Theo kisses my neck again, trailing his lips down to my breasts, breathing heavily as he goes. When he reaches my nipples, he takes one in his mouth and brushes it lightly with his tongue, and I let out a soft moan. He pulls back long enough to pull his own shirt over his head, and I have a chance to admire the muscles of his chest and his toned abs. There’s still a scar on his side where the bullet grazed him, but despite the pang of sadness I feel at the thought of how close I came to losing him, all I can do now is drink in the sight of him.
Then he’s pressing his body against mine again, his hands moving to my jeans as he deftly fumbles them open and tugs them down my thighs. I take a moment to kick them off, along with my shoes, as he does the same, and as he covers my body with his again, I can feel his cock against my thigh. I’m wet with desire, and the feeling of his strong arms wrapping around me, of his lips on mine, is intoxicating.
Theo drops his hands to my panties and pulls them down, and I’m momentarily mortified at the thought that he’s going to notice how turned on I am already, but then he pushes my thighs apart, and I’m too lost to care. He presses his fingers against my clit, rubbing me in slow, teasing strokes that have me gasping against his mouth and bucking against him.
“You’re perfect,” Theo murmurs against my lips as he dips a finger inside me, pulling back to search my face as his eyes lock with mine. I gasp at the feeling of him, losing myself in it, and as the pleasure mounts, I’m barely able to let out a cry before I’m gone, ecstasy flooding my body.
It takes me a moment to come back down to earth, but when I do, I realize that Theo is still watching me, his expression serious as he hovers over me. “Do you want this?” he asks, and I don’t have to ask to know what he means.
“Yes,” I breathe, still trembling from the aftershocks of my first orgasm. “Please.”
Theo moves over me, his forehead touching mine, his silver eyes unreadable. “You’re sure?”
I nod slowly. “I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life.”
Theo kisses me again, hungry with desire, and as he strips off his boxers, a small thrill goes through my stomach. He’s big, and I gasp when at last he pushes inside me, agonizingly slowly. All I can do is stare into his eyes as he starts to move. The feeling of him inside me is incredible, and for a moment I can’t do anything but enjoy the feeling of his body against mine. But then he starts to move faster, and I can feel myself tensing as the pleasure builds again, desperate for release. I’ve never felt anything like it, and I let out a moan as I feel him come with me, neither of us able to hold back any longer.
Our bodies are still for a moment after, the only sound the rushing of our combined breath. Then Theo pulls away, his face serious as he stares down at me. And when he presses his lips gently to mine, I can’t help but feel like everything has changed.
When he finally does pull out of me, making me yearn for more already, Theo is quiet, and I can tell by his furrowed brow that he’s deep in thought. But he doesn’t move away when I reach up to touch his cheek; rather, he buries his face in my neck and wraps his arms around me, holding me close. I can feel the warmth of his body against mine, and I close my eyes, breathing in his familiar scent. If I could stay like this forever, I would.
“Theo,” I finally venture, letting my eyelids flutter open.
“Yeah, kid?” he asks.
“What does this mean?”
He pulls back to look at me, his gaze soft but unreadable. “I don’t know,” he says, “but I don’t regret it.” There’s a heavy pause as he watches me, and I almost think I catch a glimpse of concern in his eyes, but he masks it quickly. “Do you?” he asks finally.
“No,” I reply, shaking my head slowly. “I don’t regret it. But... what happens now?”
“This,” Theo replies, and pulls me in for another kiss.
ChapterThirteen
When I wake up, I find myself tangled up in Theo’s sheets, and for a moment when I come to, I panic, disoriented and not sure where I am. The air is cool against my skin, but his strong, muscular arm is warm where it’s wrapped around my body, and that’s when it all comes rushing back to me.
Theo. My husband’s brother. Future leader of the Emmerico-Dalton crime syndicate. And I just had sex with him.
With bleary eyes, I glance at the bedside clock, which tells me it’s gotten late—nearly past dinner hour. I must have drifted off in his arms, but as much as this is all so new to me, I find myself not wanting to get up. My muscles ache pleasantly from exertion, and it’s been so long since I’ve felt this kind of peace.
Theo’s face is pressed against the back of my neck, his breath slow and steady, and he shifts a little in his sleep, pulling me more tightly against him. I melt into his embrace, letting my eyes drift closed... until I remember that, in spite of everything that’s happened between the two of us, the alliance is still in jeopardy. Nothing between our parents has changed. That fills me with tension, and I can’t seem to relax again, even in Theo’s arms.
He must somehow sense it, because he loosens his grip on me, shifting a little in bed, and murmurs, “You okay, kid?”
“Just... thinking,” I reply, rolling onto my back so I can look at him. “About the situation we’re in. This thing with our parents isn’t going to go away, Theo.”
“Yeah,” he agrees. He opens his eyes, looking at me for a moment before sliding his hand up to my face and running his thumb over my cheek. I melt into his palm, unable to look away. “I figured.”
“Do you think it’s Lucas?” I ask. “Causing the trouble?”
“If it is,” Theo says slowly, his tone low and measured, “I’ll deal with him myself.”
“But what if...” I turn over all the way, peering up into his face. “If this goes up to the top, Theo, there’s going to be trouble.” I give a dry chuckle. “Hell, maybe there’salreadytrouble.”
“Vivian,” Theo says, pressing a kiss to my temple, “I’m not going to let—”
But he’s interrupted by the sound of my cell phone ringing. Startled, I sit bolt upright, fear washing over me at the thought that it’s Lucas, but nevertheless, I scramble out of bed and pull my jeans out of the pile on the floor.
