I do.I’m rooted to the floor, barely breathing.
Then he starts to undress.
And I forget how to blink.
Theo yanks his shirt over his head, the fabric tearing at the seam from the sheer force of it.
His muscles ripple beneath tattoos and scars, his chest rising and falling as if he’s holding back something primal.
My mouth goes dry.My knees go weak.
He undoes his belt slowly, purposefully, and slides his pants down.
When he steps out of them, he’s already fully hard, thick, and heavy in his hand as he strokes himself.
And I can’t look away.
“Please,” I whisper, voice trembling.
I lick my lips because they feel too dry.
Because he looks too good.
His eyes blaze.
“Get back on the bed, Angel.Open your legs for me.”
I obey, climbing onto the bed like I’m dreaming, like I’m walking into fire and begging to burn.
The sheets are cool under my back, but everything else is heat.I ignore the way my belly rolls over the top of my panties and I part my thighs, just like he told me to.
My heart is pounding in my chest as I expose myself fully.
“Christ, you’re so sexy,” he groans, his hand working himself slow, eyes fixed on the way I’m laid out just for him.
“Look at you.Already wet for me, aren’t you, Angel?So fucking perfect.”
I arch my back slightly, my body already aching for him, already wanting more.
“I’ve never—” I start, then stop myself.
It’s too much to admit how few men have made me feel like this.
Like I’m treasure.
Like I’m powerful and precious and obscene all at once.
“You don’t need to say anything,” he murmurs, climbing onto the bed, kneeling between my thighs.“I’ve got you now, Angel.And I’m gonna take my time with you.Gonna make you feel so good.Show you just how badly I want you.”
He’s between my legs now, eyes locked on mine like I’m the only thing that exists in the whole damn world.
“Touch me,” I whisper.
“Oh, I plan to,” he rumbles, voice like thunder right before the storm breaks.
He lowers himself, his broad, battle-scarred body caging mine without making me feel trapped.
I’ve never been more exposed.Never felt so seen.
