Chapter 9

* * * *

By the time Theo was done with me, I was completely wrung out. I could feel the slight stings from where he’d left love bites all over my back, shoulders, and neck and my ass felt well and truly taken.

I was enjoying the afterglow when I remembered all the sounds I’d made. “Was I too…” God, Michael hatedit when I did that! “…too noisy?”

“Never, Wills!”

I smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. I’d have better control the next time.

He dropped a kiss on the back of my neck and started to get up.

I rolled over and reached for him. “Don’t go!”

“I’ll be right back.”

I must have nodded off for a second, because the next thing I knew he was wiping me down with a damp washcloth. “Feels nice,” I murmured. “Set the alarm for 6, will you? And come to bed. I’ve got to get some sleep.”

I froze. I’d never invited myself to stay overnight with anyone. Why had I done that now? How was Theo going to react to such a blatant assumption on my part that I was welcome?
