I Will Feel a Glow Just Thinking of You

(Frank Sinatra: The Way You Look Tonight)

Cath woke up to Levi squeezing her.
"Are you okay?" She asked through her teeth.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up," he said into her hair. "Bad dream."

She hugged him and pulled herself up so they were face to face. They kissed for a minute, too close to resist.
"What happened in your dream?"
"I was at the house in Columbus, and I kept trying to fix it. But every time I'd fix one thing, something broke even worse," he was speaking with his nervous drawl and gave a faint smile. "I think im just stressed."
"Do you want to talk to me about it?"
Levi pursed his lips, "no, I don't want to be sad right now."
"Okay," she rubbed circles into his palms with her thumbs. "Let's go for a walk, darling."
He reached behind her and pinched her butt, "say it again."
Cath blushed, "let's go for a walk?"
Pinch.

"Don't be silly," he tugged at her ear with his teeth.

"I don't know what you're talking about, darling," she giggled and Levi made a noise that sent a little shiver down her spine.
"You're perfect..." He was grinning into her neck.
"C'mon, Levi, let's go for a walk."
Cath took him by the hand and tiptoed away from their tent to the picnic table. He leaned on the edge of the table and pulled her between his knees so they were both facing the water. His fingers were lost in her hair, massaging her head. She felt her muscles liquify.
"Oh, god," she groaned despite herself.
"Does that feel good?" There was a smile in his voice.
"Very, very, very..." Cath rolled her neck and let out a sigh, "God, why are you just... so good?"
He laughed a low, warm laugh, "tell me about it."
"You know the right way to touch me everywhere and you're so charming. You make me want to just kiss every inch of you," she bit her lips to try to stop herself from talking. "You're magic."
"I love you."

She turned to face him, "I love you too."
His eyes were lost on the lake in front of him. It was a cool night and the moon was glistening on the water. All the stars in the sky were shining over them, no city lights to scare them away. It would have been really romantic if his eyes weren't glazed over. He was thinking too hard in all the quiet.
"Are you okay?"
He nodded, but didn't look away from the lake, "m'okay."
Cath kissed his chin to get his attention.

"Let's go swimming, darling," she said.

Levi raised a pornographic eyebrow and she had to resist the urge to grind up against him. Instead, she took a few steps away from him and began to strip. The bravery soon dissipated and was replaced by an awkward nervousness and realization that she just suggested that they go skinny dipping with her sister and their friends sleeping in the other room. (Or tents, rather.)

He didn't seem to mind that fact. His eyes were now locked on her half-naked body, waiting for her to make her next move. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest.
"What are you waiting for, handsome?" Cath tried to sound as cool as possible, but she knew her ears had to have been cherry red. She was glad it was dark out.
"I was just enjoying the show," he said. His teeth were all white in the moonlight. It made him look dangerous and beautiful.
She took a deep breath and smiled. With every bit of confidence she could muster up, Cath undid her bra and slid off her panties, then walked over to Levi to pull him in for a kiss, but just barely giving him a quick peck on the cheek.
Levi reached out to wrap his arms around her and she pushed off of him.
"Sorry, darling, you're going to have to catch me first," she said and ran towards the lake, peeking over her shoulder to see him fumbling to pull his flannel pants and boxers over his erection. Cath grinned at herself, proud that she could make Levi go from the coolest, most nonchalant person in the world to literally chasing her down with his pants around his ankles. It was oddly empowering.
She stopped in her tracks at the edge of the lake. It looked like liquid night, all black with glimmering white light. The water licked at her toes and a chill shot up through her body. It made her think of the Watford moat and the merwolves. Arms slid under her breasts and snapped her out of her head.

"Gotcha," Levi rested his chin on top of her head, and brushed a thumb over her nipple. "Are you cold?"
"I don't think I can go in there, the water is freezing," she said.
"Let me warm you up, sweetheart."
He led her towards a tree, and sat against it. Cath looked down at him warily, there were so many things that would go wrong if they did this. If her sister were to see them, she'd never let her live it down. What if Levi got a splinter? Wouldn't the bark hurt him?

"Come here, beautiful." Levi gave her a sweet, small smile and tugged at her hand.

She crawled between his knees, "are you sure?"

"Absolutely," he brushed her sides with his palms to warm her. "Are you alright?"
Cath wrapped her arms around him and kissed his neck. The cool summer air was shocking as he spread her legs to run his fingertips gently down her inner thigh. He slid his hand between her legs, his fingers teased her, sliding his two middle fingers inside of her quickly, but completely avoiding where she was the most sensitive. She wiggled her hips in frustration and he let out a low, breathy laugh. With a slowness that almost drove her crazy, he moved his thumb in gentle circles where she wanted him. His hands fit so well in and against her body, she had a hard time believing he wasn't custom made just for her.
"I want you, now," Cath whispered and tugged his hair gently. "But I don't want them to wake up."
"Then keep your voice down."
He sped up ever so slightly. She pressed herself against him, trying hard to be as discreet as possible as her muscles pulsated throughout her body and the chemicals flooded her head. Their mouths crashed together just a little too hard. Everything that he did to her, everything he did in general, was great and lovely.
Levi broke away, "can you stand up for a moment, sweetheart?"
"Alright."

She stood and took a few steps back, the sand cool and soft under her feet. He crossed his legs at the ankles and sighed happily. A breeze made his blonde hair flutter and sparkle in the moonlight as he looked up at her, beckoning for her to come closer.
"Sit." Cath began to sit beside him, and he laughed a little, "On my lap."

With his long arms, he reached up to guide her towards him. She used his shoulders for leverage as she lowered herself to straddle his hips. One hand running slowly up and down her back and the other positioning himself to enter her, Levi smiled coolly up at her.

"This okay?"
"Yes."
"Wrap your legs around me," Levi kissed her and pulled her closer by the hips. She giggled nervously as the entire length of him disappeared inside of her. They were completely intertwined, more closely than they had ever been before, but she couldn't say that she didn't like it. Cath ran her hands through his hair and licked a cut in his cheek from earlier when they were eating s'mores. She could feel his body reverberating as he laughed, "sweetheart, I can't do much in this position. Do you need help?"
Cath's body was on fire, "yes? I guess I didn't really know what to do, I was just waiting."
"That's alright, sweetheart. This is good."
He guided her hips, showing her how to rock back and forth in a way that felt right. She quickly picked up what to do and began to work on her own, grinding against him to let him know she didn't need any more help.

It was so intimate. They were able to kiss and hold one another so easily. His eyes sparkled like the stars every time she moaned. There was nothing to worry about anymore. Time was completely lost on them.
Levi pulled her head back by her hair and kissed her throat, while using the heel of his thumb to massage her clit. The air swirled around them, the grass tickling her thigh. It sent goosebumps across her entire body and she let out an airy sigh. He groaned and moved her hips harder against him.
"Do you need me to go faster?" She asked.
"Yes," he purred, "but no. I want this to last forever."
Cath kissed his chin and bounced a little, "me too."
When he came, she felt a warm pulsation inside of her that she had never felt before. Being on top of Levi, making him finish first, having his fingers dig into her hips to pull her closer, the warmth spreading inside of her; it sent her over the edge.
"Oh, god. Oh, Levi," Cath cried out, praying she wasn't being too loud.

Neither of them moved when she came. Levi was beaming.
"I love it when you say my name," he stated.
"I love you constantly."
"I love you too, sweetheart," his ears wiggled. "Are you warm now?"
"Very," she rubbed her nose against his and then her cheek to his. "I love it when you have a little stubble."
"I love it when you touch my face."
She kissed his earlobe and whispered, "I love that you're still inside me."
Levi's ears got hot, the heat was radiating onto her lips.
"I love it when you talk dirty," he said coolly.
"I love it when you talk dirty," she repeated.
"I love it when you touch my hair."
"I love it when you touch me."
"I love to touch you."
"I love to..." Cath paused, then pressed their foreheads together, "I love everything about you, and I really don't want to leave this."
"Yeah," he agreed, wrapping her in a hug. "I love this."

"Let's stay out here forever in the woods."
Levi blushed again.
"I wish we could," he said, and he meant it.
