Page 58 of Levi
No, you hate him, Saylor.Stay strong and don’t give in.This entire situation is his fault.Well, at least the restaurant part is.
Wait!Why is he naked and in the same bed that I just jumped out of?
I slide my blurry eyes from my toes to my chest and see that I’m just as naked as he is, and I let out a shrill.Oh no!
The noise must wake Levi because his eyes open slightly, and he reaches over for my body on the now empty space that I was occupying.He snaps his head over to me, and smiles when our eyes meet.
“Morning, baby!”He’s still sleepy but his voice is smooth.
“Don’tmorning babyme, Levi Thorne!Where are my clothes?How did I end up in the same room as you?”I demand, then try to cover myself in front of him.“Naked!Levi, I’m naked for Saint Peter’s sake!”
“Saint Peter?I didn’t realize you’d taken up religion,” he jokes, but when I don’t laugh or even smile, he turns serious.“You don’t remember last night, do you?”He sits up, and so does his hard dick.
Focus Saylor, don’t let his magic dick distract you.Magic dick?Where did that come from?
Oh my god!Last night I told him that his dick had the magic touch in the shower.Oh my god!
Don’t freak out, just find your clothes and leave, it will be like it never happened.A sudden gush of fluid runs out from between my legs and my hand cups it.
“Oh my god!We did it, didn’t we?”I draw a short blank as I look at him in bed, then pull my fingers from my wet body.He opens his mouth, but I beat him to it.“Jesus, this is not happening.”
My brain finally syncs up to the rest of me, and flashes of last night filter through my head like a slide show.
“Baby, don’t freak out,” Levi slowly says, but it has the opposite effect on me.
“This is bad.This is really bad.”Throwing my fingers in tangled hair, I search the room for my clothing, but don’t see one article that belongs to me.
Levi gets out of bed and makes his way over in front of me, naked as the day he was born.And in slow motion, I take in every muscle that flexes as he walks, even his bouncing dick.
“This isn’t that bad, Saylor.It’s okay what we did, wearestill married after all.”
I snap my eyes up to his and my eyes catch the chain floating around his neck.Rings.My wedding rings.I can’t believe he still has them.He notices my gaze and looks down to where I’m staring.
“They haven’t left my body since I woke up from the bomb.”His fingers touch them, then fists them in his hand.“Mine was cut off my finger when I was brought into the ER after the car blew up.I had a new one made after your letter.”His left ring finger boasts the exact same wedding band that I placed there on the day of our wedding.
“I—” My own hand reaches out automatically to touch them too, but a sparkle from the sunlight catches my hand and I see the two bands already on my ring finger.Oh God!
“Don’t Saylor.They don’t matter.”Levi catches my left hand in his.“They aren’t real, but these are.We are still man and wife,” he pushes, but guilt has already seeped in.“The last two years were make believe and they don’t count.We don’t even need to talk about them if you don’t want to.”
“What have I done?”I gasp, trying to calm my heavy breathing.
“You’ve done nothing wrong, baby.”
“How can you say that?”I step back and yank my hand out of his, but he matches my step with his.“I’ve…” The words get caught in my throat.“I’ve cheated.”My body starts to shake.
“This whole situation is complicated Saylor, you can’t look at it like that.”He tries to reassure me, but I don’t see it.
“You’re right it’s complicated!”I yell, not caring if I wake the entire hotel.“First, I married you, then you pushed me away, only for Daniel to file divorce papers on me making me believe you wanted them.Then, after years of waiting for you to come back, I finally move on with someone else only to find out two months later, that I’m still married to you and that he might’ve been deceiving me!”
I heave in a breath, but don’t stop.
“I’m a cheater.I slept with someone who wasn’t my husband.And now I’ve cheated on my fake husband with the real husband!”
I’m losing it.I’m dizzy and white spots flash before my eyes.I might pass out.Or throw up.
“Baby, we can get through this.”
I shake my head and continue to back away from him.I need my space, and with him this close I can’t think straight.Tears are streaming down my face when the reality of what I’ve done settles in.
