Chapter Seventeen:
Spellbound
Sidney
My heart is beating out of my chest as I watch a thousand emotions cross Levi’s face. I know I’m awake because the anxiety in my chest is making me nauseous, which means this is real. This is the moment I’ve been waiting for and dreading for years — the one that will make or break us.
And the fucker isn’t answering me.
Okay, fine. I’ll try another tactic, because if I lose him now, I’m going to kill everyone on this tour and their ancestors.
“Lee, I’m in. All the way. The ups, the downs, the disappointments and surprises. I know you’re not perfect, but you’ve always been perfect for me. If that’s enough for you, then it’s enough for me.”
There’s a shine to his emerald green eyes as they flutter closed, his arms wrapping around me tightly to hold me there. “You’re enough for me, Sid. I fucking love you.”
I don’t think I’ll ever get used to hearing it, but while I want him to say it a million times, I have something more pressing I need him to do. “Kiss me, Levi.”
Pulling back, he meets my gaze with parted lips, reading every inch of my face for confirmation as he slowly leans in. “But I haven’t earned it.”
Yet that doesn’t stop him from closing the distance and gently pressing his mouth against mine like he couldn’t stop himself if he tried.
Butterflies explode in my stomach as I card my fingers in his messy hair, but keep it slow. I’ll have plenty of time for frantic, needy kisses as we move forward, but for right now? I want to savor every moment.
Hearing him whimper the first time our tongues touch nearly stops my heart completely, but we finally seem to be on the same page. He doesn’t devour me in the way I expect, he explores.
My fingers tremble as my cock grows and I finally break the kiss, breathless and unable to hide a smile. This is why I waited. This is why I never let Leo kiss me or anyone else I hooked up with. It feels too good to just give to anyone.
“You can’t back out now,” I whisper, tilting my forehead against his. “That was basically a marriage proposal.”
“Say that back to yourself, pretty boy. You’re stuck with me now, and if you try to walk away I’ll just follow you. I’d marry you right now if you let me, I finally have all I’ve been missing.”
There’s still a small part of me worried he’s only so interested because he thought he couldn’t have me, and I know the feelings might fade for him. But if I was prepared to sit back and love him from the shadows, if I was ready to be his fuckdoll and nothing more, surely I can handle finally having all of him for a while even if it ends. No relationship is guaranteed, and right now, I wouldn’t trade this feeling for anything.
Who cares what happens later?
“Kiss me ag—”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
“Are you expecting someone?” I mumble, looking at the clock and seeing it’s not even six am yet. “Do I have to hurt someone?”
The thought is laughable, but I still want to bite him when he laughs at me. “Calm down, killer. I’m not expecting anyone,and everyone knows not to send someone here. I’m celibate, remember?”
The hard cock under my ass says otherwise, but I pout when he stands us both up and sets me on the bed to go answer it.
The door flies open the second he unlocks it and Bash pushes his way inside. “Good. You’re both here. We have to talk.”
“At the ass crack of dawn? Why?”
Levi discreetly adjusts his boner while closing the door, and I pull the blanket over my lap to hide mine. Not much I can do about my rosy red cheeks though. “What happened, Bash? Is something wrong? Bus broke down?”
