Levi
I know I went to bed alone last night. I’m one hundred percent certain I climbed into bed and fell asleep without Gentry in my arms. I didn’t have anything to drink, so there’s no explanation for why I’m waking up with my favorite person on the planet curled up against me.
I don’t really care how or why she’s in my bed, I’m going to stay as still as possible. I’m barely going to breathe while I enjoy this extra time with her for as long as I can.
“I’m awake,” she says. “And if your body just went all tense because you don’t want me here, I can go.”
I pull her hard against me, my arms iron bands around her. “Don’t go.”
She leans back into me, her butt against my cock, which got even harder than is typical for the morning as soon as I realized she was in bed with me.
“I’m sorry,” she says. “I couldn’t fall asleep, and I was so tired. I just kept running over everything that happened last night, and I realized that I might have overreacted.”
“Oh, yeah?” Relief floods me like blood flowing back into an arm that’s been asleep.
She nods, her hair brushing my shoulder.
“Yeah. I’ve been doing this on my own for so long and I’m not sure how to do it with someone else.
” She rolls to face me. There’s a pillow crease on her cheek and sleep dust under one eye.
She’s adorable, and I’m so fucking lucky that she’s here with me.
“But I really like you, Levi. Not allowing myself to have you might be the safe thing to do, but it feels like the most wrong thing I’ve ever done. ”
It hits me like a smack in the face that I need to tell her about her father. “Gentry—”
“It won’t be easy with me, Levi, but if you still want this, I want to try.”
“Of course I want this.” I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life. “I just need—”
But she leans forward and kisses me. She wraps her leg around my hip and grinds against my dick as I groan into her mouth. I want to get lost in her, but I have a nagging feeling there’s somewhere we’re supposed to be.
She tilts her hips, and I slide my hands down her body to squeeze her ass, only to discover she’s completely naked. “Presumptive,” I say.
“Or I just really want you.” She shoves my boxer briefs down and grips me in her hand. “I want you so much, Levi.”
And that’s it. Whatever I was trying to remember, all the things I should tell her about her father, fly out of my mind. She is all I see, and all I can think about.
She pauses to look at me, her eyes bright, her hips continuing to move against me. “You sure you’re still up for all this, even after I pushed you away?”
“You might have pushed me away, but I never left. I’m not going anywhere, Gentry.
I want you.” I love you is on the tip of my tongue, but that will scare her away.
It’s way too soon for me to be feeling it, but I know that’s what it is.
I was halfway in love with her that first time I saw her after moving back to town, and I’ve been falling for her every day since, seeing how she takes care of her sisters and how hard she works. How hard she loves.
She studies my face, like she’s looking for the proof of my words behind my eyes. She must like what she sees, because she kisses me and rolls me onto my back, straddling me.
She rises up fully nude, the morning light painting her in a soft glow. “Okay?” she asks.
“Oh, yeah.” I grip her hips and guide her onto my cock. “This is more than okay.”
We both gasp as she sinks onto me. She feels so fucking good.
She rolls her hips and starts to move, her eyes locked on mine. I let her go, letting her move in whatever way she needs to reach her pleasure, because there’s a busy day ahead and time is running out.
Her breasts bounce as she moves, and her mouth falls open on a silent moan. “You’re the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen,” I say in a low voice.
Her eyes light and she smiles sweetly before another expression takes over, one of wonder and pleasure. Watching her come is prettier than the best sunset I’ve ever seen.
So pretty that my own orgasm creeps up on me, my balls tightening, the pleasure edging in to cloud my vision. I grip her hips hard to keep her close as I lift and lower my hips, chasing that pleasure, watching her as she rides the waves of her own.
The orgasm hits me like a bolt of lightning. Rushing through my body with such force I have to bite my lip hard not to shout as it takes me over.
As I come back down, Gentry watches me, sated and fond, with a small smile.
Someone bangs hard on the door. Gentry shrieks and throws herself off me and onto the other bed. She almost kicks me in the balls, but I grab myself and curl, fighting a laugh.
“Are you ready?” Sophie yells through the door. “We’re supposed to be at the brunch in like ten minutes.”
Oh, shit. That’s what I was trying to remember. Daphne and Brodie decided to have a rehearsal brunch, so we’d have more time for the bachelor and bachelorette parties tonight.
Gentry looks over at me, eyes wide with panic.
There’s only one shower, and we definitely both need one.
“Hello?” Sophie calls. “Are you ready?”
“Not quite,” Gentry calls back. “We’re going to need a few minutes. We might have overslept.”
She hops out of bed and kisses me quickly on the lips. “See you tonight.” Then she throws on her pajamas, grabs her clothes and toiletries and rushes into the bathroom, to the very loud complaints of her sister through the door.
