Chapter 9

Levi

Harper is standing in her doorway looking adorably sexy in a way only she could pull off. She has on these tiny pajama shorts and a worn out GSU t-shirt that hangs off one shoulder. Her beautiful hair is braided and thrown over one shoulder. To complete the look, she has on dark rimmed glasses that are really doing it for me right now. I mean… fuck. I’m hard as a fucking rock.

She’s looking at me with her head tilted to one side, and I realize she must have asked me a question.

“Sorry. What did you say, sweetheart?”

“Why are you here?” She repeats. She crosses her arms over her chest in what I’m guessing is a defensive move, but her voice gives her away. It’s sweet and tentative.

“You left. I looked all over for you. That damn party went on for so much longer than I thought it would and I got away as soon as possible.”

“Right. But… so, why are you here?”

It’s my turn to give her a questioning look. When I don’t give her an answer, she continues on, squaring her shoulders and getting a bit more confident.

“I mean, this is what you do, right? You let me make a fool out of myself whenever you’re around and then you leave. I get it. We won’t ever be a ‘thing,’ and you got to have sex with me, and now you’re going back to Chicago in a few weeks. So, I’ll ask again. Why the hell are you here?”

I’ve never seen Harper this angry. I’ve also never had words physically pain me before.

“Harper… Jesus, I don’t even know where to begin, baby. Can I come in? We can talk about everything, yeah?”

“No! I’m done being jerked around. Just let me lick my wounds in peace,” she yells. I’m taken aback by her tone and feeling like a total asshole that I gave her any wounds in the first place. “Please, Levi,” she adds in a whisper. I almost don’t hear it.

I’m trying to think of anything I can say that will convince her let me in so I can explain. She’s got tears in her beautiful blue-green eyes and it fucking guts me. “Frick! Why am I always crying in front of you?”

I decide not to wait for her to let me in. I reach out and take her by the hips, pulling her out of the doorway and into my chest. Wrapping my arms around her, I hold her close, tucking her head into my chest and nuzzling her hair.

She struggles half-heartedly for all of ten seconds before dissolving into me, wrapping her arms around my torso.

“I’m so sorry, sweet girl. I’m not going anywhere. I meant what I said in your room. You’re mine, Harper. I tried fighting it, I thought it was for your own good. I swear, everything I did was to protect you.”

“So what changed?” She mumbles into my chest.

“What changed? Every time I see you my skin is on fire and my heart feels like it’s trying to escape my chest and join you.
