I turned and there was Theo. Here, at the school.
I blinked, confused. “Um… hi.”
His dark eyes raked down my body and took in my black jeans and Hunter Valley Elementary red sweatshirt. It had a big falcon on the front, the school’s mascot. I was covered head to toe, in complete contrast to how he’d left me the night before, his mouth glistening with my arousal, his short beard coated in me.
Coated.
I’d been naked. Sprawled wantonly across the guest bed.
He’d gotten me off… twice, with an insane tongue/finger combo, then left.
No reciprocation. He’d been fully dressed, and I’d been completely bare. Legs spread wide.
After that, I’d crashed hard. The day had been hell. I hadn’t slept in jail the night before. God, jail. Seriously, I was still processing being arrested. And me, for solicitation? I hadn’t even seen Theo’s dick andIwas the one having to post bail for offering sex for money.
Totally ironic.
The long trip home had been far from restful. And it seemed two orgasms were the best sleeping pill around.
But when my alarm went off this morning, reality came crashing back. As I’d brushed my teeth, I made a mental list.
I had to go back to Las Vegas, stand before a judge and explain that I wasn’t a prostitute and why the undercover cop thought I was one.
I had to find the money to actually get to Las Vegas to do that. And a lawyer.
I had to keep all of that a secret from the Hunter Valley gossip grapevine.
1-3 didn’t take into account Theo and his exceptionally dedicated and focused oral skills. Or the fact that we’d never kissed. That he didn’t linger after satisfying me. That he didn’t seek reciprocation. I felt… serviced.
Of course, every woman in the world would be happy with beingservicedby Theo James. He’d said if I wanted sex, it’d be him to do it with. He didn’t saydate.Or use therelationshiporlovewords.
Even though I’d made the bold statement that I was marrying Theo–more than once–I had no silly notions about that actually happening. I hadn’t had epic expectations from Tom either, but I did ultimately want to find someone. Get married. Sure, I’d kept pushing that I was going to marry Theo, but that had been loud-mouth me. Theo didn’t want marriage.
He said he was going to give me sex, without dick penetration. Until I got on birth control. Then I’d get The Dick. I hoped. If I got the shot at my appointment this afternoon, the one I read up on, I’d be covered immediately. Not that we wouldn’t use condoms as well. He’d said two forms of protection.
I didn’t want kids but clearly Theo didn’t either. Or he didn’t want to be tied to me.
I totally caught on to that. He might be a vigorous and thorough lover–from what we’d done so far–but we hadn’t evenkissed. No foreplay, although how he licked and sucked on my nipples the night before probably counted. He was so unbelievably hot… but distant at the same time. There was a connection, chemistry, between us. But noattachment.
Beneath my plain bra, the nipples he’d worked over so well the night before now tingled. Good thing the sweatshirt was loose because he’d see how hard they were otherwise. Same with everyone else in the assembly room.
“Whatever you’re thinking, I want to do to you later,” he said, leaning in close, not that anyone could overhear.
I flushed. I could feel the heat on my cheeks, and I was sure I was as red as my sweatshirt. My mind just went on a trip somewhere inappropriate for being in a room full of first-graders.
With a quick throat clear, I asked, keeping my voice just above a whisper, “What are you doing here?”
Theo leaned against the wall and tipped his chin toward the front of the room where the fire chief was presenting. “Mac pretty much blackmailed me into participating.” He didn’t sound that thrilled about the idea, especially since it took coercion to do it.
“You know Mac?”
He nodded. “Firefighter training on Saturday.”
“Ah.” I didn’t know how Mac had blackmailed Theo, but he didn’t seem to be in the mood to share.
The kids clapped for whatever Mac just said. He was in his bunker gear and held his helmet and oxygen mask up for the kids to see.
“What am I supposed to say to these guys?” Theo asked. “Mac says I have a stick up my ass.”
