Being too close to Levina was beginning to cloud his senses. He would never have imagined sleeping on the same bed with a woman he was not married to, let alone kissing her. It was against his principles, and he prided himself on his principles. But with Levina, he easily discarded all his principles. She challenged him, pushed him to the edge, and made him question everything he believed in. Whenever he was with her, he felt alive and seen; with Levina, he felt heard and like he could be anything he wanted.
He wanted her with every fiber of his being. Whenever she was close, all he wanted to do was hold her in his arms, to whisper silent songs of passion into her ears, he wanted to feel the warmth of her lips and the grace of her skin. She was beautiful, and he wanted to let her know in every way possible.
