"But Theo –"

"There's no need. I can clean up later." He replies and stubbornly refuses to let me turn around.

I give in and he hugs me close with a satisfied smile. We get back on Rio and this time I'm much calmer around the stunning horse. I spend our ride looking around at the vast land and brushing my fingers through his mane before we reach the stables. Theo helps me off and I follow him into the stables to watch him get Rio settled back in.

"Done, let's go." He takes my hand and we start making our way to the front.

But just as we've rounded the corner we see Noah rush out of the house and towards the gates with his wallet in hand. Theo curses under his breath when his brother walks back moments later with bags of food.

"Noah! Didn't I tell you to stop ordering takeout?!"

"So, you don't want your usual?" He dangles the bag in the air tauntingly which makes me look at Theo. "Hey Charlie!"

"Hi Noah, enjoy!" I chuckle when Theo sighs and nods in defeat. "Oh yeah, your parents are away right?"

"Yeah, they'll be back in three days but dad's definitely going to find out that we've ordered takeout multiple times." He rolls his eyes playfully as he drapes an arm around my shoulders.

"I can cook you guys some extra food if you want?"

"Oh, I can cook sunshine but try convincing Noah to eat anything remotely healthy." He grins as we stop by my car. "I threatened him for the first week but found him eating at a restaurant the next. So...I may or may not have joined him."

"Ah so your resolve came crumbling down then." I smirk cheekily and he holds his hands out in a surrendering motion.

"What can I say? Food is one of my weaknesses."

"And what are the others?" I ask while highly aware that he's backed me up against my car.

"Hmm..." He trails off as his arms rest on either side of my body. He steps closer until our lips are just a breath away and my heart starts to race in anticipation. "Your gorgeous eyes that take my breath away...your sweet smile that can bring me to my knees...your touch that drives me crazy –"

"Theo..." I shake my head as a fierce blush heats my cheeks.

He leans in and pulls me against him by my waist. I release a shaky breath when the need to kiss him becomes overwhelming. "I could go on forever darlin."

Unable to help myself I press my lips to his. He groans huskily before tangling his fingers in my hair. I hesitantly bite down on his bottom lip before soothing the sting. His reaction is instant as he hoists me up. My back hits my car door as I wrap my legs around his waist.

He coaxes my lips to open before deepening the kiss hungrily. My nails dig into his shoulders as his kisses travel down the length of my neck but I don't think he minds. Short pants escape me and I moan his name softly which is quickly swallowed by his lips crashing down on mine again.

"Get some brother!" Noah all but hollers from the front door which has us jolting apart.

My feet hit the ground just as my eyes widen in realization. I groan in embarrassment and cover my face. "Oh my god!"

"Fuck off Noah!" Theo laughs loudly as he hugs me.

Noah jokingly boos at us before going back inside. I sigh as I rest my forehead against Theo's chest which is still shaking from his laughter. He pulls away and tilts my chin up before pecking me sweetly.

"And on that note I should get going." I smile and back away when he nods in understanding.

"Text me when you're home okay?"

"Will do. Bye Theo."

I get into the car and am about to close the door when he leans in and kisses me fiercely. A surprised whimper escapes me as I feel him put my seatbelt on. I shake my head at him when he pulls away with an innocent look.

"Thought you might like some help." He shrugs with a wink.

"How very generous of you." I can't help the smile that blooms across my lips.

I finally close the door before starting up the car. "Bye Theo."

"Bye sunshine." He grins just as I pass him on my way out of the gates.

"Irresistible, handsome devil." I mutter to myself with a smile as I drive on with him on my mind.
