Daylight streams through the gaps in the curtains behind you and you blink slowly as your mind emerges from the clutches of sleep. Soft sheets caress your bare skin and as you turn your face into them, you inhale the familiar clean scent of Levi - your long-time friend turned embarrassing crush turned lover after the events of the previous night. You can't help the smile that blooms as you remember how very thoroughly he attended to your pleasure - a zing going up your spine causing you to squirm at the memory of the skill of his clever tongue and fingers.
The slight movement causes a soft groan from behind you and the arm you hadn't realized was wrapped around your waist tightens reflexively.
That's when it really hits you.
You are naked in Levi's bed and he is also naked - you know because you can currently feel every part of him - and he is spooning you. Granted, it's to be expected considering you'd had sex with him last night but that was last night - it was heated, and passionate, and dark. Now the sun is lighting up the room brilliantly and everything is calm and slow. You somehow feel more exposed than you did last night when Levi was literally inside of you. All of your insecurities make themselves known as you consider all possible reactions that Levi may have to you now that the frenzied lust has run its course.
You decide that you don’t want to face any of them. Your pulse jumps and you wiggle slightly, trying to loosen Levi's hold so you can get up and dressed without waking him. Lucky for you, Levi's shirt landed close by in your frantic undressing last night. You can see it crumpled on the floor just a few feet away from the edge of the bed where you lie.
Unlucky for you, Levi is an incredibly light sleeper.
You manage to scoot a whopping 3 inches away before he stirs and pulls you flush against him once more. He huffs a small whine against the back of your neck, lips brushing the sensitive skin as he exhales and mumbles your name.
“Levi.” It comes out in a strained puff. Your entire body tenses, temporarily frozen in panic.
“‘S'too early.” He grumbles in your hair.
A nervous laugh pushes past your lips as he digs his fingers into your (re: very bare) waist, “I'm sorry I woke you.” You gasp. Your body kicks back into drive and you wriggle uselessly against the steel trap of his arms, “I just need to get something and I'll be back, I promise.”
The long-suffering sigh he lets out ruffles the hairs around your ear. “Whaddaya need?” He slurs.
Your squirming does not stop though you know your strength is no match for his, “A shirt.”
“A shirt?” You feel his lips move into a frown at the top of your spine. He sounds more alert when he asks, “Why do you need a shirt?”
Heat floods your face and you finally relent- collapsing back into the warm and soft sheets in an attempt to further hide your face. The fabric muffles your response, “Because I'm completely nude Levi.”
A slow hand winds its way up and down your flank and his voice drops low, “Believe me, I'm aware.” He pauses his ministrations, which is very good for your sanity, and says “You wanna explain to me why that's a problem?”
Your voice squeaks and you have to clear it twice before answering, “Well, I just, uh, I think it would be, um, more comfortable in a shirt, you know? I mean, I love a good comfy t-shirt. Did I ever tell you about the time hange burned one of my favorites? She was doing one of her ridiculous experiments and, of course, it went horribly wrong. So what happened was-”
Levi cuts in with your name. “You're rambling. You only ramble when you're nervous.”
“Oh.” It's not very eloquent but it's all you can come up with at the moment.
“Yeah.” Levi sits up slightly, leaning on his left arm. He uses his right to grip your shoulder and turn you onto your back. He's smirking and you feel your face flame further at the self-satisfied expression. “Am I making you nervous?” He asks playfully.
He trails his eyes deliberately up and down your form, thankfully still covered by the sheets. You squirm a little under the heat of his gaze and look away. Levi notices. He raises an incredulous eyebrow, “Are you seriously feeling shy right now? After everything we got up to last night?”
You still can't bring yourself to look at him fully but you do see his smirk melt into a frown as he says your name and reaches to turn your face toward him. “Talk to me. Please.”
Your eyes well and the nervous rambling starts up again before you can find the brakes, “I guess I'm just feeling vulnerable because I know my body isn't, um, well it's - there are parts that I know aren't, uh, shaped the way you'd like them to be. And it's not. . . Not appealing or pleasing or whatever. And I know that that didn't stop you last night but it's different now. Last night was rushed and there was so much going on that you couldn’t really pay close attention and it was dark so you couldn't see anyway. But now it's slow and it's bright and I feel. . . Insecure.”
You had given your speech to some point on the ceiling but he catches your gaze again when he moves slowly to hover over you, one hand above each shoulder and knees planted outside of your thighs. His frown has nearly doubled in size and he sounds almost angry when he says, “That's the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard.”
You frown back at him but before you can come up with a retort, he continues, “Your body is shaped perfectly and I wouldn't want to change a single part of it.” He lowers his hips and leans forward, pressing the full thick length of himself into your hip and upper thigh, “And I find it very appealing.” He punctuates the statement with a small thrust that makes your mouth go dry.
He keeps his face inches from yours as he presses on, “Last night was rushed because I was so excited to finally see and touch you the way I've always wanted to that I couldn't hold myself back. But thinking that I wasn't paying attention despite that is pure,” He gives your lips a swift peck and thrusts into your hip again, “fucking,” another peck and thrust, “stupidity.”
“I was paying attention.” He gives you a much deeper kiss this time, tongue sliding past the barrier of your lips to trace the inside of your mouth. Your eyes fall shut and you stretch up into the kiss but Levi breaks it before you can truly lose yourself in it.
He moves his lips to your ear and his voice husks, “I was paying attention to the adorable little dimples at the base of your spine.” His left hand slips between your back and the mattress to press into the named features gently.
“I was paying attention to the birth mark on your hip.” He ducks his head down to lick and suck at the ink stain that sprawls across your right hip. He leaves it with a kiss before returning to your ear, “I was paying attention to the freckles sprinkled here,” he kisses the balls of both shoulders, “and here,” his lips dance across your collar bone, “and even the few scattered here,” he noses into the soft skin of your stomach.
The sheets waterfall off his back and pool at the foot of the bed as he rises to his haunches, leaving both of you completely bared to one another. There is a shuffling noise as he slides back to kiss your left calf, “I caught this scar,” he traces the jagged pink line with his tongue before moving to kiss the inside of your right knee, “and this one,” he lifts your left hand, kissing a burn mark on your pointer finger left by a kitchen mishap last week, “and this - though I don't think this one will scar.”
He pauses to study you for a while, taking in your flushed cheeks and heaving chest. A wry smile spreads across his face and his eyes lower. He dips his head to your waist, kissing up and down both sides. “I remember how your heartbeat picked up when I kissed you here,” he moves to your chest, swirling a tongue around one nipple before moving to the next, “and I could really hear it race here, but my favorite was the sound you made when I kissed you here.” He lunges forward and sucks a bruise into a spot below your ear. Sure enough, you squeal and push up into him, desperately chasing the pleasure now thrumming in your veins.
He pulls away grinning like the cat that got the cream. “Although it is hard to pick a favorite. There are so many other wonderful places that gave me such beautiful sounds too." His fingers drum softly on your mound, just short of where you suddenly find yourself needing them to be. You hold your breath in anticipation of them sliding lower and delivering mind-numbing pleasure, the way they did last night. Your eyes roll back and a broken moan escapes at the mere memory of it.
You hear Levi chuckle above you but his fingers don't move south as you expected, instead they travel up and cup your face softly, like it’s something to be treasured.
“Look at me.” He whispers and you do - how could you not when he asks so reverently? When you open your eyes, you find a look of complete adoration in his. “Do you understand?” He asks.
You're not sure you do but you nod dumbly anyway. You'd agree to anything with him staring at you like this. He laughs lowly and gives your face a gentle shake. “Listen. You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.” He says it with enough conviction to make you believe it despite your previous insecurities. “I was looking last night. And every night before that. Every chance I had. I know exactly what you look like - I’ve burned it into my memory. But if you'll let me, I'd be happy to give you a more thorough study now and share any new findings with you.”
He sucks gently at your jawline as he waits for an answer. The only one you are capable of giving at the moment is a frantic nod. He shakes his head and demands, “I need to hear it, love.”
You push past the lump in your throat and gasp, “Yes, Levi!”
The phrase is repeated over and over again as Levi keeps good on his promise, spending the rest of the morning - and part of the afternoon as well - studiously rediscovering each and every part of your body that he, evidently, already knows so well.
The shirt remains in a heap on the floor, totally forgotten.
