“Neither one of us is looking for something permanent.” I wanted…needed another kiss from Levi. “But what if I want some small part of…this?”

In case there was still any question, I licked my lips.

He cupped my chin. “What part?”

“You.”

With a slow grin, his hands settled on my hips and in one swift move he pulled me flush against him. Every inch of me in close contact with his body. Close. So close. He thrust one powerful leg between my thighs and kissed me. Not shy, and not at all tenderly or with any hint of hesitation. Instead, his plundering and madly wicked tongue promised me a wild ride. His hand slid down my back to cup my behind and lift me to him. I kept kissing him, over and over again, unable to break away.

He tasted so good I almost forgot that I wasn’t quite dressed for seduction. I’d walked over here wearing a Green Day T-shirt that had seen better days and my old and faded jeans. Not exactly the outfit I’d love to wear to seduce a man. But right now, right here, Levi was all I needed. Wanted. I wasn’t going to think about anything else. Not RockYourBaby, not Grace, not our fake engagement and not New York. Nothing but this moment.

No one gets hurt.

I broke the kiss. Hands wrapped around his powerful neck, I gazed into warm blue eyes. “Levi.”

“Yeah, babe.”

“Let’s not stop this time.”

I wrapped my legs around his hips, wanting to climb him like a monkey. I buried my face in his neck, licking him while he carried me into the bedroom. When he tossed me on the bed, I bounced and rolled on my back. A quick glance around the room, and I noted the baby monitor on the nightstand. But no worries that Grace would interrupt them tonight. No, I had him all to myself.

When Levi pulled off the gray sweatshirt he’d been wearing, I stared at his incredible, hard body, a little awestruck by him.

“I’ve wanted to do this for a while.” He chucked the shirt to the side.

A little humiliated about my lack of sexy lingerie, I quickly tugged off my jeans and T-shirt, hoping the lack of push-up bra didn’t matter. Nope, I didn’t have the sexiest choices tonight. No bra, push-up or otherwise, and I wore light blue panties with pink hearts.

His gaze swept over me, and he groaned.

I went for my panties to remove them before he noticed they were whimsical and not at all sexy, but then noticed that he wasn’t moving. Just staring. “What are you looking at?”

“You. Just you.”

I sucked in a breath. Levi wanted me, just the way I was right now, lack of sexy lingerie included. And a moment later, when he pulled off his boxer briefs, I saw firsthand how much he wanted me. He was gorgeous, hard man.

“This isn’t going to be fast,” he said with a lazy smile. “Or easy.”

CHAPTER21

Carly

The room buzzedwith an almost unnatural quiet. So quiet I could just about hear the hum of the refrigerator in the kitchen. And I could almost hear my body as it vibrated. Purred. Fully awake. I’d never been so turned on by a man in my entire life and I didn’t want to stop. Not now.

Or ever. I wanted him inside of me, making me feel something again. I’d missed this. Being so close to a man. Connected. He was Mr. Right Now, and I didn’t want to think about anything else. I felt protected. So wanted for the first time in…forever.

Levi crawled up my body, covering me with openmouthed kisses. Knees, inner thighs, stomach, breasts. And everywhere he touched shook with warmth. With need.

He cupped my jaw and met my gaze. “You okay?”

“Yes. I’m good.”

“I want you, Carly.” Without waiting for my answer, he tugged on my earlobe hard enough to make me moan.

He reached between my thighs to touch me right in the middle of all my hot, damp need, then gave me an easy smile.

“And you want me, too.”

No use arguing there, since my body had spoken for me, but oh, boy, he was so confident. And correct. I didn’t answer, but bucked against him, making him groan.
