Chapter FORTY-THREE

　　Theo’s pov

　　I was struggling, the bartender could see that, I could see that. It wasn’t easy being so strong in the midst of temptation. The temptation being that Aleia has proceeded to whisper dirty things in my eyes, she has become somewhat relentless in her pursuit.

　　I tried pretending like I wasn’t affected by her, but she called by bluff. I wanted all those things too but I told myself not to rush things. The first step was letting her admit how good things were between us, and getting her to agree to us dating for a while and see where things go. Rushing to bed now wasn’t in my plans, because I assumed that she would be more difficult to convince.

　　Now, staring into her very aroused eyes, I knew what her mission was. To get me into bed, she seems pretty determined to do so. I was fighting a lost battle.

　　I jumped when she pressed her hand to my crotch, she smirked at me knowing she has caught me in a lie. I was hard for her, when am I not?
