"What do you want, Levi?" He asked against my lips. My heart performed an erratic and barely stable dance. The butterflies in my stomach swarmed. "Say it", he growled as he gripped my waist.
In a breathless voice - barely above a whisper - I replied, "I-I can't, it's too embarrassing." He brushed his lips against my neck, his stubble prickling me. He found a spot just above my collarbone that made me gasp. I felt him smile against my skin, "Say it", he repeated as he started kneading the skin of my outer thighs.
This was a chess game and I think I'm about to lose.
