Chapter Eight

Levi froze as Meredith's lips touched his. Her movements were feverish, almost desperate, pulling him to her, trying to encourage his lips to part. His zodiac mark burned so hotly it felt as if it were searing through his entire ribcage. Gently, but with purpose, Levi pushed her back, moving himself away from her. He didn't want to let her down hard, but he couldn't be with her like this. Before now, he hadn't even thought of Meredith as a possible sexual partner. Yes, she had worn revealing clothing around him and flirted a bit, but not enough to make him think she had wanted this so directly from him.

"Hey there, tiger..." Levi looked into her wide blue eyes. He smiled at her, hoping to show he wasn't upset with her. He should be, but he couldn't muster the emotion. She didn't know he was bonded to another, even if they had yet to follow the bonding path. She was merely human.

"Levi, please." Her lips pouted, and she batted her lashes.

"I can't right now. Please understand. This is not the time for such things, and I hope to keep our friendship intact." He lifted her chin. He could have sworn there was a sheen to her eyes as if he'd hurt her feelings, but she glanced away, back toward the house. Damn. Had Sadie watched the interaction? Levi resisted the urge to look over his shoulder. He would have to deal with it when he went back in.

"I'm good. Don't worry. Looks like you have your plate full anyways." Meredith’s voice came out in a pitiful whimper that grated on his nerves.

"Thanks for understanding, sweetheart." Levi would not let this interaction with a customer spoil the relationship. It was a mistake. That was all. Nothing more. He could let it go easily. "Now hop on in the car and come see me again when you’re ready for your next batch." He gave her a bright grin, hoping it showed more enthusiasm then he felt. The burning on his chest moved deeper, and he bit the inside of his cheek to control the pain.

Meredith rubbed against him as she slipped down to get in her car. To his surprise, his body didn't respond. Not even a flicker of interest below the waist.

"See you next time, handsome." Meredith didn't look at him as she opened the Corvette’s door and slid elegantly into the leather seat. He shut the door for her and stepped away as she turned the engine over. A sense of relief flooded him and yet apprehension as well. What kind of state would he find Sadie in? A tiny part of him thought about heading to his horse and riding along his land instead of going inside to face what he was sure would be a tornado. The invoked zodiac was enough to cause an emotional response, he could see her being jealous.

Meredith's tires spun out in his driveway as she took off. Levi let out a slow breath and turned to face his house.
