When she finishes, I return the favor tenfold, eating her for hours. It takes giving her three orgasms before I finally fuck her to sleep. Literally. I stroke in and out after our last set of climaxes, and she slowly doses off, spent, and I slide out, pulling her into me as I let slumber take me too.
Tonight, everything changed, and I can no longer lie. The truth is coming. It has to.
CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
HANNA
“I will see you in a little bit. Drive safe,” I tell him.
Brenda asked me to come to dinner to meet her parents Sunday afternoon, and when Theo heard, he said we would go together and that he wants to introduce me. I suggested it be as friends, but he simply growled and smacked me on the ass. So there was no argument there.
“I will, baby. You too. Also, my parents may hound you. Just give me the look, and I will get us out of there.”
I laugh. “I think I can handle it.”
“Yeah, my parents are intense, and they’re going through a divorce, so the tension might be thick.”
I stay silent for a minute. He hadn’t yet told me about his parents and their plan to divorce. “You know I’m here to listen—I mean, about your parents.”
He doesn’t make a sound on the other end. It’s almost eerily silent.
Finally, he says, “Because there is nothing to say. Love doesn’t always last.”
I hold onto that, praying that he and I don’t suffer that fate. Theo is made for me, everything I could want and more, and I could never picture a world where he and I aren’t the same.
Especially after the other night, when he helped me finally see me—and I mean see me… as someone worth loving and deserving to be at all tables and in every category as the women I believed were better than me. That moment solidified this. He opened my eyes, and I saw sides of me that I wish I could have seen before him.
Then, when he carved his initial into my leg and I carved mine on him, it changed something in both of us. It made us even madder for one another. It turned love into insanity an unhealthy and dangerous obsession, but we both crave it.
“Okay, but I’m here,” I add simply.
“I will see you in twenty minutes. We will get through this dinner, and then I need to be inside you. Got it?” he deflects, his signature trait.
“You will, since you’re taking me away to some cabin this weekend. You aren’t going to kidnap me and keep tied up, are you?”
“Puppet, don’t tempt me.”
“Maybe I want to, baby. Maybe I want to be tied down and punished really, really, badly.”
“Mmm,” he growls. “I packed cuffs, and now you’re getting them at all times when we’re there.”
I blush, now even more excited for the weekend away. “I’m counting on it. See you soon.”
“Say it.”
I roll my eyes. “I love you, Theo.”
“I love you, greens.” We end the call, and I finish up the paperwork for payroll.
The hour feels like three, but finally, I’m pulling up to Brenda and Theo’s parents’ house. Theo stands on the porch on his phone, and when he sees me, he gives me a smile. He looks delicious, wearing jeans, a white V-neck t-shirt and a ball cap. I rarely see him in hats, but the casual look is amazing on him.
“Grabbing the pie, I climb out and right my outfit. I changed at work before leaving, not wanting to meet their parents in just jeans and my work shirt. I went with a romper that ends mid-thigh. It’s a baby blue, and the shorts have one layer of frill, making it look like a skirt, and the top is a deep V that ends where there is a belt that I tied into a bow. My hair is down and curled, and I wore a medium amount of makeup.
“What the fuck are you wearing?” Theo growls when I shut the door. I didn’t see him move from the porch to me while I was reaching into the passenger seat for the pie I made last night.
I look down at myself, suddenly insecure once again. “Does it look that bad? I can run home and change.”
He pushes me against the car, and his erection nudges my stomach. “Does my cock say you look bad? You look so damn sexy I want to fuck you against this car.”
Blushing, I look up to the house, then back to him, putting my hand on his chest and smiling up at him. “After. I promise.” Standing up on my tiptoes, I offer him my lips, and it’s a lazy kiss, my top lip between his, and we linger.
“Damn, I had to fall in love with the biggest tease. Now I have to wait for my hard-on to go down before I take you inside.”
