“Hmm… Me too,” he moans as I suck on his neck hard enough to leave a mark.
“It’s not a bad place to be, it seems,” I whisper in his ear.
Dragging my head back with his fingers twisted in my hair, he stares down at me, his eyes searching mine.
“It’s better than that, Em. It’s fucking everything.”
His lips find mine, everything and everyone around us ceases to exist as our tongues duel and our hips grind to the beat.
I lose all sense of time as he consumes me, driving me crazy with his burning touch, his kisses, and his downright filthy promises.
The songs all blur into each other as my body burns up, my need for him to return the favour from earlier too much to ignore.
Reaching up on my toes, I brush my lips against his ear. “I can’t wait any longer. I want your mouth on my pussy right fucking now.”
His grip on me tightens as a growl of need rumbles deep in his chest.
“Let yourselves out,” Theo booms over the music. Before I have a chance to say anything, he throws me over his shoulder, his palm coming down on my arse so hard a scream rips from my throat.
I look up just in time to catch Stella’s eye before we disappear. ‘Have fun,’ she mouths.

“What?” I ask nervously as Theo stares down at me the next morning with an intensity that makes my breath catch.
“Did you…” he hesitates, and that doesn’t make my heart rate lessen at all. “Did you really ask Cruz to get you the morning after pill?”
I gasp, ripping my eyes away from him. Shame twists at my insides, although I’m not sure why. I shouldn’t feel like that. I did the right thing. I was being sensible. Unlike him. Although, I guess if I really were being a sensible adult like I claim to be, then I shouldn’t have let him screw me bare when I knew there was a risk.
“Emmie,” he growls, his warm fingers gripping my chin. “Don’t try and hide from me.” His nose nudges mine. “You already know that I’ll find you eventually.”
“I know, I just…” I blow out a breath. “Yeah, I did ask Cruz to get me the morning after pill. You locked me down in the basement without my birth control. And then…”
“You seduced me,” he growls with a smirk pulling at his lips.
“I was probably overreacting, nothing probably would have happened, but…”
“It was the right thing to do.”
It’s stupid, but hearing those words from his lips slices me open. My eyes fill with tears and a lump the size of Australia clogs my throat.
Theo’s eyes widen in horror as I quite obviously fall apart right in front of him.
“Em, what’s wrong?”
“I-I d-don’t know,” I stutter as my bottom lip trembles.
A deep frown forms on his brow as he wraps his arm around me and pulls me tighter into his body.
“Do you think you made a mistake? Did you want… Do you want…”
“No. No, I don’t want kids. Well, not right now. In the future, maybe. I just…”
“Hey,” he says softly as my first tear finally falls. Dipping down, he captures it with his lips. “It’s okay, I’ve got you. Whatever it is, you can talk to me.”
I suck in a shaky breath and hold his worried eyes.
“Walking away from you that night was all I’d been able to think about. From the second I woke up and found myself locked up in the basement, my entire focus was getting away from you.
