8. Epilogue - Scarlett
Five months later
Levi kisses my neck, reaching around to place his hand against my lower stomach affectionately.
Aww, that's sweet. But I want sexy. Right now.
I wiggle my butt against him.
"Scarlett," he growls playfully in my ear. "If you get me hard right now, I'm going to have to walk across the lobby like I have a limp."
I shrug impishly. "Should have thought of that before you knocked me up and got me all horny." In truth, I'm only about nine weeks pregnant and not any hornier than before, but I love teasing him.
The night Levi proposed, we didn't come out of the hotel room for almost twenty-four hours. Luckily, Miranda and Cole couldn’t have cared less about us skipping the end of the reception, or the day after brunch. They said their night was perfect, and that included knowing their best friends had finally figured out what everyone else already knew.
I drove back to the city late Sunday afternoon, and when I crossed over Passion Ridge, all I felt was hope and love. The love of my big, strong mountain man waiting to welcome me home in a few weeks. Levi offered to take a few days off work to help me move, but I needed to give two weeks’ notice and wanted to talk to Rachel alone. She was, of course, thrilled for me, and I offered to pay for another month of rent until she got a job, but she wouldn't hear of it. Said she had a good feeling about her interview.
We flew to Vegas during Levi's winter break at the end of December and eloped in the small chapel at Caitlyn's hotel, just the two of us. She was right. The space was dreamy. I have no idea what Vegas looks like outside of our hotel because the combination of black-out drapes and years of repressed desire made for a fun weekend indoors.
Drake still refuses to talk to either of us, but we did get a vase of flowers a few weeks later. Melody delivered them herself, giving me a big hug as she handed me the note that came with the gorgeous bouquet. It said, I hope it works out . We decided it was the best he could do right now.
My parents are thrilled at the prospect of getting grandkids soon, so they didn't mind missing the ceremony. Although, Mom insisted on coming to help once we have kids. Hopefully her schedule is clear in September.
Turns out, lots of unprotected sex can make a baby.
Who knew?
We're taking advantage of an unusually warm weekend in March to recharge in Festival Valley, sneaking in one of three babymoons Levi's insisting upon. Brynn helped us get a great room at her hotel. We're going to hike and forest-bathe, winter be damned.
"Checking in?" the woman at the front desk asks, tucking a strand of dark, curly hair behind her ear. She sneaks a quick glance at the guy in overalls working in the office behind her, and when she turns back to us, her cheeks are flushed. If the steamy looks he's sending her way are any indication, those two have a story. Her name tag reads Celeste. I've been obsessed with names the last few weeks, noting anything and everything to add to our list.
"Yes, Harrison," Levi responds, pulling me closer to him in an attempt to hide his raging hard-on.
My phone vibrates, and I fish it out of my purse. I snort out a laugh and show Levi the texts while we wait to be checked in.
Rachel
Thought my boss was trying to kiss me, but he handed me a tin of coffee instead. Pretty sure I moaned a little.
And I forgot my work shoes, so I was barefoot.
Can I die now?
laughing emoji OMG. I’m sure he didn’t notice.
I really need to stop reading billionaire smut. I’m going to get fired for sexual harassment. cringe face
"Here you are. A royal suite on the fifth floor," Celeste announces with a friendly smile. After she hands us our keys, she turns toward the back office, and then abruptly pivots course, skirting to the end of the counter. Mr. Steamy-Looks chuckles to himself and reaches for a screwdriver.
"Thank you," Levi says, completely oblivious to the meet-cute drama unfolding before us as he drags me and our suitcase over to the elevators. When the doors close behind us, Levi pushes the button for our floor, then backs me against the wall. He kisses up my neck and grinds against my hip.
"Ready to go for a hike?" I tease.
Levi grunts and places my hand on his hard cock. "I plan to hike the trails of your body today, Little Red." Levi groans as I squeeze him, sucking on his neck like we're teenagers. He reaches up to cup my breast through my soft cotton dress and rolls my hard nipple between his fingers until I gasp.
The doors open on our floor, and we stumble out of the elevator, groping each other all the way to our door. I need him naked. Now.
When Levi gets the door open, the beauty of our room stops us in our tracks. Brynn booked us a two-story suite with an incredible view of the valley and the mountain peaks beyond. The huge twenty-foot ceiling living room offers a plush couch and TV, with a huge picture window looking out onto a private patio. A staircase to the right leads up to the second floor.
"We are never leaving this room," Levi says, whistling as he rolls our suitcase into the master. He pulls down the duvet and throws himself back on the king-size bed. I laugh and stare up at the second-floor balcony as I turn in a slow circle. When I stop in the double-door entryway of the master, Levi props himself up on the pillows. The look he gives me makes my core throb with need, and then he crooks his large finger, beckoning me over to him.
"Hiking's overrated anyway," I say, climbing onto the bed and slotting myself between his legs. Levi reaches for me, but I bat his hands away. Reaching for his pants, I unzip them and tug everything down until I've freed his hard cock. The reddish-purple tip weeps for me, and I reach out with my tongue, flicking it forward to savor the salty bead of precum.
Levi's breathing picks up as I lower my mouth around his hard, velvety rod. He moans loudly when I take him into the back of my throat as far as I can go, and I bob on his cock as he writhes beneath me. He doesn't like to thrust into my throat, but if I use my tongue right, I can make him lose all control. It's my favorite game. I scoot forward, using my hand to twist up, as I lick and suck the head of his cock until it's dripping with a mix of precum and saliva.
"Imagine if I tasted like a cherry sucker." Levi groans as I come off his cock with a loud pop.
"You taste better." I grin at him and let him pull me up his body, kissing him deeply. Our tongues war with each other, and Levi's strong ab muscles flex, as he lifts up to pull my dress over my head.
He reaches for my hip, patting around my naked ass and giving me a squeeze with his large hand. I moan, and Levi gives me a deep, throaty chuckle. "No panties again, Little Red?"
I grin against his mouth. "What's the point? I know what I want." His fingers find my dripping core, and he rubs circles on my clit before inserting a thick finger into my already throbbing pussy. I moan, riding his finger, and he plunges another one inside me, making me buck forward and sob out his name.
"You need this, Little Red? You need it right now?" He searches my eyes.
"Yes, right now." I push him back and scramble over his legs to straddle him. I notch his wet cock at my entrance and lock eyes with him as I lower myself slowly onto his hard, thick length. I close my eyes and give in to the sensation with a loud moan.
"Let's get you off, baby," Levi whispers against my skin. "We'll take it slow next time," he promises, and it's like he hits the on switch. I rock against him and grind my clit at the base of his cock. I ride him frantically. The pressure builds quickly as I teeter on the edge.
"Oh, god, I love you," I pant, circling my hips as I try to push myself over the edge.
"Come for me, baby," Levi whispers, kissing my neck and pinching my nipples as he gives me the bite of pain I sometimes need to take me under.
"Yes, oh god, yes." I call out, riding him faster. I chase the sensation and mumble incoherently as it remains infuriatingly out of reach. Sensing my frustration, Levi grabs my waist and rolls me backward onto the bed. He pushes my thighs outward, and I wrap my legs around him, pulling him closer with my heels as he thrusts into me.
His cock rubs against the walls of my throbbing pussy, filling me up as the pressure builds higher and higher, stretching throughout my body with little licks of pleasure.
Levi reaches between us and rubs my clit with tight circles. Watching my face, he flicks me once, twice, and it's all I need. His satisfied smile gives way to a look of pure arousal when I detonate around him, pulsing with pleasure as I come all over his cock.
He calls out my name, thrusting into me and grinding against my core. His face is tight as he releases, snapping his hips into me again and again as he comes, and a second orgasm hits me out of nowhere.
"Oh, yes, yes, yes!" I call out, giving into the second wave as I let it consume me.
When our tremors subside, we slump together. I throw my arms around his back, and we hold each other, catching our breath.
With a groan, Levi rolls to his side and pulls me with him. He gets up and pads to the enormous bathroom, then comes back with a warm wet washcloth.
"The shower is big enough for four," he says, cleaning me up before planting a kiss on my head and then on my lower belly.
I smile at the father of my future children. "I didn't want to invite anyone to join us this early in the relationship, but if you insist."
Levi glares. "I'm not interested in sharing. Ever."
"Caveman." I pretend to pout when he comes back to bed, but he ignores me, pulling the covers over us as he tucks me into his side.
"Remind me to tell you about Anderson's plan for Cole and Miranda's rehearsal dinner sometime," he says sleepily, and I lean back, trying to figure out what that could possibly have to do with cavemen. His eyes remain closed, but he nudges me back to his chest.
I snuggle in, finding the peace I've craved for years with my sexy mountain man in Duhring Park.
