**Chapter 13: Claimed**

Part 13

As the warmth of Levi's body seeped into hers, Kenzy's thoughts began to clear, and she pulled away from him, turning to face him. She looked up at him, her eyes searching for answers. "Wait, but what are we…are we dating..? Are we boyfriend and girlfriend?" she asked, her voice laced with a mix of curiosity and uncertainty. Levi's expression didn't change, but a hint of a smile played on his lips. He looked down at her, his eyes burning with intensity. "You're mine, I'm yours," he said, his voice low and husky. "So, I guess boyfriend and girlfriend." Kenzy's face broke out into a soft smile as she processed his words. She had expected something more definitive, something more romantic, but Levi's straightforwardness was endearing. She felt a sense of relief wash over her, followed by a flutter in her chest. Levi's eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled back at her. "Is that okay with you?" he asked, his voice a little softer now. Kenzy nodded, her smile growing wider. "Yeah, it's okay with me," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. Levi's smile deepened, and he reached out, gently brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "Good," he said, his voice full of satisfaction. "I'm glad we cleared that up." Kenzy felt a sense of happiness wash over her, and she leaned into his touch, enjoying the gentle caress of his fingers on her skin. She looked up at him, her eyes locking with his, and for a moment, they just stared at each other, the air thick with tension and possibility. As they stood there, Kenzy realized that she had never felt this way about anyone before. She had never felt so seen, so heard, so claimed. And she knew that she was ready to explore this newfound connection with Levi, to see where it would take them. Levi's eyes seemed to bore into her soul, as if searching for something, and Kenzy felt her heart skip a beat. She knew that she was his, and he was hers, and that was all that mattered. For now, that was enough.
