The last few days at Theo's house have actually been amazing much to my surprise. I had my reservations that we would be totally incompatible outside of sex, so it's been a shock to realise that aside from his obvious charms I genuinely enjoy his company, even fully clothed. He's trying really hard, always asking what I want to do when I know he'd usually spend his evenings working or with friends. Every day he asks relentless questions about me, from my favourite colour to my favourite food, the names of my childhood pets and everything in between. At first I found it exasperating, but he told me that he wanted to know every trivial detail about me. We're slowly becoming more natural and relaxed in each other’s company. I think this is helped by removing sex from the situation.
I have to admit though the lack of sex is starting to slowly affect me. The spare room went out the window after only one night. That moment when we've just gone to bed and I curl against his side and run my hand over his beautiful chiselled body...at that moment I would do anything to have him just take me. I've never wanted anyone so much. I don't know how much longer I can sleep next to him without throwing myself at him, but the whole reason he's doing this is to prove a point to me. If I show my own weakness now I’ll just be a hypocrite, unless I tempt him to the point where he physically cannot resist....
I finish work and step into the back of the rolls as has become a custom since living with Theo.
"Good afternoon Miss Parker." James greets me as I slide across the smooth leather seat.
"Hello James." I reply chirpily. I can't deny that since being with Theo I've been in a very good mood, despite my lack of uh…release.
I tried so hard to initially deny my need for Theo and later deny any sort of attraction other than sexual. It's almost a relief to just admit it...that I want to be with him. I like it. Who’d have thought?
Ten minutes later we pull up outside my flat. I need to stop and pick up a dress. Theo has a business dinner tonight and has asked me to join him, but I didn't bring anything to wear.
I hurry to my wardrobe and search through the garment bags, looking for my Oyster Donner Karen dress. It's perfect, classy and sophisticated. I spot it and hurry back out of the flat almost colliding into Molly as I do.
"Oh, sorry. Hi Moll's."
"Hey babes. How's it going over on the wealthy side?" She teases.
"Good actually. I think I actually like him."
She rolls her eyes at me. "How does it take you weeks to see what I could have told you that first day..." She shakes her head.
"Yeah yeah, babes I’ve got to go, but I’ll call you tonight. Love you." I shout as I head down the corridor.
"You too." She shouts after me.
I pin my hair up in a loose up do and apply natural make up before slipping on my dress. The material dances and shimmers under the bright lights of Theo’s bathroom. The strapless garment sits just above my knee, the material hangs in artfully placed drapes, emphasizing my hour glass shape. I slip on the matching peep toe heels and with one last look in the mirror I step out of the bathroom
Theo makes a low whistle from his place sat on the bed. "You look...wow." He shakes his head.
"Thanks. You don't look so bad yourself." He's wearing a simple black suit with light grey shirt and a black tie. It hugs him in all the right places hinting at that beautiful physique underneath. Images of his naked body burst unbidden into my mind and I find myself clamping my thighs together at the onslaught. I hear his quiet chuckle and glare at him.
"I'm glad it's not just me." He raises a suggestive eyebrow.
My eyes automatically survey his body and I note the subtle bulge at his fly. I look up and meet his amused gaze.
He stands and strolls towards me, placing a gentle hand against my neck. "I can't help it." He whispers against my neck "... you look seriously hot right now." His eyes flicker down my body and I can see the burning hunger in his gaze.
He traces one finger down my neck and along the line of my collar bone, his touch sets my skin ablaze. His sapphire gaze meets mine, the longer he stares at me the more intense the atmosphere becomes as though the air is charged with static electricity crackling between our bodies.
"Lilly." He whispers as his lips brush mine. I can't help the low moan that escapes me at the sheer pleasure of his touch. I throw my arms around his neck, pressing my body against his and deepening the kiss. He kisses me back, tracing my lower lip with the tip of his tongue. One arm wrapped around my waist pulling me to him, while the other holds my neck still.
