One Choice (Hogan Brothers 2)

At her first whimper, his blood pumped so forcefully in his ears that he could hardly hear beyond his breathing. Holy fucking hell did he feel, though. With his eyes closed, he summoned all his other senses, opening to her every moan and cry. She soaked his cock as he pumped in and out of her without grace, and her glorious walls sucked at his dick, leaving him practically immovable. Her thighs gripped tight to his hips as her nails scratched down his back.

“Levi, oh, Levi,” she repeatedly purred in his ear.

“You’re perfection, Hayes.” He was finally able to praise her. “Your tight little pussy fits me like a damn glove. You were made for me, baby.” He sucked on the pulse in her neck, biting lightly as she came in his arms.

The full-body shivers wracking her frame and her cries of ecstasy invoked his own release as his toes dug into the mattress, pushing his cock as far inside of her as he could so they melded into one single form.

“You’re mine, sweetheart,” he murmured one more time before they both relaxed into sleep. Peace following him for once.

Chapter Ten

Love alone is worth the fight.

Waking up with Hayes in his arms was hands down the most memorable moment in Levi’s life. Second, of course, to the way she gave herself over to him. Freely and completely. Seeing Hayes come undone for him was beautiful. Awe-inspiring. Her trust astounded him.

Wanting to do something special for her, he slipped from bed to make her breakfast. He knew she didn’t normally eat much more than a muffin, so he went all out. Gave her a real feast. He planned on showing her that he wanted more from their relationship as well. She’d wanted last night to be about them getting to know each other, and they’d gotten carried away. Not that he regretted it. Being surrounded by her as she experienced the greatest high in the universe was something for him to pound his chest over.

Whistling on his way down to the kitchen, he was shocked by the fresh scent of coffee that assaulted him. Stepping into the room, he took in the sight of his mother humming softly to herself, and it made him nervous.

“Ma?” he questioned, fully entering the room and half-hoping Hayes stayed asleep. She didn’t know that his fighting was a secret, and since he wasn’t ready to tell his family about it, he didn’t want her to spill the beans.

“Hello, sweetheart.” His mother beamed at him as she spun around.

“What are you doing here, Ma?”

Handing him a cup like it was her own home, she replied, “I haven’t seen you in over a week, Levi, so I thought I’d stop by.”

He had to force himself not to look behind him and give his company away. “Now’s not really a good time.”

She ignored him. “I was thinking of throwing an engagement party for Lennox and Sophia in the next couple of weeks. What do you think?” There was something in her eyes.

“Sure, Ma. Whatever you want.” He’d agree to nearly anything at that moment.

“You don’t have some hussy here, do you?” She sounded pissed at the idea.

“Not a hussy, ma’am,” a soft voice said from behind him.

His head hung as Hayes entered the room, and his mother eyed her skeptically. Her shock at seeing a woman in his home was quickly masked.

Holding his arm out for Hayes, he turned his head briefly to notice that she was in nothing but his t-shirt. His groan of appreciation was torn from him before he could force it back down.

“Levi,” his mother hissed.

Once Hayes was in his arms, he introduced them, hoping against everything in his world that they would hit it off. “Ma, this is Hayes. Sugar, this is my mother, Lorraine.”

Hayes remained glued to his side as she spoke. “It’s nice to meet you, ma’am.”

His mother, the only woman who meant anything to him before now, remained the quietest he’d ever seen her. Her gaze travelled up and down Hayes like a bug under a microscope.

“Ma,” he prompted.

“How old are you, Hayes?” Not what he was expecting.

His girl looked up to him briefly before answering. “Eighteen, ma’am.”

Lorraine’s penetrating gaze flew daggers at him as she scolded him. “She’s barely an adult, Levi!”

“I’m going to go get dressed.” Hayes’ whispered words were full of hurt, so he let her go.
