“Take my clothes off,” he said.
I grasped his suit jacket and pulled it down, locking his biceps in place. Then I unbuttoned his shirt as he heaved out his breaths, chin down, mouth parted, those crystalized blue eyes watching my every move. Gripping the sides, I peeled his shirt open, untucking the flaps and exposing the deep V of his pelvic muscles.
The belt was next. I unbuckled it within the electrified silence and pulled it loose in a smooth arc. Button, zipper,peel.I shoved his pants down and he stepped out, and after I released his arms from the lock of the blazer, he assisted with the rest. But it was smooth, unhurried, and had me pausing. I expected Theo totakeme, to throw me against the bathroom tiles or prop me against the sink and thrust. My body ached for it.
Instead, he offered his hand and guided me into the glass-walled shower.
He twisted the faucet. Almost like a waltz, he had us change positions, my back to the spray. Ever so gently, he tipped my chin up, then combed his fingers into my hair, stroking, coaxing the color to leave in dark rivulets down my body and pool at my feet before disappearing down the drain.
Theo’s massage had me closing my eyes, giving in to his tender touch. When I reopened, droplets had collected in his eyelashes and put a shine to his lips. In the lackluster lighting, his scar seemed to disappear, just like mine had, as he continued to comb and stroke. Still, he made no moves to press me to him, to feel his erection, to do anything other than simply be sweet.
I lifted to my toes, nuzzling against the stubble on his jawline, closing my eyes again as he finished washing out my hair.
A man like this wasn’t supposed to know how to be kind.
These moments were too tender. These seconds too special. They would turn into the kind of memories that had the power to ruineverything.
I landed on the soles of my feet.
Grasping his chin, hard, I threw him off-balance enough to step closer. Yet, I stopped the propulsion mere millimeters from my lips.
“Control, Theo,” I murmured. “Do you have it?”
He allowed enough time for one quick breath. “Fuck, no.”
Theo’s mouth slammed against mine.
