Page 60 of Someday

Fred’s paws skitter across the hardwood floor as he tries to keep up and I laugh against Theo’s lips. It turns into a groan when he slides me down his body and I feel just how hard he is. I’ve imagined this a thousand times, but it still feels different than I remembered.

Maybe because Theo is all man now.

“Is this really happening?” he asks, kissing down my neck. “I can’t believe you’re here.”

He lifts his head up to look at me.

“And we don’t have to do anything you’re not ready for…” he adds.

“I want to be with you now more than I’ve ever wanted anything,” I whisper, my hands clutching either side of his face. “I never wanted to be anywhere but right here with you, Theo.”

His Adam’s apple bobs as he swallows, and he groans as his mouth crashes into mine. It’s a good thing we’re near his bed because when he lowers me onto it, my knees are so weak I don’t think I could’ve stayed upright for another second.

His hands rest on either side of my face as he hovers over, pulling back from our kiss with a look so intense it’s as if he’s memorizing me. His hand slides up my thigh, under my dress, and I help him by pulling the dress over my head and tossing it across the room.

He grins and then sobers when his eyes skate down my body. A curse hisses out of his mouth, and he leans down, reverently tonguing my nipple over my lacy bra.

“You’ve always been the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen, Sofie Copewell,” he says against my skin. “How is it possible you’re even more beautiful now?”

His lips and tongue trail down my stomach and back up to my breasts, as he undoes my bra and leans back, staring at me. My buds tighten as he watches, and his pupils dilate as he looks his fill and then meets my eyes.

“Are you sure about this, Firefly?” His fingers trace my jawline. “Because once I claim your body this time, I don’t think I can go backwards. There is no halfway with us. You either want this here with me forever, or you need to say so, and I will find that dress and cover this spectacular body back up and tuck you into that guest bed down the hall.”

He waits for me to say something and I open my mouth to speak, still in my lust haze, but he says something else before I can.

“I won’t abandon you either, I swear it. But I need to know that if we do this tonight, you’re here to stay.”

My eyes fill and I swallow hard past the lump in my throat, nodding slightly. My hands wind through his hair and I lean up, my forehead touching his.

“I’m here to stay, Theo. Please. I need you.”

He tugs his shirt over his head from the back and I drink in his expansive shoulders and chest. I fumble with the button on his jeans and he takes over, standing up to take them off, as I lie there in my lacy panties.

My eyes widen when I see him in his grey boxer briefs. He pulls them off and I gasp.

He smirks. “You sure you’re okay?”

“You’re all grown up,” I say, blushing as I laugh.

He reaches down and gives himself one long, lazy stroke. “Is that your way of saying I’ve changed?” He laughs.

“You were impressive then, but yeah, I didn’t expect you to be even bigger now.”

I cover my face with my hand and he lifts it away, smiling as he leans down to kiss me.

“We can take this as slow as you want. I’m not in any rush,” he says.

I pull his body flush against mine and we both gasp at the contact.

“I might be in a rush,” I tell him, my head falling back as I feel his heat jerk against my core, only making my craving for him build all the more. “I don’t want to go slow or wait or do anything to prolong you getting inside me now. I’ve been dreaming of this for the past eight years and I can’t wait another second.”

My hands slide down his back until I reach his backside and I squeeze his cheeks hard. He closes his eyes, trying to stay still.

“I’m on the pill,” I whisper. “And there’s only ever been you.”

His eyes fly open and for a second, he looks tormented, as he swallows hard.

“Sofie,” he chokes out.
