“You’re really eager to get in my pants, aren’t you?”
“I’m not going to lie. That sounds like a plan to me.”
She threw up her hands. “Then why haven’t you made a move before this? I mean, come on, you could have kissed me any time before today, but now that the bond is going wacky, you suddenly have feelings for me and want to fuck me? Doesn’t really give me high hopes for the future.”
Levi fisted his hands and let out a breath. “We’re back to this? I was giving you
time
. I figured that waking up after a year-long coma wasn’t the best form of foreplay.”
“You could have eased into it!”
“Do you really want to fight with me over this? Or are you just looking for a way to yell so you don’t have to think about the fact that you could actually like me and want me for more than a good fuck? And Faith? It would be a good fuck. Better than good actually, but that’s neither here nor there.”
“I don’t understand you, Levi.”
He stepped closer. “Yeah, you do. I’m the same man who held your hand while we walked through the wizard realm. I’m the same man who followed you when you had to leave your friends rather than face your anger. And I’m the same man who bonded his soul to you because he felt like there could be something there for a future. I’m that man, Faith. I haven’t changed. You’re just seeing me clearly.”
“Nothing is clear about this,” she muttered. She ran her hands through her hair and let out a breath.
He ran his hands down her arms and tugged her closer. “Tell me what you want, Faith. That’s all you need to do. Just tell me what you want.”
She licked her lips and stood there in silence for so long that Levi was afraid he’d made a mistake.
“You,” she answered. “I want you.”
“Good.”
He crushed his mouth to hers, relishing her taste. He wanted her for now and hopefully forever, but this night, this kiss, this was for the two of them.
Faith clung to Levi, his taste bursting on her tongue. He tasted of spice, mint, and promise. His muscles bunched under her hand, straining as he held himself back. She didn’t want him to hold back; she wanted him to give her everything at least for the night. She’d said she’d wanted him, and that wasn’t a lie. Everything that came with that one need, though, was crushing her, drowning her until she couldn’t breathe. So instead of listening to any of that, she pushed it away, knowing it would always be there no matter what decision she made.
For now, she would live in the moment, take what she wanted, what she
needed
, and deal with the consequences later. She’d been dealing with those consequences since waking from the coma. Now she could sink into the passion and rewards of giving in—if only for a moment.
She pulled back, needing to breathe. “I’m on birth control. Will that still work if you’re not human?”
Such
a weird question to ask.
Something sparked over Levi’s eyes, but he nodded. “Yes, it will work. You know we can’t use condoms, at least for this first time.”
She nodded then kissed him, wanting his taste once more. They couldn’t use condoms the first time since they needed to bond, and she understood that. Anyone else and she would have run the other way, but Levi was different. And that thought scared the crap out of her.
Levi ran his hand down her back to squeeze her ass. He molded the globes in his hands, rocking against her so his dick pressed into her belly. Holy hell the man was big. She gasped when he squeezed again, and she pulled back, her mouth turning up in a smile.
Damn he looked sexy. He hadn’t shaved, so he had a slight scruff that would feel decadent along her inner thighs, and she’d run her hands through his hair when he kissed her, so dark strands had fallen ever his brow. He looked like wicked sin dressed up in that deceptive innocence she thought he held. Oh, he might be sexy and cunning, but there wasn’t a shred of innocence in him. Thank God.
“Just to let you know, I’m not some weak-kneed virgin in bed, Levi,” she said, wanting to make a few things clear before they went any further. “I won’t just bend over and take it because you order me to.”
His blue eyes darkened, and a swirl of bright white magic passed through them at her words. She loved seeing that. It reminded her he wasn’t human, wasn’t what she’d run from for so long before she’d ever met him. He was different,
hers.
“If I bend you over, I’ll take what I want because I know you’re the one pressing back on my cock as I ride you. Don’t think I don’t know that. As for weak-kneed virgin? I’m not a virgin either but your knees? I’ll make them weak. That’s a promise.”
She licked her lips, her damn knees going weak at his words alone. That didn’t mean anything.
Sure
.
She gripped his shirt and pulled him close. She wasn’t as strong as he was, considering she was human and he was built as fuck, but he moved with her anyway.
“We can take turns being on top. This time you can be on top since I’m in a giving mood.”
Levi leaned forward and bit her lip.
Hard.
She pushed at him but didn’t let go of his shirt. “Ouch, dude.”
“You liked it.”
“Yes, but still...” He smiled before leaning forward and licking the spot he’d bitten.
“Better?” he asked, his voice deep and husky.
“If you really want to make it better, you should probably kiss me other places. You know, just to be sure.” Faith didn’t know who this flirty vixen was, but if the way she spoke and teased made Levi look at her like that, she’d continue to do it until she ran out of energy.
Before she knew it, Levi had his shirt off and had pulled hers over her head. She gasped as he sucked her nipple through her bra, his hands roaming over her body. He pulled away, his eyes doing that magic spark thing she really wanted to see again and again. She wondered what kind of sparks would flash when he came.
“Take off your bra and play with your tits,” Levi ordered. “I want to see you cup them and roll your nipples. If you’re good, I’ll lick them and suck them until you come.”
Holy God. Her quiet, sweet Levi was a fucking dirty talker. Best. Day. Ever.
She’d deal with the future and what happened once she came later. Right now she just wanted Levi’s rough hands on her.
Now.
Instead of doing as she was told, she raised a brow. “I don’t take orders, Levi. I said you could be on top. I didn’t say you could top me.”
He rolled his eyes, even as he danced his fingers along her arm, sending shivers over her skin. “Like I’d ever be your Dominant. That’s not who we are, Faith. However, since you said I could be on top today, I want to see you play with your tits. Next time, when you’re on top, I’ll fist my cock while you watch. How’s that?”
Faith almost came on the spot. Instead of answering, she reached back and undid her bra. The lacy cups fell forward, and she pushed them away, not bothering to watch where the bra fell on the floor. Levi’s eyes darkened, and he licked his lips, his eyes on her tits before roaming up to her face.
“Touch them. Play with them. Show me how hard you like it.”
“I like it pretty hard, Levi,” she said, slowly circling her nipples with her fingertips. So close, but never quite touching. She didn’t know if she was teasing him or herself, but either way, her panties were freaking drenched. “You think you can make it hard enough for me?”
Levi quirked a brow, his hand over his dick through his pants. “Hard I can do. Now play with your nipples, or I won’t lick your pussy.”
Faith squirmed but cupped her breasts fully, pinching her nipples. She sucked in a breath, and Levi groaned. “Like this?”
“Any way you like it. Show me what you want.”
She nodded and forced herself to keep her eyes open. Normally, when she played with herself, she closed her eyes and got lost in the moment, but not today. She wanted to watch Levi’s reaction. Just seeing him barely keep that tight rein on his control urged her closer and closer to her peak. She was so close to coming, and she had only played with her nipples. That’s how potent this man was.
She continued to play with herself, her hips swaying as she pinched and rolled. Before she could go any further, Levi gripped her wrist, his eyes swirling with magic.
“I want to taste you,” he growled then knelt in front of her. He kissed down her belly, licking underneath the edge of her jeans. Her hands shook, but she kept them on her breasts, afraid she’d tangle her hands in his hair and press him closer.
He undid the top button then slowly unzipped her jeans. Then he kissed her panties, his eyes on hers as he looked up.
“You’re so fucking hot, Faith. Have I ever told you that before?”
He might have, but she couldn’t think, not with his mouth
so
freaking close. She licked her lips instead of answering then rolled her nipples again. When he pulled her pants and panties down to her ankles in one motion, she sucked in a breath.
“Step out of them.”
She did quickly, wanting his mouth on her something fierce. Then he had her back against the couch, one leg over his shoulder, and his mouth on her pussy.
“Fuck!” she screamed, holding on to the back of the couch so she didn’t fall over.
He hummed against her clit then speared her with two fingers. She came, throwing her head back and pressing herself closer to his face. Her body warmed and shook, going sweat-slick from just one lick.
He continued to lick her, taking his time around her lower lips while still fucking her with his fingers.
“Levi,” she panted. “Please.” She didn’t know if she was begging him to stop or make her come again. She couldn’t think. Couldn’t breathe.
“Again,” he growled, his beard scraping along her thighs. His fingers played a delicate, delicious beat within her and she shuddered.
She came. Again.
Her body went limp, her knees going weak once again at his touch. She opened her eyes then gasped as he crushed his mouth to hers. Their tongues tangled as he pressed deeper, as if he couldn’t get enough of her. He gripped her knee so her leg was up high and draped over his arm.
“Levi?” she asked then screamed his name as he entered her to the hilt in one thrust. He was so fucking big she was sure she’d never felt so full. She winced since it had been a hell of a long time since she’d been with anyone, but before she could fully think about what was going on, he was moving, and she didn’t care that her inner walls were clamping down on him. She wanted to feel him fuck her. She must have been truly out of it if she missed him taking off his pants. Damn it. She’d wanted to see his cock, and now it was too late. He pumped in and out of her, slamming into her with such ferocity that they moved the couch with each thrust.
“Look at us, Faith,” Levi panted. “Look down and see me fucking you. Watch the way my cock slides in and out of you. You like this?” He pumped again. “You want more of this? Just say the word and I’m yours, Faith. Got me?”
She nodded, mesmerized at the sight of his cock filling her. She knew he was large, but seeing him enter her was an experience. He was thick and long, but not too much of either. Just right for what she needed. Again, she wouldn’t dwell on that. She would focus on the man and the sensations.
He gripped her neck, pulling her forward. She wrapped her hand around his wrist then dug her nails into his back with her other hand.
“Kiss me,” she begged. “Fuck me, Levi. Make me come.”
Make me yours
.
He crushed his mouth to hers, his hips picking up the pace. He moved his free hand between them then brushed his thumb over her clit, and that was it. She came once more, clamping around his cock. He pulled back, shouting her name and slamming home once more. The action sent them both over the edge of the couch, him landing on her but still connected.
She let out a laugh then gasped when the bond between them flared once before slamming into a true thread. It was as if what they’d had before had been a pale gray while this one was a vibrant rainbow of color and sensation. She could feel him inside her and near her, feel him in a way she hadn’t thought possible before. She had no idea what it meant or what she’d do with it, but this was something that meant more than a promise, more than an idea of what could happen. Her chest warmed, and her eyes widened as she met his gaze. Levi’s face went from a smile to a look of awe, and she knew there was no going back from this. No matter what happened in the future, no matter if she had to walk away to protect him, she’d never forget this moment, never forget this feeling.
“Faith,” he whispered.
She opened her mouth to speak but froze before she pushed him away. What the hell was going on? Something was wrong and it
hurt
.
“Get off, get off!” He scrambled off her, his still hard cock bouncing against his belly. The look of anguish on his face was like a kick to the stomach, and she stood up, pressing her hand on his chest.
“No. No it’s not that.” She winced, a burning pain slicing down her back. “It’s my back. Fuck. Something’s wrong, Levi.” Tears filled her eyes, but she blinked them away. “What’s wrong with me?”
Levi cursed then turned her around. “You have two bright red lines down your back. Faith, baby, I think you’re growing wings.”
“You’ve got to be kidding me. Wings? The whole paranormal thing. Fuck, I forgot about that.” She looked over her shoulder at a worried Levi. “I was too busy thinking about how good you felt.”
He gave her a small smile then kissed her shoulder. “You felt like paradise, Faith, and we can talk about all of that once we figure out how to help you. Does it still hurt?”
She tried to roll her shoulder then winced again. “Yes. Wings? Really? Am I an angel?” She knew of two angels personally, Shade and Ambrose. They’d be able to help her deal with what it meant to have angelic powers at least. Plus, they were both warrior angels and were pretty badass. She wouldn’t mind being an angel.
Levi pressed around her shoulder blades, and she pulled away from him, her eyes stinging.
“I’m sorry,” he said, his voice low. “I’m trying to figure out if I need to help your wings come out or how.” He cursed under his breath, and Faith bounced from foot to foot. This was so not how she’d pictured her afterglow, but at least she hadn’t passed out like the other girls.
