Besieged (27 page)

“God, you make out as though we’re slumming it. You do realise we live in one of the most expensive areas of London.”

“Whatever. It’s not Belgravia.” Molly lives in a state of denial about our accommodation, what with her estranged father paying for most of it.

“No, but Theo’s house doesn’t have a park outside. Greenery is like gold around here you know.” I grin.

“Oh no. No greenery.” She feigns mock horror. “We shall just have to make do with an enormous house and a pool.” I laugh.

“Yeah yeah. It’s not mine remember. Give him grief. Anyway, Hugo’s apartment is just as nice.”

“Yeah, no pool though. He sucks. Although he did lend me one of his cars the other day.” She smiles wryly. "So, how is it going living with Millionaire arsehole anyway?" She asks casually. I laugh at her term.

"Really good actually, I really like him, which was unexpected."

"Okay, and has he stuck to his abstinence?" She raises a questioning eyebrow at me.

I sigh. "Sadly, yes. It's killing me."

"So why not put the man out of his misery?"

"I've tried. He says he needs to prove this to me, prove what I mean to him." I roll my eyes.

"That's kind of cute." She tries to hide her smile.

"Fuck cute, right now I am so horny I just want horrible, dirty Theo back."

Molly laughs. "Well, he must be feeling it to. You're Lilly Parker remember, the girl who changed
the
Theodore Ellis. Don't tell me you don't have the power of seduction."

"I could try, although I suppose it defeats the object somewhat." I sigh.

"Well, you're going to stay with him regardless right?" She fixes her blue eyes on me.

"Yes, of course."

"Well then, no point in causing each other more pain." She shrugs.

I laugh at her. "True. Seduction it is."

I begrudgingly invite both Molly and George to the barbeque tomorrow. If I have to go through with this then I at least want back up for what feels like a date with the firing squad.

By the time we leave the sun is starting to set.

Chapter 17 – Theo

The front door bell rings while I’m on the phone to Hugo.

"Hold on, there's someone at the door." I descend the stairs and into the hallway.

"No worries mate. I’ll see you tomorrow anyway. What time?" I swing the front door open and Lilly smiles brightly at me. I frown at her.

"I'll text you. I've got to go."

"Alright mate, laters, bye." He hangs up.

I step back and open the door letting Lilly in.

She studies my face. "Something wrong?" She asks.

"Lilly, its dark and you've just walked home alone. I told you to call me." Her expression softens and she smiles.

"It's barely dark, and I think we both know I can take care of myself." She steps toward me wrapping her arms around my neck so that her entire body is stretched out and pressed against mine. I grab her perfect arse with both hands.

"Just call me next time, please."

She rolls her eyes. "Where did arsehole Theo go? I kind of miss him." She presses her lips to mine.

“Sorry to disappoint sugar.” I smile at her.

"I need a shower. Care to join me?" She dares.

My cock is already throbbing from her fairly innocent kiss. I shake my head. "Not a good idea sugar. I don't have as much control as you seem to think I do. Your wet, soapy little body is not going to help." I raise one eyebrow at her.

She shrugs and turns to walk away. "Okay, I’ll just be in the shower." She glances back tossing her hair back over her shoulder "...getting myself off." She winks as she walks away. Damn, she is so fucking sexy. Her hips swing as she saunters down the corridor. She undoes her dress and lets it fall to the floor, stepping out of it as she goes revealing her bare, braless back. She turns when she reaches the end of the corridor and leans against the bedroom door frame, showcasing her perfect tits. She's wearing a pair of black lace french knickers and her cowboy boots. Nothing else.  Ah fuck. I stride after her. She squeals running into the bedroom. She's almost to the bed when I snag her waist and flip her on her back on the bed.

"The only one who'll be 'getting you off' is me." I growl against her neck. She squirms under me.

I kiss her hard until she's gasping for breath. I move my lips to her throat and can feel her rapid pulse under my lips. I run my hand up her thigh to the lace edge of her knickers. My cock is so rigid it's painful. I reach down and undo my button and fly, just to release some pressure. Her breathing becomes panting as I run my fingers over her clit through the lace of her knickers. She pulls my face to hers and bites and sucks my bottom lip, breathing heavily against my mouth. She runs one hand up my back beneath my shirt. I graze her earlobe with my teeth before ripping her knickers with one swift tear.

I slip one finger inside her, she's so warm and tight. I massage her clit with my palm, she bucks beneath me trying to gain more friction, her hand flexes on my back, digging her nails in. I dip my head to her chest and pull one hardened nipple into my mouth, flicking my tongue over it. She moans and runs her fingers into my hair. She squirms as I continue to work her, pressing her breasts against my chest. Her moans cause a tremor to wrack through my body and for a moment I think I might actually come.

She reaches down and strokes my crotch before trying to remove my jeans.

I lift away from her slightly out of reach.

"Please Theo." Her eyes are so pleading. "Please fuck me." Jesus, I close my eyes trying to control myself.

I shake my head and fix her eyes with mine. I resume the rhythm inside her, rubbing my palm against her harder this time. Her eyes never leave mine as she comes apart crying out. I kiss her softly as she gasps for breath.

"That was..." She smiles widely, still panting. "…awesome." She reaches up and fists her fingers in my hair, pulling me down for another kiss.

Sunday morning brings with it more brilliant sunshine. I text Hugo and a few of the other guys to let them know we'll be having the barbeque this afternoon. Lilly insists on going and getting the food, as I still have a few things to sort out for Italy. It looks like we may have to leave on Tuesday, but it's not confirmed so I haven't told Lilly yet.

Hugo, Will, his wife Heather, yes that’s right Hugo’s younger brother is married, Henry, his wife Leanne and Johnny all turn up around Midday with Packs of beer in hand. Lilly said George and Molly aren't coming until one o clock. Everyone's hanging around the pool, sitting on sun loungers. The barbeque is on and the sound system is playing a jazz tune through the house and out through the folding doors that are now pulled completely back.

Lilly is nowhere to be seen. I go back inside the house to find her. I eventually find her in the bedroom on the phone. She has her back to me when I walk in.

"You get your arse over here right now Molly! I don't give a shit when George is done, he can meet you here." She pauses. "I'll come get you, I'll pay for a taxi, just please Mole." She pauses again, listening. "Fine, half an hour, but be warned I’ll probably be ratted by the time you get here." She laughs and then hangs up. She turns around looking surprised to see me.

"Jesus Theo, you scared the shit out of me!" She presses her hand to her chest.

"Sorry. Everything ok?"

"Yeah, I'll be out in a bit. Can you make an excuse for me." A small frown line appears between her eyebrows.

"What's wrong Lilly?" I place one hand against her cheek and stroke my thumb across her face.

"It's just, well..." She takes a deep breath. "I'm worried I’m going to be like some sort of zoo attraction, you know, the girl that conquered Theodore Ellis." She rolls her eyes. "I don't mean literally, but you know..." She looks up at me with worried eyes.

"Well you know Hugo already, and he definitely likes you. The others will love you, and they will see exactly why you're the only girl I want to be with. They don't bite Lilly I promise. Come on, you can beat the shit out of fully grown men, but you can't meet a few of my friends?" I hold out my hand to her and she takes it. "Have I told you how beautiful you look today?"

She smiles. "You tell me every day Theo, so yes, but thank you." She kisses my neck softly before following me upstairs.

She heads straight to the kitchen and grabs the jug of Pimms from the fridge. "Come on, I’ll introduce you." I stand behind her and wrap my arms around her waist as she pours out a glass.

"Okay, let’s do this." She takes a big gulp of her drink before slipping her hand in mine.

We walk out onto the patio where everyone is dotted around on various sun loungers. I notice the girls look up at Lilly with fond smiles.

Hugo strolls over from his position of manning the barbeque, he’swearing only flip flops and a pair of cargo shorts. "Hey Lilly, how are you babe?" He opens his arms pulling her against his bare chest into a bear like hug.

"Okay, enough man handling my girl, get your own. Prick." I shove him lightly.

She laughs. "I'm good thanks Hugo. How are you?"

"I'm great, but I’ll be even better when that hot young thing Molly gets here." He winks at her.

Lilly sighs. "She'll be here in about half an hour. Behave Hugo." She eyes him sternly.

He feigns a wounded expression. "I am nothing but a gentleman I’ll have you know." He laughs wickedly. "Unlike your little man beating self." He laughs harder.

"Yeah, yeah." She turns away from Hugo. I turn back around to catch him looking at her arse. I flick him the bird and he smiles like a naughty little boy, caught red handed. I can't really blame him, she's wearing a pair of tiny denim shorts that leave little to the imagination.

I introduce her to everyone. Heather and Leanne of course gush over her, telling her how happy they are that I've finally found someone.

"Theo's never introduced a girl to any of his friends." I over hear Heather as I go and take a seat next to Will and Henry. I pull off my shirt, letting the warmth of the sun soak into my skin.

"So, this is the girl you've been talking about?" Will asks me.

"Yep, the very one." My eyes flit to her, sat on the end of Leanne's sun lounger. She has a plain white tank top on, the straps of her blue bikini are visible around her neck. She has enormous sunglasses on and her flaming hair is loose and wild. She looks like she just stepped off of a beach shoot.

She looks up and smiles brightly when she sees me watching her, I wink at her and turn back to Will.

"She seems nice." Henry adds. "Although, so not what I expected. I mean she's a solicitor!" He laughs.

"Yeah, well what can I say." I shrug. Will and Henry both laugh.

The doorbell goes again and I get up to answer it.

I lead Molly, George and T.J out onto the patio. Lilly leaps up when she sees them. George hugs her hard lifting her off her feet.

"Oh my god, I feel like I haven't seen you in forever." She squeals at him.

"Oh, babes." He waves a dismissive hand. "I'd sack you off for that in a heartbeat!" He gestures toward me, much to everyone’s amusement.

"Oh, guys this is Molly and George, my flat mates, and T.J, George’s friend?" She eyes him meaningfully. He leans forward and whispers something in her ear that makes her laugh.

"Friend." She confirms.

"You guys want drinks?" I ask them.

"I'll have Pimms please." Molly replies.

"Beer for us if you have it?" George adds.

I'm stood in the kitchen when two familiar arms wrap around my waist. Her scent engulfs me immediately. I turn around to see her smiling up at me.

"Shouldn't you be entertaining?"

"Nope, I should be right here perving at my seriously hot boyfriend." She runs her hand down my stomach to the waist band of my shorts. I can’t deny how good it feels to hear her say that, what with her ‘no labels’ policy. Yes, my penis is shrivelling as we speak.

I scoop her up and place her on the kitchen side, standing between her legs. I run my hands up her bare thighs.

"Is that right?" I smirk at her. She nods, biting her bottom lip.

I lean in and kiss her, softly at first, until she deepens the kiss. My cock is instantly stood to attention. I groan and pull her off the counter placing her back on her feet.

"You should go back out there." She pouts slightly, making me laugh.

"Fine, are you coming?"

"I, uh, I need a minute ok?" She frowns before flicking her eyes downward. She turns and leaves, giggling as she goes.

Later in the afternoon we set up the net across the pool for volleyball. Everyone's been drinking for a couple of hours now, so it's going to be a less than sober affair. Lilly and Molly dump their shorts and tanks on the sun loungers.

Hugo runs up and slaps Molly's arse, warranting a shriek and Hugo getting pushed in the pool.

I stare at Lilly as she walks across the patio in her bright blue bikini. I have to shift and adjust myself as my dick decides to make an unwanted appearance again. She smiles at me as she approaches before straddling me on the sun lounger.

"You coming to play?" She kisses me lightly.

"Um, yeah." I fumble.

"You okay?" She frowns.

"Yeah, just..." I bite my bottom lip trying to supress my ridiculous grin. I feel like the cat that got the cream. “Holy shit, you look amazing babe." I run my hands over the bare skin at her waist.

She rolls her eyes. "Pervert." She mumbles. I laugh.

I shake my head. "It's you." I whisper against her ear. "You drive me crazy."

"Good." She whispers against my ear before gently nibbling at my ear lobe. A low groan escapes my throat. She quickly hops up, smiling. "Come on." She holds out her hand to me. I groan and take it, why did I propose a sex ban. I must be certifiably insane.

We end up with Lilly, George, Will and I on one team, and Hugo, Molly and T.J on the other.

We play for about an hour, after a while we lost score and just ended up volleying the ball back and forth. Hugo eventually announced that he’d just pissed in the pool putting a swift end to that. I love him, but he is disgusting at times.
