Levi frowns, staring at the offending paddle on the desk. “Your grandmother left when you passed out, and told me to take care of you. I think she shocked herself with her cruelty. Regardless, you’re staying with me tonight, Little Sinner. I need to take care of you, atone for what I did to you.”

I open my mouth to tell him I understand that he didn’t have a choice, but he shakes his head, as if reading my mind. “There’s always a choice,” he rasps, kissing my forehead.

Taking the back passageways, we are soon at Levi’s apartment. I spend the night cuddled in bed with him, after he applied arnica cream to the bruises already beginning to appear.

Levi chuckles as he touches the waistband of the boxers I’m wearing, because I’m too sore to wear anything else. “I really like you wearing my clothes, Little Sinner,” he mumbles, kissing my forehead. I fall asleep to the sound of his heartbeat, happy to not be alone.

Chapter27

Iwake up from the best night's sleep I've had in a long time, and snuggle closer to Levi's chest. He groans in his sleep and wraps me tighter to him. I sigh and press a kiss to his cool flesh. I'm naked from the waist up, and so is he.

“I could get used to this,” he grumbles and I smile. I could too, but I know this is only temporary. He's a priest, though I don't think he's as serious about his vow as the others. He drinks, swears, and fucks. All the sins that would send him to Hell, but he doesn't seem to care. It makes me wonder why he's here at Holy Cross. Though now I know about the Society, I have a feeling it’s related.

His hands wander as he slowly rolls me onto my back, hovering over top of me. He’s hard, and when he presses his cock to my center, I shiver. My butt is still raw, and the added pain has me wishing he would touch me more. I sigh and spread my legs a little wider, giving him more room. I’m wearing a pair of his boxers that he loaned to me last night. My underwear became unbearable as it rubbed along the marks from the paddle.

He gives me a smirk as I wiggle my hips. “What are you doing, Little Sinner?” he grumbles, in his sleepy tone, and I giggle when he starts to kiss down my throat. He needs to shave, but the scruff isn’t unpleasant.

“Do you ever picture the future?” I ask him shyly. I’m not inquiring about us, just in general. With my past and my trauma, I didn’t think I’d have a future until this man and my guys came into my life, and pulled me from the darkness. Even if things never play out between us, I’ll always thank them for saving me.

He goes quiet and rests his forehead against my racing heart. His arms slide underneath me and he holds me tight. “I never did until I met you,” he confesses quietly, and tears prick behind my eyes. “The Society was always meant to be my life. I’m a legacy. I assume you know I’m not a real priest by now.” He chuckles against my breast, and a small moan escapes my lips.

“Ugh… Yeah… I kinda thought, maybe,” I stutter out. What he’s doing is making it really hard for me to think.

He pulls his mouth away and stares into my eyes. “You’re still an enigma to me, Chastity. But, at this point, I don’t care if you never confess your secrets to me. You buried yourself deep and only a sacrificial blade will be able to take you from me.” I gasp as he kisses me hard and pulls my butt closer to him, grinding into me. I whimper against his lips and he groans, tangling his tongue with mine. I never knew kissing could feel like this.

All consuming and dangerous. All the boys kiss me like I’m a treasure to them that they will guard with their lives, and it makes me feel cherished for the first time in a long time, but I also feel guilty.

Levi may say he never wants my secrets, but I know some day, the truth will be revealed, and if I don’t lose them at that moment, it won’t take long for them to pull away from me. I know Ash is struggling to keep Angel from Bast and Jonas, and he shouldn’t have to lie to his family.

I need to tell them the truth. I just pray I don’t lose them. I don’t think I could survive without these amazing guys in my life.

“Hey, baby, why are you crying?” Levi asks, pulling away a little so he can hold my cheek and wipe away my fallen tears with his thumb. I take in a shuddering breath and get lost in his blue gaze.

Eyes that once held me captive in fear, now all I see is love shining back. Love that I don’t deserve. I lean up and kiss him again, ignoring that our cheeks are wet, or the salt in our mouths. He groans and rolls away from me as I lie beside him and try to catch my breath.

“We need to get up. The guys will be here soon to plan for their first trial. Are you sure you don’t want them to know you volunteered to be their Eve?” He turns to face me and pushes some of my messy hair behind my ear. I nod, biting my bottom lip and he groans.

“It’s really unfair how gorgeous you are, Chastity Cross,” he groans, looking at my naked skin, then shoves the blankets off from his bed and kisses me one more time before heading towards the bathroom.

I climb out of his bed and pad barefoot to his kitchen. I grab the shirt he was wearing last night that's hanging over the arm of the chair, and move to the kitchen to cook us some breakfast.

He joins me as I'm plating the eggs I whipped up, and kisses the side of my throat with a groan.

“I could really get used to this,” he growls. I moan as his hands trail under his shirt and slip into his boxers that I’m still wearing. I'm wet for him, and he soon finds out.

“So naughty. Getting wet for your priest. In a church, for that matter. I should punish you. Take you over this counter and smack that sweet little pussy of yours.”

I whimper as he plays with my clit and tells me everything he wants to do to me. I know this is wrong, the way he’s talking to me, but it feels so right.

A knock on the door has Levi stopping with a groan. I laugh and continue plating up the meal I made as he lets Bastian, Ash, and Jonas inside. They come over and give me a kiss each until I'm panting and wishing that Levi would drop down between my thighs and lick me as my guys continue to make me melt with their lips.

Woah!I don’t know where that thought came from, but I don’t hate the idea.

I pull back and take in a few breaths as Jonas kisses my neck and rubs my hip, grinding me into his hard cock. “Our eggs are getting cold.” I groan as Bastian tweaks my hard nipple through the soft fabric of Levi's shirt.

“I don't know how much longer I can keep my vow with you wearing so little,” Bast groans and I laugh. Levi comes over and rips me away from them, then leads me to the seat next to his.

“You guys can wait a few more weeks. You're almost in the second stage. Then you can fuck each other stupid.” I pause at that, and Levi shoots me a wink.
