Chased By The Bad Boy

Chapter 1: Good Morning, Sleepyhead

He looked me deep into my eyes and I felt like I was immediately transported into a trance. Those light gray eyes of his, they were always so mesmerizing, so bewitching, just the same as he was. 

From his dark black hair so perfectly settled on his face, to his striking eyes and luscious pink lips - Theo Donovan was decidedly good-looking in a way that only heartbreakers were. The best part was that he wasn’t here to break my heart, he was here to keep it safe with him. 

“Luna…” He whispered as I felt his warm breath on my neck. He was so close I could almost feel him, taste him, and everything else in between. 

I can’t believe this was happening, really, really happening. It had been years since Theo and I got together, and after everything that’s happened between him and I during high school, to be able to be with him like this, I think college was really treating us well. 

“Your skin is so smooth, so supple, and so soft…” His voice was so deep and so relaxing it was impossible to get myself to think straight, but at the same time, there was only one thought going around in my head - I wanted him. All of him. 

I let out a soft moan when I felt him suddenly suck on my neck out of nowhere. It’s like all the air in my lungs has been vacuumed out and I was breathless as I began to feel his lips, his whole mouth, on my neck. There was a slight sting to it until a pleasure that overcame everything. He was like a vampire softly sucking blood or more like a wolf that was marking what was his. 

I was his. 

And in a sense, I guess he did mark me. Although it was just a hickey that would last only for a few days, the meaning of it was much more important. 

I let out a soft laugh as my body felt slightly ticklish when his tongue grazed where he had just sucked. Theo looked back up at me and I am met with his eyes again, staring at me so intently as if he never wanted to see anyone else in the world. 

“You’re mine, Luna Valentine.” He said in such a possessive yet gentle tone I felt every part of me somewhat awaken with his words and my cheeks evidently blush. 

“I could never be anyone else’s. I will always be yours, Theo Donovan.” I didn’t take a second to reply as I already knew the answer. There couldn’t possibly be anything else other than this. Other than him and me. 

His eyes immediately glistened and the look of absolute happiness radiated from his smile. “Good.” 

And then before I could even react, his lips smash into mine in a feeling that takes over my body. Kissing him was like being stuck in the desert for days on end and it was his lips that gave you the first taste of water. It was like wanting something so badly and when you finally had it, you couldn’t believe it was there at all. 

But it was, and it was real. 

As my eyes were closed, I couldn’t help but focus on his taste and the feeling of his lips on mine. He was continuously taking my breath away and it was impossible to get enough of him. His touch, his warmth, his kiss, and his sweet taste… How in the world did I ever end up with this perfect guy? 

With his hands gently caressing my face and his body pressed against mine, I was taken to a whole other world and I never wanted to leave. I wanted to forever be held by him, for our lips to be in sync as they moved around like dancing in a slow rhythm, and our bodies exploring one another like there was a treasure waiting to be discovered.

“Valentine?” 

There is an echo inside my head that is calling out for me, but it immediately disappears as my heart almost leapt out of my chest when Theo’s tongue entered me. We had kissed a hundred times during our relationship, but it had never led to more as I was always a little too shy or there was always something disrupting us, so having his tongue inside me, making its way all around in every corner had me by a complete and utter surprise. 

But I wasn’t complaining. The only thing was that - I’ve never done this at all! 

Albeit my unsureness, I didn’t let this get the best of me, but instead let things flow. His tongue danced around with mine, tasting and kissing each other like two things in this world that were meant to be but only found their way with each other now. They wanted more, and more… and more. 

It was passionate, it was sweet, and it was messy. A good and hot kind of messy and we could almost light a fire between the intensity of our connection right now. 

Suddenly he pulled away and I was left to crave for him, the longing taking over my body almost instantly and I looked at him with an expression that seemed lost and betrayed. He looked at me with a smirk that was followed by a lick of his lips, those soft and juicy lips of his. 

“I want you.” He said, his voice raspy and pretty freaking sexy, if you ask me. 

“Take me. All of me. Please.” It almost felt as if I wasn’t the one that said the words as they came out of my lips so willingly and so fast, but deep down inside I knew it was true. It was exactly what I wanted for so long. Just with him.

His lips met mine once again and I savor his taste, every single bit of it. I feel his hands start to go down from my face to my neck and my heart is thumping extraordinarily loud especially when his hands reach my waist and my body almost melts in his touch. 

Our breaths were so ragged as our desire for one another continued to build up and then I began to think - was this really going to happen? Were we going to go… all the way?

I felt his warm hand reach just the edge of my underwear, literally less than an inch and when he moved just a tiny bit more, he would reach… it. 

He breaks our kiss and looks at me once again, his eyes piercing into mine with so much want, need, and yearning for no one but me, and nothing but this. 

He smiles and I catch a hint of mischief in them before he whispers into my ear in the most seductive way possible.

“I can finally have you… my-”

“Valentine!”

Wait, what? What??? Where am I???? Why am I still in my pajamas???

My eyes shot wide open as I turned around. My body immediately shifting to the side as I push myself away from the pillow my head was resting on and I moved to sit at the edge of the bed, quite obviously dazed as I processed what in the world just happened 

“Uh…” I said slowly and barely audible as I scanned the room and the moment I looked up I caught Theo standing shirtless beside the bathroom door. 

I could stare at this amazingly sculpted body, years of playing football and other sports have blessed him with such, but I was too out of it to fully appreciate the masterpiece in front of me.

“Good morning, sleepyhead.” He said to me in a teasing tone as he smirked while pointing out to something behind me. 

I furrowed my brows as I turned around and when my eyes landed on my white pillow with a relatively large wet stain, I realized what he was trying to show me - I was drooling in my sleep. 

“Looks like you were having quite an eventful dream.” He teased once again and I shifted my look to him as I grabbed the same pillow and threw it, hoping to get my revenge. 

But alas, Theo has and always will be the king of fast reflexes. He easily catches the pillow and lets out an amused laugh. 

“You should get ready unless you want to be late for your last day of summer class.” He informed me before stepping to the side and motioning for me to get inside the bathroom. 

I groaned in annoyance at the fact that he was right and the sad realization that it was all just a dream. I was having a wet dream about Theo, as embarrassing as that was to admit. 

“Hey.” He spoke up when I made it next to him. 

I turned around, rubbing my eyes and yawning, evidently unamused. I was not a morning person, especially when I was supposed to be comfortably sleeping in bed during summer. Funny how the tables have turned and suddenly Theo was up earlier than me.

“You look beautiful…” He smiled at me and took me by surprise when he planted a quick kiss on my forehead.

I couldn’t help but blush at his sweet gesture. Sure he could be such a bit of a tease sometimes, but he was adorable too. 

“Even when half of your face is filled with drool.” He added with a grin and I looked at him with a face of betrayal.

“Shut up!” I replied annoyed before slightly hitting him on the arm. “Now go away.” I said, pushing him further so I could get ready.

“Thirty minutes, babygirl!” He reminded me of the time I had left if I wanted to make it to class and I rolled my eyes at him. 

I closed the door and let out a small scoff and a blushed smile. Theo was silly, but he was my silly boyfriend and I would never change a thing about it.

-

The walk from my dorm to the campus was approximately ten minutes, give or take how fast you went and right now we were practically speed walking. I didn’t want to be late, but at the same time I didn’t want to be a sweaty buffoon when I arrived in class. 

It was unfortunate that I took up summer classes in the summer of my first year, but if I wanted to keep my units at a decent number during the actual school year also known as I didn’t want to drown in schoolwork, I needed to do it. Even if it meant sacrificing pretty much my whole vacation. 

The best thing about this was him. My boyfriend who always woke me up in the morning and was ready with my breakfast, who helped me study and stayed up with me for as long as he could even if he was just playing video games, who always walked me to my classes with the unbeatable energy of a child. 

“Theo.” I said with a smile as I turned to him, a few steps away from the stairs leading to the classrooms. “Thank you for sacrificing your summer vacation to stay with me. I now set you free from all these obligations.” I said chuckling.

“Who said I was doing this for free? You owe me one.” He looked at me with a raised brow and a suspicious smile. 

I knew it was too good to be true. 

“I’m just kidding, babe. I do have a surprise for you, though.” He finished and he gave me the warmest smile I thought I was going to melt from it, or was it just the freakishly giant hot sun?

“What?” I asked, my voice perked up from the excitement.

“Later, silly goose. Don’t want to distract you from your studies with it.” He patted my head and I slapped his hand away. 

I clicked my tongue unamused. “You already did by telling me there was a surprise! You’re evil.” I frowned at him and he laughed before leaning towards me. 

“Good thing you love it.” He teased before giving a quick kiss on the cheek and began to walk away.

“Hey! Not fair!” I shouted out to him, my arms crossed on my chest. 

“All’s fair in love and war! See you later, gator!” Theo waved goodbye as he chuckled amusedly and if he wasn’t so darn adorable, I would be much more annoyed.

“It's alligator, you- ugh, nevermind.” I said defeatedly before rushing to my classroom. 

The struggle of keeping myself focused was excruciatingly real, especially when my mind kept battling between what the professor was saying and what Theo’s surprise could possibly be.

Fortunately, I don’t usually have a hard time studying and by the last test passed, everything was now final. Summer classes were over and I was free!

All the other students and I practically ran out of the rooms and outside the building. My eyes lit up and I couldn’t contain my smile when right on the dot, my handsome boyfriend was waiting for me. 

Dressed perfectly in just casual clothes yet always effortlessly making heads turn for him, it was hard not to feel jealous when he garnered too much attention. But that same jealousy would immediately disappear as soon as Theo takes me in his arms and hugs me like I’m the only girl in his world. 

“Did you have a good last day?” He asked as he stood two stairs from me and yet he was still taller. 

“Last days of school are always good, Theo Donovan.” I told him as a matter of fact and he agreed laughingly. “So, what is it?!” I asked, budging him as I was over the top excited.

“My little Valentine is impatient, huh?” He told me to make fun of me and I shot him a look which made him surrender instantly. 

“Alright, okay, sheesh. Where’s the number one place you would go to right now if you could?” Theo asked almost too seriously and I looked at him baffled. 

Where was this question coming from all of a sudden?

“Um…” I shifted my eyes in thought. “Our favorite seafood place right outside university?” I said unsure, but nonetheless pretty hungry. 

“W-what?” Theo said with an uncertain chuckle as he looked at me like I just told him Einstein was in our class today.

“Babe, anywhere in the world. A country you want to go to.” He clarified and I finally understood what he meant.

I thought about it for a bit. Hands holding onto Theo as the sun was practically melting us to death when the thought hit me. 

“Brasil! Rio de Janeiro!” I squealed almost like I was saying the answer to a television game show.

An amused smile formed on Theo’s lips and my eyes blinked at him confused until I had an inclination of what it meant. 

“No… way?” I said unsure.

He nodded his head as he gave me a huge and excited smile.

“Pack a lot of summer clothes, baby. We’re going to the capital of carnivals - Brasil!”
