Theo’s grin dropped, his nose scrunching up, and for a second there he almost looked…cute. “Now why’d you have to go and say something like that?”
I chuckled and rolled him to his back. Theo arched a brow.
“You know, I’m starting to think you like getting me on my back.”
I brushed a wayward piece of hair from his forehead and studied the high cheekbones under his stubble. “What if I told you it was more a case of likingyou—period.”
Theo parted his legs, and as I settled between his thighs, he reached for my face, tracing a finger over my lips. “Didn’t I say something like that back in Monaco?”
“You did. But I wasn’t?—”
“Ready to admit you were into me and my big?—”
I cut his words off with a hard kiss to those taunting lips, but if I thought I’d silenced him, I was dead wrong. I’d provoked him.
He wound his legs around mine, and with his hands on my chest pushed up until he tumbled us across the bed and he ended up kneeling over me.
“I was just going to say my bigcastle.”
I snorted and ran my hands up his bare thighs. “Liar.”
“Am not. I do have a big…castle.”
My eyes roved down his lean muscles, to the narrow strip of hair that led down to his phenomenal cock.
“You also have a big”—I winked up at him—“ego.”
“I’m glad you noticed.”
“Pretty hard not to.”
He planted his hands on my chest as he rubbed his “ego” against mine.
“So when we get back to civilization and this fucker is caught, what happens with us?”
“Us?”
Theo froze, and I couldn’t help my smile. I hadn’t been sure where he was at when it came to us. I didn’t want to push or presume anything—but as he stared down at me, waiting for my answer, I could see a flicker of uncertainty in that usually confident gaze.
“What?” he said, drawing his hands back, but I quickly put mine over them, keeping them against my chest.
“Nothing. I just…” I chuckled. “I wasn’t sure you thought there was anus.”
“Well, it sure felt like there was one tonight.”
“Right.”
“And we keep finding our way back here. So I don’t know.” Theo shrugged, but it was obvious now the nonchalance was for show. “Maybe this is something we should explore.”
I sat up, shifting him from my waist to my lap, and brushed my lips over his. “I think you might be right.”
Theo swallowed and wound his arms around my neck. “So what does that mean? How do we do that? King will never allow it.”
I ran my fingers up his back, and thrilled when he arched into my touch. “I don’t remember needing King’s permission for who I want to da—” I caught myself before saying something so high school. But not quite fast enough.
“Date? Aw, that’s sweet. You want todateme?”
I narrowed my eyes on the troublemaker.“I also want to kiss, strangle, and fuck you. But yes.” I nipped at his lower lip. “I want to date you, and I don’t want to have to hide it.”
