31. Levi

Stepping out onto the balcony, he let the cool breeze of the night gently roll over his exposed body. It was still warm out even though the night air had cooled, breaking the heat from the day.

Levi loved this view. At this time of night, you could see hundreds of stars shining brightly in the sky above. It was so peaceful. Much quieter than the bustle of downtown Paris. Matteo was lucky to have such a gorgeous home located out in the countryside.

Staring out over the balcony, Levi knew that he was lucky. Not many people would open their hearts and their homes to a struggling homeless street kid, scared and starving. Matteo had been that man, that beacon of hope who rescued him from the streets and gave him that chance at a better life. A life with a new family and a new home, one in which he was able to let his guard down and open his heart to all sorts of possibilities.

He closed his eyes and thought about how grateful he was for all that he had, like his brothers. He still couldn't believe that messy and scatterbrained Isaac, along with control freak Jared, had risked their lives to come and rescue him. That was true love and loyalty. He couldn't ask for better siblings.

Movement caught the corner of his eye. Levi slowly turned his gaze to the six-foot-three, hunky slab of real Canadian beef currently sprawled out on a lounge chair.

Talk about being lucky. Here was yet another example of the possibilities made attainable by Matteo and his love.

Chase.

His hero.

The man who led the charge to rescue his scrawny ass. The man who refused to give up until Levi was safely in his arms.

How was it that such an incredible and loving man had come to fall in love with him?

Talk about being grateful.

"Incredible view, isn't it?" Levi said, walking across his balcony and over to where Chase sat in nothing but his black boxer briefs.

"Yeah, it is. It's even more incredible when it has you standing in front of it," Chase said with a mischievous smile.

Levi felt his cheeks flush. He still got giddy whenever Chase complimented him.

"Did you enjoy your shower?" Chase asked, spreading his legs so that Levi could take a seat between them and rest his head on his bare chest.

Chase wrapped his arms across Levi and held him close. This was now Levi's favorite place to be—wrapped in Chase's loving arms.

"The shower was amazing. Felt good to finally wash all that blood and dirt off me. I feel like a new man."

After Chase's heroic rescue of Levi and the others, police and medics held them for hours, asking them questions and checking them over. Levi and Chase finally got the green light to go home around two in the morning.

Lacing his fingers with Chase's, he pulled their hands close and gently kissed the back of Chase's.

"I never want to lose you," Chase whispered behind Levi. "When I couldn't find you, there was such an ache in my chest. The thought of losing you almost destroyed me. I never want us to be apart again."

Chase tightened his strong arms around Levi's body. He felt so warm, so safe, so loved. There was nowhere else that he would rather be… ever. He needed this man. He needed Chase to know just how much he loved and needed him as well.

Rolling around in Chase's arms, he lay flat against his chiseled chest and stared into Chase's bright blue eyes. With his fingers, he gently moved a few stray strands of hair across his forehead.

"Your eyes," Chase whispered, seeing the actual color of Levi's eyes for the very first time.

While in the shower, Levi realized that there was one last thing that he wanted to share with Chase. His eyes. Many poets believed that the eyes were the windows to the soul, but Levi believed that they were the windows to the heart. It was because of this belief that he kept his eyes shielded from all those around him.

"They're gorgeous," Chase finished, eyes locked with his.

"I know many people think that the eyes are the windows to the soul, but in my opinion, I believe that they are the windows to our hearts." Levi swallowed hard. He hoped that the next part would come out clear and not make him sound like a bumbling idiot. "In my line of work, I share my body with everybody. It's just sex; there is no romance or connection. It's an activity that releases a momentary burst of pleasure that dissipates just as fast as it was created. I decided long ago that I would only share the true color of my eyes with the man who I loved. It was something special and sacred, saved only for him. So, here I am, sharing my baby blue eyes with you."

A smile grew across Chase's face. "I love you, too."

Their lips touched gently in one of the most heartfelt kisses Levi had ever experienced. He needed to share his feelings, all of them, with Chase.

"While I was sitting alone in that cell, the only thing that kept me going was the need to see your face again. I needed to look into those gentle eyes of yours and tell you that you mean the world to me. You make me feel so loved, so needed. You inspire me to be a better person. When I'm with you, I feel complete. Like I have both halves of my soul once again."

Chase gently caressed the side of Levi's cheek. "Why do the French say such wonderful words?"

Levi gave him a smirk. "Because we speak the language of love, amour."

They both chuckled and leaned in for a kiss.

The world was perfect once again. Levi was blissfully happy being back in Chase's arms.

Pulling his lips away from Levi's, Chase casually reached underneath his chair.

"After we spoke in the car about your favorite childhood memory, I spent the afternoon scouring the city for this," Chase said, passing Levi a black box wrapped with a single red ribbon.

The ribbon was tied in an elegant bow that rested on top of the box.

"What is this?" Levi asked, sitting up and straddling Chase's lap, his second favorite place to sit.

Staring at him with those gorgeous blue eyes, Chase gave him a simple shrug of his shoulders. How was it that such a strapping hunk of a man could look so sweet and vulnerable?

Slowly, Levi pulled on the ribbon and watched as it slipped down the box and came to rest on Chase's exposed six-pack.

Lifting the lid, he pulled back the layers of turquoise tissue paper until his heart stopped in his chest. He reached into the box and pulled out the ratty old item that had meant so much to him.

Eyes beginning to water, he held up an illustrated copy of Beauty and the Beast.

"Chase, what have you…" Levi whispered, his voice catching in his throat.

Chase ran his hands along the sides of Levi's ass and gripped the top of his thighs.

"Well, I know it's not the original copy that your mother gave you, but I was able to find a third-edition illustrated copy of the book and hoped that it might bring back some more of those happy memories that you had of your mom."

"Chase, this is amazing," Levi choked, covering his mouth with his hand and trying his hardest not to become a weeping mess of a man.

"Open the cover," Chase whispered.

With a shaky hand, Levi pulled open the cover. Scribbled in Chase's manly handwriting, Levi read the inscription.

From this Beast to his Belle. You will always hold the keys to my heart.

Love Always.

Unable to contain his emotions any longer, Levi lunged at Chase and smashed his lips hard against his.

Laughing, Chase wrapped his arms around Levi's quivering body and allowed his face to be mauled. Really, Chase had no choice. Levi was in romantic, loving overload and needed to express every emotion and desire bursting from his body.

"God, you're fucking amazing! I love this sweet gift, and I love you," Levi rushed, quickly resuming his attack on Chase's delicious lips.

"My pleasure," Chase moaned in between Levi's breaths.

Yes, it would be,Levi thought to himself, gently placing the book on the floor beside them.

Now, it was time to get raunchy.

With a wicked grin, Levi slid his tongue over Chase's smooth chest, making sure to spend extra time licking and sucking on the man's nipples. Apparently, Chase's nipples were one of his weaknesses.

"God, that's amazing," Chase groaned as his eyes slid shut, and he gave himself over to Levi and his wicked tongue.

Levi moved lower, pressing his chest against Chase's massively solid cock. If there was one thing he loved about Chase, it was how hard his dick got when it came in contact with him. There was no better way to compliment a man than by popping a boner the second he touched you.

Once he reached the straining boxer briefs, Levi reached inside the overlapping material and pulled out Chase's heavy thick cock. Fucking delicious!

Levi licked the sides of Chase's meat, loving the way his manhood tasted. It tasted like strength, muscle, and desire, and all of it was for him. He fucking loved it.

He held Chase's gorgeous thick dick firm in his hand and admired the size of the thing. How could one man be blessed with such a gorgeously perfect big dick? It honestly wasn't fair to the other men of the world. When it came to alpha males, Chase's dick was king.

Without warning, Levi swallowed Chase's dick whole and took it all the way down to the base.

"Fuck," Chase moaned, surprised by the sudden assault on his junk. "That mouth of yours is amazing. I swear, you've got no friggin gag reflex," Chase groaned, gripping a handful of Levi's hair and giving it a little tug.

Moaning, Levi began swallowing Chase's dick like his life depended on it. He forced more and more of it down his throat, refusing to let up as he felt Chase's balls tighten and his breathing become shallow. This dick belonged to him, and there was no way it was ever leaving his mouth.

When he tasted that first drop of precum on his tongue, Levi popped off quickly.

"What the fuck?" Chase gasped, caught off guard by the sudden lack of suction on his cock.

"Nope. You're not wasting that delicious cum on a blowjob," Levi smirked.

The sexually frustrated look on Chase's face almost made Levi burst out laughing.

He reached into the little black bag that he had brought out with him when he came out onto the balcony. He pulled out a condom and packet of lube.

Chase smiled.

"Tonight, I'm going to ride that dick all night long. Then tomorrow, you're going to pound me into those sheets until I can't walk straight," Levi instructed.

"It'd be my pleasure," Chase said with a cocky grin on his face.

Judging by the heat in his eyes and the way Chase licked his lower lip, Levi realized that his ass was in for one hell of a pounding.

"Oh, trust me, it will be my pleasure as well."

He rolled the condom down the length of Chase's shaft, making sure that it fit nice and snug all the way down at the base. This cock was going to be majorly abused tonight, and he didn't want to waste time having to re-wrap this thick piece of meat.

"Want me to prep you?" Chase asked, reaching for the packet of lube.

"What do you think took me so long in the shower?" Honestly, tops have no idea what it takes to be an expert bottom. He took the lube from Chase and poured a generous amount over his new favorite toy.

Gazing into Chase's hungry, heated eyes, Levi breathed deeply as he slowly lowered himself onto Chase's hard cock. Feeling his hole stretch open as the beast below him slowly entered his body was a feeling like no other. He had never felt so full, so spread open. Knowing that the thick piece of meat currently stretching him out belonged to him now made his heart skip a beat.

"God, I love that dick of yours," Levi moaned as he placed his hands on Chase's chest and began rolling his hips.

Staring into the sweet blue orbs that gazed upon him, he never felt sexier, more wanted, more loved. He could feel the connection between them growing. He belonged to Chase, and Chase belonged to him.

Levi welcomed the sting of pain as his ass was stretched to its limits.

Large possessive hands gripped Levi's ass and gave his cheeks a firm squeeze.

"This ass belongs to me now," Chase announced, laying claim to Levi's body.

Levi's dick twitched hearing those possessive words claiming him. Fuck, he always wanted to belong to a big strong man. Having a protector. Someone who desired him and only him. Someone who felt as insanely jealous of him as he did of them. That all-consuming, possessive love.

"I'm all yours," Levi moaned, beginning his assault on Chase's cock. His cock. Chase belonged to him now.

Over the next few hours, they took turns taking control. Levi rode Chase's dick long and hard on the balcony until Chase carried him into the bedroom, where he threw him on the bed and rammed him for another hour. They did doggy, missionary, reverse cowboy—anything they could think of, they did. They were like two hounds in heat, unable to get enough of each other.

After the first two orgasms, they took a quick nap before continuing their fuckfest well into the morning hours.

It wasn't until noon when Levi finally admitted defeat.

"My ass can't take anymore. I think you may have destroyed me."

Chuckling, Chase pulled Levi in for a long, deep kiss.

"To be honest, I was about to tap out. My dick is becoming raw and chaffed. I think you drained all the cum from my balls."

A knock at the door had them both jumping.

"If you two are done boning, Matteo wants you guys to join us for lunch on the patio," Isaac's voice called from behind the door.

"Okay, we'll be there in ten," Levi responded, still out of breath.

"Let me know if you want me to bring you some aloe, Lee. May help with the burning butthole," Isaac added before laughing and walking away.

"I really hate that guy," Levi huffed.

"No, you don't. Plus, don't forget, that boy took a crowbar to the gut for you," Chase reminded him.

Yeah, both Isaac and Jared had been injured in the attempt to rescue him. All the captives managed to escape with minor injuries except for one man. The first person to see Peabody coming down the stairs. His scream alerted the others to Peabody's presence, but unfortunately, it cost him a bullet to the head.
