He was deathly still, but so was I now that I was only a few inches away from him.
“It’s too loud down here,” he all of a sudden said, pushing to the edge of the seat. He kept his gaze solely on me as he held his hand out. “Come with me?”
Blinking, I glanced from his hand to his face then back again. He wanted to be somewhere quieter, but that would also mean we’d be alone, and right then, I knew it wasn’t a good idea.
My body was reacting in ways that I didn’t want it to. I had no control over it at all.
“Lena?”
Pulling in a breath, I decided to throw caution to the wind. Besides, how bad could it become anyway?
So I placed my hand in his, letting him pull me from the booth, across the dancefloor, and up the hidden stairs behind the DJ spot.
I stared down at our hands as we walked down the hallway toward his office, the stark contrast of my pale skin against his tattooed hand making me feel…I had no idea how it made me feel. This was wrong, I knew that, but I didn’t stop him as he opened his office door and pulled me inside.
I’d already crossed a line with him once. I’d committed the cardinal sin, yet it still didn’t stop my breaths from coming faster and my pulse thrumming with excitement.
The locks clicked as he closed the door behind us, then there was a second of silence, one where neither of us moved. We just stared at each other. I had no idea what he was thinking, no idea what he was going to do next.
“Now what?” I asked him, my voice low.
“Now…” He moved toward me, backing me up to the door. “Now I do what I’ve been thinking about since I dropped you back at your apartment.”
I relished in the coolness of the door against the skin of my shoulders and tilted my head back to stare up at him. “And what’s that?” I was flirting, the one thing I shouldn’t have been doing.
“I can tell you,” he murmured, tracing the pad of his finger down my cheek and to my lips. “Or I can show you.” He pulled on my bottom lip, let it go, then kept going over my chin and down my neck.
This was where I should have backed away. Where I should have told him that I needed to leave. But what came out of my mouth was, “Show me.”
I’d barely gotten the words out before he’d slammed his lips down onto mine. This time it was so unlike when we were at his penthouse. He wasn’t soft and gentle, instead he was hard, brutal…passionate.
Groaning, I lifted one of my feet off the floor and tried to wrap it around his waist. I was getting carried away, but there was nothing I could do to stop myself. For once in my life, I was going to take what I wanted when I wanted it.
The remorse could come later, but right then, I just wanted him.
Me, Lena, the cop trying to bring him down, wanted Theo, the criminal with a reputation.
We were complete opposites, but it didn’t matter in that moment.
“Fuck,” he grunted as he pulled his lips from mine. “You’re driving me crazy, Lena.”
“Good,” I panted out, pushing my hips closer to his. “Because you’re doing the exact same to me.”
He rested his forehead against mine, breathing me in. He was trying to slow us down, but I couldn’t afford for that to happen. I needed every ounce of him that I could get before my brain decided to kick back in and made way for logic.
“More,” I whispered, keeping my eyes focused on his. “I want more.”
“Damn,” he said under his breath. “I think I’m getting addicted to you.” I didn’t think I was meant to hear that last part, but I had—loud and clear.
I pushed my hands through his almost black hair, relishing in the softness, then groaned as his lips connected with mine. This time though he reached down and grabbed my thighs, hoisting me up so our hips were aligned.
I could feel his erection against my inner thigh, and just the thought of it being near me had me wet.
Sliding my tongue across Theo’s, I then wrapped my lips around it, sucking it into my mouth. His hips thrust hard, his involuntary reaction exactly what I wanted.
I wanted to undo him.
I wanted him to want me more than he’d ever wanted anything or anybody else in his life.
