I say, my voice filled with a sense of nostalgia and contentment." "I dismount, offering you a hand up before leading the horse to a nearby stream where it can drink. As we walk, the soft grass sways around our ankles, and the night sounds of the forest envelop us, a soothing melody of crickets and frogs." "Once the horse is settled, I turn to face you, my eyes shining with a mix of affection and mischief." I've spent many a night here, under the stars, lost in my thoughts and desires. "I confess, my voice low and husky." It's a place where I can truly be myself, without fear of judgment or expectation. "I step closer, my hands finding their way to your waist as I pull you against me." And now, with you by my side, it feels even more complete. "I murmur, my lips brushing against your ear." I want to show you everything this place has to offer, to share all my secrets and desires with you. "I pull back, my gaze locking onto yours with an intensity that sends a shiver down your spine." So, what do you say, James? Are you ready to explore my sanctuary, and see where the night takes us? *I ask, my

"A thrill of excitement runs through me at your agreement, and I can't help but grin, my eyes sparkling with anticipation." Excellent, I knew you'd be up for an adventure. "I say, taking your hand and leading you deeper into the forest." "The trees seem to close in around us, casting long, eerie shadows on the ground. The air is heavy with the scent of damp earth and decaying leaves, and the only sound is the rustling of branches overhead and the soft crunch of twigs beneath our feet." "We walk for a while, the path winding and narrow, until we reach a small clearing. In the center stands an old, dilapidated cottage, its wooden frame weathered and worn, the thatched roof sagging in places. A faint, flickering light emanates from the windows, casting an otherworldly glow over the scene." "I lead you up the creaky steps and push open the door, revealing a cozy, dimly lit interior. The room is cluttered with various trinkets and artifacts, each one telling a story of its own. Faded tapestries hang on the walls, depicting scenes of myth and legend, while the fireplace crackles with a warm, inviting flame." "I release your hand and move to the hearth, pouring two mugs of wine from a carafe that sits on the mantle. I hand one to you, my fingers brushing against yours as I do so." Make yourself

"I smile, my eyes sparkling with pleasure at your observation." Yes, it has a certain... energy to it, doesn't it? "I agree, taking a sip of my wine as I look around the room, nostalgia washing over me." "Setting my mug down, I move to a nearby shelf, running my fingers over the various artifacts and relics that adorn it." Each of these items holds a special significance to me, a piece of my past, my dreams, my desires. "I murmur, pulling out a small, ornate box and opening it to reveal a delicate silver pendant inside." *This, for instance, was given to me by a lover long ago, a token of our forbidden passion. "I say, lifting the pendant out and holding it up to the firelight, the metal glinting with an ethereal sheen." And this... "I rummage through the box, producing a worn, leather-bound book." ...is a collection of my own tales, stories of magic and adventure, of love and loss. "I smile wistfully, running a finger over the cover." "I close the box and set it back on the shelf, turning to face you with a mischievous glint in my eye." And now, I have a new story to add to the collection, one of my own making, with you as the hero. *I tease, taking a step closer to you, my voice lowering to a husky whisper

"I grin, my eyes glinting with excitement as I take another sip of my wine." Well, I was thinking something along the lines of... "I pause for dramatic effect, setting my mug down and turning to face you fully." ...a dark and stormy night, the wind howling through the trees like a chorus of restless spirits. "I begin, my voice low and hypnotic." You and I, alone in this very cottage, the fire crackling and spitting embers as we engage in a game of wit and seduction. "I step closer, my body nearly touching yours as I continue the tale." The air is thick with tension, the air charged with desire, as we dance around each other, each word, each gesture, a carefully crafted move in a delicate game of chess. "My hand finds your chest, fingers splayed wide as I press you back against the wall, my body molding to yours as I whisper in your ear." And then, in the heat of the moment, our roles reverse, and it's you who takes control, your strong hands exploring my curves, your lips claiming mine in a kiss that sets my very soul ablaze. "I pull back, my breath hot against your skin, my eyes burning with a fierce, primal need." What do you think, James? Will you be the hero of my tale, the one who tames the wild and untamed Leo? *I ask, my voice a seductive pur

"A shiver runs down my spine at your words, and I can't help but let out a low, husky chuckle." Oh, James, you have no idea what you're getting yourself into. "I tease, my fingers trailing down your chest as I press myself against you." "But I can see the fire in your eyes, the determination to claim me, body and soul. And it only fuels my own desire, my need to submit to your touch, to surrender to the passion that pulses between us." "I lean in, my lips brushing against yours in a soft, teasing kiss." Very well, my hero. "I murmur against your mouth." Tame me, if you can. Conquer the untamed Leo, and make me yours. "I challenge, my hands sliding down to grip your hips, pulling you harder against me." "As we kiss, the world around us melts away, until all that exists is the heat of our bodies, the taste of our lips, the hunger that drives us to explore every inch of each other." "I break the kiss, my breath coming in ragged gasps as I look up at you, my eyes dark with lust." Take me, James. "I whisper, my voice barely audible over the pounding of my heart." Show me what it means to be tamed by you.

"A primal growl rumbles in my throat at your words, and I surge forward, capturing your mouth in a bruising kiss. My hands roam your body with a possessive hunger, tearing at your clothes, desperate to feel your skin against mine." "I pull back just long enough to divest myself of my own garments, leaving us both bare and wanting. In the firelight, our bodies are painted in shadows and golden highlights, a living, breathing work of art." "I push you back onto the plush rug that lies before the hearth, my body covering yours as I claim your mouth once more. My tongue delves deep, exploring, conquering, as my hips grind against yours, seeking friction, seeking release." "I break the kiss, my lips trailing down your neck, nipping and sucking at the sensitive skin. My hands explore every curve and contour of your body, mapping you out, committing you to memory." "I reach your chest, my fingers wrapping around your throbbing erection, giving it a firm stroke. I look up at you through hooded eyes, a wicked smile playing on my lips." You're mine now, James. "I declare, my voice low and husky." And I'm going to make you forget every other touch, every other kiss. There will be only you and me, lost in the flames of our desire.
