The Witch
We had fallen asleep in each others arms. The warmth of Levi's body was soothing to my core and I nestled my face deeper into the cradle of his neck, breathing in his scent.
"Good morning, darling," he mumbled lazily.
I smiled against his skin. "Good morning, sleepyhead."
A warm careless chuckle rumbled from his throat. "Feeling better?"
I nodded, lifting my lips just beneath his jaw and kissing him lazily.
"Yea," I yawned. "Just a bit."
He rolled to face toward me carefully. His dark eyes were so expressive and boundless as they gazed into my own.
"How is it that even your bed head is the most adorable thing I've ever seen," he asked softly, brushing back a wild strand of gold behind my ear.
I scrunched my nose, a soft burst of laughter following close behind.
"I dunno," I shrugged.
He chuckled softly. "What do you say to a lazy day," he asked.
I would have loved to take a day to just relax and hold Levi in my arms, but things were becoming scary. I could feel that something was on the precipice of starting. And there was the matter of saving the coven.
I couldn't just ignore that.
"There isn't time—"
"You're still weakened," he said. "If you push yourself too hard and too soon, you'll end up worse than before and we cannot risk that. Not with you."
His hand slid over my waist, drawing my body closer to his.
"Just for today " Levi added softly after I didn't give him a response. He brought his lips to the top of my nose, kissing it gently before gliding them to my cheek.
I couldn't stop the way I melted in his hands. I just did. I couldn't hold back the soft pleading noise as his tongue ran over the corner of my lips either.
"Just for today," I asked for confirmation.
His hand slid down to my ass, cupping the soft curvature of the flesh there before squeezing gently. A pleased sigh escaped my parted lips.
"I swear it," he breathed, lips now beneath my jaw. "Just for today. "
I laughed softly when he kissed the hollow of my throat.
"Just promise to stay with me like this," I whispered. "Remind me how good it feels to be touched by you."
