Chapter Fifteen

Theo couldn’t name all the feelings that were coursing through her as the door to Cowboy’s room slammed shut behind him. The heavy bang surprised her, causing more giggles to bubble up out of her. She basically hadn’t stopped giggling since they’d made their escape from the pool, thankfully locating some towels that kind of—sort of—covered their assets. It had taken more than a little convincing on Cowboy’s part to make a run for it, and Theo’s adrenaline was still flowing strong. At least the elevators had been close to the pool.

For the first time in a very long time, Theo felt free. Unburdened. Like nothing else on the planet mattered, except for the incredibly sexy man on the other side of the room, who was currently whipping off his towel and showing off his perfect ass, complete with a children’s cartoon character.

Cowboy threw a look over his shoulder when he heard her continue to giggle, his chocolate-colored eyes dark with desire.

“What? You wanna see Pooh dance?” he asked, waggling his eyebrows.

“Dance?”

Cowboy moonwalked toward her, stopping a few feet away. Theo looked down at his ass, finding the tattoo, just as he started to rapidly clench the one cheek. Sure enough, it did almost make the bear look like he was dancing.

“OMG,” Theo laughed, covering her mouth. Only Cowboy.

He spun around, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her into him, hard, in a single move. The towel she had been holding on to for dear life dropped to the ground, as she wrapped her arms around his neck, inhaling deeply. He smelled like pool chemicals, but underneath them was still the same manly scent she’d come to associate with him. The one that sent her soaring.

“You have no idea what the sound of your laughter does to me, do you?” he asked, placing a soft kiss along her jaw.

Theo shuddered, and the lightness of her lips paired with the rest of his hard, naked body against her, including his massive dick, made her skin tingle. She wanted him so bad. More than she could ever remember wanting anyone else—even Tim. This want went way down deep in her—it was more than just craving a release. Because he was more than that.

“You have no idea what you do to me in general,” she told him, unable to pinpoint just one thing. He was bringing out a side of her that she didn’t know existed anymore—one she was actually starting to like.

“I know what I’d like to do though.”

Cowboy continued to kiss along her jaw, a new spark igniting with each feather-like touch. Theo could feel her knees get wobbly. If it wasn’t for Cowboy holding on to her, she was sure she would have collapsed by now. All this touching and teasing had her so worked up she thought she might burst. Cowboy knew what he was doing with each little brush of his lips against hers, but it still seemed like he was holding back. She didn’t want him to hold back.

“Then do it,” she told him.

She’d never had a problem communicating what she wanted, both in and out of the bedroom, but this was still probably the boldest thing she’d ever said. Probably because she knew that for the first time, she wasn’t in charge here. There would be no giving this man orders or even instructions. He was going to have his way with her however he wanted. Fuck, did that excite her.

Those words were all Cowboy seemed to need, his hands sliding down her back, gripping her ass like it was a life raft in a storm. Almost as if, were he to let go, he would die. His fingers dug into her flesh as his mouth crashed down on hers, kissing her hard. Theo mewled, these new, rougher touches such a contrast to the sweeter ones just a moment before. Everything about the change in urgency fueled her though, wanting more and more of whatever this man had up his sleeve. Leaning into his kiss, Theo felt Cowboy’s hard cock twitch against her stomach. Guess she was not the only one all revved up from this.

Snaking her hand between them, Theo found the head of his dick, wrapping her fingers around it, sliding her thumb over the top. Cowboy groaned into their kiss, biting down on her bottom lip. The sensation ripped through her—her whole body reacting to that small move.

“Unh-uh, darlin’,” he said, placing his hand over hers and taking a step back. He removed himself from her grip, and she missed the feel of him already. “I need to worship you first.”

Worship? He wanted to worship her?

Theo had no idea what that meant. All she could think of was how her very devout Greek Orthodox grandmother would have used that term in church, and that was not the visual she wanted right now. Her confusion must have been written all over her face, because Cowboy simply gave her a wink, his hands landing on her waist and guiding her toward the bed. When the backs of her knees met the mattress, she collapsed on it, licking her lips as Cowboy climbed on top, looming over her.

“First,” he said, kissing down her neck, “I’m going to spend some time getting to know these gorgeous tits of yours.”

He flicked her nipple with his tongue, then blew lightly on it, the warmth of his mouth and the coolness of the air making them tingle. He repeated the action on the other side, goosebumps forming on her skin. Back and forth he went, Theo squirming under him, unable to handle the attention. How on earth did this feel so fucking good? His open-mouth kisses, his tongue flicking the taut little peaks, his fingers lazily drawing patterns on her bare skin—it was like nothing she’d ever experienced. Every nerve ending felt like it was firing in overtime, her mind unable to focus on anything other than what he was making her feel.

Working his way back up, Cowboy placed long, slow kisses along her skin, as if he were branding her with each kiss. The softness of his beard tickled, making her want to giggle again. Shifting herself, Theo tried to position her hips against his, her sex desperate for some kind of attention. He was on to her though, keeping himself just enough out of the way so she couldn’t get what she wanted, making her even more desperate.

“Don’t worry darlin’,” he drawled. “That pretty pussy of yours will get all the attention it deserves.”

Theo’s heart stopped, his dirty words sending a wave of heat through her at the same time a chill ran up her spine. Who knew the King of Happy-Go-Lucky had such a dirty mouth? Theo never would have guessed, but fuck if she didn’t like it.

“In fact,” he continued, grabbing ahold of her shoulders and rolling them over. The move was quick, placing Theo on top of him, forcing her to catch her already staggered breath. “I think you need to get up here and sit on my face.”

Oh fuck…

The heat wave hit her again. Doing as she was told, Theo slithered up Cowboy’s body, stopping just long enough to flick one of his nipple piercings with her tongue. He muttered a curse, his hips jerking. Theo gave him a wicked grin, filing away the knowledge of just how much he liked that. Two could play this game.

Or so she thought, until Cowboy grabbed her hips, pulling her up the rest of the way, until her core rested just above his mouth.
