Hannah was gazing around, holding her hands on her hips as he unlocked the door. He held it open and let her move past him inside. Her hair brushed past his mouth, and he couldn’t control the gasp that emerged.
“You okay?” Hannah asked.
She was grinning slightly, and Levi had to lower his hands to cover up the bulge that was growing in his pants.
“All good,” he said, feeling himself blush.

HANNAH
Hannah was doing her best to keep herself together while driving with Levi. Her mind had been fogged, her body on edge, after detecting his floral, magnetic scent through the air vents as she crawled through them.
A part of her was enraged that Nick would do that to her because it was distracting to have her mate as her client. But she was also enthralled, imagining what it would be like to embrace him in her full, animalistic form.
She remained stoic as she walked through his front door, letting her breasts and hair brush up against his face. She noticed his cock harden beneath his pants and repressed a giggle so deep that she thought it might turn into hiccups.
“Um,” Levi said, adjusting his pants. “I can show you around if you’d like. I’ve got multiple guest bedrooms and a security room where all of the monitors are set up.”
Hannah merely nodded and stuck her hands into her pockets. She didn’t know what to do with them when she wasn’t driving or actively fighting.
She followed him as they climbed a long, twirling set of stairs that reminded her of the gothic homes her mother used to adore. The thought of her mother made her eye twitch, so she forced her mind to focus ... focus, dammit ... on the cute way Levi was trying to avoid eye contact with her.
“You can stay in this room,” Levi said, opening a door.
Hannah glanced inside briefly, seeing that it wasrooms, plural, rather than just one. It had an extended area with a couch and a fireplace and a terrace that looked out into what was probably a sprawling backyard. The actual bedroom stood off to the left, secluded, and connected to a bathroom with a jacuzzi tub.
“Wow,” Hannah said, nodding her head. “I feel like I’m checked into the Waldorf-Astoria.”
Levi smiled bashfully, playing with the keys in his hands. “It’s right next to my room, so you can keep an eye on things,” he said.
A plethora of naughty thoughts entered Hannah’s mind, and she felt like a woman possessed as her underwear started to dampen. Her breath became shorter as she thought about riding Levi, unleashing her feral passion all over him until he burst with divine pleasure.
She had to squeeze her eyes shut to keep the images at bay. Levi was pointing down the hallway, waiting for her to return to reality.
“Yes,” she said. “It’s a good idea to keep you nearby.”
Levi frowned, and Hannah realized she had missed something as she soared through her various fantasies.
“Security is down here,” Levi said, pointing.
He led her into the room with an entire wall covered in monitors and a control center suitable for an Apollo mission. Hannah wouldn’t call herself a tech geek, but she knew relatively enough about modern security systems to know what she was looking at was rather basic.
“There are cameras in every room, except the bathrooms, of course,” Levi said.
“Of course.”
Hannah squinted and leaned forward to gaze into the monitors. They were all recording and were probably sent up into the cloud for safe storage. That would come in handy if anything were to go down inside his home or if she wanted to monitor the entire area from one room.
She stood straight to find Levi still fiddling with his keys, standing at a fair distance from her.
It was endearing.
She cocked an eyebrow at him before speaking promptly.
“If you have so much security in your home,” Hannah began, “why don’t you have any on your person? Like when you were out at the bar?”
Levi looked tired as he looked up at her, a dumbstruck look on his face causing her eye to start twitching again.
