Theo’s chest puffed with male pride. He’d been the one to put the satisfied smile on her face, andhe had beenthe first man to ever do it. The word “first” deflated the air from his lungs. The first man but not the last. She was on a mission to find a man to marry and father her children.
“Is everything all right? It looks like you’re having second thoughts.” She reached over and rubbed a finger over his eyebrows.
“I wasn’t gentle, are you sure you’re okay?” He needed to think about something else, not Chloe living her happily ever after without him.
She ran her finger down the side of his face and tapped it on his lips. “I’m fine. Great. Thank you for making my first time everything I hoped it would be and more.”
He reached over and kissed the tip of her nose. “I’m glad I didn’t disappoint you.”
Before he could pull away, she hooked her arm around his neck and pulled him to her lips, kissing him with the promise of round two. As their lips parted, his cock sprang to attention, ready to go again.
He reluctantly broke away. “This was a one-time thing.” Although it wouldn’t be if it was up to his dick.
“Why?” She frowned. “I still have so much to learn, and who better than someone I’m comfortable with to teach me?”
He chuckled at her reasoning.
“I’m serious!” she said, and if she’d been standing, he had no doubt she would have stamped her foot. “I have so much lost time to make up for. I’ve missed a lot. So many positions to try and places to do them in.” Her gaze grew sultry, and her hand splayed on his chest, heading south.
He clamped his hand around her wrist. “What positions and what places?” he asked even though he knew he shouldn’t. Why torture himself that way? But his curiosity couldn’t remain unsated.
“Well, we’ve done missionary. But there are so many other things we haven’t done.” She turned to her side, propping her head on her fist, leaving her body totally exposed. He loved how she wasn’t shy about lying there nude in the midday sun. She bit her bottom lip while she thought, and damn, it was sexy. “I can be on top. You can take me from behind. There’s reverse cowgirl, just to name a few. Oh, and I liked your idea of up against the wall.” She tapped him on the nose. “Then we could do it in the shower or bath, at a party, in the bathroom at a club, in a car… Mmmm… I really want to do it in your car—all that leather…”
He jerked his head back. “You want to try all that?”
She nodded and giggled.
Covering his face with his hands, he groaned, “You’re gonna kill me.”
“At least you’ll die a happy man.” She smirked.
Theo shook his head. Damn, it would be a hell of a way to go. There was still something he needed to make sure of before they did this again, not only for Chloe’s sake, but also to remind himself he couldn’t fall in love with her because he couldn’t give her what she wanted. He rolled to his side to mirror her position. “This is only sex, right? Things won’t change. This is not a relationship. I am not your happily ever after.”
She glanced down and lightly plucked at the hairs on his chest. “I know. I haven’t forgotten what I want.”
Which meant that while she fucked him, she’d still be looking for a husband. A sharp pain stabbed him in the chest. To take his mind off it, he rose from the bed, pulling her along with him. “Time to tick off something from your list.”
“So, you’ll do all those things with me?” Her eyes sparkled.
He’d be crazy to agree. He was preparing her for another man. How sick was that? But when he looked at her still glowing from their tryst, how could he say no? She was too damn tempting, and he wanted her again. After doing all the positions and places she wanted, hopefully he would have fucked her out of his system even though a tiny part whispered that would never happen. He plastered a smile on and said, “I’m sure I can manage a few. Where’s your bathroom? It’s time we got wet.”
Her face split into a huge grin, and she bounded off the bed. “This way. Are you sure you’re up to it so soon?”
Grabbing her wrist, he guided her to his hard-on. “Glowy, you’d better believe I’m ready.”
Chapter Twenty-Four
Thefollowingmorning,Chloeawoke early, feeling deliciously refreshed. She stretched languidly, and muscles she’d never even known she had protested in response. I guess this is what it’s like to not be a virgin anymore.
“Hey, beautiful,” Theo’s husky voice came from her left side. “How are you feeling?”
“Fabulous.” She smiled and shifted closer to him. “Want to check off just-woke-up sex from the list?”
“Sure. Just let me go brush my teeth first.”
That was probably a good idea, and she should definitely take care of a few other things before they settled down into round… three? Four? Five? She’d lost track. As she mentally cataloged the things she needed to do, her phone started vibrating and flashing with an incoming video call. She picked it up and frowned. What was Aiden doing, calling her at… four thirty in the morning? Was everyone okay? Had something happened? Picking up Theo’s discarded shirt, she hastily shrugged it on and clicked “accept.”
Instead of her brother’s rugged face, her six-year-old nephew, Noah, filled the screen, a grin spread across his lips. “Hi, Aunt Chloe!”
