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
HarperLacey, Tillie and Mylee are already waiting for me by the entrance to college. “Did you organize this?” I turn and ask Dylan as he pulls up outside the entrance. It’s like having my own personal chauffeur, not that I am complaining or anything.“I may have messaged them, yes,” he says smiling. I reach out and touch his cheek.“Ever the thoughtful and kind, Dylan. Thanks so much. I can’t wait to see them.” I hop out the car as soon as he has it parked and run towards my girls. Each wrap their arms around me and hold me tightly, the lump in my throat aches as I hold back the tears.“Are you okay?” Mylee asks me, concern in her baby blue eyes. I nod unable to speak right now and swallow hard. Maybe if I swallow it’ll make the lump go away. No such luck. Oh, fuck I may start crying right here and everyone will see what a hot mess I am. “You sure? Let’s go somewhere else. Ladies,” Mylee says as she ushers me away from the group hug, down the corridor where we have to dodge it seems
LevyIt’s hitting three in the afternoon, and I have finished for the day, Carl was left in charge whilst I ran some errands. Dylan arrives just after I have put a fresh pot of coffee on. I’m eating a slice of toast with homemade jam from my mother. She loves to spoil me and is always making me something. It kind of makes me feel guilty since I don’t get over to see her quite as often as I should. Mom has a key and lets herself in when she feels like popping over.“Hey, Dad. How was your day?” He slips off his Nike’s and comes into the kitchen throwing his bag on the island and his keys next to it. Kid has not gotten the hang of not dumping shit on the counters or the island. It makes me smile though; I wouldn’t have him any other way.“It was good, got a lot of work done. Taken on a few vintage bikes to fix up and turn around. Thinking of opening a biker’s café.” Dylan takes a seat, and I hand him a mug of coffee now it is ready.“A biker’s café,” he lets out a low whistle. “That’s a
LevyOkay I think I am getting in way too deep, but I simply cannot stop kissing her. Her lips taste of coconut, it must be the balm she applied after dinner. Who knew I’d like coconut so much, right now it is rapidly becoming my favorite flavor. Hell, I am going to have coconut everything – water, cake, muffins you name it, that is what it’s going to be.Her tongue slides along my bottom lip, she draws between her teeth and my cock begs me to fist it and do something the hell with it. I can hear her almost panting into my mouth. Since when were kisses this amazing?Slowly she retreats, I loosen the hold around her waist and rest my forehead on hers. “Wow, you sure know how to kiss a girl, Levy. That was the best kiss I’ve ever had.” Now that makes my chest puff out, which man wouldn’t like to hear those words? Damn I feel proud of myself.She takes my hand and lowers herself to the rug I’ve laid in the back. “Come on lay down beside me.” Is that such a good idea, I mean my hands migh
HarperWe say goodbye to his friend and wife. Levy places a hand to my lower back and guides me out of the restaurant. I enjoy the firmness and warmth through my clothes. Tingles are vibrating like crazy inside me. As we get to his truck, he beeps the fob to unlock the doors then opens the passenger side for me to hop in.I wait for him to get in. He places the key in the ignition and presses the button to turn the engine over. Heat instantly pumps out. “I really enjoyed the meal, Levy, just wanted to let you know.”His eyes smile back at me, his lips upturned. I like the skin creasing around his eyes. Levy pats my thigh, “good, I’m pleased you enjoyed it. They’re really nice, solid people. Been through a lot with me and Lilly.”“I can imagine,” I say wanting his hand to travel further up my thigh to my seam, however, we are parked in front of his friend’s restaurant. Not appropriate.“Can we stop off on the way back? It’s not too late and Taylor will be fine on her own in the house.”
LevyHoly Moly, what in the hell do I do? This girl is a firecracker, and she is making my dick strain in my pants. She’s sitting there looking all confident and sassy, licking her bottom lip. I want to bite that damn lip and suck on it, explore her filthy mouth with my tongue. But… we are on a first date. I still can’t get over that I am on a date. With a girl who is just twenty. Who is my son’s ex-girlfriend. Would people wonder if she is my daughter or something?As if she can read my mind, Harper says, “hey you look miles away. What are you thinking? Or are you wondering what I do when I think about you at night in my bedroom?”I almost choke on my Light Bud, managing to salvage myself from making a complete fool out of myself. “I think we should talk about something different, don’t you?”“Not really. You have no idea how long I have waited to get out with you. Levy you should know that since Dylan and I broke up and I grew up some, I have been fantasizing about you almost every
HarperOh my gosh you need to see Levy’s face, he is blushing. A burly biker with tatts up and down his arms is blushing like a kid. It’s adorable. “Harper do not push me. I am taking you on a soft date, not a necking in my truck session. Fuck,” he says as he runs his hands through his hair which is down and hangs to his chin. Usually, he wears it up in a man bun but this with his corkscrew curls is way sexier. His warm eyes are, however, dark and I can see that my words have brought something in him back to life.“What?” I feign innocence, “it’s just a random question, Levy. Chill. Seriously, I wouldn’t let any man fuck me on the first date.” He huffs out a breath.“Good, because I am seriously out of practice to be honest, Harper. I haven’t dated in a long time not since Lilly. Which was a while ago, before Dylan was born.”“Come off it, Levy I know you go out with women. I’ve seen a few on the back of your bike.” It’s true and each time I wanted to drag them off by their hair billow
LevyI read the message from Harper.Can you meet me at the corner? Taylor is not going on her sleepover, and I don’t want her to find out I am coming out with you on a date. It is too soon, and you know what a blabber mouth my kid sis can be!Sure np, see you in ten.It is the longest ten minutes of my life as I sit in my truck on the corner of the road, with the heating on so the truck is warm for when Harper arrives. I even put the heated seat on for her. Who knows if they can even afford the heating at home right now.Am I doing the right thing? Fuck, I am nervous like a school kid. In fact, I can’t quite recall the last time I had so much anxiousness at waiting for a date. A date at my age, jeez. Should I let her know this isn’t a good idea? Am I even ready after the loss of Lily? I know my best mate says I need to get back out there but there is still part of me that feels guilty. Some have said that I have survivor’s guilt. I guess that is possible having nursed and been there
HarperJeans, right. Okay I can do jeans but I’m not wearing some cruddy top. I want to dress to impress. In fact, I want Levy’s eyes to bug right on out of his head. I know he’s used to women older than me but that doesn’t mean I don’t have what it takes. I am not some kid-bimbo type of girl either, I am confident, sassy and downright smart. Oh boy, Levy has no idea what kind of woman I can be.From my wardrobe I pull out some bootleg, Miss Sixty jeans they will sit snugly around my ass and are low waist. Now what sort of top? I am thinking maybe I should layer since it is much cooler in the evenings at the moment and we might be eating out on a terrace. I have a cute lacey body that I can wear underneath, with an aquamarine off the shoulder top that brings out the color of my eyes nicely. Lacie always tells me that it suits me but since I haven’t been going out too much lately, it hasn’t been worn a whole bunch.“Hey you in there, Sis?” I hear Taylor’s voice on the hallway. I open t
HarperCollege is a huge drag today and it seems as if all I am doing is watching the clock. I am desperate to get out and go see my momma in the hospital then get ready for my date with Levy tonight. I am hoping he thinks it is a date too.What if he is just being nice to me? You know because he’s known me since I was a kid and because I am Dylan’s bestie and ex-girlfriend. “Are you even focusing right now?” Lacie asks me as I doodle on my notebook.“What? Yeah of course.”“It doesn’t look like it, you seem distracted.”“Well, you know my momma did just take an overdose and is in the hospital,” that is of course part of the reason – I don’t need to mention Levy. Nobody is going to understand in any case. And I want it to be a secret. Especially if it turns out he hasn’t got the same intentions about to night that I have.Hey listen, I don’t mean necking in his truck or pulling my panties down begging him to take me. I want to get to know him, I want him to have a nice evening. Levy h
