The way Greg almost leapt from him as though he'd been burned had Theo cowering a little, not sure of what to expect, although Greg's following behaviour had him not knowing what to make of things.
He was being apologised to and no longer touched and he didn't know if this was going to make Greg angry or curse himself again but he couldn't help it, he had to ask; "You stopped?" Like he couldn't believe it, though he really couldn't. The leg of his shorts remained pushed up, leaving him flashing tantalisingly like a strip tease with any small movement, but he didn't want to touch anything to bring them down.
