Levi set the bag down and turned with a questioning look. “You’re having second thoughts?”
“No, I’m more than a little…turned on.”
His smile came slow and hot, like the first stages of an inferno. “Let’s see if we can remedy that a little.” Without warning, his hands rested on my shoulder and slid up my neck until his big hands cupped my face, holding me like I was something precious. And a moment later, his mouth was on mine, devouring my lips right along with my good sense.
I sank into his kiss, pressed against his big body in search of any kind of relief from the storm gathering within me. I moaned when his tongue swept inside my mouth and my body quivered as his hands began to roam my curves with the kind of appreciation that made a woman feel truly desired.
I want this.
The thought invaded my mind and it was the only thing I could think about, other than how good it felt to be held and kissed by a man again. So good. Almost too good. I pulled back with a needy groan. “Levi.”
“Too much?” His lips curled into a satisfied smile as if he knew the words I would say next.
“It’s great, but I’m sorry to say Levi that it is not…enough.”
His smile broadened and his eyes darkened to black orbs of desire as he dove in for another kiss, this time his hands kicked up their exploration. His big, warm fingers slid down my back until his hands cupped my considerable backside, adding a growl of appreciation to the mix before they slid up to my waist, holding me like I was a tiny little thing, which was how I felt against Levi’s size. Finally his hands roamed up and around to cup my breasts, heavy with desire, before his thumbs grazed my nipples.
“This body,” he growled. “It’s perfection. I need to see it.”
I smiled, feeling bolder than I’d ever felt in my life as I took two steps back and grabbed the hem of my dress. “Need?”
Levi nodded like a man possessed. “You have five seconds before I do it myself.”
His words sent a shiver through me, and I didn’t even bother to hide it as I slowly pulled the dress up and over my head. My heart raced when the dress was off and I stood under the dark, hot perusal of Levi’s eyes over my body.
“Well?”
“Red is definitely your color.” He closed the gap between us and slid his tongue along the seam of the bra where cleavage met fabric. His tongue was magical as it worked from one breast to the other before licking down my stomach where he pressed a kiss to the triangle between my thighs. “Definitely your color.”
“Levi,” I moaned.
“Say my name like that every time you say it. Please.”
I looked at him. “Kiss me like that every time, and I will.”
My words were rewarded with an open-mouthed kiss right over my panties which provided delicious friction.
“Good god, Levi.”
His low chuckle sent vibrations ricocheting through me and my fingers tangled in his hair, gripping perhaps a little too hard. With another laugh, his lips dotted heat up my body until his mouth was on mine again.
“Lacey.”
“Levi.” His name came out as a breathless whisper, our lips still touched. “Naked. Now. Please.”
He took a step back, slowly undressing until he stood before me in nothing but a pair royal blue boxer briefs. His body was…incredible. Long and lean, almost rangy with his long muscles and tanned skin. But it was the dark hair on his chest and the long trail that disappeared behind his boxer briefs that reminded me that Levi was a man.
All man.
“Wow. This is unexpected.” My gaze roamed his body to the point I was ogling him, I couldn’t look away from the long ridge of arousal pushing against the fabric of his underwear.
“Keep looking at me like that and this will be over before it even begins.”
My hand reached out to touch his chest and I dragged my fingertips down his abs before gripping the erection doing a bad job of hiding behind his boxers.
“Lacey,” he growled and hooked a hand around my waist to pull me flush against him.
“Yes, Levi?” I continued to stroke him through his underwear, but it wasn’t enough. I needed more.
He bent and gripped my thighs, lifting me up and carrying me to the sofa with a growl. “Bedroom. Where is it?”
“Upstairs, last door on the left.” I was breathless as Levi carried me up, a dark look on his face as he laid me on the bed and stared down at me, hungry and aroused. “Come here.” I channeled my inner vixen and summoned him.
His body laid over mine, the delicious weight a good reminder of all that I’d missed in the past few years. He was hard everywhere I was soft and I shook as his lips kissed me all over before he slid one finger deep enough to send my back arching off the bed. “All that delicious wetness, just for me.”
