Hope’s POV

“You’re not going, Levi, and that’s final,” I told him while we were in bed.

He was currently drying my hair with a towel, and over the past few days, I couldn’t help but notice how domestic we had. become. The simple routines all felt so natural that sometimes I forgot this kind of happiness was something I had once believed I would never have.

“What to do?” he asked, peeking over my head and smiling at me.

It was actually unfair how good he looked even from this angle.

“I already told them that I would go. I’ll go in as Levi Reeve and introduce myself as your boyfriend.”

My cheeks heated up.

Hearing him call himself my boyfriend out loud still felt so new. Every single time he said it, my heart fluttered helplessly inside my chest, and a familiar warmth settled low in my stomach.

We still hadn’t had sex since I left Manhattan, and looking at him right now, I couldn’t deny it. I was craving it. I was craving him.

“Do you know how big of a fuss that’s going to make?” I softly asked. “Not only will they make a scene, but the media will catch on. We’re going to be confirming our relationship.”

He stopped drying my hair and set the towel aside before sitting next to me.

“And so?” he asked without a care in the world. y

My breath hitched.

“It’s not like I have a contract that forbids me from having a relationship. I’ve never planned on keeping this relationship a secret anyway.”

I pursed my lips.

“Once we go public-”

“There’s no turning back, I know,” he interrupted. “I’ll take responsibility, Hope. I know what it entails because people will naturally become more curious. But we don’t owe them anything. I’ll make sure they don’t bother you.”

I slowly turned toward him and searched his eyes.

“But what if we break up?”

His eyes darkened instantly. For a brief second, he looked stunned, as though the thought had never crossed his mind.

“Break up?” he repeated, scooting closer.

“You’re thinking about breaking up?”

Timmediately shook my head.

“Of course not! I’m just saying just in case!”

“We’re not going to break up. Hope”

“I’m just talking about a theoretical situation,” I muttered.

“Don’t even think about it. Us breaking up is impossible.”

He slid a hand beneath my chin before capturing my lips.

The kiss came without warning, rough enough to steal every coherent thought from my mind. I had no choice but to surrender to the rhythm of his lips as they claimed mine with certainty.

His tongue brushed against mine, leaving me even more speechless than before. The familiar heat of him made every thought inside my head dissolve into a hopeless mess.

“What?” he whispered against my lips, the soft brush of his mouth sending another shiver through me. “Are we still going to break up?”

“No.” I shook my head. “It’s impossible to break up.”

“That’s right.” he murmured. “Don’t ask that question again.”

“I won’t ever feel this way with anyone. You’re the only one in this life.”

Every single word that left his lips stole another breath from me.

“How could you be so certain?” I asked before I could stop myself.

He let out a quiet sigh before gently tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ear.

“Are you not certain of me?” he asked.

“I am!”

“You don’t even know how crazy I felt when I couldn’t reach out to you. There wasn’t a single day when I stopped thinking about you, and I don’t think it’s going to stop anytime soon.”

His gaze softened.

“I think it’s going to last a lifetime. No… I know it’s going to last a lifetime.”

“There wasn’t a day I didn’t think about you either. Even when I tried distracting myself, everything somehow reminded me of you.”

I let out a small, embarrassed laugh.

When I looked at Levi again, there was an incredibly satisfied look on his face.

I pursed my lips.

Did I say too much

“Ah, fuck,” he muttered, dragging a hand through his hair. “You really know how to make me go crazy.”

“I didn’t even say anything special.”

“You are special already, no matter what you say.” He smiled helplessly. “What you feel about me is exactly what I feel about you except multiply it by a million.”

He gently squeezed my cheeks.

So let me go with you, hmm?” he muttered.

“Don’t you want to see the looks on their faces when they find out who your boyfriend is?”

“I honestly couldn’t care less about what they think about you,” I muttered. “They’d probably try flirting with you instead.”

Just imagining it already irritated me.

“Is my Hope jealous?” he asked, tilting his head to the side with an amused smile.

“No.” I answered, glaring at him.
