Stoke The Fire (Levi X Reader)

Levi POV

When it looked as if (Name) was getting tired I led her out of the club and back to my car, helping her into the passenger seat before I got in and drove her back to her house. I parked in the driveway and shut off the car, moving to open my door and get out until I felt a hand on my arm. I paused with my hand on the door handle, looking over at (Name) curiously. She wasn't looking at me. She was looking down at her lap and her other hand was fiddling with the hem of her skirt, her cheeks dusted a light pink in the soft moonlight filtering through the car windows. "Levi, I had a lot of fun tonight. Thanks for going out with me." Her voice was quiet but loud enough for me to hear it at least. "I enjoyed it too. We should go out again sometime." I said, a standard response in my mind and it made her smile and lift her head to look over at me.

"I, um... Well, I-" She started, stuttering and then she huffed at herself which I found rather amusing. I watched her cheeks turn a darker pink as she shut her eyes, mustering up the courage to get out what she wanted to say. And I stared at her with wide eyes at what she said next, feeling my own face heat up a little at the thought of what the suggestion implied. "Will you stay over tonight?" Did she know what that implied? Or was I reading too much into it? Surely she didn't mean she wanted to sleep with me on our first date? But then again, maybe that was exactly what she wanted. I was speechless, shocked, stumped on what to respond with.

She beat me to it though, looking back down at her lap and letting go of my arm. "If you don't want to that's okay. I just, well, I want to..." She paused and gripped the fabric of her skirt. "I know what I'm implying too, but if that's too much for you then-"

"I'll stay." I cut her off after hearing that, not about to pass up this chance. I carefully placed a hand on her shoulder to get her to look over at me without spooking her and she hesitantly met my eyes. "If you get uncomfortable with anything, you tell me and I'll back off, okay? I won't do anything to you that you aren't ready for." I told her in a very serious tone and she nodded in silence but I saw the nervousness in her eyes slip away with my reassurance. She smiled happily too and I slid my hand from her shoulder to the back of her neck, slowly leaning over the center console until my lips were hovering about an inch away from hers, waiting for any kind of resistance.

I watched her eyes close and I smiled ever so slightly before closing my eyes as well, closing the distance between our lips with a soft kiss. Her lips were warm and much softer than they'd looked; they even tasted faintly like watermelon, the fake kind but still recognizable. I pulled away before we could go too far out here in the car. That would be very indecent. And not just because it was technically illegal, but because I wanted anything that happened between us tonight to be just us, no potential bystanders. She seemed to get the point, getting out of the car by herself and waiting for me. Once I got out and locked the car, I took her hand and we went inside her house.

Almost as soon as the door was closed two slender arms snaked around my shoulders and my view of the house was blocked by her but I closed my eyes to enjoy the kiss she planted on my lips, wrapping my arms around her middle in return. Our lips moved in perfect sync even as I swiped my tongue over her bottom lip to ask for access to her mouth. She parted her lips without any hesitation and I pushed my tongue past them into her mouth. Hers rubbed against mine, fighting lazily for dominance over her own mouth but allowed me to have it.

Her hands traveled up into my hair as we continued to kiss like that and I moved my hands to rest them on her hips, slowly moving them down the sides of her thighs until I could just get my fingers under the hem of her dress to hike it up. I got my hands under the skirt of her dress to hold onto her ass. (Name) rose up onto her toes slightly, pressing herself closer to me as I gave her rear a light squeeze. She'd seemed so nervous in the car but now she was getting into it and, damn it, so was I. I just couldn't help it. My crush on her may have been a long time ago but it was obvious that my feelings hadn't changed, only been buried and were trying to come out all at once now that I'd been given a chance at the one thing I'd wanted since before freshman year of high school.
