“I’m really sure. What do you say?”
“After all this romance what else can I say but yes?”
“And now that’s settled,” he said, walking her backward toward the bed, “it’s time for that other thing I had planned.”
“What other thing?” she asked innocently.
“It starts like this.” He slipped his hands beneath her sweater and pushed it up until she raised her arms so he could pull it off over her head. His eyes darkened to the deep blue of the sky at dusk. “Then this,” he said, unbuttoning and unzipping her slacks. He pushed them down over her hips and she stepped out of her shoes and the pants, leaving her wearing a jade-green push-up bra and panty set.
“Wow,” Levi said, tracing his index finger along the upper edge of the bra. “Very pretty. These match your eyes.”
He cupped her breasts, then pulled down the bra and lifted out her breasts. He sucked and licked her nipples, teasing them to hard, aching nubs. Dana moved back and took off the bra and while she did, Levi quickly got rid of his clothes.
They fell together on the bed, rolling over in their haste. Dana put her palms on Levi’s chest and followed with her mouth, sliding her hands down to stroke and caress him. He grabbed for a condom, rolled it down to cover himself and flipped her on her back. For a moment he paused above her, smiled and kissed her mouth, sliding inside her in one sure stroke.
Dana wrapped her arms and legs around him, lifting her hips to meet his thrusts. Each thrust pushed her higher and higher until she peaked and cried out at the same time she heard Levi give a guttural groan.
After a bit, he rolled off of her and disappeared into the bathroom. When he came back he slid into bed and pulled her back into his arms.
Dana heaved a satisfied sigh. Tracing a finger over his chest, she said, “I don’t want you to regret this.”
“Having sex? Are you kidding?”
She pinched him lightly. “No, silly, me moving in with you.”
“I won’t regret it. When is your lease up?”
“Not for another couple of weeks.”
“But you can move anytime, right?”
“I guess so.”
“Good. How’s tomorrow?”

Levi stood with Harlan, drinking a beer, as they watched Savannah and Dana cooing over the baby. That was the only word for it. Both women wore that dreamy earth mother expression. Savannah transferred the baby into Dana’s arms. Dana rocked him like she’d been doing it forever. She put him up on her shoulder and patted his back until he burped. Cuddling him in her arms she looked at Levi with her eyes shining and said, “Isn’t he precious, Levi?”
“He’s a cute baby,” Levi said, though he wouldn’t have known if the baby wasn’t cute. To Levi he just looked like a baby. Pretty much any baby.
“Do you want to hold him, Levi?” Savannah asked.
“Me? God no. I mean, I’m afraid I’d drop him or something.”
Harlan rescued him by asking him about further remodeling of his house. “Are you certain about not changing your kitchen?”
“Asher says not to. He’s progressing well with his prosthetic leg and he doesn’t feel that he needs it. For one thing, it’s not like he cooks, and the refrigerator is accessible when he’s using the wheelchair. And he keeps talking about getting a place of his own.” Levi had mixed emotions about that. On one hand he was glad Asher wanted his independence, but he worried about him and didn’t want him to rush it.
“Where’s he going to go? Doesn’t he need adaptive housing?”
“To a certain extent, yes. But I’ve been told in no uncertain terms to back off and let him handle that. He really hates admitting he might need help.” Even from his brother. Asher knew Levi had plenty of money, but his brother had told him that he wasn’t going to “mooch” off of him. He had money and could pay his own way. Levi understood that his independence was important to him, especially now that he’d lost his leg.
Dana handed the baby back to Savannah who took him to Harlan and said, “Your turn.”
Harlan said something to her and they both left the room, saying they’d be back.
“Aren’t they sweet?” Dana asked with a sigh.
