“I’ll tell you about it later. Are we really alone?” I ask.
He studies me for a moment, as if trying to read how I feel about the call with my brother. Whatever he sees reassures him. “Fucking amazing, isn’t it?” he asks.
As a result of the night’s action and my family nursing their wounds, King felt it was safe for everyone to go home tonight.
“Heaven.”
He lets go of his cock for a moment to fish something out of the jeans he’d tossed over the chair. I assume it’s a condom, but I’m surprised when he tosses eighty dollars onto the bed. “That’s yours.”
I gather the twenties. “Why?”
“Three bullets. Three cans.” He crawls onto the bed, reaches for my ankles, and tugs me down until I’m lying flat. His hands massage my thighs, nudging upwards before stopping just short of the hem of his T-shirt I borrowed.
“You saw that?”
Theo grins. “Vex has the outside of all our houses covered with security cameras. We all saw it.”
I open my mouth in mock offense. “You were spying on us?”
He laughs. “We were betting on you. You were a risky pick, but I saw the way you handled that knife. Figured it couldn’t be the only weapon you were used to using.”
“What if we’d been naked?”
“In the backyard?”
“Perhaps it’s a full moon. Perhaps I’m a witch.”
Theo climbs over me and settles between my thighs, his cock pressed right up against my clit, which takes about two seconds to get very hungry. “You gonna cast a spell on me, Sparrow?”
“Do I need to?”
His lips whisper over my skin. Along my cheek, by my ear, down my neck. I wriggle to give him more room.
“No,” he replies.
“Does it always feel this good, Theo? From what you remember.”
“Sex?”
I place my hands on either side of his head and force him to look at me. “No. This. You and me. How good it feels to be a little reckless. To fall madly.”
He places his lips on mine and kisses me. It’s messy. Sloppy even. He licks my tongue. My teeth. Then bites my lip. I can’t form a thought as I tumble into what he’s doing to me.
“Never.”
“I like that answer.”
“So, you’re falling madly?”
“I am. Are you?”
Theo looks away for a moment, then grins as he shakes his head. “Just thinking how happy my mom is going to be about all this. I mean, not that she knows it was fake, but that it’s going to last.”
“This doesn’t feel like the right time to be thinking about your mom.” I wiggle my hips to remind him that his cock is perfectly lined up against me.
He slides his hands beneath my butt and rolls his cock against my clit. It’s raw and reckless, and I don’t want him to stop, consequences be damned.
“Yes, Sparrow. I’m tumbling all the way into you.”
