"Then I come too. Hard. In her tight little pussy, I come until she's filled up nice and good."
I pull away, sinking back in my chair. Refusing to let myself faint over his sensational description. "Levi, truth or dare."
He smiles, and I know he loves getting me all riled up. "Dare. Always dare."
"Okay, then I dare you to ask someone for a condom."
He laughs. "That's cruel, you know that, right?"
I nodded as he pulls out his wallet and pays the bill with cash. Then he stands, takes my hands, and drags me outside.
"I could ask that man?" Levi points to a man pushing a stroller filled with a toddler, a pregnant woman at his side.
"It might sound rude."
"I'm guessing me asking that question of anyone is gonna come across as a little... intense. I mean, it's ten a.m. and there is a drug store across the street."
I groan. "Okay, you're right. I don't want anyone to get offended. How about I dare you to do something else..."
"What?" he asks, his hands on my hips, looking down at me. "I see an idea in your eyes."
"Okay I was just... maybe I could dare you to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower with me? We are right outside of Paris Paris."
"All right, we can do that." He smiles and my heart pounds in my chest. He makes me feel so safe and important and good inside. "Dare accepted."
A few minutes later we're in the elevator going to the top of the Eiffel Tower, but instead of looking out at the view, my eyes are glued to Levi's. I don't know what it is about him, but he has shaken me up, in a way that can only be positive.
"Okay, I did the dare," he says. "We're at the top. Now it's your turn. Truth or dare, Lucy?"
This time, though, I don't want to play it safe. I want to take a chance. I don't want my life to be as it has always been. I want it to be more.
I don't have to wait until the worst happens with Granny before I start living my life. I don't know why I told myself that for so long, but I did. I can live my life right now. Right here.
And standing here now, at the top of the Eiffel Tower, with a man who makes me feel both beautiful and brave, it's clear. When I'm with Levi, I am living my life. Fully.
"Dare," I tell him, my choice surprising him. "I choose dare."
He smiles down at me, melting me and making me swoon and believe in love at first kiss in a way I've never thought was real.
"Damn, woman," he growls in my ear. "I was hoping you'd say that."
And then he kisses me.Chapter SevenLeviI kiss her, relishing the warmth of her body against mine, and realizing this is exactly what I've been missing for so damn long.
Not just a woman. This woman.
She parts her lips and my tongue finds hers and I kiss her like we have forever together.
And at this moment, as crazy as it sounds, I feel like I do. With her soft supple body in my arms, her chin tilted up, and her eyes closed, I run my hands over her back, taking it in. This gentle woman in this jaded city. She doesn't belong here. She belongs with me.
"God, I love kissing you," I tell her, as her hands run over my back, my muscles tightening as she touches me. I ache for more of her. All of her. "I want you," I whisper in her ear, my breath hot, and her body so damn needy. I feel it in the way she leans against me, not pulling back. She gives in.
"I want you too, I want you so badly."
I look into her eyes, not wanting to push her somewhere she's not ready to go. "You mean it?"
"I do, but..." She bites her bottom lip. I brush a loose strand of hair from her eyes, not wanting her to feel bad.
"Don't you dare change who you are for me,” I tell her. "For anyone. You held out long enough, there's no need to give up your ideals now."
She looks at me so tenderly I see her heart aching. "Why are you so good to me? Why are you such a good, honest man?"
"I haven't always been. But when I'm with you, I want to be the man you need."
"Oh, Levi," she whispers, wrapping her arms around my neck and blinking back tears. She finds my lips all over again.
She runs her hands over my chest and when our eyes meet I know my girl needs more. Now. No one's here with us, it's still early morning as far as Vegas is concerned. The city really comes alive at tonight. Right now, it’s just her and me at the top of the Eiffel Tower,
