A Moment's Reprieve

Part 9

The air was thick with the aftermath of their passion, the room silent except for the heavy breathing that still lingered between them. Kenzy lay beside Levi, her fingers tracing the lines of his chest as she tried to catch her breath. She couldn't help but feel the satisfaction that came with sating his hunger, and her own. Levi's eyes seemed to bore into her, his gaze intense as he whispered, "You're not satisfied yet, are you?" His voice was laced with a hint of wonder, and Kenzy shook her head, her lips curving into a sly smile. "No," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm just getting started." Levi's face broke into a grin, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he wrapped a hand around her wrist, pulling her closer. Kenzy felt her body respond to his touch, her insides fluttering with anticipation. "Baby, I think we should take a rest, don't you think?" Kenzy suggested, her voice husky with desire. She was trying to sound reasonable, but her body seemed to have other plans. Levi's expression turned skeptical, and he raised an eyebrow. "A rest?" he repeated, his voice dripping with amusement. "You want to take a rest now?" Kenzy nodded, her eyes locking on his. "Yeah, I think we should. We've been going at it for hours." Levi's face softened, and he pulled her into his chest. "You're tired?" he asked, his voice low and smooth. Kenzy nodded, feeling a pang of guilt for wanting to slow down. But her body was screaming for a reprieve, and she knew she couldn't keep going at this pace. Levi seemed to consider her words, his eyes narrowing as he searched her face. After a moment, he nodded, his chest rising and falling with a deep breath. "Okay, we can take a rest," he said, his voice low and husky. "But just for a little while." Kenzy smiled, feeling a wave of relief wash over her. She snuggled into Levi's side, letting his warmth seep into her bones. As they lay there, Levi's fingers began to stroke her skin, sending shivers down her spine. Kenzy closed her eyes, letting his touch wash over her. "You're going to sleep, aren't you?" Levi asked, his voice dripping with amusement. Kenzy nodded, feeling her eyelids drooping. "Yeah, I think I am." Levi's response was to pull her closer, his arms wrapping around her like a vice. "I'm not letting you go anywhere," he whispered, his breath hot against her ear. "You're mine, and I'm not letting you sleep just yet." Kenzy's eyes fluttered open, and she met Levi's gaze. He was smiling, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I was thinking we could take a nap," she said, trying to sound reasonable. Levi's face darkened, and he whispered, "You're not getting out of this that easily." Kenzy laughed, feeling a thrill of excitement at the prospect of another round. She knew she was in trouble, but she couldn't help the way her body responded to Levi's touch. As they lay there, wrapped in each other's arms, Kenzy felt her eyelids drooping. She knew she wouldn't be able to sleep for long, not with Levi's hands still roaming over her body. But for now, she was content to simply be, to let his warmth seep into her bones and his love wash over her. The room seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them, lost in their own little world of desire and passion. And in that moment, Kenzy knew she was exactly where she was meant to be. Levi's fingers danced across her skin, sending shivers down her spine. She closed her eyes, letting his touch wash over her. "I love you," Levi whispered, his voice low and husky. Kenzy's response was to smile, her eyes drifting closed as she let his words wash over her. "I love you too," she whispered back.
