“Fine. I was just thinking that today was pretty good.”
He mock glowered. “Pretty. Good?”
My lips twitched as I shrugged.
“Oh, yes, with accolades like that, my ego is tumescent with arrogance,” he growled dryly.
Laughing, I grabbed grapes from the tray.
Theo huffed. “Is that it? That’s all you’re going to say.”
“What would you say?” I couldn’t stop smiling.
His eyes narrowed. “It was fucking glorious, and you know it was. My cock hasn’t stayed hard that long since I was thirteen. I deserve awards for what happened here today.”
I nearly choked on a grape I laughed so hard.
“You disagree?” Theo looked affronted.
I shook my head, trying to speak around my amusement. “Not at all. In fact, I’m impressed by your stamina.”
“Impressed by my stamina?”
“I enjoyed myself very much.”
“Sarah …”
At his warning tone, my grin softened. “I didn’t know sex could be like this. I … for the first time in my life, I feel … I feel truly awake.” As soon as the words were out of my mouth, I wanted to take them back. They were too much. And I didn’t want Theo to think that I thought what happened between us meant anything beyond two people giving into their insane attraction.
Theo’s expression grew alarmingly blank.
Damn it.
I opened my mouth to explain, but he beat me to it.
“Let’s take a bath. It’ll help soothe that pretty pussy of yours.”
“Oh.”
“Do you think tomorrow you’ll be able to take me again?” He took a swig from one of the two bottles of water he’d brought in. “If not, we can do other things.”
Pleased my words hadn’t chased him off, I shrugged as nonchalantly as possible. “You mean, like writing?”
“I mean like you suck me off while I eat you out,” he answered bluntly.
And just like that, I was ready for him again. Goodness, this couldn’t be normal. I blushed at my rampant horniness for the man.
Theo grinned. “Ah, there it is.”
“Thigmophilic,” I said suddenly.
His expression sharpened at my randomness. “A love for touch?”
I’d never met anyone who knew the same unusual words I did. It was fun being able to blurt them out randomly and have Theo understand. “Hmm. Apparently, almost all mammals are thigmophilic. I never really thought I was … I liked a cuddle from my grandpa and Jared, but … there was always a disconnect when anyone else tried to touch me. Now …” I felt my breathing grow a wee bit shallow at the thought of what he’d just proposed.
“Now?” he asked quietly.
I hesitated. Again, I didn’t want Theo to get the wrong idea.
