The Honeymoon (Unedited)
~~~~

Levi held my hand the entire time he drove us to my place. I had to sit on my other hand to keep it warm, not that it was freezing, but because in his presence, I had lost all feelings on my toes and fingers. All the warmth pooled in my center.

Yup, it was finally going to happen.

Thank goodness we had that visit at the spa and I'd suffered through excruciating minutes of epilation. The tricky part would be peeling out of the Spanx I was wearing underneath the dress. Could I do it in front of him and still look sexy?

I shivered remembering how unsexy I had been putting it on earlier.

Maybe I could get him to wait in the living room and excuse myself like those black and white actresses back in the days. I'd say "Let me put on something more comfortable," in my sultriest voice. Even in my head it sounded all wrong. I needed to channel those famous vixens: Marilyn Monroe, Betti Paige, Jessica Rabbit, Miss Piggy.

Miss Piggy? Oh no, I was stuck on Miss Piggy!

Miss Piggy was only sexy to Kermit the Frog. And Levi was no frog. I would be sounding like a throaty muppet pig... and I was wearing flesh-colored Spanx and a pig-pink dress!

Levi lifted our hands together and kissed over mine, taking my mind away from my wary thoughts. "Something the matter? Are you cold?" He briefly looked at me with that über sexy smile while we were at a stop.

I shook my head, afraid that I would sound like a pink muppet pig. I couldn't risk my chances. If I had to keep quiet the entire time, I would. All I had to do was moan. I could do a sexy moan.

He leaned over and placed a swift kiss on my shoulder before driving again. Goosebumps covered my entire body. If that simple kiss could send me rocketing off to space, I couldn't even imagine what I would feel when we...

"Should I park here?"

"Hmmm?"

I didn't realize we had driven so quickly. maybe he was as eager as I was. I looked down to his crotch. If that wasn't eager then he had a rolled-up sock in his pants.

"I'm going to park here." He let go of my hand to change gears, then he smiled at me again. "Don't move." He gave me quick kiss.

I watched him get out of the car, (checked out his trouser-covered butt) and walk around to my side, opening the door as he got there. He offered his hand for me to take as I stepped out.

Hand in hand, we moved to the front door of my apartment. Levi showed off a crooked smile as he leaned against the wall beside my door. I had to instruct myself for the play-by-play: take out my key, unlock my door, kiss Levi, get him naked etcetera etcetera.

Step one was fairly successful, minus the fumbling with my key to unlock my apartment. I stuffed my keys back into my clutch without opening the door, and turned to Levi.

How did I get so lucky? I copied his stance, leaning against the doorjamb, and smiling.

Levi leaned his head forward, tickling my chin with his warm breath as he trailed kisses from my jaw to my neck and up again to my lips. I ran my fingers through his thick, soft hair, and moaned against his kisses.

He replied with his sexier, masculine version of my moan, and my lower stomach clenched. Levi pulled back enough to be able to stare at my eyes.

"My sweet Veronica, I love you."

I hummed, gazing back at his dreamy eyes. Levi grazed my cheek with the back of his fingers and gave me another deep kiss. His hands roved all over my waist, hips and my behind, pressing me against his rolled-up sock. No, definitely not a rolled-up sock, much more appealing and intense than that.

"Are you free today?"

What was that? Did he just ask me something? It was a little hard to think through my hazy thoughts. "Yes." I was sure that was the right answer.

"Perfect." He nibbled at my bottom lip. "I'll see you later then."

"Okay," I whispered out my response. Wait, what? "What?"

Levi bit the bottom of my lip as he stared at my lips. "Get some sleep. I'll be back later." He wrapped his arms around me and squeezed, taking in a deep breath as he did. "Sweet dreams, sweet Veronica."

He stepped around me, and I watched him walk back to his sleek car. He sent me another quick look and a sinful smile before driving away.

What the heck just happened?

My hands trembled as I went into my apartment. I was at a lost. I was pretty sure that wasn't supposed to happen. I should be having sweet, sweet love to that man right now.

Had I just blown my chances?

****
Needless to say, I couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned for a few hours before accepting the fact that it would never happen-- sleep, and possibly, sex with Levi.

I was frustrated, agonizing over reasons, and tying to come up with excuses why he had left. I couldn't come up with any. Anything that sounded good at least. Maybe I was a lousy kisser. I groaned.

Grabbing my phone, I checked the time. I could make it to Torture. An hour and a half of putting my body through the ringer could help me release some pent-up frustration.

Curse Levi for turning me into a wanton woman, and then leaving me high and dry. No, not dry, far from dry.

Chase was shocked as I came, dragging my feet up the steps of the gym.

"What the hell are you doing here? I thought you'd be"-- she gyrated her hips --"with Mister Man?"

"There was none of that." My anger was displaced, stomping to the back of the class.

Chase followed me, laughing hysterically at my demise. "Who would have thought that Mister Sex God would turn into a perfect gentleman?"

I turned my head so fast that I thought I had popped a vein. "What do you mean?"

"Nothing." Chase pointed at the front of the room, where DD started our Torture.

Right after, I skipped the shower and stuffed my things into a gym bag.

"What? No shower?"

"I'll shower at home," I grumbled.

Chase snickered. "I get it. You don't want other people to hear you taking care of yourself while in the shower. Home is better. Quieter." She winked.

I gaped at her but wasn't quick enough to respond.

"Are you coming to work today?" Chase asked while she fiddled with her phone.

"Levi said he's coming back later. I just don't know when." I shrugged the strap of my gym bag over my shoulder. "Just call me for emergencies."

Chase started laughing, not at me, but at something she was reading on her phone. "Got it, emerg only." She lifted her head up and grinned. "Have a great day!"

I squinted my eyes at her retreating form. What was she up to now? I waved at her and chased down Diego.

"Are you mad at someone?" Diego asked me.

I knitted my brows together. "Why would you say that?"

"You pushed harder today than any other day. I thought the wedding would tire you a bit."

If I told him it had to do with a certain man making hot under my collar (and other parts), he'd ask more questions and I wouldn't have any answers for him. So I diverted his attention. "What's going on with you and Nathali?"

Diego inhaled sharply. He didn't expect that. He rubbed his chin, possibly contemplating what he could tell me. "We're seeing each other tonight. For a talk."

"A talk?"

"Yes."  He seemed awfully shy, and although he was a large man, shyness suited him.

I narrowed my eyes at my trainer. He went for the truth which was commendable. He could also have told me that it was none of my business. So I let him off the hook. For now. 

"Well, you know how to get a hold of me if you need to talk," I reminded him.

"Thank you, Nica," he said in a lowered voice. I couldn't help but think that if Diego and Nathali hooked up before me and Levi, I would scream.

I tried to wrap my arms around his whole body but he was too thick. "Good luck," I pressed a quick kiss on the side of his face, and then I walked back to my car. I hopped in and headed home, hoping that the shower waiting for me would make me feel much better, and reminding myself that I shouldn't consider what Chase had suggested.

As I neared my apartment, I saw Levi's car parked where he did just hours before, and found him standing by my door. I tried not to let him see how giddy I was, and schooled my face into something more neutral.

What if he left again?

"Good morning, beautiful," he greeted me with a kiss as I neared him.

I stepped back, remembering that I had skipped shower at the gym. I must smell like a thousand elephants in the Serengeti right now. I tucked back the stray hairs behind my ears.

"What are you doing here?"

"I told you I'll be back today." He lifted the canvas bag he was holding. "I brought breakfast."

I let a small smile appear on my face as I unlocked the door. Levi followed me in. 

"Kitchen's through there." I raised a finger to point him to the right direction.

"Perfect." Levi held me back with a hand on my arm. "You shower and I'll be making breakfast." He tilted my him up and seared my lips with a hot kiss.

I'd be thinking of that while I showered for sure.

What was a girl supposed to wear at an impromptu breakfast date with the man she loved?

I scoured my closet and drawers for the right things to wear. Sweet smells from my kitchen wafted through the slightly opened bedroom door.

I picked my sexiest black lace bra and matching panties, but I couldn't decide if I should wear a dress, a blouse and a skirt or pants? Or nothing else but my undies?

My hands flew to my hips, as I faced my full-length mirror, and heaved out a sigh. I looked good. I had toned up from the exercises and better eating habits. But did I look sexy enough?

Recalling the numerous women Levi had dated or brought with him to galas and events-- their legs up to their necks, their small waists, and narrow hips, their graceful necklines and pouty lips --I had a sense of doubt. I wasn't like any of them. Maybe that was the reason why he backed out last night.

But he was back now. Making me breakfast. And probably waiting for me.

At the end, I chose a simple dress with fluttery hem, and paired it with white wedges.

I stopped short as I entered the small kitchen, finding Levi at the stove, with my red and white stripe, unused apron around his waist. He was cooking. He was making something yummy, but nothing could be yummier than a man who can cook, especially when I had no clue how to. I enjoyed food, good food, but I couldn't wrap my head around a recipe.

Levi turned around and showed off his perfect smile. "There you are." He sauntered to me with a spatula in his hand. "I was starting to think I'd have to get into the shower to drag you out."

That was a choice? Next time, Nica, stay in the gosh darn shower!

He nuzzled the apex on my neck and shoulder, lifting my chin up to give him better access to whatever he wanted to nuzzle. "Go wait at the table and I'll bring you your breakfast." He sounded awfully bossy. I wore a secret smile as I walked to my dining table, thinking of Levi bossing me around. At this rate (and judging by how much my fingers itched to grip him and keep him pressed to my body), I would do just about anything he'd ask.

Levi presented me with crêpes with fresh berries and whipped cream, and a piping hot coffee. Not including the sugar in the coffee, I knew he had brought every ingredient with him, which meant everything had been well thought. I moaned at the flavors, and realized that Levi had been watching me eat. Lack of sleep, tough workout, and the rush that I had to go through finding Levi at my doorstep had turned me into a ravenous woman.

"Good?" His smile was infectious as he angled towards me. I popped the last piece of my crêpe into my mouth and moaned again. "I love watching you eat." My cheeks reddened, and I tried to hide it behind my cup of coffee.

Levi pulled my legs together, causing me to face him. "I was hoping we could spend the whole day together." I took a sip of coffee, nodding in agreement. Who wouldn't want a full day with this desirable man? Thoughts of spending the hours upon hours in my bedroom with a naked Levi hit me hard, but he had a different something else in mind. "We can go to the market, have lunch, and pick up a few ingredients for dinner back here?"

It was a beautiful plan. It was a perfect plan. We'd be relaxed, comfortable, and in each other's company. Memories of touring in Paris drew me in even more, remembering how Levi and I were good together. This day would prove that.
