I am so relieved her momma has woken up. And what about Levy's reaction to the kiss, what do you all think? Next installment live on Tuesday 24th of September thanks all so much for reading xoxo
LevyThe touch of her skin against my finger has my pulse racing and shoots a bolt of electricity right through me. It almost takes me back, but her news is overwhelming, her mother is awake. I can’t tell you how relieved I am for her and her sister. It could have gone any which way.“That’s amazing, Harper.” I am quick to withdraw my hand from her chin and remove my other hand from her knees. The tautness of her legs encased in her jeans under my hand is too much for me to take. Why am I feeling like this? I feel bad. I ought to know better than to even touch her, she’s eighteen years younger than me for God’s sake. My friends would have a field day with this, not to mention Dylan.“I know,” she breathes out, tears prick her eyes. I want to tuck a strand of hair behind her ears and hold her into my chest and kiss those full, cherry lips of hers that are driving me crazy. Then she bites on her lower lip and it’s almost making me come undone. I have to stand up and move away.“We can’t
HarperHe smells so good as I hold his head against mine with my arms tightly wound around his neck. The feel of his bristles on my skin excites me, they’re soft and not at all scratch like I imagined them to be. And his mouth is divine, tasting of coffee. The way he smells of citrus and something muskier is intoxicating to my senses, sending a memo straight to my core.A direct hit, it makes me ache like something I have never experienced before. This is Levy, a man, pure one hundred percent masculine. So different from Dylan and the other boys I have kissed growing up. Levy is pure bred MAN.His tongue slides easily into my mouth, let’s face it I am not putting up any resistance. I have been dying to kiss this man for months and months. I can’t even pinpoint when I started to notice him differently other than Dylan’s father. Something just changed in the way I’d look at him, the way my body would crave for him to touch me.The fantasies at night imagining his large hands covering my
LevyWhat was I thinking? I must have been insane to be that close to her especially with Dylan waiting up for me. I need to shake myself or slap myself. She is way too young for me, let alone all the other complications. But damn, she lives in my head, she fills up my senses. I just can’t get enough of being around Harper.“Hi Dad. Did Harper get in alright?” I slip out of my Timberland boots and nod.“Yeah, her mother work up but they wouldn’t let her see her, so I brought her home. Besides, her sister needs her too.”“I was going to pop over and see her.” Lacey stands behind him with a small smile on her face. Man, these kids need to be up for college and it’s past midnight.“I think she’ll be fine. They need to be up early. Taylor has school, Harper will miss college for the day and go be by her mother. You both need to call it a night too. I know you’re twenty-one Dylan, but you have to focus on your classes tomorrow.”“I’ll skip out of here, no problem. I’m sorry I’ve stayed so
Levy“Hey, Bro how you doin’?” I take a seat at the bar where my good friend Lex is sitting with a black coffee in front of him.“All good, busy which is nice since I have another house I am looking to buy and turn around. Don’t suppose you want to have a stake in it? I know you said a while ago you’d be interested in my next venture.”The waitress comes to the counter, “can I get you anything, Levy? Coffee, tea or something stronger.” Letitia has worked here ever since I can remember, she’s friendly and sweet. Today her lilac dyed hair is piled high on her head with a pink bow tied around it. Kinda cute. She’s a sassy woman that’s for sure.“I’ll have a coffee, thanks Letitia. How is your boy these days?”“Oh, he is fine, he’s in the Marines now. He’ll be like old Alex here.”“Hey, less of the old thanks,” Alex grins at her. Letitia busies herself on the coffee machine behind her as Alex slaps me on the back. “So, what is so urgent you need to see me at ten in the morning? What’s goin
HarperI’m back at the hospital my mom is sleeping again, she looks a bit better than she did when they brought her in. At least now her skin doesn’t look so pasty and white, she has a bit of color in her cheeks.Sitting down on the uncomfortable chair next to her bed, because now I am allowed to be in with her for longer. I take her hand in mine and stroke the top of mom’s hand with my thumb. “You gotta get better, Mom. We need you. Taylor really needs you.” She doesn’t say anything, of course she wouldn’t, Mom is fast asleep.The door eases open, and I see Levy standing there, I glance at the wall clock and can see it is already nearly midday. “Hey, you doing okay? He asks me. I nod. My heart racing at just the sight of him in dark jeans, a black T-shirt that stretches across his broad chest showcasing his pecs and his biceps. The tattoos make me want to lick each one as I trail my tongue along the outlines. I feel a heat rushing to my core and clench my thighs together.“I thought
Levy“And that is exactly the problem, Harper. People think you are my daughter. God, it makes me feel so damn ancient.” I stress as I rake my hands through my hair and then settle my hand on the back of my neck and rub it.“That’s ridiculous and you know it, Levy. She’s just a dumb batty woman who should mind her own fucking business. Hey, look at me!” She commands and I find myself looking into those cornflower blue eyes of her and almost losing my shit. She could easily bring any man to his knees, and I am almost there but I can’t allow myself to be.The woman comes back with two coffees one for Harper the other for me and some toast that I asked for. Today I am ravenous, and I have a workout later today with some of the guys at the gym, so I need to keep my calorie intake up.“Thank you,” I say to the lady then pick up the tray with our things on it and make my way towards a free table. The canteen is busy this morning, in fact the whole hospital is. There were a lot of people mill
HarperDoes he think I can’t see him looking at my lips? I know he feels the same connection that I do, honestly, I want him to get over the age gap thing. It’s driving me insane, who cares these days anyway? The only people that matter are Levy and myself. Sure, I guess Dylan might feel a bit awkward. Like for example if Levy and I ever got to be long tern and I became his wife, then Dylan strictly speaking would be my stepson. Now that’s a thought.Yeah, I guess it is exactly what Levy has thought once or twice too. Still, I won’t let that put me off. Every fibre of my body wants Levy, I know for a fact I would be good for him. Naturally, I understand I could never replace Lilly his deceased wife, nor would I want to. We would have something different, something new and being with Levy is all that I obsess about.Coffee break and a bite to eat is over, “I have to go, Harper I’ve got some business to attend to this morning, then I’ll be hitting the gym later. If you need anything to s
HarperButterflies are still zinging around in my stomach as I leave the hospital late morning. The nurses said momma needs to rest more and when she was lucid, she impressed that I was not to stay by her side and should get into college.She is right, I do have a project that needs finishing and a paper to write up that is due in tomorrow. I bet Dylan has already finished his, he is such an A-grade student. Not that I am not, I mean I get really good grades but if I can put of studying at the best of times then I will. I’d much rather be watching soppy romance movies, my favorite are the fake dating kind or enemies to lovers’ type and don’t even get me started on Hallmark movies. To die for.There are no more messages from Levy and I may just be slightly obsessed with checking my mobile every few minutes. Stop it, he is busy he has a business to run. Yeah, but it is difficult. Out in the car park it is bright and sunny, I tilt my face up to feel the sun beating down on it since it s
