TWENTY-FIVE
HADLEY
It’s probably a good thing the phone calls with his lawyers keep Theo busy all afternoon otherwise we’d get nothing accomplished. Several times, I linger too long in my thoughts, reliving the first time we were together. I squirm remembering the way he took command of my body, of my pleasure. There’s an ache between my legs and I’m desperate to relieve myself, to quench the fire inside me, if only temporarily.
Surely there’s no harm in taking matters into my own hands.
I slip into the master bedroom and sit on the bench in front of Theo’s king-sized bed. Leaning back, I sneak a hand under the waistband of my shorts and stop short. I pause, listening for any sign I might get caught. When my fingers finally brush against the front of my panties, I breathe out with relief. It won’t take long to get myself off, only a few moments because I’m already wound tight from this morning and then from our conversation in the car.
He told me to use my imagination. Anything I dreamed up, he would do.
I’m going to hold him to that promise.
His mouth on me, licking and sucking the forbidden areas of my body. As I picture his dark head between my thighs, I push aside the gusset of my panties and dip a finger between my drenched slit. A hiss escapes my lips.
Soon, my head fills with an assortment of filthy possibilities, all of them propelling my fingers to dance quickly through my folds and across my clit, teasing it until a familiar tension builds inside my muscles.
“What are you doing?”
My closed eyes pop open, my hand stills.Shit.
I can’t bringmyself to look at Theo, but I hear his heavy footsteps against the hardwood floor as he approaches me. I start to slide my hand away but he’s quick, latching on to my arm and stopping me.
“I asked you a question,” he states. “What are you doing?”
Nothing. I was doing absolutely nothing. Except, I can’t say that because I was very clearly doingsomethingwhen he caught me. So all I answer is, “I’m sorry.”
“No need to apologize, baby. If you’re all worked up thinking about what I’ve got planned for you tonight, then by all means, scratch that itch.” Finally, I manage to meet his gaze. He doesn’t look angry, more like amused thanks to the smirk on his face. “Go on, Hadley. Scratch it. Show me how you make yourself come.”
My mouth falls open because I don’t spend much time masturbating. I do what I do to make myself feel good, and usually, I don’t last long. It’s almost embarrassing to admit and I don’t want to be on display.
I spread my legs wide, as if to challenge him, and say, “Why don’t you make me come instead.”
“Sassy little thing.” He licks his lips and rubs his stubbled cheek with one hand.
A fucking car horn interrupts us. The sound of it filters through the house and we both know what that means. Colton and Piper are home.
“Too bad,” he says. “I guess you’ll just have to wait.”
With a huff, I slip my hand out from beneath my shorts and stand up. There’s still an ache between my legs but it’s going to have to wait until tonight. Theo reaches out and grabs the hand I used, bringing it to his nose to inhale the musky scent of my arousal before sucking each finger into his mouth.
“Fucking delicious, baby,” he says with a wink. “I know exactly what I’m going to do to you tonight.”
“What?” I ask, though I can guess the answer.
“Eat you alive.”
He turns on his heel and exits the bedroom, his feet slapping against the stairs as he makes his way down to greet his kids and parents, leaving me to collect myself.
I head into the attached bathroom and splash cold water on my face before leaving to join Theo downstairs.
“Hadley!” Piper greets me, nearly knocking me over the moment I step into the living room. She’s a little thing and I easily lift her up into my arms. She starts telling me about everything she did during her week away, talking a mile a minute.
Eventually, I laugh and tell her to slow down. “It sounds like you had so much fun, I can’t keep up with all the amazing things you did.”
“I did have a lot of fun, but I didn’t pet any doggies,” she says with a pout.
“I’m sure we can find a few to pet tomorrow on the beach.”
