That night, I was a wildfire of passion.
Levias stroked my back, our lips brushing, his breath hot. “Did you learn this from a movie?”
“I’m a dedicated student.”
He suddenly became fierce. “This is something I should be teaching you.”
Levias was 6’2“, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. Our body types were a stark contrast. If we were animals, he’d be a lion, and I‘
d be a little fox. He could easily envelop me completely in his arms.
Our eyes met. Levias suddenly said, “I’ve been waiting.”
“Waiting for what?”
For you to open your heart to me, to trust me, to rely on me, to fall in love with me.”
I froze. That was going to cost extra.
He caressed my face, his beautiful eyes no longer cold, but overflowing with love. “Because I’ve already done it. It’s only fair that you do the same.”
The big boss was confessing his love!
“Darling, how did you suddenly change our dynamic from a steamy romance novel to a pure love story?”
He didn’t smile. His expression was serious.
I scratched my cheek and stammered, “Well… then you’ll have to wait another fifty years. If… if you still love me then, I’ll love you back.”
Levias smiled. “Alright.”
It was our promise for a lifetime.
I turned my back to him, the grin on my face harder to suppress than an AK–47’s recoil.
