His warmth and strength were just as intoxicating as his kisses.Missy could completely understand how any woman would fall for him.
But she knew she couldn’t be one of them, and with regret she turned to face him.
“I’ll get in my PJs while you go see what the sheriff wants,” she said, trying to seem casual while standing completely satiated and vulnerable in front of him.
Levi leaned down, his wet hair mussed and a boyish grin on his face.
“Will you bail me out if I get arrested?”His hands reached for her hips, and he pulled her close to place kisses along her shoulder.
“I don’t really like to get involved in family drama.”
“Is that right?Well, I’ll remember that when Gran tells me not to let you out of my sight and you try to give me the brush-off again.”
“Is that what this was?Are you keeping your eye on me because your grandmother asked you to?”she asked, feeling an inkling of annoyance and turning to walk away.But Levi was quick to grip her hips and stood behind her, pulling her into his warmth.
“No, this was about me not being able to stop thinking about you since the moment I met you.Being unable to resist you and wanting to taste every inch of you.Which I think was what you wanted too?”His mouth found her throat and he kissed her as his hand splayed along her flat abdomen.
“Emm…so you were just doing what I wanted.Very accommodating.”She pushed her bare bottom back into his already hard cock.“I’ll remember that if I invite you into my bed again.”
He groaned, and his brother called his name again.
“I’m coming down—one sec,” he called out.“If I can get rid of him fast I’ll join you in that bed.”
“Promises, promises,” she said and walked toward her room.She didn’t lock the door but also didn’t expect him to actually climb into bed with her to sleep.Even if it sounded like the best idea she’d ever heard.
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
Levi
A Bad Sign
“No, I haven’tseen any of this BS reporting—more like lies,” Levi said, tossing a Savannah newspaper down on the kitchen table.
There was a picture of him and Sara Baxter, his teammate’s ex-girlfriend and his college friend.It looked like they were about to kiss, but in actuality they had been arguing in that photo some paparazzi had snapped.But it was the headline that was really disturbing.
Which Baller is the Baby Daddy?
“It’s all over the news, social media, and probably on ESPN by now.”
“What the hell?”Levi said, running his hand through his hair.
“Could it be yours?”Wesley asked.
“I mean we slept together, once.I used protection, but…”
“The entire town is talking about it.You need to figure out if you’re going to be a father or not, and fast.Ideally before Gran finds out.”
“Thanks a lot, Captain Obvious.”
Levi’s phone dinged on the kitchen counter and when he looked he had dozens of messages.Word was definitely out.
“Doesn’t your publicist usually handle this kind of thing, give you a warning, and get out in front of it?”
He sighed and sat down.“I don’t have a team.I fired my agent, so I have no publicist.”
“So they just throw you to the wolves to let you deal with this?”Wesley asks.
“Or they are the wolves.I mean you gotta admit it’s kind of perfect.I won’t sign their contract and play their part so they smear my name.Just when I’m looking to have my new, unheard-of agent find me a new deal.”
