Chapter 32
Levi
I was exhausted, burnt the fuck out, and nothing, absolutely nothing in this world could’ve prepared me for the dopamine high that came from walking through my front door and finding God’s gift to me straddling my brother in the living room.
“Levi!” Tessa shrieked as she launched herself off both my brother and the couch, leaping straight into my arms, and wrapping herself around me as if I’d been gone on deployment for several months.
Dropping my suitcase to the floor, I glanced over her shoulder at my brother, who was crossing his arms over his chest as he arched a brow, zeroing in on me with a look of ‘are you fucking kidding me’ written across his face.
“Really, Levi? The fucking Temptations outfit?” Lucas huffed, failing to hide his broad smile, and I grinned with a shrug in response, holding my girl tightly. I buried my face in the crook of Tessa’s neck, letting her steal every pressing thought and stressful feeling from me.
This was exactly what I fucking needed. Someone like her to come home to after a long work trip. To smother myself in a woman who felt more like home than the penthouse itself.
“Can’t say she doesn’t like it, brother.” I taunted with a playful wink.
“Shut up, you wore it on purpose.”
“You’d have done the same thing, don’t deny it,” I lightheartedly called him out, and Lucas shook his head in amusement as he sprawled himself out along the cushions. “See…”
“Yeah, yeah. Welcome home.” He chuckled, grabbing the remote and turning his attention to the TV. He knew what was up the moment I crossed the threshold—my turn.
“As for you, I could use a few hours alone with my babygirl.”
“Are you—are you sure?” Tessa twisted her upper body to peer back at Lucas as he settled in on the couch and had already started scrolling through channels for something to watch.
“If you think me sitting out here while you two knowingly fuck in the bedroom is going to be a problem, then you’re about to have ninety-nine more of those in the coming week alone, princess.”
“Order pizza!” I shouted over my shoulder as I carried my girl down the hall and into my room.
“On it,” Lucas replied right before I kicked the door shut behind us—finally.
I didn’t waste any time pushing Tessa up against the wall. Leaning all of my weight into her, I buried my face in the crevice of her neck—the primal fervor to escape into this woman was consuming every fiber of my being.
“Levi!” She giggled with a moaned squeal, scrunching her nose as I nipped at her soft and delicate skin, my dick straining against the seams of my zipper. God damn, I needed her like I needed fucking oxygen to survive.
“Miss me, babygirl?” I purred, sliding my hand between her thighs and palming her warm cunt, the fabric of her underwear already beginning to dampen from her excitement. “I’ll take that as a yes.”
“You can take all of it.” Tessa breathed against my lips as she pulled my hair and claimed my mouth with hers. At least my brother didn’t wear her out too much before I arrived; hopefully, she’ll be able to keep up with the two of us and our ravenous libidos.
“And I absolutely intend to, babygirl.” A growl settled in my throat as I pushed her panties aside and slid a finger in, hearing a gasp pass her lips as it reached the last knuckle. “I can’t wait to fill this perfect pussy up. To feel you wrapped around me like the chokehold you are.”
Pulling my finger back out, I teased her clit, gently placing a little extra pressure against the lower nerves, feeling her hips tilt and buck. Tessa whimpered, grinding herself on the pads of my fingers, her nails now digging into my scalp as she started to get herself worked up.
“Too much? Or more?” I whispered, teasing both her and her greedy cunt with minimal effort. It was all her, using me as she should, here for her explicit pleasure.
“Enough talking… more fucking... Please, Levi.”
I chuckled at her desperation, her plea as I adjusted my grip to free my cock from my jeans and drove it straight home, wrapping Tessa’s legs around my waist as I held her pinned against the wall and started sensually guiding my hips into hers.
Every moan extracted from her chest was long, lustful, and consuming. Driving me to the brink of insanity as I fought off all the words I wanted to say, but was too afraid of the vulnerability that came with them.
I may have fallen faster than I should have, but I could feel my guard wavering with every penetrating thrust and breathless cry that passed her sweet, sinful lips.
Pulling her from the wall, I took slow steps back, collapsing onto my bed within a few short strides when I felt the edge meet the back of my legs, bringing Tessa down with me.
“Why don’t you take me for a ride, babygirl. I want to see what it looks like when you’re given control.”
I placed my palms on the side of her thighs, giving Tessa the freedom to move in any way that gave her the pleasure and high she craved.
There was no questioning or hesitation in her quick switch in position. My girl fell into her own rhythm almost instantaneously, grinding on my cock and shifting her hips for friction.
Reaching up, I massaged her clit with my thumb, and she shuddered, her moans growing louder as she found precisely what she needed to send herself over the edge.
As her body tensed, nearing its peak, Tessa dropped forward and gripped onto the sheets beside my head.
With strained breaths, her pace slowed like she was riding a gentle wave.
“It’s okay, babygirl…” I breathed through a thick swallow as I realized why she had slowed—why she was now staring down at me as if she was stuck in a euphoric dream. Tessa’s eyes said everything she was thinking, and I could read her almost as well as my brother.
“Is it? Is it really?” Her hands tightened into fists as she continued to fight with herself. Letting someone in was one thing, but I understood what she was struggling to accept.
“Tell me this doesn’t feel right,” I groaned, rolling my hips in time with hers, before wrapping my hand around the back of her neck and pulling her face down, our breaths mingling, and she stopped moving entirely.
“Look me in the eyes and tell me that this isn’t what you’ve been searching for, babygirl.
Because I feel like I’ve waited my entire life for you.
” Whether she wanted to admit it to herself or not, I was all in now.
“You make it hard to breathe the second you enter a room. Your intoxicating smell drives me wild like a pheromone, and your touch… your touch is a comfort I’ve craved for so fucking long. ”
I’ve never fallen in love with a woman like this—at maximum velocity; so hard and so fucking fast.
“You two…” Tessa shook her head, laughing lightly, then blew out a breath as she bit her lip, and a smile tugged at her lush lips. “You’re something else, you know that? So unexpected. So raw. I don’t think I’ll ever understand how two incredible catches remained single this long…”
“I could say the same for you,” I murmured, giving her whatever time she needed to process through her emotions.
“I got hurt, and then I became picky…” She forced out a breath, her body relaxing over me as her eyes drifted away, and she fell into her mind while chewing on the inside of her lip.
“So did we, and look where that landed us.” I placed my knuckle under her chin, bringing it back to face me.
“With you… We’re perfect for each other, babygirl.
” Dragging my thumb across her lower lip, I melted into her deep-sea gaze, feeling my heart beat against my chest and a rush of warmth consume my entire body.
“And I’ll show you every ounce of truth behind that sentiment.
” I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it a million more times over the course of our lifetime together.
Tessa is the one, now and forever. “And if that’s enough to put my feelings for you into perspective, how about you finish coming on my cock like a good girl so I can make love to you for the rest of the night.
” I rocked my hips, reminding her that I was still seated deep between her thighs.
“Fill you with more than just words of fierce devotion and commitment.”
“The fact that you can flip a heartfelt moment right back to fucking is a talent, do you know that? You’d make a fine actor.”
“I don’t need to act around you.” Switching our positions, I rolled us to pin Tessa on the bed, taking her hands in mine as I interlaced our fingers and slid them along the sheets until they were resting above her head.
“Not when you make my life feel more like a dream.” I nuzzled my way into the side of her neck, curling my hips as I tightened my grip on her hands. “Just don’t ever wake me.”
Tessa moaned softly against my ear as I changed my mind and dismantled my boundaries, allowing myself to give her everything I had held back. Feeding her the intimacy I had protected and reserved in an effort to save myself from inevitable heartbreak.
“Levi… Don’t ever leave me…” Her breathy moan sent a shiver down my spine as I felt the weight of her words interlock our souls. I could never leave her; she was my life raft after a devastating shipwreck.
“I wouldn’t dare. You’ve done something unfathomable to me, and I’d be nothing more than lost at sea without you.” The lighthouse that guided me back.
When she came, it wasn’t violent or earth-shattering. The experience of feeling a woman surrendering all of herself to you was indescribable. It was like feeling fireworks without the danger. Consuming Pop Rocks but feeling the sensation across your entire body instead of just in your mouth.
Following my babygirl with a release of my own, I saw so much more than stars dancing across my vision. I saw a radiance and glow that could only belong to her.
She was heaven and hell all rolled into one—both damning and a savior for my darkened soul that has been trapped in limbo until now.
Tessa was my fucking home.
