The Jezebel Files

Levi pinned my hands above my head, speared me with a hot look that sizzled through me, and crushed his mouth to mine. The kiss was explosive, almost violent in its passion, and I reveled in it. He still held my hands in his iron grip, so I wrapped my legs around his waist, trying to worm closer. His lips were full and smooth and his stubble scratched my chin, sending tremors through me.  


Levi broke the kiss to look at me, his eyes practically smoky in their desire. We stayed there like that a moment, then his hold on my hands loosened. Gently, tenderly, he brought his hands to my face and kissed me with incredible sweetness. 


I tried to push him off me, because we didn't play that way.  


He kissed me again, a long slow drug of a kiss. "Surrender," he whispered, trailing kisses down the hollow of my neck. 


"Never," I sighed, leaning my head back. 


Unclasping my bra, he flung it across the room. He took one of my nipples into his mouth and suckled it.
