“That’s presumptuous.”
“Still true.” He reached for the hem of my sweater and lifted it off over my head, groaning when his gaze dropped to my chest. “Fuck, you’re gorgeous.”
Both the sweater and my bra were plain cotton, a little washed out, and definitely nothing like any garment his sisters-in-law owned, but he still looked at me like he was enraptured by the sight. Slowly sliding a hand around my back, he unhooked the bra and pulled it off slowly. Then he lowered his head and pressed kisses around my breasts too.
Cool air washed over my exposed skin, but I felt my chest and face flushing with the heat rising from deep inside. My nipples formed sensitive points and Theo sucked each of them into his mouth like he was welcoming them home.
I moaned and writhed underneath him, reaching for his fitted, long-sleeved Henley and pulling it off over his head. Thankfully, he’d taken the jacket off when we’d walked into the suite, so all it took to feel his skin against mine again was that one garment being removed.
As soon as both our torsos were bare, he settled his weight more firmly on me, allowing me to feel his heart racing against my chest. We kissed as we rolled around on our gigantic bed, neither of us rushing but not really waiting or moving slowly either.
The rest of our clothes disappeared in a flurry of hands and moans, but he started to sit up once we were both naked to look around for his pants. I caught his wrist and pulled him back to me. With the position we’d landed in, the movement made his cock slide across my folds when he let me pull him back down, and he went as rigid as a board, those eyes wide as they flew to mine.
“Fuck, Raquel. We still need a condom.”
I repositioned myself underneath him, arching my hips until his tip was nestled right against my entrance. My heart was pounding, my body aching for him to move, but this was important, so I did my best to focus through the urgent need coursing through my veins.
“We don’t,” I said. “I’m on the pill and I have been for a long time. I won’t get pregnant and I trust you. I love you.”
He swallowed hard, those eyes suddenly like twin green flames staring into mine. “You’re saying…”
“Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. We don’t need condoms anymore.”
“Shit.”
“Unless you want them.”
He responded by planting a searing kiss on my lips and thrusting into me. Both of us moaned when he encountered no resistance whatsoever on his way in. I hooked my legs around his ass, so wet there wasn’t even a hint of discomfort.
Without anything between us, Theo started trembling almost immediately. He started moving. His thrusts were slow and deliberate. His breathing was as labored as mine. I rolled myhips in time with the pace he was setting, unable to control myself.
Feeling him everywhere, in all the right places, my orgasm started building very soon after. I clung to him, losing myself in his love, his kisses, and the way it felt like our bodies were melting into each other.
When I felt myself approaching that point of no return, Theo’s stomach dipped against mine and he swelled deep inside me. His kisses faltered for a just a beat as we went over the edge together. The orgasm was so intense that it made me feel boneless in its wake, leaving me a writhing, panting mess.
Theo moaned my name, waiting until I’d ridden out the last of its waves before he gathered me in his arms and rolled over, setting me down on the mattress beside him. Wrapped in soft hotel sheets and with the glow of Chicago’s skyline outside our windows, I lay tucked against Theo’s side, tracing lazy circles across his chest with my fingertips.
I didn’t say anything for a long time as my heart rate returned to normal and my brain went back to trying to process everything he’d said earlier. Honestly, I couldn’t believe it.
Avery was going to let Theo help us and Alex had approved of Theo’s plans to move to Quartz Pass. Neither of us would have to give up our families and we got to be together anyway.
It was incredible.
He pressed a kiss into my hair and I smiled against his shoulder before finally glancing up at him. “Now what?”
His grip on my hip tightened and I honestly thought he was going to give me a thoughtful answer about the future, but instead, he rolled me onto my back and hovered over me with a devilish grin.
“Quick marriages are a family tradition for me.”
My heart started racing as I stared up at him, trying my best to gauge whether he was serious. “What?”
Those eyes were bright and alive, but I couldn’t find any trace of joking in them. He seemed completely sincere. “You heard me.”
“Yeah, but…” I trailed off for a beat. “Well, how quick?”
He chuckled, leaning down to brush his nose against mine. “Don’t worry about it. Clearly, I’m not much for family tradition.”
“Is this part of what you discussed with your brother?”
