Snippet #2822647

Even with all his time spent in the restroom, purposely moving at a slow pace, Victor still hadn’t finished getting dressed by the time Theo stepped back out. In the back of Theo's mind, he couldn’t help but wonder if the rookie had done it on purpose, as a means to seduce his boss to bed. Not that Theo would be against it, but somehow that didn’t seem to fit with Vic’s character. It was more likely that the guy had just gotten distracted while changing. Still, Theo would never pass up the opportunity to tease, especially given the circumstances. ”What, can you really not get dressed on your own?” the smirk that followed only widened once Theo realized Victor was much too entranced by his bare torso to respond.

Victor’s gaze didn’t linger on the tattoo across Theo’s collarbone for as long as Theo would’ve expected, but instead drifted down to the carved stomach, cheeks morphing into ripe tomatoes once he realized he’d been caught staring. Somehow, Theo found the actions more endearing than anything, even as Vic slowly moved closer, implying that he’d rather have Theo stay topless. He may not have used those exact words, but that’s what Theo understood, and would happily oblige. He set aside the t-shirt he’d been planning to wear, arms slowly folding across his chest as he took in Victor’s stare. The playful grin that danced from one dimpled cheek to the other never left Theo’s face, even as he spoke.

”To be perfectly honest, I never wear a top to bed.” as he said this, his steps moved him closer to Victor, cautiously closing the distance between them until there was nothing more than a few inches of air keeping them apart. ”but you’re looking awfully flustered. I don’t suppose that’s from the heat of the liquor.” truthfully, had it been anyone else, Theo would probably already be in bed with them. There was something about Victor in particular that made him want to take things a bit slower. Perhaps it was the feeling of inexperience that the man gave off, at least when it came to situations like these. It could also have something to do with the fact that Theo not only wanted Vic in his bed, but actually enjoyed his company outside of it. This in itself was an achievement for Vic that very few managed to do. Often times Theo either enjoyed someone’s company, as was the case with Jake, Salvi and Beah, or wanted the sex. Seldom if ever was it a combination of both. But here Vic was in his room, shirtless and still relatively tipsy, very obviously interested in Theo, yet the younger man didn’t feel the need to get Vic in between his sheets in order to enjoy the night.

It was a strange feeling, not knowing what to feel. This was a somewhat new territory for Theo. He always knew exactly what he wanted, and even though he initially thought the same with Vic, now he wasn’t so sure. Perhaps if he played his cards right, he could figure it out by the end of the night. Though there was one thing he was certain of; Victor was just as interested in him, and Theo planned to enjoy it to the fullest. As his arms unfolded, they snaked around Victor’s waist, inching their bodies closer. A couple of dark strands of hair brushed against Victor’s cheek as Theo closed the gap between their lips. Figuring out what he wanted from Victor was proving to be a bigger task than expected, but perhaps after tonight, things would become more clear. These thoughts fled to the back of Theo’s mind as he focused on the body now nestled between his arms. The warmth of Vic’s skin coupled with the alcohol made Theo’s cheeks rosier than before. Though the room felt cool, his body still felt hot as it pressed against Vic’s own. Unfortunately, there wasn’t anything else he could take off without being completely naked.

Their lips wrestled for as long as they could keep their breath, but Theo was the first to pull away. His hands slid down Vic’s back and around his waist, lingering there for a few seconds before falling to Theo’s side. ”My apologies, wouldn’t want you thinking I’m greedy.” As difficult as restrain may be, Theo was not a sex driven brute. Victor’s body was his own, and only could decide how much of it he was willing to share with Theo.
