The Split

Chapter 8

Levi hadn't even registered the thought until she felt the pressure of his kiss, even then she was kissing him back. She moved his hand from her chin, wrapped a hand along his neck and gave into the pleasure that was his kiss. His was one of searching at first, forceful. He took her top lip into his mouth, gently licked it and took her full mouth. Levi found herself moving into his body space and kissed him more feverishly.
They had both lost track of time during, she pulled away first. Fingers to her lips, they were swollen and she was in shock. He looked at her and then put his head down and looked at the ground.

He had finally kissed her. Had he done it before so, then he was sure it wouldn't have been a hard choice between both women.

Levi got up from the lounge and walked inside. It was a mistake,right? Olivia  had given her the blessing but she still felt guilty. They weren't together anymore, why would she feel guilty? It made no sense, walking into the entry way she thought about making an escape but then, a thought came to her. 'Why are you running away?' it was bound to happen either now or 2 years ago, so the latter was chosen and yes it was an intense moment that she didn't want to end, and hopefully he felt the same way. But it still felt wrong.
"Levi."
Zak was behind her, looking at her from the foray just standing there.
'...'
She couldn't speak, she just looked at him. She drank in the image of him standing there, black clothes, tall frame, his face looking rather sad and confused.
"Please, just talk to me. Do you regret the kiss?"
'..no'
"So then why are you running away?"
'I don't know, i feel very guilty about what just happened and I can't explain it.' Levi backed herself into a wall, she needed something to hold her up as if her legs were going to give out right under her. Zak walked slowly towards her, he knew why she felt guilty. Before they both knew it, he was right in front of her, reaching out to hold her she shied away, he wasn't going to let her pull away from him now. Putting both hands out to her, he felt her hands tremble and shake. He closed the gap between them, pulled her into a hug and all he felt was her ragged breathing and shaking. Levi had rested her forehead on his shoulder, a hug from him was better than anything in the world, it could repair broken hearts and damaged souls. He smelled like fire, wood, something spiced and light. It made her head swim abit, she was getting drunk on his scent, his body was warm and the hug lasted for a long time. She didn't want to break contact, neither did he. She pulled away to look up at him, this time only she made the first move and kissed him. Just lips on lips. No movement just touching. He pressed against hers, she ended up pressing back. Once more they were making out against that wall, he was so close to her and found herself trying to burrow herself inside of him as they continued the assault on each others mouths.

After a moment or two, she pulled away. She couldn't breathe, he was panting for air. His hands found her face again and cupped it, he laid small kisses on her nose, both cheeks, forehead and eyelids. Levi placed her hands on his, bringing them down in between them. Still they hadn't said a word, heads down, they just played with each others fingers, it was a moment. Another strong moment.
'Stay with me tonight.'
His voice was raspy, looking up again at her and searched for her to say something. If she said no, then he wouldn't bear it. If she said yes...
"Okay"
That second thought was dropped.
'Wait here.'
Zak walked back outside, extinguished the fire, locked the patio doors and came back with a bottle in one hand and set the alarm for around the house. Taking her left hand, he led her upstairs to master bedroom.
It was nearly 3am.
