Then suddenly, Levi let out a groan, pulled back, dropped my legs down. I was about to complain when he spun me around, so I had my hands on the wall and my back to him.

He grabbed my waist and slid inside me from behind. He hissed and I gasped. He went deep and hard and fast from the get-go, and it was so, so good. This angle, this position, it was different and somehow, even better.

I braced against the wall, arched my back, and tilted my hips up a little.

“Hell,” he muttered as he went even deeper.

One of his hands snaked up and cupped my breast as he pumped into me, sending tendrils of fire and pleasure through every inch of me.

By the light, how could this be so damn good?

He leaned over me and ran his tongue over my spine, making me shiver from head to toe.

“You’re delicious,” he said, his voice hoarse.

He was too, and I wanted to tell him, but then he slid his other hand around my hips, down my belly, and to my core. He flicked my clit and I moaned as my legs almost buckled under me.

“Keep going,” I said, breathless.

Levi obliged and even increased the pressure of his fingers on my clit—and I broke down with a cry. He wrapped an arm around my waist, leaned over me, thrust hard three more times, and let out a groan when he came.

After a few seconds, the tremors in his body slowed and he pressed me fully against the wall, his body glued to my back.

“Delicious as usual, sweetheart,” he whispered in my ear.

We didn’t snuggle or pretend to be anything more. After having sex, we got dressed and left the restroom. Levi had become unsettled again and insisted on checking on Lacey. And I went with him.

I hesitated when he reached for the curtain. He turned to me and frowned. “It’s not your fault.”

“She went there because of me.”

“She was helping a friend,” he said. “I bet that even if she knew what would happen, she would have chosen to go anyway.”

He pulled the curtain halfway and stepped around it. I took a handful of slow steps and stood beside the bed. Lacey was sleeping, her skin pale, but otherwise, she was clean, wearing a hospital gown, and a white blanket was folded to her chest.

I touched her covered legs. “I’m sorry for this but thank you for helping me.” I glanced at Levi. “You too. Thank you.”

A corner of Levi’s lip curled up. “Anything for you, sweetheart.”

One of the strings around my heart pulled hard. I knew that was the bond talking, and what I felt toward it was also the bond, but I couldn’t help being confused.

With a sigh, Levi sat down in an armchair.

“When was the last time you ate something?” I asked.

“Last night? Maybe breakfast this morning.”

I frowned. “I’m starving. I’ll go get something for us.”

He nodded, his eyes half closed. I knew that the moment I turned my back, he would fall asleep. I was tired, but I was still on cloud nine for having my magic back, and I couldn’t stop thinking about the next steps. I needed to act now.

I stayed there for five seconds, taking him in, imprinting his beautiful face on my mind. I was going to see him again, but it was probably when we were ready to break the bond.

I smoothed my hand over Lacey’s knee and whispered, “See you later.”

As silently as I could, I walked out of the infirmary and headed to the dining room and stood by the table. A second later, two plates with yummy sandwiches appeared, along with a glass of juice.
