Chapter 29

"This a very good morning," Theo said, kissing Star hard, not seeming to mind the taste of his own cum in her mouth. "Now it's my turn to play. Can't have me getting the only present on your birthday, can we?" He rolled her onto her back.
Star wasn't going to complain a bit. He kissed her chin, her neck and the valley between her breasts before settling down to pay serious attention to her nipples, which were still sensitive from the night before. He rolled the tender nubs between his fingers, sucking and licking first one and then the other until Star was writhing against the crisp cotton sheets. Finally, when she'd begged him, he moved between her legs and slid his hands under her ass to lift her pussy to his mouth.
"Put your legs over my shoulders," he instructed then lowered his mouth to lick the seam of her labia and draw circles around her clit with his tongue. "And play with your own nipples."
She caught one of her breasts in each hand and pinched her nipples lightly as he licked and sucked her distended clit. She'd been close to coming just from going down on Theo - it wasn't going to take her long. Especially not after he slid two fingers into her slick channel, curving them upward to hit just the right spot. He thrust them slowly in and out as he suckled her clit and she rolled her nipples between her fingers. Just a few moments later, she felt her climax coil in her belly before she shattered, crying out his name as stars exploded behind her eyelids, and her body tingled from scalp to toes in waves of pleasure.
"Happy birthday, Ostara," he murmured when he'd moved back up to brace himself on his elbow above her.
She gazed up into his eyes and her heart melted with love. She'd never be able to walk away from him now.
Then he slid inside her still-twitching pussy and she forgot how to think. All she could do was feel as his thick cock stretched her and filled her so deeply she could swear he touched her heart.
His movements were slow and steady this time, now that they'd each had one orgasm to take the edge off. He kissed her deeply, his tongue stroking and caressing her lips and the inside of her mouth. Then he kissed her ear and the side of her throat.
"I marked you last night," he murmured, kissing the hickey she'd noticed on a late-night trip to the bathroom.
"I don't mind," she said on a sigh. "Do it again if you want."
"I want to mark you where a sweater won't hide it," he muttered. "Where everyone will see it and know that you're mine."
His words sent a rush of joy through her. He wanted to keep her after this weekend? After all she'd said and done to hurt him? "Go ahead," she said, meaning it with all her heart. "Wherever you want."
He pulled out of her pussy and she almost wept at the loss. Just for a second though, because he knelt and ordered her to sit on his thighs, her back to his chest.
"Ooh, this is nice." The position, one she'd never done before, drove his cock deep in her cunt and left his hands free to take possession of her breasts.
Then Theo fastened his lips just an inch or so below her ear. Unless she wore a really high turtleneck or a scarf, a mark there was bound to show, especially since she was so pale. Star's pussy clenched at his possessiveness and she canted her head to give him better access.
His hips bucked, thrusting his cock up into her as he sucked on her throat and played with her breasts. The overload of stimulation had her whimpering with every breath, his name emerging in fractured gasps from her lips. She wrapped one hand over her head to clasp his neck, and the other held on to the heavy pine headboard for support.
Finally Theo pulled away from her neck to suck in a deep breath. His spine arched as he drove up inside her one last time and held himself still while he erupted inside her. The warm, wet flood was enough to send her over again, and her head fell back against his shoulder while tremors racked her body, leaving her limp and gasping for breath.
"I've never seen anything more beautiful," Theo murmured as he eased her back down to the pillows and pulled the blankets back up over them both. "A man would be very lucky to wake up beside you every morning of his life."
Oh gods! Had he really said that? Was it remotely possible he'd fallen in love with her, as she had with him? She hugged him tightly as she searched her brain for something to say. She was the bloody writer, for the gods' sake. Where were her words when she needed them?
Before she found them, the phone beside the bed shrilled in her ear.
"Hello." Theo had picked up the phone. "Thanks, Jake. Can you have someone drop it off out here? Her ankle's bothering her and I don't want her to drive."
There was a pause then Theo said, "Great, see you in half an hour."
He hung up the phone, rolled over and gave Star a rueful smile. "So, on that note, I guess we'd better get showered and dressed, huh?"
She nodded. The moment had passed anyway. Accepting his hand, she climbed out of bed, carefully testing her ankle as she stood. "I could probably drive just fine, you know. Anyway, it's my left foot and my car's not even a stick shift."
"Yeah, but there's the whole long-ears-and-whiskers problem. The ankle was just an easy excuse to have them bring the car to us."
"Smart. But today's my birthday - it might be over."
"We'll test that theory after our company leaves," he promised. "Meanwhile, how's the foot?"
She felt him watching her walk on the way to the bathroom. "It's tender - I won't be dancing for a few days, but I can manage a shower on my own." She needed a few minutes alone, to collect her thoughts and catalog her emotions.
Theo seemed to understand. He leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Fine. I'll go start some coffee and scrounge up some breakfast." Whistling a tune, he left her and headed out to the great room.
