Page 91 of What Comes After

And eventually, I became such a mess of whimpers and panting, I had to tear my mouth from his.

“Are you going to come?” he asked me.

One of my hands came up to his shoulder, and my nails dug in. “Teddy,” I called out a warning.

He didn’t relent.

A moment later, my lips parted and my breath caught in my throat as I felt the familiar onslaught of my orgasm starting to tear through me.

I let out a deep moan of pleasure, Theo’s mouth coming to kiss the skin on my neck as he worked me through it.

My pulse pounded, wave after wave of pleasure crashing into me.

Theo saw me through to the end, and for a few seconds afterward, we merely stayed like that with our bodies pressed tight together.

He gave me time to come down from the high, and once I did, he said, “Come on. We need to get home, so I can get you out of these clothes.”

“You still want more?” I asked.

Theo grinned at me. “Baby, brace yourself, because I’ll never have enough of you.”

I didn’t need to prepare myself, because I felt the same about him.

I smiled back at him and begged, “Take me home, Theo.”

He didn’t delay.

“Is this a good birthday present?”

My hand was being held in Theo’s grasp, and when I looked up at him, I couldn’t help myself from feeling such immense gratitude.

Weeks had passed.

I’d had whole entire weeks of being Theo’s girlfriend, and they were arguably the best weeks of my whole life.

Theo begged me not to schedule myself to work today, because he wanted to spend my birthday with me. We woke up together in his bed this morning, and if I was being honest, he could have given me nothing else but that, and it would have been the best present in the world.

As I was quickly learning when it came to stuff like this, when it came to me, Theo wasn’t one to just do the bare minimum.

My birthday was no exception.

“This isn’t a good present, Theo. It’s the best present. I haven’t been here since we came together with our parents when we were twelve. I’ve always wanted to come back,” I told him.

“I wanted to bring you sooner, back when I took you to the dinner theater, but I was worried you might not be able to enjoy it completely, so I decided then that I’d bring you for your birthday,” he replied.

“I’m so glad, because I really enjoyed going to dinner with you that night,” I replied. “And I definitely wouldn’t have been able to do everything here that I am now if you had brought me then.”

“Where to next?” he asked.

I grinned and pointed at what I wanted. “That one.”

His brows shot up. “Again?”

“I think it’s my favorite.”

“Then we’re doing it as many times as you want,” Theo said.
