“Come on.” Theo grabs my hand instinctively.
We run all the way back to the car like little kids. He laughs as he unlocks the car and opens the door for me.
“Your seats will get all wet,” I shout over the noise of the pattering.
“That’s not what you should be thinking about right now, Layla. “He grins, ushering me in.
I shake my head and plop inside as a shudder rolls down my body. He runs to the other side and takes the driving seat.
My wet hair stuck to my face. I look down at my drenched dress. It has become transparent and almost outlines the skin undergarments I am wearing underneath.
I gasp softly and fold my arms over my chest to hide myself. Theo laughs from beside me and opens the compartment to pull out some tissues.
“Thank Goddess.” I let out a breath as he handed them to me.
I wipe the front of my dress meaninglessly. It’s too wet to dry off so easily. What a stupid move.
“Shit. How do I?”
“Calm down, Layla. I won’t look.” He whispers, making me pause.
Theo grabs the side of my head and makes me face him. He places the tissue over my cheek, wiping the water. At least my makeup is waterproof, so I don’t have to worry about looking like a ghost in front of him.
I smile awkwardly and look at his face. His fingers are careful and gentle on my skin as he cups my cheek. My smile slowly falters as I focus on his wet hair and lips.
“Why do you like me, Theo?” I blurt.
His hands pause. Our eyes meet. He never voiced it out before, and I never dared to bring up this either. We always stayed in our circles and never crossed the line into each other’s space.
“What’s there to not like about you, Layla?” He mumbles under his breath.
“I don’t have a wolf. Isn’t that enough to dislike me?” My eyes sting as I ask.
“Those who think like that are idiots, and they are missing out on you. I am not one of them. I can see you for what you are, Layla.” He drops the tissue and cups my other cheek.
“What am I?” I inhale a deep breath to push the tears down.
“To me, you are the bravest, smartest, kindest, and the most beautiful woman to ever exist. With or without a wolf, you will remain the same to me, Layla.” He smiles.
That’s who he is. He says things that soothe my heart and make me feel respected and seen.
I act on my impulse and lean in to kiss him. Theo’s hold over my cheeks tightens as he releases a surprised breath over my lips.
I pull back abruptly, wanting to make sure he wants it.
I don’t get to ask as he smashes his lips over mine. His soft lips kiss me slowly and gently. His thumbs draw imaginary circles on my cold cheeks.
I fist his collar and pull him closer. His kiss is not explosive and doesn’t take away my ability to think, but it feels comfortable and makes me feel important.
Again. Again, I am thinking about Alpha Alexander and comparing him to Theo.
Softly, I push him back so I can climb over his lap. Theo’s hands release my cheeks and hang in the air.
“Layla.” He breathes as I settle into his lap.
“Kiss me, Theo.” I tug him closer by his collar.
His eyes flash golden before he dives in and kisses me harder. The intense hunger buzzing in his lips makes me kiss him back just as hard.
Theo’s hands lower to my waist, sending his warmth into my cold body and making me moan in his mouth.
I fist his hair and tug softly. Theo groans, pulls away, and kisses the corner of my wet lips.
“I wanted to do this the first I saw you, Layla.” He whispers as our eyes meet.
I slide my hands to his cheeks. He smiles and snuggles into my neck. My back arcs, offering more of my skin to him. He kisses my neck, then sucks, then nibbles. His lips trail a path down my skin, leaving marks behind. I moan and whimper while keeping my fingers in his hair.
“You are unreal.” He murmurs into my skin before planting another open kiss below my ear.
Every compliment sends a wave of heat in my belly, but something feels missing. His plushy lips and his nibbling teeth make sure I don’t get hurt and feel strange on my skin.
I am used to those lips that take hard and leave me writhing. I crave teeth that scrap and dig and pull as if they want to bite deep into my skin and possess all of me. I need a body that demands me to submit so he can use me however he likes.
Damn. I have lost my mind.
I squeeze my eyes shut as Theo kisses his way to my exposed breast valley. Heat trickles down my skin as I caress his head and let him kiss me.
I don’t want him to stop. I want him to own me so I can get Alpha Alexander out of my messed-up head. Theo is the one for me, I know.
I focus on the pleasurable sensations of his lips and his small grunts that are pleasing to the ears.
Just when I think I am successful in focusing on the present, my phone starts ringing in my bag. Theo groans and kisses the side of my left boob before he pulls back.
I open my eyes and shoot him a nervous look.
“You should take the call. It can be Ayla,” he suggests, licking his bottom lip.
I nod as my eyes drop to his lips. I lean in and peck them quickly.
“You are trying to kill me tonight.” He teases playfully.
I grin and pull out my phone from my bag. The screen shows Daphne’s number. My heart skips a beat, and I pick it up instantly.
“You need to come back.” She speaks as soon as I pick up.
“What happened?” My heart sinks.
“Ayla has a fever, and she refuses to eat anything.” She reveals with a sigh.
“I am coming. Tell her I am coming.” I blurt as my heart aches in my chest.
I should have stayed behind and looked after my baby myself. I take in shaky breath. Daphne hangs up the call.
“Theo…”
“I am taking you back.” He speaks up, sounding equally worried.
