The shorts matched and were tight, leather, riding high on his thighs and low on his waist, snaps in the front to open for intimacy. For footwear, he had knee-high black leather books that had high, slim heels. They made his ass rise nicely.
What surprised me, though, was the black leather cuff we wore on his right bicep. The right was for submissives, usually. “Why the right?” I asked, pointing to it with a nod. “Thought you were this badass, Dom.”
“You have no idea what I am, mostly because you don’t give a fuck to find out.”
“Oh? Is that what you think?”
“Tell me differently.”
I looked into his eyes to see the storm there, and the black-lined orbs of his pled with me for a brief moment in time that sunk my heart all over again. But, like any other show of emotion from him, it didn’t last, and he turned away from me. “That’s what I thought,” he whispered.
My plan was still formulating; I had to hurt him again, which hurt me more. “Theo, I work for you. Wouldn’t you think I was pretty bad at my job if I hit on you?”
“Yeah,” he said dejectedly. His voice, that pain there, my heart tore open, and I told him I’d need to quit, but I wanted him. Before I could, Theo left the room, and I felt so low that I couldn’t breathe.
Theo came to eat, wearing somewhat regular clothes, and I tried several times to engage him in conversation, but he wouldn’t bite. I went to do my rounds and looked up to his window, but he wasn’t watching.
I don’t know why that disappointed me, but it did. I felt, at that moment, like I’d lost Theo. That thought that heaviness in my chest, it hurt. But I had to play his game, or he’d never accept me.
I ensured the house was locked tight, checked all the cameras, and shut down the lights. As I went up the stairs, however, I heard Theo moaning. I hurried to his room but stopped at the cracked open door a few inches.
There was a lamp on his bedside, and it was on, but something was covering it, diffusing the light. The room was bathed in deep pink because of it, and Theo was on his bed, cock in one hand, thin dildo in the other, one that he was using to fuck his own ass.
I knew the door was open for me. I knew Theo wanted me to see that and his other purchase from the sex store. All my arguments with myself left me that night, seeing his plea for me, his need for me. I went to my room and shut the door, giving him the privacy he didn’t want.
That night, I quit my job to take Theo as mine, but it wouldn’t be easy. I knew nothing with Theo would be easy.
Maybe that was part of why I wanted the man so fucking bad, but I didn’t question it any longer. I didn’t care why. I only cared that he was mine. I just hadn’t claimed him yet.
Chapter Eight
On the phone with Burke, I asked him to start looking for new security for Theo while I hatched my plans. “You’re jumping in, huh?”
“Not right away, no. I have to lay some groundwork first.”
“For the record, Joel keeps spouting off, pissed at you for not being with Theo. I think Theo’s mentioned it, so you’re not off base.”
“I know I’m not.” I thought of watching him fucking himself with the door cracked; that was a plea I couldn’t ignore.
The thing was, I wanted him for more than sex, and I was sure he wanted me for more too. That was the part I was unsure about, though. He was bored, so that could make him think he wanted me for more.
I pushed that from my mind. I'd never go through with it if I started to doubt myself or my intentions. “Send the new guy in a couple days, at the soonest. This is going to take a minute.”
“No problem. I’ll have one waiting in the wings, ready to take over. If someone can’t be here sooner, I’ll take the job myself until they can.”
“I’m sorry about this, Burke. I’d say my next job, I’d be more professional, but I think…no, I know, I quit. If he consents to it, I want us to stay here. I don’t think I want to be in the city.”
“I think he will. I’ll have Joel talk him into it.”
That day seemed a little brighter, but it was also colder. With the fireplace working after some help from Noah, the living room and main level of the house warmed quickly. Warm enough for Theo to walk around half naked, in briefs and that sexy crop top he enjoyed teasing with.
“How are things going with the orders for the pigs?”
He jutted his chin and said, “Splendidly. Why? Did you think I would fuck it up?”
“Not at all. I’m just waiting to give Dale the word to start…you know.”
“I don’t want to think about that, thank you.”
