His mouth returns to my ear as he whispers, “I love you, Sophia. Only ever you.”
My muscles tighten around him as my orgasm explodes. With a curse, I feel as he joins me in his climax. My body is greedy for him as it pulls him in tight, taking everything he has to offer. As we crash together, I can’t think of anywhere more perfect than here with my Teddy. He rolls off of me and I instantly miss his weight covering me.
“What do we do now?” I ask, turning to face him.
“We figure it out,” he says then begins to grin. “That sounded ridiculous. But you know what I mean.” He reaches down, pulling the covers over us. “Oh, I have a brilliant idea.”
The mischievous look on his face gives me pause.
“Okay?” I can’t help my grin spreading to match his as he looks at me with mischief in his eyes.
“I suggest we spend the night fucking like rabbits. We can figure the rest of this shit out tomorrow.”
I can’t stop the laugh that bubbles out of me.
“There’s the mouth I love.”
“Oh, you’re about to get this mouth in full force,” he promises as he pulls me on top of him.

Imoan as I wake up to ringing. The glow of the clock on the nightstand announces we’ve only had a couple hours of sleep. Looking the other direction, I take a moment to feast my eyes on miles of muscle sprawled across the bed. Teddy. I smile, debating if I wake him for another round.
My phone starts ringing again and I realize that’s what woke me up. I left it in the bathroom last night, so I quietly creep across the room to answer it. It’s my office in New York.
“Hello?”
“Sophia? Are you done with filming in London yet?” I hear my boss bark over the phone.
“Yes, sir. We wrapped up the filming yesterday. The rest can be done at the studio.”
I listen intently as he gives me my next assignment. My stomach does a flip and my heart is racing. He is sending me to Syria to work on a follow-up piece about the devastation left in the war against ISIS. I’ve been transferred to the foreign office desk. He informs me that I’ll be given my home base office at a later date. I’m to meet my new team later today for a briefing.
“Yes sir, I’ll be ready to fly out tonight. Thank you.”
I disconnect, staring at my phone in disbelief. I can’t believe I’m actually getting my shot. I spin around to find Teddy leaning against the doorjamb of the bathroom. He is watching me with the same look of concentration I’ve seen on Grayson’s face a million times. Pain lances through my heart when I recognize this new opportunity means I’ll be leaving him.
“Teddy, I don’t know what to say.”
His face changes to one of confusion before a smile breaks out across it.
“Well, I do.” He grabs me up, hugging me tight then swings me around in the bedroom only setting me down when my laughter turns to hiccups. He cups my face in his hands. “Soph, this is amazing! This is everything you’ve been waiting for, you’ve made it, baby. What do we need to do? You probably need to pick up some clothes, shit like that.”
I tackle him onto the bed. It’s not easy considering he probably has almost a foot and a hundred pounds on me easily.
“I love you, Theodore Bennett.”
“Really?” he says, rolling his eyes. “Do you really have to pull out the full name? That’s what Grayson yells when I’m in trouble. I think Teddy will be fine.”
“I think Teddy is really fine.” I laugh at my own joke, at least until Teddy’s eyes darken to the color of a building storm. Climbing off him, I slide toward the bathroom. “I have to get ready to go. Really need to get in the shower.”
He eyes me wickedly before snatching me up and throwing me over his shoulder.
“Oh good, we can kill two birds with one stone.”
I reach down, slapping his ass with vigor.
“Darling, you know you doing that just makes me harder.”
