I pressed the unlock button and waited near the door for the soft knock that came a minute later.

When I opened the door, Theo’s expression was concerned as his eyes searched my face. “Are you okay?”

I stepped aside so he could enter. “Yeah, I’m fine.”

Looking beyond him, I wished I had a comfortable couch.

Oranycouch.

Or at least a couple chairs.

Since my apartment was so small, I hadn’t had room for both a bed and a couch unless I slept on a twin size. One of my few splurges had been a queen mattress when I got the place. It was lumpy, and there was a spring that’d collapsed and left an indented area, but it was big and pretty comfortable.

Theo didn’t say anything about the lack of seating. Instead, he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at me expectantly.

“You were right,” I blurted out.

“Of course I was,” he said with a nod before smiling. “But what specifically about?”

“I was looking for an out before.”

His smile faded, but he didn’t respond.

I hesitated, not sure how much to say. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to talk to him. For once, Iwantedto open up. I just didn’t want it to set the mood for the night.

“I bounced around foster homes a lot, so I learned not to get attached.”

Grabbing my wrist, he tugged me close to where he sat. His hands moved to my hips. One at a time, they slid down the back of my thigh and pulled so I had to put my knees on the mattress, straddling him. He stroked up over my ass to between my shoulders, holding me tight to him. “And now?”

“I’m attached.” I could barely hear my own voice as my fingers slid through his soft hair. I watched as his face changed in understanding, his dimples becoming noticeable in a barely there smile. Just as quickly, it was gone and a wickedly erotic gaze was left in its place.

Yanking my mouth to his, there was an edge to Theo’s kiss that hadn’t been there before. A different kind of urgency. There was no holding back.

No control.

His palm held the back of my head as he roughly took my mouth. His other fingers dug into my hip, pressing me against his hardness.

I rocked my hips, my tongue dancing with his. Tugging at his shirt, our kiss ended just long enough for me to whip it off as Theo did the same with mine.

Gripping my ass in one hand, Theo stood but didn’t stop kissing me. His groan matched my soft moan as he moved me up his hardness so I was pressed against his abs. He shifted, his pants rustling as he pushed them down and kicked off his shoes. When he repeated the movement to remove his boxers, his hard cock bounced back up, hitting my ass.

He turned and lowered me to the bed, following me down. His mouth left mine as he trailed kisses down my neck. Teasing licks and gentle bites, he moved down to my chest. His mouth covered my nipple, sucking it in deep. Holding himself up with one elbow, his other hand went between us.

When he curled his fingers into the elastic band of my pj shorts, I lifted my bottom off the bed so he could tug them down. Leaving them taut around my thighs, his hand skimmed up my inner thigh. Up and down through my wetness, his touch was light and teasing, but his mouth on my nipple was rougher.

Hard, deep sucks had me arching my back.

More forceful bites caused my breath to come out in a hiss.

With one last strong pull, he released my nipple and switched to the other. This time, his tongue was soft, licking slow and lazy as it twirled. His teeth grazed lightly, never fully biting.

His touch on my pussy changed, too. Thumb circling my clit, he put pressure on as he quickened his pace. His index finger pushed into me, his groan vibrating against my tit and drowning out my own noise. He added a second finger, sliding it in and out a few times before curling them to stroke.

My ass went off the bed as Theo hit the right spot, my hand clutching his head to my breast. “More,” I ordered, my voice raspy.

Keeping the pressure, his thumb switched to rub my clit up and down quickly. My legs began shaking, the gentle pulsing between them growing to something more.

Just as my breath caught, Theo stopped and removed his hand. Before I could voice my disappointment, though, he pulled my shorts off and moved down my body so his head was between my thighs. His tongue licked up slowly.
