We turn the corner and Marley pulls into a parking space along the street. The street is lined with cars and I see Levi’s SVU.
“It’s that one right there.” She points to her left. “You want me to wait?”
I nod because I am not sure if Levi will talk to me. I jump out and head to his door. I knock lightly, and I hear voices on the other side. When the door opens, I see it is the same guy who grabbed my arm the night on the sidewalk.
“What do you want?”
“I...I need to see Levi.” I stammer for a second because there is something about this guy that I don’t like.
“He is busy. In his bedroom.” He cocks his eyebrow at me.
“No, I’m not, Nichols. Go away.” Levi comes up behind him. Nichols eyes me up and down in disgust and walks away.
“How did you find my place?” He crosses his arms. I think about his strong arms around me when I swallow hard. He still looks angry with me, and I’m not sure if he will listen to me.
“I needed to talk to you.” My voice is shaky, but I need to say this to him. It needs to be face-to-face.
“You have one minute.”
“I found Sunny and talked to her.” Levi’s eye widen. “I know you were telling me the truth. So, I’m sorry. I’m sorry I didn’t believe you, for calling you some foul names, and well...I’m sorry. I was mad because I didn’t think you would lie to me. Seeing you with her hurt me because I thought something was happening between us.” The tears are creeping up, but I won’t let them fall in front of him. “That’s all I had to say.” I turn to walk away.
“Hey, Smarty.” I turn to see him leaning on the door frame. He nods his head for me to follow him into his place. I do and he shuts the door behind me. He grabs my hand lovingly and we walk through the living where a few guys are playing a video game.
“Hey, what the hell do you think you are doing?” Nichols says.
“Shut up!” Levi yells at him as he continues to drag me to, what I assume, is his bedroom.
I walk into a large room. I’m surprised to see it so clean. I notice that his color scheme is simple and it’s just like him, crisp and clean. I take a quick glance around the room. His desk in the corner has a stack of books on it. I notice there is nothing on the walls, but there are two small picture frames on his nightstand. I sit on the edge of the bed and look at him as he shuts and locks the door. I’m not sure what he has planned, but he looks like I am prey and he is the lion. I’m not scared of him, I trust him. He pulls me up from the bed and pulls down the zipper of my jacket.
“Wait.” I step back. He eyebrows shoot up and he looks at me curiously. “I have to text Marley.”
He laughs. “Do you need her permission?”
“Ha, ha,” I say sarcastically. “No, she is waiting outside. She was hanging around to make sure I was going to be okay.” I send her a quick text and tell her I’m fine and she can leave. I don’t realize until then that my hands are shaking.
When I am finished, I take off my jacket and look up at him. The anger and fury I’d seen in his eyes before is gone. Now, they’re filled with lust and desire. He cups my cheeks and bring his lips down to mine. His soft lips are a contrast to his rough, hockey hands that are caressing my cheeks.
“Presley,” Levi breaks out of our kiss and I stare into blue eyes. I can feel his hot breath on my skin and it is setting me on fire.
“Yes.” I can barely get the one syllable word out.
“Do you trust me?”
“What?” I’m not expecting him to say anything like that.
“Do you trust me?” he repeats.
I do. I know that he was telling me the truth about helping out Sunny tonight. I know that he opened up to me at the hockey rink and he doesn’t with others. He isn’t like my brother had said. I’m sure Levi has had his fair share of Bunnies, but he is more than that. I take the leap.
“Yes, Levi, I do trust you.”
Levi brings his lips back to mine. The kiss is more intense and I feel his hands move from my cheeks down my back and he gently cups my ass. He lifts me up off the ground and I wrap my legs around him. He lays me at the head of the bed and settles in between my legs. My body takes over, and I rock against him. I can feel every inch of his hardness as he presses into me. I jerk at the bottom of his shirt to get it off of him. I still can’t believe how his rock hard abs aren’t considered illegal in most states. He leaves my lips as I finish getting his shirt off. He kisses down my neck and nips at my collarbone. I arch my back and moan.
“Fuck, Presley.” He sits me up and removes my shirt and bra in a flash and we lay back down. Our body heat is making our skin singe with pleasure. Levi works his way down to my breast. His teeth graze my nipple and a shot of pleasure goes through my veins. I dig my nails into his back and rock harder against him. I need to feel more of him. My body is craving him.
Levi comes back to my mouth. “Say you trust me.”
“I trust you, Levi.” I’m panting with desire as I feel Levi’s hand tug at my yoga pants. He is staring at me and is breathing as hard as I am when he pulls my underwear to the side. My legs open wider, on their own accord, as Levi touches me. He hasn’t broken our eye contact yet.
