Chapter Sixteen

“I came to meet my friends,” Lily told Levi, for at least the tenth time in so many minutes. He kept teasing her, insisting that she’d come to see him.

“Sure ya did,” the bartender said with a wink as he went to take a newly arrived couple’s order.

Looking around, she couldn’t believe how packed the place was. All of the tables in the dining area were full. The three pool tables in the back all had groups of people hovered around them, players and spectators alike. And the bar itself looked to hold about fifty people and there were only a handful of stools open.

To his credit, Levi seemed to be handling the crowd like a pro. Everyone was served and happy. She watched as he filled several orders at once, chatting with some customers.

On paper. Levi had it all. He was cute, funny, and tattooed, and he definitely screamed bad boy. But Lily looked at him and felt nothing.

No sparks. No fireworks. No volcanic eruption of tingles.

Which was exactly what happened when she looked at Eric. Or kissed Eric. Or just thought about Eric.

The last few nights that he’d come over to drop off Shadow, he’d definitely left her hot and bothered. Not that she minded. Those few stolen moments they’d been sharing every day had been some of the best of her life.

She loved the way that the second she opened the door he would press her up against the wall and kiss her senseless. It felt raw. Like Eric needed to kiss her as much as he needed his next breath. It was a heady feeling to have that kind of attention focused solely on you.

Every night he ended the kiss the same way. By reluctantly pulling away and, in a very serious tone, saying that they needed to talk. And every night she would just nod her head, not really able to form words in her lust-drunken state. Then he would kiss her once more, turn and leave.

They hadn’t actually gotten around to the ‘talking’ part of the program yet. Which was just fine by Lily. In fact, if all they ever did was kiss, Lily would be perfectly content.

Well, that wasn’t true. They would definitely need to move things past the kissing stage if she was going to be truly satisfied. But she would definitely take kissing over talking any day of the week.

“You sure I can’t get you anything else?” Levi asked as he walked past her and opened up the cooler, grabbing a few beers. “It’s on the house.”

“No, I’m good, but thanks.”

Taking another sip of her water, she wondered just what Eric wanted to talk to her about. Was it her? Her past? Was it them?

In Lily’s experience, the few guys she’d been involved with actually appreciated the fact that she didn’t like to talk about herself, her past, or any kind of relationship status. They genuinely seemed to prefer it that way. But Eric had told her three nights in a row that they needed to “talk.
