<h4>Chapter 512: Chapter 512 Giving In</h4>


    And that realization stirred something deep in Levi’s chest, chasing away the faint insecurity he had been suppressing and recing it with a darker, more possessive satisfaction that coiled quietly beneath his restraint.


    In the end, Levi gave in.


    The restraint he had been clinging to snapped under the weight of her scent, her heat, and the way she looked at him like she needed him more than air itself.


    Without waiting for Addison to beg again, he leaned down and captured her lips in a deep, consuming kiss. His left hand braced beside her body to support his weight while his right hand slid to her clothes, fingers impatient as he hooked into the fabric and tugged her upper garment upward.


    The kiss only broke for a brief second, just long enough for him to pull the cloth over her head and toss it aside, his gaze darkening at the sight of her flushed skin and trembling bodyid bare beneath him.


    Then he went right back to her.


    Harder. Deeper.


    He crashed his lips onto hers again, far more passionately this time, as if the brief interruption had only intensified his hunger. His mouth moved against hers with raw urgency, swallowing her soft breaths and needy sounds while his hand roamed down her side, gripping her waist to keep her from writhing away.


    There was no more teasing slowness now.


    Only restrained hunger finally being unleashed.


    Every kiss he gave was heavier, hotter, and more possessive than before, as though he was done holding back and was finally allowing himself to indulge in the desire he had been suppressing all along.


    "Addie..." Levi’s voice dropped to a husky murmur against her lips, the sound vibrating softly as he spoke her name between breaths.


    His right hand slid lower, past her waist, fingers slow but purposeful as they reached the hem of her lower garment, thest fragile barrier keeping their heated bodies from truly meeting. After removing her upper clothes, the sight of her flushed skin and the faint outline of her soft curves beneath the thin inner fabric had already stirred something dangerously restless inside him.


    Now, that restraint was wearing thin.


    He drew in a slow breath, thick with her pheromones, his chest rising as he focused on tugging her lower garment down with deliberate care instead of the impatient urge wing at him to simply tear everything away. The fabric slipped down inch by inch, revealing more of her trembling body until only the thinyer of her panties remained.


    Just onest piece of cloth.


    But what truly unraveled him wasn’t the fabric itself.


    It was the obvious dampness staining it.


    And the intoxicating scent rising from her arousal.


    Levi’s movements paused for a split second as instinct took over. He inhaled deeply, eyes falling half-lidded as her scent flooded his senses, sweet and rich, like vaniced with a faint hint of cinnamon and warm milk. The fragrance hit him hard, primal and irresistible, sending a sharp twitch through his hardened cock and making the heat coiling in his lower abdomen tighten painfully.


    His jaw clenched.


    Control was slipping faster than he liked.


    "You really are going to be the death of me..." he muttered under his breath, biting lightly on his lower lip as he looked down at her.


    Beneath him, Addison was already writhing restlessly against the sheets, her body flushed and trembling, hips shifting unconsciously as if chasing friction, her breaths uneven and needy. The sight alone made his gaze darken further, hunger simmering beneath the surface as he struggled to keep even a shred of restraint instead ofpletely losing himself to the overwhelming desire she was stirring inside him.


    "Levi..." Addison moaned softly, her lips parting into a faint pout as she called his name, her voice trembling with need.


    She could feel it, his gaze.


    Heavy. Scorching. Unrestrained.


    The way he looked at her made her skin prickle, as if every inch of her body was being slowly devoured by his eyes alone. The dark desire swirling in them was no longer subtle; it was raw, intense, and barely contained, and that alone made her body grow even more restless.


    Being watched like that didn’t calm her.


    It only made her needier.


    Her thighs shifted unconsciously, her body writhing slightly beneath him as she chased the warmth he kept holding just out of reach. She wanted his hands on her, his weight on her, his touch everywhere instead of the torturous pauses he kept forcing between each heated advance.


    She wanted more.


    Now.


    But Levi’s gaze lingered on her like he was admiring a rare treasure, slow and deliberate, as if he was savoring every reaction instead of giving in to the urgency burning between them.


    And that made her impatient.


    Frustratingly so.


    Her fingers twitched against the sheets, her breath growing heavier as she stared back at him, desire and irritation mixing in her flushed expression. Part of her wanted to just grab him, pull him back down onto the bed, and reverse their positions again, to make him fall under her control so she could finally act on the desperate craving wing inside her chest.


    Because the way he kept reeling her in with those deep, passionate kisses only to pause, to watch, to tease, as if he enjoyed seeing her slowly lose herposure under his touch, was driving her absolutely mad with longing.


    "Shush... don’t be impatient..." Levi whispered against her lips, his voice low and coaxing, thick with restrained heat.


    Before she could protest, his mouth imed hers again, slow at first, but deeply passionate, as if he intended to swallow every soft sound she made. His lips moved deliberately, savoring her, before gradually drifting away from her mouth to the curve of her jaw, then lower, to the sensitive skin of her neck.


    Each kiss he pressed there was unhurried yet searing.


    It made Addison shiver.


    A faint, ticklish sensation bloomed wherever his lips touched, yet beneath it was a deeper satisfaction that sent sparks of electricity racing through her body, making her toes curl against the sheets. The way he kissed her felt both romantic and unbearably erotic at the same time, gentle, yet filled with a simmering hunger that made her head spin.


    "Hmmm..." A soft, helpless moan slipped past her lips before she could stop it.


    The sound alone sent a visible ripple of excitement through Levi.


    His breathing grew heavier as his kisses deepened in fervor, trailing down from her neck to the warm slope of her chest. At the same time, his free hand moved slowly, fingers hooking into the fabric of the undergarment that still covered her breasts. He removed it with deliberate care, as though he didn’t want to startle her, or himself.


    The moment the barrier was gone, his gaze darkened.


    His hand came up,rge and warm, cupping her soft breast with a gentleness that contrasted sharply with the hunger in his eyes. His touch was cautious at first, kneading lightly as if testing her reaction, afraid she might feel ufortable.


    But instead of resistance, her pheromones only intensified.


    Her body arched slightly into his hand.


    That was all the confirmation he needed.
