Page 25 of Choosing Happily Ever After

“But you still have far too many clothes on.” His eyes roamed up and over her body, a move that made her blush from her fingertips all the way down to her toes. But she was far from shy. Especially when it came to Levi.

“I can fix that.” She wanted to rip the rest of her clothes off, toss them over her shoulder and jump on him. But it was with great control that Hope moved slowly, pushing her leggings down her legs. She turned to the side and even did a little shimmy for him, a move that, judging by his reaction, had the desired effect. Still, she wasn’t done. Once her pants were gone, she stood in front of him and reached around to unfasten her bra. But before she undid the clasp, Hope took her time to let her eyes travel up the length on Levi Langdon. He was both familiar and so incredibly unexpected and different that a war of emotions raged through her body.

She, too, was the same, but also so different. Hell, in only a few days, everything had changed and was likely to change even more.

Not now, Hope.She lambasted herself. It was definitely not the time to gothere.

She blinked hard and shook her head, refocusing on the man in front of her. Theverysexy man in front of her. Really, there was no room for thoughts of anything else. Her gaze locked onto his eyes, which were shockingly focused on hers.

“Are you almost done?”

Hope tilted her head. “Done?”

“Done overthinking this.”

She laughed, but it was exactly what she needed. “I’m not overthinking anything.”

“Good.” He grinned and crooked his finger, beckoning her to him. “Because as much as I love looking at you, what I really want is to touch you.”

Her lips twitched up. “Is that right?” Behind her back, she finally moved to unhook her bra. With the slightest shake, she let it fall to the ground.

A sound very much like a low growl came from the back of Levi’s throat. “Oh, that’s right.”

Her panties went next, and just like that, she was done waiting and she was definitely done thinking. She crawled up, onto the bed and over him, and straddled his body. Levi’s arms came up and wrapped tight around her, pulling her down to him.

Their lips met in a kiss that Hope knew right away was different. It was more intense, more passionate…moreeverything.

“I’ve been waiting a long time for this.” Levi’s words came out in a gruff breath. He’d only been back in town a few weeks, but instantly Hope knew what he was talking about.

She’d been waiting too. For years.

Their bodies moved together, their hands exploring the bodies they’d each known, and learning them all over again with touch and kisses.

When finally her impatience got the best of her, Hope wiggled against him. His hands slipped down her body until they came to rest on her hips, but Hope had other plans. She pressed up on his chest, lifting herself just a little before slowly lowering herself down onto his hard cock. She moved slowly, but still, having him inside her took her breath away. Levi froze beneath her, letting Hope grow used to him. He waited as her body quickly adjusted and she once more started moving.

“Damn, woman. You are…”

“Oh, I know.” She threw her head back and laughed. But a moment later, the laughter died on her lips as her body was completely taken over by a wild tingling feeling that started deep in her core. She clenched her muscles and squirmed but Levi held her firm as a second later, the orgasm she hadn’t been expecting crashed through her.

It took her a few moments to come back to herself, but when she once again opened her eyes, Levi was looking up at her, his eyes full of lust and…

“That was—”

“I’m sorry.” She cut him off. “I don’t know how…”

Levi’s face grew serious. “Never apologize for that. It was probably the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen.”

She probably would have blushed a little, except for his next comment. “Except, of course, looking at you right now up there, your hair all mussed, that satisfied smile on your face, knowing I put it there…damn,thatmight be the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen.”

She shook her head, but he stopped her.

“Really, Hope. It is.” He fixed her with a serious look, but then grinned as he added, “But now I really want to see which is sexier.”

“Which, what?”

In answer, he wrapped one arm around her, and with strength he certainly hadn’t had when they were younger, flipped them easily so he was now on top of her. He began to move inside her once more. “It’s hard to choose,” he said. “I like you both ways. A lot.”

“Less talking.” She reached up for him and pulled him down to her lips. “More kissing.”
