Chapter 12: XII

Isabell POV

Even as we chatted, I could feel his eyes following each movement I made. I pretended not to notice because noticing meant confronting my attraction, and the thought was so much too hard.

It wasn’t that I hated him, but that he seemed determined to draw me into a game of cat and mouse. It was like I knew where he wanted me, in the room, but he would only show me when he thought I was at my most vulnerable. I didn’t know why it bothered me, it just did.

Soon the twins fell asleep and I watched as Jack carried them to their room, he didn't return. Levi was gone as well

“I'll wash the plates” I told Zoe as we both went into the kitchen.

“Oh you don't have to Isabell,” Zoe replied. Her eyes brows were propped up in a consideration.

l looked away from her eyes to her heavily pregnant belly and back to her face. “Please? It's alright, I want to. You, go and rest”

I gave her a hug. She seemed pleasantly surprised and overwhelmed by all of this.

She let out a yawn as she leaned against me, “Thank you I need some rest.”

she turned to leave with a smile on her lips and one of her hands in my hand. I smiled at her as she stopped halfway.

“I am so lucky to have you here Isabell," she whispered to me before turning and leaving.

I stood frozen at the door watching after her until I turned back to the plates.

After some time when I was almost done washing the plates, I heard footsteps. I thought it was Zoe who had come down to check on me but I turned to face an angry Levi.

“Shit, you scared me!” I exclaimed.

But that's not all that is scary because Levi didn't say a word, he moved closer, each step deliberate and I moved backward until my back touched the

counter.

His face loomed over me and I felt trapped, there was something predatory in the way he looked at me, as if I were meat for sale or close to that.

“Levi, what are you doing?” A part of me knew what he was doing but another part of me was so lost in confusion that it didn't make sense.

His hand trailed my check with a slow caress, and I gasped. How did a bolt of electricity flow so easily through me? He continued touching me and I could barely breathe.

“What”, my voice came out raspy. “Are you doing?”

My mind couldn’t process the things I saw on Levi’s face, his eyes burned holes in me before his lips pressed softly against mine, it felt like the world was being ripped open and everything was falling apart all at once.

Everything seemed brighter than before but I think that was just me trying to see Levi's eyes more clearly. I kissed him again but even the kiss didn't seem enough, I needed more.

I felt starved, my body was moving on its own. I could not help opening my mouth so he could suck on my tongue. My legs became like butter as I rested my whole weight on the counter, holding on to Levi's shoulders as I steadied myself.

When we finally broke free from each other, it felt like I had been released from a powerful pull, a pull I found addictive.

“Why are you ignoring me?” he said, his voice strong, almost commanding in tone. I could lose myself to it. Its tenor bounced off his lips and vibrated all over my skin.

“Isabell…” My name felt like silk sliding over his tongue, I loved it when he said it, the sound of it made my stomach flutter.

I was grinding on him before I realized it. “Please …”

“Please what?” Levi smirked triumphantly, pleased with the effect he had on me and my body.

“Tell me what you want Isabell. Tell me and I will give it to you, right this instant”

“I want you, kiss me,” I moaned into his ear and he pulled me closer so my breasts brushed his chest.

“You didn't act like that earlier, look at you now. You're like melted butter all over me. You deserve this punishment,” Levi said before he carried me and set me on the counter and then went on his knees, down below, his breath caressing my inner thighs.

I was hit by a pang of déjá vu.

“What are you doing?” I whispered as I realized we were still in the kitchen and could get caught by anyone. Had I forgotten that I asked for this?

“I'm about to punish you,” Levi replied as he spread my leg wider and pulled my shorts down around my knees.

“What, Levi, wait! We could get caught!” I tried to whisper underneath.

“Forget about that.”

“Levi…”

Before I could protest any further, I felt his tongue lapping at my entrance, tasting me like wine. The sensation sent sparks everywhere, his tongue circling me and making me gasp at every little bit of contact. He spread my folds with his fingers and slid two digits inside me, the warmth was wonderful.

“So tight” He marveled in a soft tone.

He began rubbing in circles which slowly increased in pace and intensity. His breath became heavy and ragged as he worked on me. He pushed his fingers deeper, I felt my head moving from side to side.

His fingers and tongue worked on me in synchronization and I don't know how he managed to do that but I felt myself coming undone and his tongue working faster and faster while his fingers continued to press deeper and deeper.

“You taste so delicious, I could eat you for days Isabell, hold on to my hair,” he ordered.

I wasted no time as I grabbed onto his hair. Levi didn't go easy on me as the pace between his thrusts with his fingers increased.

“Lev…, Le.., Levi” I called as I came hard, stars glistening in my eyes. My body vibrated feverishly under his touches. “Fuck I’m going to die, please don't stop!”

I could feel my orgasm building as I clutched Levi's thick hair tighter and Levi’s hand moved to my mouth muffling the loudest cries of pleasure that left me.

When I calmed down, Levi’s head moved from under . He was panting heavily as his fingers withdrew from me and he sucked on them like they were something precious.

My cheek reddened. “Fuck me,” I quickly blurted out.

Levi grinned before placing a kiss on my lips. I could taste myself from Levi’s tongue and I shuddered beneath his touch.

“Not tonight.” He turned and walked out of the kitchen, leaving me breathless and alone with the dishes.
