All Chapters of Suck Me Dry: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Theodore My heart skips a beat as I find him standing in front of the large set of windows. The blends are fully open for the first time, enabling me to see the city lights and the skyline. I stare in awe as I fight myself to tear my eyes from him, keeping my urge down to ogling him as he is standing directly by the glass, looking outside with his hands in his pockets. He looks like a king watching over his city, and I drive my hand through my hair as I try to hide my smile at that. “Are you having any connectivity issues?” I ask, throwing in one of the few words I know to get his attention on me.He sighs, turning around. “No. I just got a call from them. It looks like they are the ones having the problem.” “Sweet,” I answer automatically, cringing at it. “No, sorry, it’s…” I stutter, wanting to justify my stupid reaction. Just as my thoughts are crumbling to dust as my brain cells stumble over them in panic, I freeze as he chuckles.My eyes widen as I see him clearly smile, e

Theodore “I beg your pardon?” I blink as the doctor checks my results again. “It looks like it is something you have had since birth. Often, people with the same health condition don't find that until they have to undergo an operation in their old age, so it’s not something substantially problematic, but if not treated, and abused like in your case, it can become a problem.” The doctor crosses his hands over my file as he looks at me with a serious expression, and I lean back. “Oh.” Honestly, that was not my first thought when I heard ‘congenital heart defect’. But well…As I feel my heart suddenly hurting in my chest, I pinch my shirt, rubbing my fingers against my skin. “So, what does this mean?” “It means that I will tell your boss that you are not fit enough to be doing this job, and that you are risking serious consequences if you go on like this,” he explains calmly. I nod repeatedly, just until his words reach my brain, and it takes him a bit too long to register them pro

Theodore The soft voices coming from the TV invade my consciousness, and I open my eyes slowly, blinking repeatedly, but they are still too feeble for me to understand what they are saying.Did he turn the volume down?I push myself up with a groan, stretching my neck while I drive my hand through my hair. Looking around, I pout automatically as I don’t find Helades in. But I must really have watched the movie too many times for me to expect him to still be here when I wake up. Like he was watching you sleep.I shake my head with a giggle, laughing about my own stupidity. Suddenly, I feel full of energy, my bones not aching that much, as I seemed to have finally been able to get a bit of good sleep. Was it what he brought me for lunch? Before I can explore my thoughts further, thinking about how I was finally able to relax, I cringe. Oh, no.I bury my head into my hands with an exasperated groan. Did I really fall asleep while he was still here? My brain sends me blurry imag

Theodore My eyes widen, my heart singing as I observe him laughing loudly, his head thrown back as he holds his belly. I must be blushing as the sound of his laughter enters my system, playing with the strings of my muscles, making my nerves buzz pleasantly. What is this? I stare fascinated as I must have lost my mind. There have surely been a few times when I crushed on or fell for someone.But this… This is just madness. As he calms down from his laughing fit, I can’t help my smile to grow as well. “Am I wrong?” He shakes his head, his grin making my heart want to break out of my rib cage. It hammering against it is actually rather painful. “Completely wrong. But I haven't laughed that hard in ages. So it makes up for it.” Mirroring his mocking expression, I hope to hide the fact that I totally fell in love with his laughter, which just made me realize how impossibly lost I am for him already. Well, bad luck, I guess. “Feel free to do it again, boss.” He chuckles, mocki

Theodore “I need to shower,” I mumble, not really knowing if I am asleep or awake. Have I been dreaming all of this? Helades presses his lips against my back, and I hug my pillow tighter, an explosive sensation shuddering through me. While my skin covers itself in goosebumps, he chuckles, his baritone vibrating on my skin. “No, you don’t.” At this point, I really struggle to make out reality from my hazy imagination. And this time it’s not because I’m just the worst daydreamer in the world, but because the pleasure I have been experiencing is just too much for my poor, innocent brain. Also, I’m quite impressed but at the same time disappointed in myself as I had to get twenty-six years old to discover what a man can do with his fingers. And his tongue. “Ah,” a feeble mewl escapes my lips, and I clasp the fabric harder as if it would help me not to fly away. My smocking-hot hostage-taker laughs, his warm breath tickling my skin as I enjoy it with a sigh. I remember
