Sparkles danced over my skin as he reached up and drew soft fingers over my forehead, pushing a few strands of hair out of my face. His eyes seared into me with an intensity that made it hard to breathe.

“I was the one who was fooled by you,” he said, still holding my gaze. “I was the one who walked right into your trap.”

Guilt flickered through my soul. But before it could expand, Levi went on.

“And now, my people won’t have to pay the price for my own incompetence.” He slid both hands into my hair and cradled my head before kissing me deeply. Then he drew back slightly. With his fingers still in my hair, he rested his forehead against mine and whispered, “Thank you.”

A tremor coursed through my body. Through my very soul.

I didn’t know if it was because of the vulnerability in his voice or the way his hands felt in my hair or the closeness of his body or the way he had kissed me as if it was the last time he would ever do that, but my restraint snapped like a thread before a battle axe.

Grabbing the back of his neck, I pulled his lips back to mine and kissed him desperately.

His body reacted immediately.

He tightened his grip on my hair as he answered the kiss, deepening it and claiming my mouth with the same desperation that whirled through my own soul. I drew my hands down his back and curled my fingers over the hem of his leather armor. A frustrated noise ripped from my throat when I couldn’t figure out how to get the garment off him while he continued kissing me senseless.

A dark chuckle rumbled from his chest, but he drew back and started removing his armor. I stripped out of my own clothes too while Levi finished. My leather armor joined his on the floor as we tossed them aside before closing the distance between us again.

Locking my hands around the back of his neck, I pressed my lips against his as I pulled him with me while I backed towards my bed. Levi claimed my mouth with dominant strokes of his tongue as he let me move us closer to the smooth sheets.

Once the back of my legs hit the wooden bedframe, Levi broke the kiss and instead planted a hand on my chest. With one firm push, he sent me toppling backwards and onto the bed.

The mattress bounced underneath me as I landed, crinkling the previously impeccable white sheets. I scooted backwards to get more firmly onto the bed while Levi brushed his palms together.

Confusion blew through me as he summoned a long metal rope. But before I could ask about it, the ends of the smooth metal wrapped around my ankles. Then it solidified. It left my legs spread wide and trapped like that by a metal rod.

A thrill raced down my spine.

The bed dipped underneath me as Levi climbed onto the mattress. Grabbing the long rod between my ankles, he yanked on it, pulling me down until I was lying on my back in the middle of the bed. My heart fluttered in my chest.

His gray eyes glinted and a smirk played over his lips as he shifted so that he was straddling one of my thighs.

A jolt shot through me as he brushed his knuckles over my pussy. He shifted his hand, tracing his thumb around my clit instead. I threw my head back and sucked in a breath as another ripple of pleasure rolled through my body.

He continued teasing my clit with expert movements until my pulse was thrumming in my ears. I squirmed against the sheets. His fingers slid over my entrance. I drew in a shuddering breath and tried to raise my legs. But his weight was firmly on my thigh, and the metal bar between my ankles made it impossible to lift my other leg too.

While his thumb tortured my clit, he pushed two fingers inside me.

I arched up from the bed.

My hands shot towards his forearm in a desperate attempt to direct his movements and push his fingers deeper inside me. But before I could, his other hand closed around my throat.

With his arm outstretched, he held me suspended like that in the air. Too far for me to reach his other hand and too high for me to lie back down on the mattress.

Challenge glittered in his eyes as he drew his thumb around my clit and slid his fingers out of my pussy before pushing them back in. A moan escaped my lips.

Levi kept his eyes on me, holding my body up with nothing but his hand around my throat, as he fucked me excruciatingly slowly with his fingers. Since I couldn’t reach his other, I wrapped my hands around his left forearm instead. I gripped it hard as pleasure coursed through me. He smirked.

Tension thrummed inside me as he pushed me closer and closer to release. But it wasn’t enough. It was just a little too slow. A little too gentle.

I once more tried to move my legs, to squeeze my thighs together so that his thumb would press harder against my clit, but the rod kept me mercilessly trapped with my legs spread wide open for him.

“Levi,” I pressed out between heavy breaths. “Harder.”

He studied every expression on my face, every pleading look in my eyes, for another few seconds as he continued torturing me. I dug my fingers into his muscled forearm. My eyes fluttered as he curled his fingers slightly on the way out before pushing them back in.

I was having trouble thinking straight as terrible tension pulsed inside my whole body.
