EROS
“ E ros.” Lev stands with her hands on her hips, glaring at me as I set her bags down inside my walk-in closet. “You don’t have a spare room, really?”
“I never said that I did.”
“Oh, don’t play innocent. You conveniently left that part out. So you just think I’m going to share a bed with you?”
“Now hold on.” I smirk. “Don’t be getting any ideas. You gotta ask for it before you get it,” I remind her.
“You know what?” She narrows her eyes at me, and I relish the fact that I’m about to get a tongue-lashing from her.
“No, but I reckon you’re going to tell me, darling.”
“Don’t even lay that damn drawl of yours on me.” Her hand drops from her hips. “Fine, we can share a bed, but only because I enjoy watching movies in bed and I had a lot of fun the other night. Not to mention this bed is massive and looks like a big cloud of comfort and warmth. Those are the only reasons I’m agreeing to this.”
“I promise to make sure you have fun every night you’re in bed with me.”
“What the hell am I going to do with you?” Her words go straight to my dick. There are plenty of things I can say right now, but she’s not ready to hear them.
“Anything you want.” Lev’s smile grows brighter, giving me what I’m after. It kills me when that sadness creeps into her eyes. I’ll say and do whatever I have to to take it away. I clear the space between us.
Lev doesn’t stop me or protest when I lift her by the hips and sit her on the tall island in the center of my closet. Our closet now. It brings her so that she is eye level with me. I step between her thighs, getting as close to her as I can. Her lilac smell teases me.
“You want to be in here with me, or do you really want your own room?” Even though I want her in my bed more than my next breath, ultimately I need her to feel safe and comfortable. For the decision to be hers no matter what. Lev starts to speak, but I keep going. “Not what you think you should want. What you truly want.” Lev presses her lips together.
“I wasn’t lying when I said I had fun the other night.”
“Then you’re staying in here.”
“I’m staying in here,” Lev agrees.
Thank fuck. I might get some sleep tonight if I have her back in my arms. Last night was pure hell.
I’m starting to see that a firm push goes a long way with Lev. It’s not about taking over because I want her with me and doing what I think is best for her. It's about involving her in the process and letting her know that it's what she wants too, and there's nothing wrong with taking what you want.
“You hungry?” I ask, trying to take my focus off of her mouth. I want to taste her again, but it’s been a long night for her.
“Starving.” Her stomach decides to let out an adorable little growl at that exact moment.
“I’ll go order us something to eat while you get settled in a bit. My house is your house. Make yourself at home.” I mean that on a much deeper level, but she’s not ready to hear any of that yet. I plan on being her one true home forever.
“It’s the middle of the night. You DoorDashing something?” she asks.
“I guess you could consider it that. But we have an in-house twenty-four-hour-a-day food service. They’ll make anything and everything your little heart desires whenever it desires it.” Her eyes light up at that.
“So what you’re saying is there are unlimited movie snacks and appetizers? Am I hearing this correctly?”
“That’s what I’m saying.” I can’t help but raise my hand to cup her cheek. I love seeing her like this. Carefree.
“If that’s the case, I may never leave this place.” I want to tell her that's the plan, but once again I hold back. The urge to kiss her rides me hard, her lips so close, her smile so bright. But even though it feels like it’s going to kill me, I resist. She needs to be the one to initiate it.
“Meet you back in the living room when you’re ready.” I lean down, placing a kiss on her forehead before I exit the closet.
I go about placing an order for a ridiculous amount of food, unsure of what exactly it is that she’ll want. In time I’ll get to know all of her likes and dislikes, but for now, I’m winging it. I make sure to get a bunch of appetizers, popcorn, movie candy, and whatever else I think will make her happy. Soon enough, Lev will see that I will go to any measures to make sure she’s taken care of.
I stand up from the couch where I've been waiting for her when I hear her come in. Lev is now in a pair of loose red sleep shorts and a shirt that matches. With her dark eyes and dark hair, everything looks sexy on her.
“The food will be here shortly. In the meantime I found some movies we could watch, or we can do reality TV. I remember you saying that watching reality TV is one of your vices.”
As spectacular as it had been that first night we spent together watching movies, and I could touch her, I enjoy the fuck out of talking to her. Learning all the small things that add up to who she is.
“It is.” I motion for her to come to me. “I don’t know why I feel a bit shy all of a sudden,” Lev admits when she makes it to me, placing her hands on my chest.
“No need to be shy. Is there anything I can do to help?” I want her to relax and be comfortable here. I’m up against the clock. That clock is Gabriella and Caleb getting back from their honeymoon.
Lev licks her lips, drawing my attention there. All of her makeup is gone, her hair piled on top of her head in a wild bun.
“I keep thinking you’re going to kiss me.”
“I won’t unless you ask.” I can give her that. I don’t want to. Kissing her is all I have been able to think about since I saw her again.
“Maybe I’m asking.” I don’t ask if she’s sure. I take possession of her mouth. Lev pushes her small body against mine. My hands go to her ass to lift her off her feet. Lev wraps her legs around me, and I kiss the hell out of her.
She starts to wiggle against me. The same as she did that first night. I break the kiss. “Don’t stop,” she says the second I let her mouth go. That’s music to my fucking ears cause the last thing I want to do is take my mouth off hers.
“You need to come, darling?”
“The ache, take it away.”
I move, pinning her to the couch and kissing her mouth once more. This time I want more than her pussy rubbing against my cock. I need to taste her.
I trail my mouth down her neck. “Eros,” Lev moans, lifting her hips, trying to rub her pussy on me.
“You be still.” I grab her hips, pinning them down. Her eyes flare with desire. “Let me take care of you.” Her mouth parts, but no words come out, and she gives a small nod.
I release my hold on her hips to slip my fingers into the top of her shorts, making sure I get her panties too, pulling them down her legs.
“Fucking hell.” I groan, taking in her perfect little peach. It’s glistening with her tiny clit peeking through the folds of her pussy begging for attention. “See, Lev, a pussy this perfect needs someone to eat it every night.” I lean down, settling in between her thighs. I can see a blush spread across her cheeks. Lev is more innocent than she lets on.
“Eros.” She sinks her teeth into her bottom lip.
“I need a taste, but I have a feeling I’m going to be addicted.” I know without a doubt I will be. The same way I am to her already. This will only seal her fate more. I run my finger through her slick folds. “You want me to lick you, darling?” I press on her clit, making her hips jerk. I need Lev to get used to my touch, to crave it.
“Please.” The word comes out a whisper. She watches me, waiting, her eyes hooded by desire.
“All you gotta do is ask,” I remind her. I'm moving closer to her pussy. I can smell her sweet neediness. I part the folds of her pussy, giving me full access to her clit. My mouth waters to get my first taste.
“Lick me, Eros.” My eyes lock with hers. “Make me come.” I swear her brazen words filled with confidence make me come a little.
“I’m going to taste your innocence,” I say before I cover her pussy with my mouth, getting my first taste of her sweet sticky juice. Lev’s hips buck up, and I use my forearm to pin them back down and keep her in place as I keep eating her pussy, wanting her juices all over my face to wear.
“Eros.” She moans my name. I slip my tongue down farther, doing exactly what I told her I was going to do, thrusting it into her tight, unused hole as I’d expected. The innocence she tries to hide from the world is right there for me to taste before I return to her clit.
I run my tongue back and forth, swiping her clit to prolong this for a few more seconds, not wanting it to end, but I can’t keep her aching. Not when I can take it away from her.
I latch my mouth around her clit and suck, my tongue flicking back and forth. My dick leaks precum into my pants. My cock and balls are aching right along with her.
Lev screams my name, her legs shaking as the orgasm sweeps over her. I don’t stop. I make sure to savor every moment of pleasure with her until her legs begin to tighten around my head. The sensation is too much for her to take.
In time, she’ll get used to it. My life’s goal is to always keep her happy. She just has to let me.
