He’s about to get exactly what he’s asking for, especially considering the way he’s looking right now as he takes care of me—all starved and possessive.

My hands are in his hair, gripping tight as I press his mouth further against me. I can't help it. I want his teeth on me—I want every ounce of pressure he can give me. Theo growls at my feverous behavior and gives me another dominating lick that has my eyes rolling into the back of my head.

“Where are those pretty eyes, Nora?”

I force my gaze back on his despite my fleeting will of concentration. There’s nothing I can manage to focus on but the steady thrum and movement of his mouth. Theo pulls his fingers out of me, drawing hishand beneath his briefs as he kisses my cunt. He begins stroking himself, watching me writhe against the mattress with pure fire in his eyes.

He’s getting off on this as much as I am, and it turns me on more than I could express in words.

His moans send a vibration along my cunt, creating another new sensation, and I can hardly even think coherently.

“Oh my, God, Theo,” I exhale, my voice strained and frail.“I’m so close.”

“You don’t need my permission. Remember?”

“Teddy,” I whimper.

“You go right ahead, darling. I’ll be right there with you.”

He only manages to get in one final, lingering sweep of his tongue before my entire body breaks out into a series of unrelenting shakes.

“That’s it,” he praises, jerking himself off as he watches me unravel against his bed. “Coming so sweetly like I knew you would.”

I try to work on calming my body down from its orgasmic high—try to work on quelling my labored breathing—but it’s no use. Watching his hand work his cock like that has me worked up all over again, and there’s only one thing I can think of to satiate my restless need. “I want you, Theo. I need more.”

“Yeah?”

“I need to feel you.Please.”

“Resorting to begging, eager little thing?”

“I’m not begging,” I snarl, reaching for his warm, stiff penis and dragging his tip between my wet folds. It makes him shudder—actually fucking shudder.

“Come here,” he growls, pulling me by the hips until my pussy is aligned right up against him. The muscles of his abs and arms strain as he reaches over to the bedside table and grabs a condom. “If you change your mind, you tell me, Nora. You understand?”

“My mind is set, I promise you.”

“Stubborn thing,” he croons.

He tears the wrapper of the condom open with his teeth and slips it over himself quickly. Then, he positions himself so perfectly at my opening, inching in a little way at my entrance. I brace myself for thethickness of him, biting down on my lip to stifle the pleasurable pain I’m sure is to come…

A set of banging against the front door makes us both jump, interrupting what we were about to do in cruel,crueltiming.

“The fuck,” Theo growls, his body tensing in full alert. Another set of thundering knocks echoes through the flat, and there’s irritation written all over his face as he jumps off the bed.

“Who is it?” I whisper, scrambling under his sheets.

“No clue. Stay up here, alright?”

“Okay.”

I watch Theo slip on his underwear and a shirt before heading down the stairs.

Then, I listen as he opens the door and lets out a long, annoyed sigh. “What in the actual hell, Evie?”
