Chapter Sixteen

Levi

I’m up early the next morning with breakfast already done when there’s a knock on my door. I rush to get to it, so it doesn’t wake Tamsin up. It’s the only reason I would have even opened the door to the idiot on the other side. Once I realize who it is, I put my arm up to keep his fucking ass just outside.

He’s got a shit-eating grin on his face that makes me want to punch it off.

“Levi.”

“What do you want, Zane?”

“I just thought you would want to know where I was last night.”

“Why the hell would I care where you were last fucking night?”

Crazy fucker.

“Oh, you’ll care.”

“So, spit it out. Where were you?”

“With your girlfriend.”

“Come again?”

“I was with Tamsin last night, dude. She let me stay the night at her place. And I mean ALL night.”

“You must have been fucking lonely as shit sitting in her apartment all alone.”

“Oh, I wasn’t alone, dumb ass. I was hitting it all night. Seems like your girl is playing you, my man.”

I really need to address the fact that I am not his man. At all. But I swear all I can do is laugh.

“Why are you laughing? What’s funny about this? I just told you Tamsin is cheating on you with me and all you can do is laugh?”

“Yeah, that’s all I can do. Because you are a fucking idiot. You don’t even realize how big of a fucking moron you’ve made yourself, do you? Which is even funnier.”

“What do you mean?”

“Because Tamsin isn’t -and wasn’t- at her apartment last night, ‘my man’.” I use his words back on him. “She was here with me.”

“You think I’m going to believe Tamsin fucking Fairchild is here with you and has been all night long.”

Just at that moment, my girl comes to stand at the handrail of the loft bedroom she’s been sleeping in.

“Levi? Who are you…?”

She sees who I am talking to immediately and there can be no doubt in even the stupidest shit’s mind. She’s got my sheet wrapped around her body with one bare shoulder showing, her hair is circling her head like a halo that screams ‘I got fucked last night’ and her neck has my mark - on both sides. She looks good and fucked.

“What the hell, Tamsin? Did you fuck him?”

“Watch your fucking mouth, you…!”

“You…fucked him but not me?”

I can already tell Tamsin isn’t in the right head space for his shit today. I push him back through the door and shut it right in his face. Would I love to beat his fucking face in? Yeah. But she doesn’t need that right now. I make sure the door is locked before I take the steps up to her two at a time.

“You alright, kitten?”

“I…,” she nods but doesn’t finish what she was about to say.

“You what, baby?” I bend so I can better look into her eyes.

“I thought…you had company.”

“Company?” Who the hell did she think was at my door?

“I should go home.”

“You’re not going anywhere!” Her eyes, avoiding me until now, fly to mine. “Until you eat something, and we get that door fixed. I already made breakfast. I was about to wake you when that asshole knocked.”

“I don’t want to keep you from…anything.”

“Like what?”

She doesn’t answer me. I take her by the chin and turn her face up, so she has no choice but to look at me. I could leave well enough alone, but that isn’t going to get me what I want.

“What do you think I might be doing if you left, sweetheart?”

“I just…I need to go home. I can’t…”

“Was it because I ate your sweet pussy last night?”

Her cheeks flare red and her eyes dart around the room. She’s doing her best not to look at me. “No. It…I just don’t think I should stay. I’m not really okay with…”

“I don’t have to touch you, kitten. I just want to feed you.” I show her by letting her chin go and backing up to give her some room.

“It’s not that, Levi. I just…um, I’m not alright being one of your…harem.” What the fuck? “And I’m not asking you to be different or trying to manipulate you. I just think we need to understand each other’s limits and I’m certain I wouldn’t be alright being on a list.”

“What the fuck are you talking about?”

I try so hard not to shout or even appear angry. She doesn’t need me to lose my shit right now. She needs me to reassure her.

“There is no harem. No list. No line to my bed, Tamsin.”

“Don’t lie to me! I know we’re only doing this to get back at Zane, but you don’t have to lie to me. I’m not stupid, okay? I realize you…”

“I’m not lying to you. And I didn’t eat your pussy to get back at Zane or make him jealous.” I interrupt her easily because she needs to realize what she thinks is wrong.

“You all but admitted it last night.”

“When did I do that, baby? When my mouth was on your tits sucking your nipples or when I was cheek deep in your pussy sucking on your clit?”

The color that heats her cheeks is less from embarrassment and more from anger now.

“You don’t have to be crude.” She moves away from me putting the bed between us. Like that’s going to save her. “You told me last night the best way to go to sleep is from cumming, so don’t try to tell me you’ve not had a different woman over here every night! You don’t just say something like that and not have…”

“I’ve had sex before, kitten, that doesn’t mean…,”

“And don’t call me kitten. It’s…not who I am!”

Fuck it! She wants to know. She’s going to know.

I jump over the bed and grab her before she can finish letting out a little yelp and turn around to run. My arms are wrapped around her waist before she realizes what my goal is and I have her naked on my bed before she can get my name out of her mouth.

“Levi! Let me go! Put the sheet back on me! Levi!”

“Oh, no, sweetheart. You want to know my history. Now you’re going to listen to every bit of it and you’re going to keep that perfect mouth closed or I’m going to sink my dick in it.”

She gasps before closing her mouth tightly.
