~ BOOK 2 of Levels of Love ~
****
It walks through the crowd below with an easy, almost arrogant, stride, beanie pulled low over its forehead. But not low enough to hide its piercing, cold eyes. I don't know why but my breathing sudd...

"Excuse me?" a voice suddenly yells over the music and a large hand clamps down on my shoulder, pulling us apart.
We both turn on the stranger, ready to fight despite our intoxicated states.
"I'm sorry", the man is huge, both in height and in width, towering over us both. "There's been some complaints about you two so either ease up on the groping or take it somewhere else."
Hanbin and I glance at each other in surprise and both laugh, it's hard to take anything seriously when you're this far gone.
"Sure, sure", I say patting the man's chest, "Sorry about that."
Hanbin takes my hand silently and leads me from the club. Leaving the constantly thumping music, crowded dance floor and warm air behind us, the street is surprisingly quiet and cold. I shiver slightly but he doesn't miss a beat, slipping his jacket onto my shoulders before wrapping a protective arm around me. The air is so clean tasting and I breathe it in hungrily, using it to help steady my trembling body and frantically beating heart a little.
"Gosh, that was fun", I declare, snuggling against him.
Hanbin grins, "It's the first time I've ever been kicked out." He taps my nose lightly, "You're such a bad influence."
I gasp jokingly, "But it wasn't me lifting my shirts up in a public place."
"You wore no shirts", Hanbin reminds me softly, his hand subtly brushing over my exposed stomach.
His light touch tickles slightly and I twist away laughing, he laughs to and tickles me again on purpose.

"Stop!" I shriek through my tears of laughter as I try to pull away from him, "Don't...take...advantage!"
"I would never", Hanbin stops tickling me and pulls the sides of his jacket tighter around me. "Where to now?"
"I wanna swim", I say the first thought that comes to mind, "I'm all sweaty and ugh from the club. Let's go to the beach!"
"But we're drunk", Hanbin whines, "We could drown."
"A Daemon and a Fae?" I laugh at this and find it very hard to stop again.
"Our apartment has a pool", Hanbin offers, "Stop laughing. What's so funny?"
I shake my head and continue to laugh, not entirely sure myself.
"Come on then", he motions to his back, "Hop on and we'll go for this swim."
"You're going to carry me?" I finally manage to calm my laughter down to a slight chuckle.
"What not?" he cocks his head to the side and studies me.
Why does his blue eye always burn with so much passion while his brown one seems to radiate love? It's like a double attack and it's another thing that's unfair.
"It just sounds like fun", I jump onto his back easily and he catches my legs before starting off.
It's a pretty normal trip until Hanbin scales the side of the thirty floor apartment building to get to the roof pool.

"Finally!" I cheer and jump off him, stretching slightly before heading towards the dark water. "We're not meant to be here, are we?" I turn back and watch Hanbin as he pulls the top shirt over his head.
"No swimming after dark", his voice is muffled in the fabric. "And no swimming in shoes."
I glance down at my heels and huff, "Fine." Sitting on the edge of the pool I yank off my shoes and throw them in his general direction causing him to yelp and exclaim that I should warn him before throwing pointy objects. I laugh at this and splash my legs in the water while shouldering off his jacket and also throwing it over.
"Caught it", a husky voice whispers in my ear.
I turn and see Hanbin bending over me, jacket held proudly in one hand and a sneaky smirk on his lips.
"Congratulations", I say, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Oh, no reason", he shrugs easily before pushing me in.
"GAH!" I shriek in surprise as I hit the warm water and slide under the surface, pushing off the slippery ground and torpedoing back up.
"Feeling better?" Hanbin asks cheekily, dancing out of my reach as I go to drag him in.
"Come on", I push my wet hair back off my face and hope the water hasn't made my tiny top see-through. "It's nice."
He manages to dance out of my grip again, tutting deep in his throat.
"Ask nicely, CeCe."
"Pleeeeeease! Please, Hanbin! Please! Please! Please!" I jump around with each word, splashing wildly for no reason other than I'm still pretty gone. The water's done nothing to sober me up.

"Please, what?" he smirks, all arrogant good looks and muscles.
I pause for a moment, trying to think of something really good. Something that will get under his skin and stop him teasing me so much.
"Come on", he coaxes, "Please, what?"
"Hanbin", I simper looking him straight in the eye, "Please don't leave me aching so bad."
His eyebrows fly up and mouth forms a tiny 'o', I guess it is always good to tell the truth.
"Fine", I say when he doesn't reply straight away and lick my lips, "Be that way."
"Geez", Hanbin growls, heading towards me, "For an innocent Fae you sure like to tease."
"Tricks of the trade", I say and grab his leg, pulling him ungraciously into the pool.
It's a big splash and I almost expect the building to give way underneath us, but it manages to hold.
"Yah!" he exclaims as he finally resurfaces, "What was that?"
"You had it coming", I laugh and push his wet hair off his face for him. "Karma."
"Fine", he sighs, strong arms already wrapping around my waist to trap me against him. "But that's the end of the tricks, we need to fix your ache."
"Hmm. You think you can?" I watch my hands as they slide over his wet chest.
"Of course", he hooks a finger under my chin so I'm forced to look at his mismatched eyes, "Ready?"
I give a tiny nod but as he lifts me up to wrap my legs around his waist and way too much of our bare skin touches and chafes I realise I'll never be completely ready for what he does to me.
