Page 57 of Unbroken Promises

As if waiting for his permission, my body shatters into a million tiny pieces at his command. As I slowly fall back to earth, his movements increase in intensity, becoming more jerky as he increases his pace, and with a shout, Theo stiffens, exploding inside of me. I feel him throb as he pumps into me, his cum filling me with pulse after pulse until we are both sated and empty. Collapsing next to me on the bed, he reaches over, pulling me on top of his chest, and my eyes close against their will as we both fall into an exhausted sleep.

ChapterFifty-Six

Danica

Icould swear I was floating, flying on the wind, but that can’t be possible because now I am lying on clouds, so soft and fluffy, that I can’t help but snuggle further into their comforting embrace. As my mind slips back into the oblivion of a peaceful sleep, I almost thought I caught a whiff once more of that spicy aroma and felt something soft brush my hair. But it is probably all just a part of these sweet dreams. And then I feel something grab me.

“Eeeekkkkkk!” An ear-splitting shriek pierces the room as instinct takes over. I may not be fully awake, but it takes me less than a minute to have my attacker off me and crashing to the floor.

“Jesus, woman! Che cazzo! It’s just me!”

Wild eyes frantically search the room, taking in the space around me. Wild curls flying every which way, I quickly throw aside the blanket which has become tangled around my waist as I fight to catch my breath.

“Theo?”His name is breathless on my lips as I take in the sight before me.

Theo is sprawled out on the floor, just off the edge of the bed, legs splayed out. Buck-ass naked, dick half-hard and pulsing, his chiseled abs are heaving almost as hard as mine as he fights to catch his own breath. Hair mussed, and eyes wild, as ifhe is looking for an intruder himself. The sight is so ridiculous that I can’t help the burst of laughter that escapes me.

“What the fuck was that for?” He glares indignantly at me and I can’t help the shit-eating grin on my face as I shrug, aiming for some semblance of nonchalance.

“I don’t know what you mean.”

“Woman!” The grin falls from my face as he comes to his feet, hands on his waist as he towers over me, and my jaw drops. Holy hell, he is beautiful. Really, there is no other way to describe him. The years have definitely been kind to Theo in the looks department. Chiseled abs, highlighted by the intricate weave of tattoos that have expanded since I last saw them,give way to a tapered waist, highlighting his ‘V,’ and the little happy trail that used to make me. . . well. . . happy. Thick, muscular thighs, and from this angle, I can just make out an ass I would kill to take a bite out of. Then, there is the matter of the large, hard dick now pulsing against his stomach.

“Eyes up here, la mia diavoletta.” I swallow thickly as I force my gaze upward, past Theo’s well-defined tattooed chest and arms, away from the piercing gleaming in the early morning sunlight, until I meet his gaze. I flush, my cheeks burning under his amused smirk. He caught me looking and he damn-well liked it. But then, I hate to admit it, so did I.

“Want to try again, and tell me what you just did there?” He crosses those strong arms that once held me so tight, and it takes great effort not to let my gaze linger there.

Forcing a calm I do not feel as I try to ignore my flaming cheeks, I give it my all as I try to glare at him. “Want to tell me what you were doing in the bed, grabbing me?Completely naked, I might add.”

Giving me his classic “Hoodie Guy” scowl that I used to know and love, he drawls, “You mean, why was I sleeping in my bed? After we had the hottest fucking sex of my life, twice?”

Oh shit. I didn’t think . . . I mean,clearly,I didn’t have a chance to think. I was sleeping so well, and then I just felt someone grabbing me. My body reacted on instinct before I even had a chance to process what was happening around me, too used to years of sleeping alone.

He continues, “I can’t help it if, during my sleep, you rolled into me and snuggled up like you were the little spoon, scooting your fine ass against my dick.” Raising an eyebrow at me, he grins and I want to smack the smug look right off his damn face. “You could catch a fly with your trap open like that, la mia diavoletta.”

Abruptly, my jaw snaps shut. I hadn’t even realized that I was gaping. “You!” I splutter, words failing me, and he winks, bending down and placing a quick kiss on my lips, effectively shutting me up. Before I can form the words to protest, he turns on his heel strutting into the bathroom, his chiseled ass a mouth-watering sight as my gaze trails after him. Blinking, I raise shaky fingers to my mouth. What the fuck just happened?

Theo is waiting for me in the kitchen when I finally drag my shell-shocked ass out of the shower forty minutes later. I pull up short when I see Muscles and Dimples sitting at the counter across from him, drinking coffee.

“Oh, um. Sorry, did I interrupt something?”

Looking up at me from across the room, Theo brightens, smiling widely at me. “There’s my girl. You’re not interrupting, il mio passerotto. Got your coffee right here.” He gestures for the seat next to him, and sure enough, I see a tumbler waiting for me. I look between the three men, hesitating for only a brief moment before deciding,fuck it, coffee waits for no man,and make my way over to my seat.

As I move to take a sip, Theo sets a plate of steaming hot food in front of me, before continuing, “So, what are your plans for the day?”

My brows furrow, unsure if he is speaking to me or the men sitting across from me.

“Danica?”

“Oh! Well,” I raise my wrist to glance at my watch before looking over to Theo. “Well, generally, I would be making my way to the office by now, but I’m not sure what the plans are with Jonathan. There’s a chance that he will be discharged today, and I promised I would bring him home and get him settled if the doctors felt he was well enough to be discharged.”

I chew on my lower lip, considering everything that needs to be done. “If I am getting him today, then I at least need to get back home to grab my work laptop so I can work remotely. There is a bunch of admin stuff that I can catch up on, and we have enough staff today that I don’t technically need to be on site.”

Theo frowns at me, before flicking his gaze over to his men across the way.Man, I really need to try and remember their names.“That’s not a problem. Darrion can run over to your place and grab anything that you need while Jayce takes you to the hospital. I already spoke with Finn this morning, and it does sound like yourfriendshould be discharged by early afternoon. But,” he stresses, “we are both in agreement that you shouldn’t be going anywhere by yourself right now, alright? If you need toleave for any reason, if you need to go anywhere other than my place or the hospital, Jayce will take you where you need to go. Promise me, Danica.”

Frowning at his words, I can’t help the slightly petulant tone as I respond, “What about you?”

He grins back at me, his arrogant response reminding me so much of when we first met all those years ago. “Miss me already, la mia diavoletta?”
