“That explains why you kept everyone at arm’s length when you moved to us.”
“That and the bastard board breathing down my neck.”
I smiled, stroking my thumb across his stomach.
“Stop.” He caught my hand, lightly squeezing my fingers. “Unless you want me to flip you over and fulfil your wish of fucking you again,” he said, nuzzling his nose into the side of my neck.
“Stopppp.” I pushed his face away with a laugh. “I’m too tired for that. Please behave yourself.”
Theo grunted, releasing my hand to hug me again. “Only because I know you’re telling the truth. You haven’t stopped all day.”
“Whose fault is that?”
“You must have a terribly needy and overbearing boss.”
“He’s the worst. He even makes me knot his tie on a morning, and I have to deal with women who fancy him all the time.”
He pushed me down and leant over me, kissing my neck. “I’m pretty sure he has to deal with men who fancy his assistant, too.”
“Unlikely.”
“Mm, you say that, but I’m absolutely sure Lennon has a crush on you.”
I rested my hands against his cheeks and pulled his face up until our eyes met. “Don’t say such ridiculous things.”
Theo raised his eyebrows. “You’re completely blind to the obvious things right in front of you, aren’t you?”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Doesn’t matter.” He dropped his lips to mine. “He can’t have you, anyway.”
“Nobody can. I’m not an object that can be possessed by anyone,” I retorted, kissing him back.
“And if you were, not many people could afford you.” He pressed one firm kiss against my lips again before resting his forehead against mine, closing his eyes. “Stay with me tonight, Chlo.”
“Stay with you?” I gently scratched my nails across the back of his head. “Where exactly do you think I’m going to go? My bedroom is only twenty feet down the hall.”
“No, stay here.” He flopped onto his side and wrapped me in his arms, pulling me against his body. “Right here.”
“You’re needy. Like a puppy.”
“Mm. So pat my head and tell me I’m a good boy.”
What the—
I laughed, reaching up with my free arm. I patted his head softly and said, “Good boy.”
He smiled, touching his lips to my forehead. “Thank you. Does that mean you’ll stay?”
“Mm, but only because I’m warm.” I cosied into him and turned off the part of my brain that was screaming that this was a Very Bad Idea. “We don’t have anywhere to be until tomorrow afternoon, right?”
“That’s usually my line.” He smiled against my hair. “But no. You can take it easy before lunch, so make sure you sleep in.”
“Yes, sir.”
“And don’t call me ‘sir’ when you’re lying naked in bed with me unless you want me to never get any work done ever again.”
“Yes, sir.”
