After I jogged across the street and up the stairs, I made use of the brass knocker Then I waited

It took Theo a while to answer the door I was about to ot a look at hi to say Instead, I od, you’re sexy”

His dark hair was damp from a recent shower and tousled into soft waves, and he earing the least likely outfit I ever could have iined for him He was barefoot and dressed in a pair of ancient Levi’s that were torn at the knees, paired with an oversized, black AC/DC T-shirt

I was about to aze There was stark vulnerability in his eyes, so I asked, as gently as I could, “Are you okay?”

He nodded and tried to pull up a neutral expression, but it didn’t really work When he stepped back to let me in, I hesitantly took a few steps into the foyer, and he closed the door behind ently wrapped“Talk toyou”

When he spoke, his voice was little h whisper “I’ve never had anyone over before” I assu to random sex partners and people he barely knew, like me “I didn’t knoould make me feel so…exposed”

I really wanted to give hi, but I didn’t know if that would be welcome “I can leave”

I started to turn toward the door, but he blurted, “No Please don’t go You’re already here, and I’ ridiculous” When I looked at hiather up soo upstairs I want you to fuck me, and then you need to leave Got it?”

“Anything you say One thing, though I caht froet off work Is that okay?”

“Yeah, of course Follow me” He headed for the stairs, and I fell into step behind him

The interior of the house wasn’t what I expected I’d assuner-perfect and sterile, to match the flawless exterior Instead, it was cozy and a bit haphazard There were lots of potted plants, and countless piles of books, and the mismatched furniture seemed to have been chosen for comfort rather than style

He pointed to a door and h there Help yourself to whatever you need”

I thanked hiray and white bathroos sitting out on the ot into the shower and borrowed his body wash It was nothing fancy, and that too was surprising I would have thought soh-end products

After I finished showering and dried off, I wrapped a plum-colored towel around my hips and fished around in my backpack It was always stocked with a few basic supplies, for times when I worked double shifts at the hospital and wanted to be able to freshen up I brushed my teeth and combed my hair, then went to join Theo

He was still dressed and sitting on the edge of his bed There was an elass in his hand and a half-ehtstand, on top of a pile of books I crossed the roolass from his hand and placed it beside the bottle He whispered, “Fuck,” and ran his palaze slid over my body

I picked hiht Then I cli myself on my knees and elbows He returned the kiss alainst mine As he pulled the towel off me and threw it on the floor, he nuzzled my ear and murmured, “I need you to fuck me so hard, Casey I want to ache for a week”

He slurred his words a little, so I sat up a bit and asked, “How ht?”

“Lots” He tried to pull me back down, and when that didn’t work he propped himself up on his elbows and kissed the side of my neck
