He was right.
I should absolutely go inside.
But that didn’t stop the way need rushed and churned and begged to be sated. The way I wanted to grip onto him and demand that he put me out of the misery he’d spun me into.
Instead, I nodded and turned for the door, retrieving my keycard from my purse again and pressing it to the reader.
It buzzed and gave, and I pushed open the door.
Hesitation brimming through me, I paused to peer back at him. “Thank you for the ride,” I whispered.
Arrogance twisted across his brutal, beautiful face, though there was something pained scored beneath. “Anytime, Pipes.”
I pushed the rest of the way through the door, and I quietly latched it before I made a beeline for the stairs, hustling up them like my life depended on it.
Finn would be sleeping with Nelly in her room downstairs, and I crossed the small loft and hurried into my room and shut the door behind me.
I felt as if I were being burned alive.
The winter no match for the fire that Theo had lit.
I tossed my purse to my bed and fumbled out of my jacket. I ditched my boots then peeled my sweater dress over my head.
I flopped backward onto the mattress, exhaling a cry of aggravation as my feet planted on the bed and my hips arched up from the hopeless urgency that Theo had elicited.
My trembling hand glided down my stomach and between my legs to where my panties were completely soaked.
I bit back a moan as I brushed my fingertips over my center, desperate to release the calamity he’d created.
My phone buzzed in my purse, and my eyes squeezed closed in a beat of uncertainty before I smacked my hand out to grab the strap and pulled it toward me. I pulled my phone out and swiped into the screen, my heart hammering out of time since I already knew who the text would be from.
One-Star
You safe?
No. I wasn’t safe.
I was completely splintering apart.
Flustered, I lifted my phone and held it above me as I typed out a response.
Me
If you’re asking if I’m in my room, then yes.
One-Star
And what are you doing in your room?
A short rasp jerked out of me as I pressed my thighs together. There was no chance of containing my response.
Me
What do you think I’m doing?
His was instant.
One-Star
