His mouth was on hers as she guided him to her entrance and then she was sinking onto him.
Levi’s finger found her center again, and he rubbed the bundle of nerves there, making her hot and achy, her body sliding faster on him.
“I can’t last,” she said, “I’m going to—to…”
“You don’t have to last. This is only the first course.” His lips wrapped around her nipple and he flicked it with his tongue.
Her climax hit her hard—pent up as she was these last few days with the fear of having lost him. Of having to get over the man she loved so much.
Her body convulsed, pleasure spilling over her in long waves, and a moan erupted from her throat.
When she caught her breath, Levi thrust up, shaking with desire. He clung to her, his chest rising and falling as spasms jerked his body.
His breathing evened out and she slumped back onto the bed, Levi following her down. He lay partway on top of her and half on the mattress, his face burred against the side of her face and hair. Her view was of an extremely hot, half-bared ass. It didn’t get much better than that.
He grabbed her breast and kissed her temple. “Don’t forget. You’re mine for the next twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Longer, if I have my way.”
The man hadn’t even taken his pants all the way off and he was thinking of round two?
Lord save her.
She was in love. Her heart was so full she didn’t think there was space for anything more. And the best part? Levi loved her too. She’d always felt it, but now she’d heard it from his lips.
There was nothing better than being loved by Levi Cade.
Chapter 30
Levi had returnedto wearing his business clothes to work, much as he loathed it. Emily enjoyed removing them, and there was no way he’d come between his woman and her pleasure.
He grinned, remembering how they’d christened the new tent. He’d built a permanent bedframe and bought a new mattress for it. He’d built the tent in his favorite spot on the property for Emily, though he’d not admitted it was for her at the time. He’d wanted some place he could bring her where they could enjoy the view of the lake, mountains, and stars. Because suddenly nothing in life was as enjoyable without her at his side.
The phone rang on his desk and he picked it up, clearing his mind of memories of his naked girlfriend in their new tent. “This is Levi.”
“Hello, Mr. Cade. This is Hwan Kim from Shin Electronics. I was asked to reach out to you to schedule our annual meeting at your resort for next year. We’ll be doubling the numbers and wish to book early in preparation for the larger group. One of our important American clients contacted us after our stay with you this summer and expressed how much he’d enjoyed Club Tahoe. He wishes to return next year, and we certainly want to make him happy.”
Levi couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He thought he’d ruined their chances with the business conglomerate after the disastrous last impression. “It was a pleasure to have you. We’d be happy to accommodate your group next year. Let me put you in touch with Emily Wright, my resort manager. She’ll make sure everything is set up exactly as you want.”
Levi had promoted Emily. Sure, she was his girlfriend, but she’d also been performing the job of a manager without the title. He’d simply handed off the grunt work she was doing to their two receptionists and one of the executives on his team, all of whom were more than happy about the pay boost.
He’d been frugal these last few months, but with the four-year conference account he’d landed last week and now Shin Electronics booked for next year, things were looking up. Emily had also sent out the second round of marketing for the new children’s program. The feedback was extremely positive, with bookings increasing by another ten percent.
After losing major accounts and a small percentage of capital, thanks to Samuel Miller, they’d been struggling. They still needed to stay on their toes and maintain the forward momentum, but once Levi had learned of Miller’s behind-the-scenes activities, he’d fired the man and anyone associated with him. Using the information his finance director and Jared had pulled together, Levi had pressed charges against Miller and the others.
Lisa’s boyfriend, Jared, was a good man, and he’d quickly fit in with the rest of Club Tahoe’s team. He’d even found a new way to save money for the club, which allowed Levi to add a new charity to the roster. Levi wouldn’t have expected that from a finance guy. Lisa had done well for herself, and he couldn’t be happier for her, or for himself—he’d landed a great finance manager out of it.
Hunt rapped on the open door. “You beckoned?”
“Come in.” Levi stood and walked to the window, leaning his hip against the ledge, arms crossed. It was time he spoke to his brother. He wasn’t sure he could snuff the animosity that had brewed between them for years, but he was willing to work on it. “Have a seat.”
Hunt let out a harsh breath. “I’d rather stand. I’ve got work to do.”
“Fair enough. I wanted to invite you to a round of golf this afternoon.”
Hunt glared. “We don’t need to play a round of golf. Just tell me what you think I’ve done wrong, and I’ll be on my way.”
Levi sighed. Obviously, some things would take time. “There’s nothing to report. Just thought we should spend time together.”
Hunt eyed him. “Time together… Are you serious?”
