At least not for me.
When my climax finally calms to the point where I can think, he cradles me against his body and starts walking down the hallway.
“We’re going to bed,” he says.
“Bed.”
“Don’t worry. We won’t be sleeping.” He winks, and a wicked look flashes in his eyes. “I’m just getting started with you.”
He carries me up to his room and lays me on his bed.
I barely manage a breath before he’s inside me again.
Chapter Twenty-Two
LEVI
Steam curls through the bathroom, a contrast to the cool light spray of water sprinkling over us from the showerhead.
Piper stands directly beneath it with her back against the cool river-rock wall. Wet hair clings to her skin as the water glides in delicious rivulets down her bare breasts.
Christ.
She’s beautiful.
I brace one hand beside her head and the other near her waist, trapping her between my arms while I watch her.
This is another fantasy my wicked mind concocted, the two of us showering together naked.
She smiles at me as I look her up and down, taking in her perfect body.
I can still hear her laughter from earlier ringing in my head. I can still see her smiling out on the yacht with the sunlight catching. I can still see that rare moment when she gave herself to me.
It was different from the times when she chose me.
It looked like she gave herself permission to live, to feel, to be mine.
I watched her as I am now, slowly forgetting all the reasons she tried to stay away.
After last week, I wasn’t sure what to do. There’s a line between pushy and obsessive.
While I’ve obsessed over this woman since the moment I saw her, I’d never be the villain who pushed her into something she wasn’t ready for.
At the same time, that didn’t mean I’d stop chasing her.
Today changed something between us.
And now I have her all to myself. I don’t even know what the hell the time is. I’m supposed to be at the airport at eight in the morning. I have an alarm set, but for all I know, it could have gone off hours ago.
We’ve been at each other for what feels like days.
My gaze drifts lower.
“I dare you,” I mutter with a ruthless grin.
Water drips from the ends of her lashes as she tilts her face up toward me.
“To do what?” Piper smiles back, like she wants me just as badly as I want her.
