Driving in deep, he felt the first pulse of his own arousal. After months of going without, and finally being in the woman he wanted, he filled the condom, feeling like he was drowning in a sea of need.
Ruby arched up, screaming his name, and he felt her release as well with him. They came together, and to Theo, it was the best experience of his life.
****
The condom had broken.
Ruby watched as Theo disposed of it, returning to his bedroom with a washcloth. She was no longer a virgin. She had sex after walking out on her parents. Her life couldn’t get any more complicated, and yet, the condom had broken.
On their first time.
He wiped away the remnants of his semen and her virgin blood, leaving her again before returning. Theo didn’t grab his clothes.
He climbed into bed, wrapping his arms around her and holding her close.
Neither of them spoke for what felt like a lifetime.
Were words really needed?
“The condom broke.”
“Did you enjoy that?”
They both talked at the same time.
Ruby smiled. “Yes, I enjoyed it.”
“We’ll handle whatever happens. Do you want me to try and find the morning after pill?” Theo asked.
“You’d do that?” She looked up at him.
“I’d do anything for you.”
“Really?”
Theo opened his mouth and closed it.
“What?” she asked. “What is it?”
“I, erm, I’d met your mother before today. Before you introduced us.”
“I know. She told me that she remembered you and your dog. Where is your dog?”
“My parents take him with them whenever they have to leave the house, so he’s not on his own with me at school and everything.”
“Ah, I’d love to meet him.”
“I asked your mother for help.”
“What?” Ruby asked, watching him.
“The day at the vet. I knew who she was, and in all honesty, I was getting desperate.”
“Desperate for what?”
“To get to know you. To talk to you. I couldn’t think of how best to get your attention, and I told your mother.”
“Wait. My mom knew you were going to ask me out?” Ruby asked.
“Yes. I told her I had very deep feelings for you, and she asked me how deep, and I told her the truth. You mother really should work for law enforcement or something.”
“You have feelings for me?”
Theo cupped her cheek. “How could you think I don’t?”
“Theo, you don’t think this is moving too fast?”
He laughed. “I’m in love with you.”
Her heart pounded. “What?”
“I told your mother that. I knew without a doubt my feelings for you, and at first, she laughed at me. Told me that I didn’t know what I was talking about. Then, I told her what I felt. How I watched you from afar and had been doing so all these years. How you went through that year of wearing nothing but dungarees all year with a different neon shirt. She told me you were going through your rebel stage. I thought you looked so cute, and I loved the way they hugged your ass. Then you went in long dresses. Another thing you were going through. I didn’t like them. They were always too big and never showed your curves, apart from when you walked with speed. I’d watch you during classes, at lunch when you were around. I saw you around town with your mom, and I even begged my parents for a dog. We went to the rescue, so I could go to the vet’s.”
Tears filled her eyes as he continued.
“For a long time, I’ve been wanting to be part of your life. To see you smile. To watch you, but I didn’t know what to do, and after I revealed everything to your mother, she told me to stop doubting myself and to show her daughter how I feel. So I did.”
“I never knew.”
“I never blatantly showed you how I felt. I didn’t want you to know. I was scared, but it has never once wavered even though I wanted it to. I love you, Ruby James, more than football, more than anything else in the world. My one secret is that your mother knew how I felt as well. One day, I hope you can forgive me.”
She sniffled. “What is there to forgive?” she asked. “How can I be mad at you for that?” She pushed him to the bed and straddled his waist, kissing him hard. With how she sat, she felt him harden beneath her, and she gasped at the sheer pleasure that rushed through her.
“I want you again.”
“You’ll get sore.”
“I don’t care.” She gripped his neck and kissed him hard. “Theo,” she said.
“What?”
“I think I’m falling in love with you as well.”
In a matter of seconds, he had another condom on his hard erection, and he was at her entrance, and she slid down his length with his guidance. He showed her what he wanted, how to ride him.
