I reach back and grab his balls and start rolling them in my palm, provoking a low groan to tumble out of him. Levi pumps into me at a frenzied rate, and his thumb begins rubbing my clit.
“I don’t think I can last,” he pants, and it’s music to my ears. He gives me a heated look like I’m the only thing in his universe, and it sends me over the edge.
“Come with me,” I manage to rasp out as I shatter. Heat engulfs my body and floods my system as my pussy spasms around his cock, milking him dry.
“Fuck,” Levi cries out as he pumps into me one last time, and his hot cum fills me up. Spent, I collapse onto his chest and giggle. I definitely didn’t plan that to go so well, that’s for sure.
“Ouch,” Levi says, and he leans down to rub at his hip.
“Are you okay?” I ask, concern laced in my voice.
“Yeah, just a burning sensation. Must have pulled a muscle. It’s been a while,” he says while laying back down, and I feel a sheet being draped over me.
“That was amazing,” I say, looking up at Levi, and he smiles back at me.
“Yes, it was. Thank you,” he says, and it catches me off guard.
“For what?”
“For… taking charge. I normally don’t like that,” he stumbles, and I decide to save him.
Moving up his body, so I’m directly over his face, I grab his chin so he can’t look away. “Look, you don’t have to say thank you or even apologize about how you are. If someone is going to be with you, they should be there for you, not for what you can be. If you need someone to take charge in the bedroom, then that’s perfectly fine.” I give him a quick and chaste kiss. “You don’t have to pretend to be something you’re not around me. I just need to know what you need. Unfortunately, I’m not a mind reader,” I smile at him.
“Thanks, but it’s not that easy for me. I have standards I have to keep and—” I cut him off.
“Who said so? If they are your standards, then just lower them, Levi. Stop trying to be someone you’re not or follow ridiculous standards that push you away from the people you love,” I say, and he gives me a shocked look. His expression has me laughing, “It’s pretty obvious, Levi. You’re only around your family in physical form, but do you really participate? Do you even know what your family is struggling with right now? What’s JP’s favorite class he’s had this week? What is Zeke really scared of? What causes Moni to panic at the drop of a hat?” I ask, watching as emotions flicker across his face until he looks up at me with shame.
“I have no idea,” he says, and I start to see his walls go back up. No. No… I’m not ready.
“Levi, I didn’t say it to make you feel bad. Stay here with me. Please don’t slip away again.” I lean in and kiss him with all the passion I have left in my soul. I don’t want him to wallow in self-hatred. That wasn’t what I was trying to do. I wanted him to make a choice to be here, instead of safe in this vault he’s erected.
Pulling back, he looks into my eyes and I see it. All the passion he tries to hide. Why he hides it, I don’t know. He shakes his head slightly, as if trying to clear it, and the light fades. Not wanting to let go completely and accepting that our time has ended, I look for anything to keep him in the here and now. I see the slight cut on his right cheek, it’s fainter than what it was the first day I saw him but my curiosity peaks.
“What happened here?” I move my finger and trace over the faint line.
He winces but not in pain, more like a bad memory and I’m about to tell him to forget it when he lightly trails his hands up my back as he sighs. Wrapping his arms around me tightly, he engulfs me with his delicious heat, distracting me for a moment.
“As you might have already concluded from my conversation; Emer and I dated in the past,” he confesses and I tense.Who wants to talk about their ex and my worst enemy after what we just shared? Great! Then again, I did ask the question.
“I broke up with her over the summer and she showed up at my dorm the night before you showed up, wanting to get back together. I told her there’s no chance of that happening. She decided to show me how much she appreciated that answer with her hand.” He shrugs and it takes me a full minute to process what he just said. And when I do, I see red!
WHAT THE FUCK!? She HIT him? She’s Dead!
Fury pours through my veins, heating my core at the fact that she thought it was okay to hit someone. Yes, she hit me, but I’m a girl. So, it’s free fucking range for me to lay her ass out. But to hit a man, especially a classy individual like Levi that won’t hit back? I can’t fathom it.
That bitch just signed her death warrant or at least another beat down. Where’s a knife? I’ll cut a bitch, fuck that Fae fire pink Gucci hussy from Hell. I didn’t start this fight but I swear on whatever deity, God, or devil, I’m gonna end it.
I don’t realize I’m trying to get up and storm out to go find her ass until Levi yanks me back down on top of him.
“Woah! Calm down!” Levi gently grips my jaw and turns my face so I’m staring at his hazel eyes. “Thank you for wanting to come to my rescue,” Levi chuckles and gives me a chaste kiss. His lips, I swear are a balm to the inferno that was raging inside and my muscles start to relax. A thought crosses my mind as his eyes soften.
“Are you using your powers on me right now, trying to calm me down? I mean you did something to the harpies in the cafeteria. How does that work anyways? Your powers, I mean,” I question. Peppering kisses along my jaw and over my cheeks, his breath glides across my jaw as he speaks
“I am trying to get your mind off of your anger yes, but not with my powers. I’m still trying to learn how they work, but I’m able to manipulate some emotions like I did with the girls—” he tenses underneath me for a moment and releases a sigh. “But… ahem. My powers do not work on you,” he confesses and freezes with his lips pressed against my jaw.
My muscles automatically lock up and my stomach becomes uneasy. “You’ve tried it on me before?” I have to know. He pulls away from me to look me in the eyes before closing them in a wince.
“I’m sorry, but yes,” he says in a defeated tone. I feel his arms loosen around me and I panic. Reaching out, I stop his movements and place a light kiss on his lips. In shock, his eyes fly open.
