“Levi—”

He kissed her neck again, kept one hand on her breast and slid the other down to stroke her through the panties. Then he slipped it inside and stroked her sex, loving the way she opened for him.

“You’re driving me mad,” she said huskily.

“That’s the point.” He continued to tease and caress her until they were both on the brink of explosion.

Finally, Dana turned in his arms and pushed him back onto the bed. Before following him down she took out a condom from her bedside table drawer. Then she straddled his legs and rolled the condom on with excruciating, painstaking slowness. He was surprised he didn’t come before she got through.

Dana impaled herself on his cock, riding him slowly at first and then faster, her head thrown back in abandon.

“You have no idea how sexy you look right now.”

“Like what?” she gasped. “Naked?”

He slid his hand into her hair and drew her down to kiss her. “Naked and about to come.”

There was no more talking, just moans and groans and sounds of pleasure until he erupted inside her at the same time as her feminine muscles clenched around him and she called his name as she climaxed.

Eventually, Dana rolled off him and he got up to get rid of the condom. He came back to bed and cuddled her against his chest. God, I’m in trouble. Deep, deep trouble.

He loved her. He’d always loved her. He’d been deluding himself to think he could have a casual relationship with Dana. But did Dana want a serious relationship? Maybe she didn’t. What would he do then?

Seeing her here in Whiskey River with all their friends, friends who were having babies and making families… If Dana committed herself to him she’d want it all. Marriage and children. A family. And she deserved to have it all. What could he offer her or a child of his? He’d had a shitty childhood. Shittier parents. The brother he loved. The brother he’d failed.

Why was he worrying about the two of them having children when he wasn’t even sure they could or would stay together past the end of his remodeling project? There was still a long way to go on his house, especially if Dana finished the kitchen remodel. And she’d given no indication that she wouldn’t.

“Levi?” Dana had been lying on his chest, tracing idle patterns with a finger but now she turned her head to look up at him. “What’s wrong?”

“Not a thing,” he said, and kissed her.

Live in the present. Don’t worry about the past or the future. Just enjoy what you have with Dana in the now. Because that might be all you have.

Chapter Twelve

Levi was out in his workshop working on Asher’s virtual assistant. And cussing. He couldn’t get the damn voice quite right, in part because he didn’t know who Asher would want her to sound like. The last time he’d seen Asher, just a little over a week ago, he’d asked his brother for suggestions. Asher’s response had been to stare at Levi like he was crazy and say, “I don’t give a shit.”

Which was pretty much Asher’s response to everything now.

He heard a knock on the door and called out, “Come in.”

“Hi, are you in the middle of something?” Dana asked. “I can come back if you are.”

Levi set aside the virtual assistant with a sigh. “No, I’m having a hard time with this damn virtual assistant. I could use a break. What’s going on?”

“I’ve got bad news.”

“How bad?”

“I’ll let you judge. The tile we want for the bathroom is backordered.”

“Both kinds? The small and the large?”

“I’m afraid so.”

“I thought you checked on availability before you ordered it?”

She frowned. “I did. The person I talked to assured me there would be no problem, that the manufacturer had plenty of both tiles in stock. Today I got a call from the tile shop saying that the man who I talked to had been let go and they were sorry but those particular tiles are backordered for months. They apologized all over the place but there’s nothing they can do about it. Other than offer us a discount on any other tile you choose.”
