Theo chuckles. “Just like now. But maybe not as effortlessly cool. Not like cool, but more like Ice Man. Back then, you could see the struggle within him. It’s why I said he has demons. Guess you saw them firsthand last night.”
I’ve seen them a couple of times.
He’d gone into a similar rage with Gareth and he’s dead now. That’s a secret I’ll take to my grave.
“So yesterday, while waiting for our Uber,” Theo says, body tensing, “Kaitlyn told me some stuff.”
“Oh yeah?”
“She said she already told you.” He sets his drink down on the bedside table and rubs at his temple. “Shit’s fucked up, babe.”
I barely refrain from recoiling at his pet name for me. At one time, I’d used his attraction toward me and even encouraged it because I thought it could help me. Now I wonder how I can backtrack. I think a hard conversation is in our near future. Rather than dealing with it now, I nod sadly.
“Horrible,” I agree. “Vivienne did the same with me, too.”
“I’m sorry. That’s…” He huffs in anger. “I don’t understand sick fucks like that.”
“I don’t either.”
“She also said…”
“What?” I ask, voice small. I know. I don’t know that I want to hear it again, though.
“Gareth. He, uh, fuck.” He buries his face in his hands. “What kind of perverted freak does that? I loved him, babe. I looked up to him. Now his death is tainted. I’m fucking glad he’s dead because if he wasn’t, I might’ve put a bullet hole in his dick before putting a matching one in his forehead.”
“She’s safe now,” I assure him, gently touching his arm. “All we can do now is support her going forward. She’s counting on us to keep her safe.”
“I know. I’m trying. I just get so pissed, you know?”
I do know. It’s horrible. My trauma from Vivienne isn’t as fresh as Kaitlyn’s, but it hurts nonetheless. I’ve been psyching myself up to read more of that awful woman’s journal, but I’m afraid. The little bit I read before was painful.
Think of something else.
Don’t think of her.
My mind is happy to oblige.
“Wake up, love,” a voice murmurs against the shell of my ear. “You’ve been humping my leg for the past thirty minutes in your sleep. I can’t ignore it anymore. Feel how hard you make me.”
Caius guides my hand to his cock. It’s hard as he said and the slit on the crown is slick with pre-cum. My insides are raw and sore. I don’t know if I can take him again.
“I’ll suck you off,” I say sleepily. “You can teach me how.”
He groans as if this idea is enticing. “Another day. Believe me, I’m going to hold you to it. Right now, I need inside of you. How else will I mark you as mine?”
My skin prickles and my core throbs with desire. “I’m sore.”
“I’ll get it nice and wet first, okay?”
“Mmm. Okay.”
I can’t see his face in the dark room, but I feel his lips as they kiss down my chest to my stomach. He lingers there, teasing my bellybutton with his tongue and then he goes to the place I really want him. No longer shy with this man, I crudely part my thighs, giving him all the access he needs.
His mouth is wickedly skilled. He doesn’t need to see in order to pleasure me. It’s as if he can do it on instinct. His breath is hot on my sore, tender lips, making me tremble. I groan when his tongue starts lapping all the sensitive skin there.
“Oooh,” I whimper. “That’s nice.”
He chuckles. “I’m going to make you beg for my cock. I’ll get you so worked up you won’t care if it hurts. You’re going to want my dick inside you.”
His words are a turn-on, but it’s the quick flicks of his tongue followed by the harsh sucking on my clit that has me losing it.
As my body ignites with fiery need, I know he’s right. The soreness doesn’t feel like a factor right now. All I want is to come.
“…didn’t use to always be that way.” Theo shakes my shoulder, rousing me. “Finish drinking your coffee. You’re falling asleep. My story isn’t that boring, babe.”
Warmth floods my cheeks. I did drift off but not to sleep. I’d been thinking about last night.
“Sorry,” I say with a fake yawn. “Last night was rough.”
It was at the event, but then it was rough because Caius made it his mission to wreck my body. After he licked me to oblivion, he was right. I begged for him. He didn’t disappoint and easily slid into my primed body. The kisses he gave me tasted like sex and desperation. I loved every second of it.
“You’re drifting again.” Theo shoots me an annoyed look. “Finish drinking. You stopped. You need your caffeine.”
