“Oh you most definitely should, and I will.”
He began to unbutton her oversized paint-stained shirt to reveal the tank top she’d managed to put on that morning.No bra or thick fabric to hide her hard dark-hued nipples from his view in the sunny kitchen.
“Emm…see?Magic.Your beauty is otherworldly.”His mouth dipped to cover one of her nipples over the fabric of the thin tank top and she was rocked with desire.
“You’re the one using all your talents on me.”She let her shirt fall to the floor.Then worked her one good hand into his hair as his mouth teased her other nipple.
“This is the best conversation I’ve ever had,” Levi said, before his mouth found hers again, and one of his hands slid down the front of her loose-fitted jeans.He cupped her heat, and she could feel the wet pooling before he even really touched her.Her core was throbbing for him.
Then the sound of a car door shutting seeped into the quiet of the world around them.
She moved her hands to his shoulders and then flinched in pain, having forgotten about her injury.
“Damn, who is that?”Levi said, taking her wrists in his hands.“Are you okay?”
She nodded fighting through the pain of her tender hand.Even wrapped in gauze it ached now.
When there was a knock at the front door, Levi picked up her shirt from the floor, and held it open for her to slip back on.Then he did three buttons to cover her back up.
“I bet it’s Brooke, to come check on my hand,” she said.
“I’ll go get the door, but when she leaves, we are going to keep talking,” he said with one more kiss on her mouth.
She watched as he adjusted himself, so it wasn’t obvious what they’d been doing and then strode to the door with his shirt off.She knew exactly what Brooke would say.And less than a minute later it was confirmed when Brooke walked in with her cheeks tinged pink and she gave Missy thewhat the heck is he doing walking around shirtless forlook.
“Missy, how are you feeling today?Dalton said you were in quite a bit of pain yesterday.”
She greeted Brooke with a big hug.They’d known each other for years.Brooke had been one of Daria’s best friends, and Daria had married Declan in a whirlwind romance when he’d returned to Sandy Point after the army.Daria had been like the sister Missy had never had and always needed.Her death was the first time Missy ever really lost someone who had loved her as much as she loved them.Then a few years later her Aunt Honey had died, and Missy thought she’d had enough loss to last a lifetime.
Brooke made sure to check in on her in law school and they would get together every time Missy visited home.When she moved back, she made sure to check on Missy even more.Brooke was the only one who knew everything that had happened away at school.
“Yesterday was bad, but actually today I finally painted again, and I haven’t needed the pain meds yet.”
“Well that’s a great sign.The skin healing and regrowth can be slow going and painful when it tightens or gets bumped.So you need to still take all the same precautions and protect this hand.”
“At least I didn’t reinjure it today, but I’ll be honest I’m not looking forward to this cleaning.”
“Do you want to take the meds beforehand?”
“Let’s try it without,” Missy said.
Levi reappeared with a fresh T-shirt on and proceeded to pull out all the supplies Dalton had left for them.Then he busied himself making a few sandwiches, but once Brooke had Missy’s hand unwrapped and was ready to wash it under the sink, Levi was there to hold her other hand.It didn’t hurt as much today, but she still gripped his hand tight and appreciated his soothing words of encouragement.
Once the hard part was done, Brooke sat with her at the table and Levi set two glasses of water down, as well as a plate full of sandwich squares and some fruit for them.
“I’m just going to shower while you two finish up,” Levi said and then gave her a wink from behind Brooke’s back.
Once he was gone Brooke stopped focusing on Missy’s hand.
“Um, did I interrupt something when I arrived?I tried texting to let you know I was on my way.”
“No, I was just finishing up with the paint and trying to fix a sandwich.”
“Oh and Levi just walks around sweaty and shirtless to help you out?”
Missy couldn’t help but laugh and blush.“He’d been out for a run and had just gotten back when I was making my lunch.”
“I think he planned on having you for lunch, and I better get outta here fast so you can get back to that.If that’s what you want too?”
