“How come?” Mom asks, already taking plates to the sink.

“Because you could use a break,” I tell her. Because I really just want to see Theo alone.

She looks between Theo and me. “Cecilia,” she warns.

“Nothing. I just want to do the dishes. It will help take my mind off Salvatore.”

She sighs and finally nods. “All right. It would be nice to sit down for a little while. Don’t take too long.” She heads into the living room while the twins run upstairs and Mia remains seated on her phone.

“Mia.” She doesn’t look up. “Mia,” I say louder.

“What?” she mutters, eyes still on her phone.

“I’m going to do the dishes.”

She shrugs. “So?”

My eyes land on Theo, and I can tell he’s trying hard to suppress a smile. “So, can you leave?”

“Why? You’re just doing dishes,” she responds. “I’m on my phone. I’m not bothering anyone.”

“Didn’t you have a driver’s test to study for?” Theo asks, making Mia finally look up. “I just remember you talking about studying for it.”

Mia rolls her eyes. “Yeah. You’re right. I do. But who drives in New York anyway?” she grumbles to herself as she leaves the room.

“Thank you,” I mouth to Theo.

“No problem,” he mouths back with a wink. I have to keep myself from squealing with excitement like an idiot.

The only problem with my plan to get Theo alone is that I now have to do the dishes.

As I work on them, I feel Theo’s hands graze my hips, startling me so much that I drop a plate in the sink, and it cracks. “Shoot.”

“Sorry,” Theo says, his lips close to my ear. “I just needed to touch you again.”

I gasp and go still. Is this really happening? This is happening. Everything I had ever dreamed of is about to come true. Theo is flirting with me. Theo is touching me. It’s almost overwhelming.

I turn around slowly to face him. “You wanted to touch me?”

“I did.” He smiles slightly. “You don’t know how long I’ve wanted to touch you. For an entire year, I had to hold myself back.”

“A year? Talk about nine years for me.”

He chuckles as he leans in and kisses me. I kiss him back, my soapy hands gripping his shirt. Theo doesn’t seem to care. He only kisses me harder while he presses me against the counter. I keep the water running in the sink, so my mom doesn’t think it’s weird when everything goes silent.

Theo’s lips are dominant on mine. Firm but gentle. Sweet but passionate. It’s making my head spin.

I slide my hands around his neck as he tugs me closer to him. Before I know it, he picks me up and sets me on the counter. “Theo?” I whisper.

“You’re okay.”

“Should we be doing this with my mom in the other room?”

A dark twinkle enters his eye. “No. We shouldn’t be. But I’m beyond caring.” He kisses me deeply, and I’m lost to it. Everything starts to slip around me. It’s just Theo and me.

He slides his hands to my waist and squeezes, making an intense arousal fill me. I’ve never really felt that before except when I would think about Theo alone in my bed. I never tried to touch myself because I was taught masturbation was a sin, but I contemplated it so many times.

But now, I’m getting the real thing. Theo touching me.
