“Sorry,” he whispers.
“I’m the one that got us into this mess,” I whisper back.
“That wasn’t what I was talking about.” It takes me a second to understand what he means or, well, feel what he means pressing into me. Holy crap. Eros is big all over.

EROS
“Oh,” Lev whispers. Her fingers grip the front of my shirt. “It’s okay; it’s normal, right?” I don’t fight my smile because she can’t see me. “Men get, ah, you know, hard when a woman is on them or whatever.” She stumbles over a few of her words.
Fuck me. Lev is far more innocent than she’d ever let anyone believe. I love seeing a more vulnerable side of her. I want all of them.
“I’m not a boy, Lev; I can control myself.” I mean, she’s testing my resolve just by breathing, but I’m holding on.
“Right,” she blurts out loudly. I glance in the direction of the door. I honestly don’t give a shit if we are busted, but this is about the thrill of it for Lev. “But wait.” She goes back to whispering. “You’re hard now.” Lev gives a small wiggle. Is she checking to make sure she's right? What she is about to do is unman me. I have been hard all night, and I'm dying for a release.
"If a random woman presses against me for any reason, I won't get hard. You’re different.”
“I’m different,” she repeats.
“Very different, darling.” Lev’s fingers play with the collar of my shirt. I could put her down, but I don’t want to. I love the way she feels in my arms.
“I kind of love it when you call me darling.” It's still a whisper, but it's a truth. One I doubt she would have shared with me without the darkness.
“Good.”
“Good?” She laughs. “You know you have this way of being so sure of yourself without being cocky.”
“I don’t ever mean to be cocky.”
“I know. You seem to be one of the good ones.” Guilt starts to fill me because I haven’t fully told her who I am, but I know I would never have gotten this far with her if I had. I stuff it down because there is no going back. I wouldn’t change a thing.
I want Lev to keep thinking of me as one of the good ones. I get a sense she doesn’t have too many of those in her life when it comes to the opposite sex. I always try to do the right thing. Not be an asshole when there is no need. It doesn’t hurt to give people a smile or say please or thank you. Hold a few doors. But I think for Lev I’d do a whole lot of bad things to keep her.
My dad was right. He always told me when I found the one, I’d know. She’d be different. That Mom had stood out to him in a crowd, too. Only he had to do a whole lot of chasing because Dad had been a bit of a ladies’ man, and Mom was new in town. Once she became aware of his reputation, it took him more than a year to convince her to date him.
“I’d always be good to you, Lev.”
“Promise?”
“Promise.” I give without hesitation.
“I can ask for whatever, right?”
“You can.”
“Kiss me?”
“I’ve been dying to kiss you all night, darling.” I slowly let her slide down my body till her feet touch the ground. I’m going to need my hands for this.
“It’s so dark.”
“I got you.” I cup her face in my hands to help guide me. I slowly brush my mouth against hers, not wanting to frighten her. Lev leans in more, giving me all that I need to fully claim her mouth in a kiss.
I start off slowly, sliding my tongue between the seam of her lips. Soon Lev parts them for me, letting me in. She tastes like candy. So damn sweet. She tries to hide her sweetness from the rest of the world, but I've managed to capture it. I want every last bit of it.
At first, Lev only allows me to kiss her. I don’t care. I’m enjoying every fucking second of it. Then her fingers firmly grasp my shirt once more, and her tongue gently brushes against my skin.
From there the kiss turns hot quickly. I sink one of my hands into her thick, lush hair. Lev moans into my mouth. Without thinking, my body takes over, and I lift her up again and press her to the wall. She’s so damn small that I have to remember to be careful.
Lev doesn’t seem to mind because she wraps her legs around me and never breaks our kiss. She slips her hands around my neck and reaches up into my hair. I press my cock into her. She’s bringing out a side of me that I didn’t even know existed.
