“Me too,” I murmured and kissed his chest.

“Oh, I know I rocked your world, baby,” he said smugly.

“I’d smack you if I had the energy to lift my hand,” I groaned.

He laughed and tapped my butt lightly. “We’ll save that for another time.”

We lay there until our heart rates evened out and our breathing regulated. Levi kissed my forehead and then gently moved me to his side as he pulled out. He dashed to the bathroom to dispose of the condom and clean up. When he returned, he had a warm, wet washcloth which he used to wipe away the blood and sooth the soreness. Then he climbed into bed and pulled me to him, wrapping himself around me, spoon fashion.

I was almost asleep when I heard him whisper, “Baby, you know this means we’re dating, right?” Gasping, I sat up and stared at him with crazy eyes.

“What?!” I screeched. His stricken expression broke me and I fell into a giggling pile. For which I earned myself the sting of his hand slapping my ass. I couldn’t fault him, I deserved it.

“Get over here, brat,” he grumbled and pulled me back into position.

I pondered our situation for a moment, feeling mostly content, except for one thing. “Can we keep this between us for a little while?”

He leaned up on his elbow and frowned down at me. “What?”

“If we start telling people, the press will get wind of it and then we’ll be building a relationship between you, me, and the rest of the world. Let’s see where this goes before we go public with it, okay?”

“I don’t want to hide the fact that you’re mine, Brooklynn,” he objected angrily.

“I’m not asking you to pretend I’m not yours,” I soothed. “We’re just keeping it low key for a bit.”

His anger ebbed, but he was still grumpy when he asked, “How long?”

“Not long, Levi. Just give me some time to adjust to taking another leap forward.”

He sighed and lay back down, hugging me close. “Alright, we’ll keep it private,for now.” He reached over me to grab the remote and turn out the lights. Then kissed my temple before getting settled. “As long as you know, you’re mine.”

“Same goes, pretty boy.”

He chuckled and held me close as we drifted to sleep.

Brooklynn

The morningafter we slept together, I woke up and the force of what we’d done hit me square in the face. I didn’t regret it, not even the tiniest bit. But, my fears reared their ugly heads and I prepared myself for things to be awkward, and for the inevitable brush off that would follow it.

For the moment though, I was content to stay just as I was, with his body wrapped around mine. I scooted back a couple of inches, wanting to get even closer to his warmth, but froze when his hardened cock bumped against my ass. I was instantly wet and squeezed my thighs together. Shit. I groaned quietly when I felt how tender and achy I was between my legs. Levi shifted and I felt him brush my hair away from my neck before placing lingering kisses along my shoulder.

“You must be sore, baby.” His voice was filled with sympathy, but I was pretty sure I hadn’t heard any regret. “I’ll start a bath and then order some breakfast. Eggs and bacon, okay?” he asked.

“Yes,” I mumbled sleepily.

“Nothing too sugary or with dairy.”

“How did you know that?” I twisted just enough to see his face.

He laughed and ran his fingers through my hair. “I pay attention, baby. I rarely see you eating those things, except when we have a day off and you’re not singing.”

His words filled me with a warm glow of pleasure, knowing he had noticed such tiny little details about me. “We have that in common,” he continued. “They affect my voice too.”

I smiled at him and his hand swept down my side, caressing my curves. He kissed my neck before gently disentangling himself and climbing off of the bed. I yawned and carefully turned over until I was sprawled on my stomach, wondering if we should just go back to bed. My eyes drifted to the clock on the bedside table and I sighed.There went that idea.It was almost two in the afternoon and we had to be at the venue by four.

The sound of running water drifted from the bathroom and after a few minutes, Levi came striding back into the room, still naked and. . .wow. Really aroused. I wondered what he tasted like, which sent a rush of liquid into my mouth and pussy. We probably had time for another round.
