I was supposed to be keeping my distance.

I was supposed to be clear and honest with Theo about what this arrangement was… but…

My core was burning, and I felt my body begin to rock slightly in an attempt to quell the steady build of heat between my thighs.

Theo glanced down at the telltale motion of my hips. Her eyes flared, and a knowing smirk curled on her perfect lips.

“You need to tell me, baby. I can’t touch you if you don’t ask me for it.”

“Theo…” I whined, flexing my fingers into the hard muscles just beneath the hem of her t-shirt. “I don’t… I don’t beg. Don’t make me beg,” I whispered, and she glanced up to meet my eyes just as my hips rolled again on their own accord.

“I’m not asking you to beg, Cassandra. But you need to tell me what you want. I’m not going to risk doing something to you that you don’t actually want. This has to be your choice.”

Her dark eyes turned devilish, and she leaned forward, skating her nose up the column of my throat before whispering in my ear.

“Because if it was up to me, princess… I would have fucked you a long time ago.”

I groaned and my body arched of its own accord as her hot breath caused my entire body to shiver with goosebumps.

My nipples hardened to tiny points beneath my bra, and suddenly, I didn’t care about whatever reasons I’d had to keep my distance from this infuriatingly sexy, dangerous, and addicting woman.

Fuck it.

I wanted her.

And I was Cassandra Walker.

If I wanted something, I took it.

Theodora would be no exception.

Idon’t know if she was aware she said it out loud, but Cassandra breathed out the softest ‘Fuck it,’ I’d ever heard.

Before I could register what was happening, she wrapped her hand around my nape and pulled me in, closing that last inch of distance between us for good.

My immediate reaction was to freeze as she pressed her soft lips against me.

My entire body exploded with adrenaline, but I stayed perfectly still, terrified that if I made any sudden movements, she would realize it was me she was kissing and take it all away.

But she didn’t.

Instead, she molded her lips to mine, and though she started off tentative, she quickly grew more confident.

She traced her tongue across the seam of my lips, and I nearly expired on the spot.

“Cass…” I choked slightly on her name, unable to wrap my mind around the fact that she was kissing me as she released the sexiest, neediest little groan.

Jesus Christ.

I felt dizzy.

I could barely process what was happening, but Cassandra seemed to already be fully committed to whatever this was.

She literally crawled into my lap and pressed me back onto the couch.

Unable to refuse this woman anything, I quickly complied, and she slid her lethal, perfect body over mine until she was straddling my hips.
