My legs part as if on instinct, and he settles between them. Our kiss becomes more frantic and desperate. This is years in themaking for me and months for Theo. Neither of us is stopping now.
Theo slowly brings his hips forward, rocking them against mine and making me gasp against his lips. His pant buckle presses against my most intimate area, and the sensation of pleasure is like nothing I could have even dreamed of.
I know it’s wrong. I know it’s sinful.
But I don’t care.
I rock my hips back to meet his. Theo growls low in his throat as he kisses me harder. His hands roam up and down my body. I’m lightheaded. I’m on fire. I’m alive for the first time ever.
“Theo,” I gasp as he kisses down my throat. It’s hot and sexy and everything else combined. I grip the back of his hair. He kisses back up to my lips and consumes my mouth like he’s a man dying of thirst in the desert.
He rocks his hips faster against mine. Every motion makes his buckle press harder against that secretive, sensitive spot I never allowed myself to touch, but I always knew was there.
A sensation builds in my lower body. I’ve never felt it before. But I can tell right away how addictive it is.
“Cecilia,” he groans against my ear, and that does it.
I grasp Theo to me tightly as the sensation within me bursts and release washes over me. Theo watches me with surprise before he grins and kisses me again. I tremble as he holds me.
“What was that?” I whisper.
“That, Cecilia, was an orgasm.”
I still can’t believe it.
I also can’t believe it when I hear the front door open and Antonio announces himself.
I push Theo away and jump off the counter, but my legs wobble, and Theo has to help me stay standing. “What’s Antonio doing here?” I ask as Antonio walks into the kitchen with Mom on his heels.
Theo, with a confidence and ease I can only dream of, walks away from me like nothing even happened. I turn away from my brother and mom and shut the water off.
Mom walks over to me. “The dishes aren’t even done,” she comments. “And one of them is cracked.” She picks the plate out of the sink. “What happened?”
“It slipped,” I say lamely.
“Dishes don’t matter,” Antonio says. “I have important news. Salvatore wants to bump the wedding date up.”
“What?” I almost scream. Forcing myself to take a deep breath, I lower my voice. “What? But the wedding isn’t for another month.”
“There’s still a lot of planning to do,” Mom says.
“I know,” Antonio replies, leaning against the table. “But he insisted. He wants the wedding to take place within two weeks.”
This time, my knees do buckle under me. Theo catches me before I hit the ground. He lets me go the moment I’m upright.
“What?” I stare at Antonio in shock. “Two weeks? No!”
“I know it’s fast,” he says, “but?—”
“No,” I interrupt him. “No. What’s fast is a car going above the speed limit. What’s fast is a cheetah. This new timeline isn’t just fast. It’s impossible. There’s too much to do. You have to tell him to put it back to the original date.”
“My hands are tied,” he says. “I need Salvatore as an ally, and if this is what needs to be done to keep him as an ally, then so be it.”
“No.”
“Cecilia,” he warns.
I don’t care. “No,” I repeat myself. “You are my brother. Not my boss. You are not going to force me into this wedding. I refuse to. I’m not doing it.”
