“I didn’t know who you were or what resume I was even looking at. I just wanted you. I was offering you the job. I fell in love with you. Not some Nichole or whatever,” he tells me, and a sense of relief washes over me.
Then his words catch up to me, and I freeze.
“Wait,” I say, looking up at his handsome face. “You love me?”
TWELVE
Levi
“Of course I do,”I tell her gently.
I can see the hope shining in her pretty purple eyes, and I cradle her face in my hands as I stare down at her.
“I think I’ve been in love with you from that first moment.”
“Me too,” she whispers, and my heart soars.
“Say it,” I beg her, and she smiles sweetly.
“I love you, Levi.”
My lips crash down on hers in an instant. I want to ask her to say that again. I want to feel her whispering those three words against my skin, branding me as hers, but it’s been too long since I’ve kissed her.
My heart finally feels whole for the first time in days, and I hold her closer to me. It’s like I need the reminder that she’s really here.
Her soft curves press against me, and I moan against her mouth. Her fingers tighten on my arms before they slide up and she wraps her arms around my neck. She’s clinging to me, just as desperate to be with me as I am to be with her.
Fuck, I’ve missed this. I’ve missed her.
She pulls away, sucking in air, and I start to kiss my way down her neck.
“I love you, Pia,” I say in between kisses.
She tilts her head back, giving me more access to her flawless skin.
“Levi,” she moans, letting out a gasp as I nip at her skin.
“God, I love hearing you say my name like that, baby.”
“Levi,” she moans again, and I swear I almost come in my pants.
I’m desperate to have her, but we need to clear the air first before I claim her as mine. I need to make sure that we’re on the same page about our future together before we go any further.
We pull apart, both of us breathing heavily, and I keep my grip tight on her.
“I’m sorry that I quit. I just… I was so afraid that you would hate me for lying to you,” she tells me, and I tuck a loose strand of her hair behind her ear.
“I could never hate you. To be honest, I never even looked at the resume until I had to say your name. I couldn’t take my eyes off of you.”
It’s a relief to be honest with her. I held myself and my feelings back, worried that I would scare her off if I came on too strong, but she seemed to love it. She’s just as into me as I am in her, and it’s fucking amazing.
“I didn’t lie about anything else, though,” she tells me, and I smile.
“I know. You’re too good to do that. I only wish that you had said something earlier. I hate to think that you’ve been stressed about this.”
“I just, I couldn’t lose that job. I needed the money,” she tells me.
“For what?” I ask, and she looks away from me, pulling out of my arms slightly.
