TWENTY-THREE

THEO

M oonlight fell through my broken blinds, filling the room with stripes of gold.

Crusoe and some chick had stumbled into the house well past midnight.

They cooked up something in the kitchen that smelled like burnt toast and then tromped down to the basement to hang out.

Lacey slept through all of it, and, like an obsessed fool, I lay awake watching her sleep and convincing myself she wasn't a mirage.

I'd been wanting her back in my life for so long, it didn't seem possible that it was actually happening.

Lacey moaned quietly then turned and stretched her arms up above her head. The streams of light made her tits glow white. As far as I was concerned it was the best damn invitation I'd ever gotten.

I leaned over her and kissed her nipple lightly.

She mewled in approval and arched her back so I could take in more of her.

I drew circles around one nipple with my tongue and lightly pinched the second one between my thumb and forefinger.

Her hand came down, and her fingers tangled in my long hair.

"Theo." My name floated out on a breathy whisper, and my cock hardened more at the sound of it. I lifted my mouth for a second.

"Say it again, baby. Say my name again."

"Theo," she whispered.

I groaned as my cock thickened more. I moved my mouth down her flat belly and kissed the mound of her pussy.

She lifted her arms above her head again and stretched languidly as I made my way down between her legs.

I snatched a pillow and pushed it under her ass to lift her pussy higher.

She dropped open her thighs and, once again, whispered my name.

She was probably the only woman on earth who could make me come just by saying my name.

"Roll on your side, baby. I want to taste all of you." My voice was hoarse with need. I badly wanted to be inside of her, but first, I wanted to explore everything I'd missed all these years.

Lacey rolled onto her side. I pushed my hand between her thighs and pulled her pussy toward me to make her ass jut out.

My thumb massaged her clit as my tongue swept along the wet lips of her pussy.

I opened my mouth wider as I devoured her.

She jutted her ass out more to feel the pressure of my mouth.

I impaled her with my finger, and she pushed against my hand wanting more.

I pushed in two more fingers. I lightly bit her ass.

She gasped, then pushed her ass out farther for more.

I nibbled the skin lightly and moved my tongue to the tight hole.

She sucked in a deep breath as my tongue penetrated her ass.

Lacey squeezed her thighs shut around my hand, and my fingers pushed deeper inside of her as she writhed against the pressure. "Oh, Theo!" she cried out as her body trembled with ecstasy. She whimpered and moaned in pleasure as I got up on my knees. I turned and lifted her to her knees.

"Yes, yes please," she pleaded as I moved behind her.

Her ass jutted higher as I took hold of her hips and plunged into her hot, wet pussy.

She cried out again and clutched the sheets in her fingers.

I held tightly to her hips as I pummeled her from behind, and she met each of my thrusts with her own.

The floor creaked beneath the bed, and the old walls creaked loudly as we slammed into each other in perfect unison.

"Fuck, Theo, yes!" she cried as I pushed into her again and again. A hot pink flush covered her body as she came again, and my cock reacted to all of it. I held her tightly over my erection as I came in long, shuddering waves.

I rested back down on the mattress, and Lacey turned and pressed her naked back and ass against me. I wrapped my arm around her, and she took hold of my hand to hold it against her naked breast. She giggled as I kissed the back of her neck.

"Hey, keep it down in there! Some of us are trying to fuck!" Crusoe yelled from his bedroom. A flurry of giggles followed.

"Well, that's embarrassing." Lacey said. "Was I really loud?"

"Nah, the walls are like rice paper. Besides, it turns me on when you're loud."

"Shit, I'm not going to be able to face Crusoe in the morning," she said.

Right then, the sound of slapping was followed with a "Harder, cowboy, spank me harder!"

"Never mind," she said. "It'll be fine. Who is that? Does Crusoe have a girlfriend?"

"Hmm, not sure this week. He has attention deficit when it comes to women."

Lacey wiggled and spun around in my arms. "Not you though?" She reached up and ran her fingers along my jaw.

"Nope, I've only ever been focused on one woman."

Lacey laughed. "Right. You've been celibate since I left."

"Didn't say that. I just said I've only ever been focused on one woman, and she broke my heart … twice, but I'm still just as nuts about her as ever."

"Oh, Theo, can we make this work? My life has been such a shitstorm I haven't really thought about a future."

"Do you think you can stand living in small, gossipy Trayton?

Those were your words, by the way. I still remember when you said them.

We were at the park, hanging out on that weird wooden fort the city council thought would be a big draw for kids but ended up just being a nighttime make out place for teens.

We were sitting there with our legs hanging off and?—"

"And your hand up my shirt," she said.

"My hand did seem to spend a lot of time up your shirt and that blue denim skirt. The one you wore with those cowboy boots. Fuck, I loved that skirt."

"Well, you're in luck cuz I still have it. Might be a little tighter now."

"You say that like it's a bad thing. And now you have to wear that skirt. We've got to drive up to the point for a make out session, and you've got to wear that skirt."

She laughed.

"You think I'm kidding?"

Her long lashes swept up, and a smile turned up her lips. "It's a date. Tonight?"

"Fuck yeah. I'm going to be thinking about that skirt all damn day.

" Moonlight was starting to be replaced by a grayish dawn.

"About the future—" I'd started the topic, and we'd left it hanging in the middle of the tight denim skirt, but I wanted to know.

I needed to know that she wasn't planning to just roll through my life again and leave me at the end feeling as broken as before.

"Let's take this one day at a time." They were words that seemed to circle the room before landing solidly in my chest.

"That doesn't sound promising," I said.

"Why?" She looked up at me again. "I mean we can work that future out together.

One day at a time. I love being back in Trayton.

It feels as if I never left, and my parents are getting older, so it's nice to be nearby them.

I wasn't talking about us or this relationship as one day at a time.

As far as I'm concerned, Theo, the years between me leaving and returning were lost years.

I wasted so much time chasing dreams, while all the time, my dreams were right back here.

" She kissed me. "With the boy I've always loved. "
