“After graduation,” he mumbled into her neck, “I want you moving in.” She froze, he continued his sensual assault on her body. “You’ll still go to school in the fall.” he murmured in her ear as he nibbled on the lobe. “When you’re done, you’ll be the nutritionist in my new gym.”
She wasn’t sure what shocked her more, the fact that he was thinking so far ahead, or the bomb he just dropped on her. “Gym?”
“Later, sugar. I need you now.” And that was the only answer she got as he slowly slid his pulsing cock into her tight channel.
They started out slow, eyes meeting, breaths catching. Light kisses to the chest and neck as he slowly slid in and out of her in a delicious rhythm. They grew more frantic when he rubbed a sensitive spot inside of her, making her scream and convulse around his cock as her back arched off the step.
“Hang on, baby,” he groaned as he hiked her legs around his waist and picked up his bruising pace. He dipped his head as he latched onto one of her nipples, sucking and biting gently.
Her body burned for more of him, for everything he could give her. “More, Levi, please,” she begged without remorse.
Her orgasm was quick and swift as it swept through her frame, triggering his release. He climbed over the edge of bliss right along with her.
Laying on the stairs in a tangled mess of limbs and sweat, Levi cradled Hayes to his chest like she was the most precious gift he’d ever been given.
“Gym, huh?” she questioned again. He laughed lightly against her neck.
Picking her up in his arms, he slowly made the way to his room. Collapsing on the bed on top of her and still embedded deeply inside of her, he began to explain his thoughts and ideas.
“Fighting was never going to be my life. The MMA, title matches, the spotlight, none of that shit’s for me.” She didn’t think he was a glory hound. “I started fighting on a whim. My winnings have always gone to charity.” She wasn’t shocked.
“Why did you start?”
He looked at her, really connecting with her soul as he answered. “It was just before Nox met Soph. I was in a bar with some girl I was seeing when I got into a fight. Casper hauled me out before the cops showed up and I could be charged with assault—the other guys were fine—but Casper saw a need for purpose in me and pounced like a lion.”
“He used you.” It seemed that way to her.
“I think it was mutual. I made him money, he gave me an outlet for the emptiness I’d been feeling. After Nox and Soph started seeing each other, I finally realized what it was that I was missing, and I wanted it for myself. I was jealous and bitter, and the fights got worse. I never lost, though.”
“And now? How do you feel about everything?”
Levi’s smirk as he flexed his cock inside of her caused her to emit a gasp from her lips that was sexy as hell. “I think you know how I feel, Hayes.”
About her, she did. Or she had a pretty good idea, but neither were ready to say it yet. “I mean about the fighting. The MMA. Is it something you’re considering now?”
He thought about it for a minute before saying, “Not anymore.” His fingers traced her face as their eyes met. “You’re a game changer for me, sugar. I’ve been a lucky son of a bitch so far, but there have been plenty of times I shouldn’t have walked out of that ring. I have three fights left, and I’m done
.”
“That’s where the gym comes in?”
“It is. I like the exhilaration and blood-pumping rush I get from a fight. I always will. But I want it in a more controlled and less volatile environment.”
“And you want me there?”
“Every step of the way.”
She couldn’t stop the smile from transforming her features. His confidence in them, in her, was worth so much more than any gift.
“I would really love to be part of it.”
“Good.” He kissed her lightly, pulling them both up off the bed. “Get ready for school, and I’ll drop you off since I assume you have to actually go today?”
She shrugged. “I’m done with the tests, it’s mostly a bunch nonsense remaining.”
He levelled her with a hard look. “I promised your folks you’d finish and go, and that I wouldn’t steal you away until after graduation. Just go. Don’t tempt me.”
The pained look on his face had her laughing while she cleaned up and got ready. What she hadn’t been prepared for was the soul-stealing kiss he left her with on the front steps of her high school.
