His hand tightened. “Not happening this time, love.”
My skin prickled as he tugged my mouth down to his. For a while, I was pliant in his arms, letting him lead.
Finally, he started tugging off my shirt, taking my bra with it.
“Now this is a view,” he said as his eyes roamed over me. One hand raised to cup one of my breasts, and I gasped at the sensation.
Tugging at his shirt, I needed to see more of him. He let me struggle for a moment, too busy staring at me to move, but then propped up so I could rip it off.
As much as I wanted to stare at his tattoos like I did every time he was bare chested, there was no room for that.
Besides, I had plenty of time to stare. There was no end date to this. It was just us.
I couldn’t be held back any longer. I climbed off him to go for his belt. This time, I didn’t struggle, and his jeans slid off easily.
His cock strained against the confines of his underwear, and my mouth watered at the sight. I stood, hoping to readjust and get back to being on top of him.
Theo sat up, aiming for my leggings.
“I believe in equality,” he said before tugging them down.
“Oh, really? Then why is my underwear coming off too?”
“Happy accident.”
I rolled my eyes and evened the playing field, getting him as naked as I was. When I hooked one leg over him, I felt him at my core, which already needed him.
“Slow, love.” His voice was a soft reminder.
“I can do what I want up here.”
“I want to enjoy you,” he replied, sliding a hand up my thigh. “Just kiss me for a moment.”
There was no way I could say no to his soft voice. Leaning down, I did what he asked, letting my lips slide over his. In my books, I always organized my scenes as spicy and romantic. While one could lead to another, they never overlapped.
Real life was different. I never realized how much being with someone I loved made everything blend together. Did I want to fuck Theo all the time? Yes. Did I want to talk to him all the time too? Also yes.
Slowing down meant getting to feel everything. One hand was tight on my thigh while the other cupped my cheek. It was so nice to simply be close to him, even as I felt empty without him.
Pausing made me only want it more, and when he shifted upward, giving me a taste of that perfect friction I needed, a whine escaped me.
Theo sucked in a sharp breath. “You’re so wet. Way more than you were before. There’s a benefit to slowing down, love.”
I stopped for a moment to consider everything I was feeling. Before, I didn’t think it was possible to feel more into this, but now my body was practically pulsing for him.
“All right, you have me there.”
Theo hummed and shifted his hips once more. Instead of the friction being rougher, this time it was smooth against my core. I shamelessly ground my hips, chasing each bolt of heat that coursed through me. My breath picked up as I got what I needed.
Theo was patient just like he always was, but he dragged me down and brought my nipple into his mouth. I let out a cry, feeling more of that heat that I craved.
He was so good at this. So good at it andmine.
“I’m ... I’m—” I couldn’t speak. I was too lost in the pleasure.
“I know, love. Take what you need. Use me.”
Fuck.I wished I could tell him how much that nearly sent me over the edge, but words escaped me as I was lost in him. Everything built up faster than it ever had before, and the heat shattered and spread through every inch of my body all at once.
