Chapter 17

I ran my fingers over Levi's face, he was still sleeping. Leo hadn't realized it, but he woke me up when he got up. He had given me a kiss, and let his fingers rest on my cheek. I ran my finger over Levi's lips, giggling as the twitched up. The feeling to laugh was rare, but it was the first time I recall giggling. Levi's lip twitched again, I found my self entranced by running my hand on his face. I had been son intent on running my hand along the line of his lips, I didn't realize bright green eyes watching me.

"You know, its not polite to mess with people, when they are trying to get beauty sleep." His voice was thick with sleep, I looked up to him in shock, and blushed, withdrawing my hand.

"I didn't know you were awake." I said, he caught my hand and brought it back to his lips.

"I didn't say, I didn't like it." He said smiling at me. I looked at his lips longingly, I wanted to continue touching them, but felt to weird, knowing he would be looking at me.

"Look, I'll close my eyes, and go back to sleep." He dramatically closed his eyes, and started a loud obnoxious snore. I clamped my hand on his mouth giggling again. His eyes whipped open, and he looked at me with amusement.

"That, is a beautiful sound." I looked to him in confusion.

"Giggling. It suits you." He explained, his hand brushing my cheek.

"Oh, I never really do it. Never had the urge to." I said blushing.

"Blushing, giggling, sneaking touches and kisses, is there anything you do, that isn't absolutely adorable." He said rolling over, so he was propped on one elbow, and I was tucked under him.

"Well, I am sure there are plenty of things." I said, not sure how to answer him.

"Well, I doubt that." His lips swept down toward me, in a gentle caress.

"Well, you kiss adorably." He said trailing his mouth to my neck, but instead of kissing, he just inhaled deeply. "You smell adorable." His teeth brushed my neck, i shivered and repressed a moan. "You shiver adorably." His lips brushed my earlobe and I moaned. "Well, you don't moan adorably. That was absolutely sexy." He said grinning, when he came back to make eye contact. "Go ahead." He said, I looked at him confused.

"Tell me how adorable I am, I don't mind." I rolled my eyes at him.

"I think if I told you how adorable you are, it might go to your head." I said quietly, he laughed, a rich deep sound.

"That sounds just like something Leo would say. Now, speaking of my brute of a brother, where is he?" He asked. I shrugged.

"He got out of bed awhile ago, I assume to get work done." I said, Levi's eyes twinkled with a secret and excitement, that left me thoroughly confused.

"Well, as beautiful and wonderful this is, I have to take a shower, and meet my mom." He stood up stretching. "Unless you want to join me?" He teased, part of me wanted to. But the other part was terrified.

"I think I will go find William, he says that I need to find myself an answer to something, and I need to tell him what I think." I answered truthfully.

"Well, that little boy has a temper, but he knows what he is doing, somehow." Levi smiled, gave me a swift kiss, and entered the shower. I got out of bed, and got dressed. I will take my shower tonight. I made my way to Leo's office, and knocked on the door. I would tell him that Aaron is to take me for a run. I wouldn't take no for an answer.

"Come in." His deep voice came from the other side, I walked in and saw the girl whom told me, I had no chance with the alphas. She smiled brightly at me.

"Hello, Luna. Guess I was wrong huh? You did have a chance." she said grinning. She turned to Leo. "Thank you again." She smiled politely one more time, before leaving.

"Hey, you." He said looking to me. I walked toward him, and climbed on his lap. Looking at his paperwork.

"I just wanted to know, if Aaron agree's can he take me for a run?" I asked. Leo grinned.

"Persistent, I don't see why not. Ivory needs out. But, did Levi tell you, well ask you?" He seemed flustered.

"Ask me what?" I asked.

"Uh, well, I am not sure if Levi and me are supposed to tell you at the same time. But will you go on a date with us?" He asked. I wrinkled my noes, a date?

"What's that?" I asked. Leo looked confused.

"Um, I don't know how to describe a date. I would say, its when two, well three people now, go out. Basically its..." I placed a kiss on his lips, and grinned at him.

"I'm just teasing, I know what a date is, and I would love to." He gave me an annoyed look, but he seemed more amused than anything.

"You are incourgable. But I have something for you. It will be brought to our room later." He said, I smiled and leaned back into him.

"Thanks." I said, not sure what it was. He rested his head on my shoulder, his breaths deep. He read the paperwork in front of him.

'Lets go.' Ivory said, I knew she really needed out, if she was choosing to run over sitting her.

"I will let you work, Ivory wants to run." I gave him a gentle kiss, and stood up.

"I will see you tonight at seven. I have a date to get ready." Leo said, still reading. I smiled, and left.

"AARON!" I yelled, knowing as long as he was in the house, he would hear me. I was right not much longer later, he showed up.

"Yea?" He asked breathless.

"Wanna go run?" He rolled his eyes.

"Your luck you died, or I would say no." He joked.

"Yea, So lucky." I teased. He just smiled.

"I am glad your okay." He said, I nodded, and we made our way out for a run. It felt nice to shift, and enjoy the air. Thankfully this time, I had no rouges to fight, I just sat back and enjoyed it, Ivory running wild, chasing and nipping at Aaron.

***Three Hours Later**

The dress was beautiful. It was blue, the corset of it was as dark blue as my eyes. The sleeves and skirt was light blue, like the glow of my magic. The dress fell to my shins, the sleeves covered my arms, yet it was cool, and let the breeze drift through the material. I had simply let my hair down and its layers looked fine. Levi had handed me the box, that Leo's dress was in. Leo and Levi were going to meet me where ever our date was. Aaron drove me to a restaurant, and told me to say I was Ivy Spade.

"Table for Ivy Spade." I told the beautiful brunette. She didn't appear to be very nice, but she led me to an empty table.

"Your lucky, no one like you should get two." With that the beautiful girl she walked away. Levi showed up with a cake. I smiled at the cake, it was the same type of cake in the memory that Levi had seen. It looked good, I smiled up at him.

"It's not my birthday." I teased. He smirked.

"We will celebrate, coming back to life. Not coming to life." Leo's deep voice, drew my eyes to him. He was wearing dress pants and a dark blue dress shirt, Levi wearing a dark green one. I realized the color of their shirts mixed together, would match a darker version of my dress.

"You look beautiful." He said, his eyes trailing along the dress. I flushed at the darkening of this deep blue eyes. They both sat down around the table. I remembered to what William had told me while I got ready. "Don't let them scare you, stay natural. I know you were kept from the person you were meant to be, but if you don't hold back, with them, you can be whom you could of been." I knew the words wernt his, I sent a thanks and a promise to the Spirits. I wouldn't hold back.

"You two look wonderful. I couldn't of asked for a better night. The dress is lovely." I said the last part to Leo, knowing he was the one who put it together. He smiled at me, and grabbed my hand.

"I don't think your scars are ugly, they are one of the many lovable things about you. But I knew the dress would make you more comfortably, and the color was as beautiful as your eyes and your magic." He gave me a soft smile, and we ordered the food.

"Well, for as charming as I can, I will lift you off your feet." Levi said, he was leading me in a dance along the floor, smiling and teasing me. I laughed freely, as he twirled me in cricels, but when he twirled me the last time, I ended up in my other mates arms.

"Your turn brother." Levi said, before bowing and walking away. Leo looked down at me with serious eyes. The food had just been finished, but I looked up to him and my stomach felt butterflies.

"Hello, Leo." I said smiling as the slow song began, and slow, measured steps lead us across the room.

"Hello, Ivory." He said grinning.

"You know, I never knew what your wolf's name is." I said, he smiled at me, and placed a kiss on my head.

"Lee" was all he responded with. It made since, and Ivy jumped and howled at the name.

"You look as stunning as I thought you would." I smiled at him, and reach up to kiss him, and we danced in silence, until the song ended and we sat back down with Levi, who was drawing on his napkin with ketchup. I giggled at the childish act, but he slid the napkin in my direction. I laughed. 'Leo is so dreamy' was all it said. He looked at me and sighed dreamily.

"It must be the eyes." Levi gushed, Leo threw a biscuit at him, I sat down laughing. The rest of the night consisted of something called 20 questions, that I enjoyed finally learning more about my mates. we eventually made our way home, and Leo insisted h had work to do, with a simple kiss, he made his way to his office.

"Its okay. I know he is more business than romance." I insisted to Levi. " The spirits know what they are doing."  i said. Levi eventually gave up.

"Well, I am the romantic one. So popcorn and a long marathon of Titanic is in order." He said smiling, I agreed. However, I really had no idea what Titanic is, but into the movie, I realized Levi did.

"Well, yes, ma'am, I do... I mean, I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people...." He continued the scene, saying every word with him. It was distracting, but I couldn't help but think he would of been the Jack character.

When the end came, I had tears in my eyes. What kind of ending is this? I mean really? Who ends a movie with the boat sinking?

"Winning that ticket, Rose, was the best thing that ever happened to me... it brought me to you. And I'm thankful for that, Rose. I'm thankful. You must do me this honor. Promise me you'll survive. That you won't give up, no matter what happens, no matter how hopeless. Promise me now, Rose, and never let go of that promise." Levi went on, Rose said she would never let go, but then He goes all off, and dies.

"NO!" I stood up and screamed. Tears running on my face. "Your a disgrace to red-heads everywhere. Why the hell would you let him go!" I yelled, Levi looked at me in shock.

"Did you just cuss?" He asked, I sat down crossing my arms.

"If that was you, I would of jumped off, before I let you go." I said, instead of answering. It was silent for awhile, I looked over to Levi who was staring at me with a grin. I looked at him oddly. Why was he smiling?

"Why are you smiling? He died. He turned into a frozen little Popsicle." I said pointing to the screen. He just grinned more.

"You wouldn't let me go?" He asks, smiling.

"Of course I wouldn't. Why would I let you go?" I asked, confused.

"Its just nice to hear. But no way I would ever let you jump off, I would keep you close and share my body heat with you." He said, his eyes dark. I smiled at him.

"Well, I could use my magic, make us a little warm water bubble." I said grinning, but still had wet tears on my face. The movie was sad.

"Well how would that work?" His eyes darkened, and it felt like the conversation was taking a turn. I smiled and my body moved toward his, I sat on his lap.

"I would have to get as close to you as I can." I placed my hand on his arms. "I would seek out all the warmth from the air and water, and draw it to us." I called on the warm air, and felt it channel through my body. He gasped when the heat touched his body. Sparks shooting through my fingertips where our skin touched.

"And I would hold you, until help finally came. Never letting go, until I had to." His arm snuck around my waist and pulled me close to him. His eyes dark green like an evergreen tree, his face drawn in serious lines. He looked at me in a look of awe.

"You are a siren. I don't think I could let you go, even if I had to." He said, his face close to mine.

"Then don't." I whispered, my face close to his. His lips crashed to mine, and sparks flew every touch of his lips, I moaned into his mouth. His kiss was so demanding, it was as if he was taking the my soul from my mouth, my fingers tugged in his hair, and it seemed as if I couldn't open my eyes. When he pulled back, my eyes finally sprung open, his breath ragged as he spread feather light kisses on my neck, they were so gentle that is was more like a breeze caressing my skin, than a kiss. I threw my head back, and moaned. My lower half rubbed against his, in an accidentally but tantalizing touch. His eyes lit bright green, and in a flash he was lowering me on the couch, under his body. His lower body rested heavily and deliciously on mine, and his lips retraced my neck. This time with more urgency, his teeth grazing my neck, his toung warm and wet against the pulse in my neck. He move in sync to my increasing, and thudding heart beat.

It felt as if my most intimate places had found a heart beat of its own, pulsing in a rhythm, as Levi pressed farther against me. His lips met mine against, his toung sweeping in. His muscles rippled with the restraint he was holding on himself. Ivy pushed forward, and when Levi looked down at me, I knew the yellow of my wolf was showing, he growled, and slowly his eyes took on an unnatural green, and I knew his wolf had come forward. I growled a low moan, and arched my back, resulting in my breast rubbing against his chest. He growled yet again, his lips back on my mouth, and his hands cupping my breast through my shirt.

"Ivory." He moaned, ti was almost like a plea of mercy. "Ivory, tell me to stop." He pleaded, but contradicting his words, his hips rubbed against me.

"Levi." I moaned. He pulled himself up, so he was resting on his arms and knees, his body not touching mine, except his forehead resting on mine.. His breath fanned across my face.

"If I don't stop right now, I wont be able to." He gasped when I pressed a kiss to his jaw. A part of me, the rational side, tried to pull back, but the lust crazed side of me pushed harder. I wrapped my legs around his waist and thrusted my hands in his hair. Levi didn't move, Ivy rose up, accepting it as a challenge. My hips rocked against his, and his body shook, my hands trailing under his shirt, his hips met mine on the thrust, and my nails raked down his back as I moaned.

"Oh god." Levi groaned. "Ivory, please." I couldn't tell if he was asking for more, or asking for me to stop. I don't know what would of happened next, or how far it would of went if Leo hadn't walked in grabbed Levi, and pushed him out.

"Go let your wolf out. Or jump into a bucket of ice cold water." Leo instructed him. Levi sent me a pained look, as if he just couldn't force himself to do it. I am sure my face showed my own need.

"Leo. Help her." I wasn''t sure what Levi meant, but he ran out of the room, his clothes tearing as he shifted, as soon as he got out of the TV room.

"Is he okay." I breathed. My breath coming out in pants, as my body shook with the force of some unknown feeling. I felt like a million emotions were in me, just wanting to get out. Leo looked at me with a smirk of pure sensuality.

"He will be fine. We have lots of practice with hormones." He came closer to me, stalking. I felt like a lamb left out for a lion. "You have a scent driving me wild. But what we need to do is take care of you. I promise, I wont do anything to hurt you. That feeling inside you, feeling like something is trying to pull out of your skin. Will lead to a Heat, that we should avoid at all costs. I am going to make the fire go away."
 
It was hard for me to focus on his words, but the rung in my ears. When he lowered himself to the couch, and began to lift my body to his, it made the fire burn bright. His eyes were dark as he pulled his shirt over his head.

"I'm going to make it all better."
