“Yeah, me too,” I confess quietly, knowing that I could easily do just that.

It’s just a shame I’m not going to.

His hips pick up speed as he chases his own release, and only a few minutes later, a low groan rumbles in the back of his throat before his cock jerks inside me.

Pulling back from my lips, he rests his brow against mine as he catches his breath. His dark green eyes stare down into mine, allowing me to see everything.

Lifting my hand, I run my fingertip along his bottom lip as he studies me back.

I have no idea what he can see staring back at him, and I’m terrified that it might be the truth about how quickly my feelings for him are changing.

His lips twitch like he might be about to say something when a buzzer rings through the silence around us.

“Shit,” he hisses, reaching for his phone that’s sitting on the bedside table. “Fuck. I’m sorry, babe. I need to go and let them in.”

“Who is it?”

He pushes up and swings his legs over the edge of the bed before looking back at me, mischief twinkling in his eyes.

“A surprise. It’ll be waiting when you’re ready.”

Padding over to the dresser, he pulls on a pair of sweats—sans underwear—making me hope that the people he’s about to let in are guys and not women who’re going to be immediately distracted by his monster cock.

With one last look over his shoulder, he drags a shirt over his head and disappears from the room, pulling the door closed behind him.

“Shit,” I hiss the second I’m confident he can’t hear me and roll onto my back.

My stomach knots painfully.

Did I make the wrong decision with all this?

My head says no. But my goddamn heart is on another fucking page entirely, and it’s already shattering long before it needs to.

Despite being curious about what kind of surprise he’s organised for me, I take my time getting out of bed and enjoying one more shower.

When I finally emerge, dressed in one of Theo’s hoodies, my eyes almost pop out of my head as I stand in the middle of one of my worst nightmares come to life.

“What the hell is this?” I ask, looking at the whole set-up.

The smile that was splitting Theo’s face falters a little at my reaction.

“It… um…” he says, rubbing the back of his neck as he looks at the two women who are standing in his living room for support. “It’s for you. To relax for tonight.”

A sad laugh falls from my lips. This could have been the exact sign I needed that I’m about to do the right thing.

“And to think, I thought you knew me.”
