Page 77 of Surviving Midnight

“Oh. Oh. Oh. Zak!” Theo chants as she angles her hips.

A hard squeeze.

A gush.

My name tears from her throat and as my girl comes all over me, I go right over the edge with her, fill her so full she’ll never get me out of her system.

“Present number one.” Theo grins as I collapse on the bed next to her.

I arch a brow and watch Blondie lean over and grab her glasses from the nightstand. “That was a gift?”

She giggles and shrugs. “The gift that keeps on giving.”

I bark out a laugh and slap her ass as she rolls to the edge of the bed. “Damn straight.” I watch her get out of bed and head to the bathroom, listen to my girl pee because she never closes the door, wash her hands then start brushing her teeth. “You got plans today, honey?”

Theo reappears a few minutes later in all her naked beauty as she throws her white-blonde hair into a messy bun. “Harlow and I are going to Sofie’s to help her decorate for the party tonight.”

I knew that and she knows it, but just like Theo, I like to make sure I keep tabs on her at all times and she never minds repeating plans back to me.

“Still picking up Tate and James on the way?”

“Yep. He is so excited. Sofie held off on putting up their tree just so he could help. He’s never celebrated Christmas before, and Tate said it’s all James has been talking about all week.”

I push up on an elbow and watch Blondie flit around the room getting dressed. “You still insist on driving yourself?”

She rolls her eyes at me before she disappears into the closet. “Yes, and I’ll be fine. I can’t pick up your special present if you drive me. It’ll spoil the surprise.”

“I don’t like it.” And I really fucking mean that. Theo hasn’t gone anywhere without me since I basically moved in with her and today is the first time I’ve even considered allowing it.

“I know.” She smiles as she walks out dressed exactly how I like her—oversized ugly Christmas sweater and all. “But I’ll be fine. I’m picking up your present then going straight to Harlow and Marbles’s place and he is coming with us to Spider’s before we all go to Prez’s house. I’ll be alone for a half hour, tops.”

“A lot can happen in a half hour, honey.”

Theo climbs onto the bed, plants a hard kiss on my lips and smiles. “Don’t I know it. All it took was a half hour with a mysterious stranger and I was head over heels in love.”

I can’t help but smile at that.

If you asked me four months ago if I believed in love at first sight, I’d have told you to fuck off, but now I can honestly say it’s a real thing. I knew Theo was mine the second I first saw her.

“You have plans today, big guy?” She grins with one more kiss then gets off the bed and starts looking for her phone.

She knows I do.

Sort of.

Theo knows Jackal is coming over before he picks up Summer and Jolie from the airport. She thinks it’s to shoot the shit and distract me from her solo trip but really my best friend is coming over for two solid reasons.

And to distract me from her solo trip.

“Yep.” I scratch my chest, reach over and slap her ass as she looks under the bed. “Got plans with a jackass before we meet you at Prez’s.”

“Sounds fun.” She lifts a brow and gives me theI know you’re up to somethinglook but just smiles, cups my cheeks and kisses me. “I love you.”

“I love you, honey. Be safe. Text me.”

One more kiss. “Of course. Don’t get into too much trouble with Jackal. This is our first Christmas together and I would like to spend it with you without having to stitch you up.”

Then she’s gone.
