- Sarah's POV -

"Thee, put me down will you?!" I squealed, slapping at his hands, which were wrapped tightly around my waist, holding me above the ground.

"Say please!" He cried, spinning me around slowly.

"PLEASE!" I yelled, trying not to laugh.

"Better." He smiled, placing me gently on my feet, before turning me around to face him.

"You just wanted me to scream." I giggled, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Maybe." He shrugged, placing his hands on my hips.

"Pervert." I whispered, closing the distance between our lips, kissing him briefly before seperating myself from him. He blinked, dazed, for a few seconds, wondering what just happened. "Looking for something?" I asked, waving from the top of the stairs.

"That's hardly fair!" He called, narrowing his eyes at me. Within seconds he was at my side, pinning my back against the banister behind me. "That was just mean, baby." He purred in my ear, his face in my neck.

"Payback's a bitch." I whispered, breatheless.

"And so is Karma." He breathed into my neck.

"At least they're beautiful." I shrugged, pushing him down the stairs.

"Now, now, darlin', let's not get too rough." He winked up at me from where he was perched on the end of the banister.

"You like it rough, though, honey." I sat down on the top stair, playing with a strand of my chocolate brown hair, batting my thick lashes at Theo.

He growled.

"Wow, honey." I winked, standing up from my position and joining him at the bottom of the stairs.

"You little tease." He murmured, wrapping his arms around my waist again.

"Am not." I fake gasped, feigning shock.

"You know you are."

"Fine, maybe I am." I shrugged, turning my head away as he leaned down to kiss me, meaning he got my cheek instead of my lips.

"See?"

"I don't know what you're talking about baby."

"Sure you don't." He purred, sinking his teeth slowly into my neck.

"Baby, not here." I scolded, pushing him away.

"Why not? We're home alone." He shrugged, licking the marks the bite left.

"My parents don't know about you yet."

"What?" He pulled away, looking directly into my eyes. "Your parents don't know we're dating?"

"Not exactly."

"Sar, come on." He moved away from me completely, making me stumble from the sudden lack of contact.

"What? How am I supposed to tell them that I've been lying to them for 6 months."

"Easy, just like that. Tell them, Sarah." His emerald green eyes flashed gold as he stared at me, showing me his changing emotions.

"I can't okay?" I hissed, hearing the front door open from behind me.

"Sarah? We're home!" My mum called, keys rattling in her hands.

"In here mum!" I called back, frowning at Theo, who stood on the opposite side of the room, shirtless.

"Oh, hi Theo." Mum chirped, shifting Adie on her hip.
