“Er, uh, no! I’m not jealous.” She shook her head. “Why would I be jealous? I could never be—”

“Well, I smelled you,” I interrupted. “I could smell your arousal all the way down at the bar.”

Her eyes widened. “You didn’t, there is no way—”

“I did, because my body is completely in tune with yours.” I cautiously stepped forward. As I approached, she instinctively stepped back, her shoes scraping against the cold surface. I could see the uncertainty in her eyes as she slowly retreated. Her scent bloomed, and my nostrils flared, taking it in.

I cupped her cheek. “I know you want me, love. Just know I want you, too.” I ran a finger down her chin, then across her lips. It still smelled of tequila and I had an urge to stick it into her mouth and ask, no, beg her tosuck. But I didn’t.

Her chest heaved, her breasts rising and falling within the little black dress she wore. We stood there in silence as I waited for her to reply.

She cleared her throat. “Ah, fuck it!” She pushed her hands into my chest and took me by surprise. I grunted, hitting the other wall. She grabbed the back of my hair and pulled me into the most electrifying kiss I’d ever had.

Chapter Thirteen

Elena

He drove me mad.

When I saw him dancing on a bar, moving his hips and straddling the pole, I wanted nothing more than to bethat pole. I wanted him to dance around me, lick the sweat off my body. I wanted to trail my finger down every crevice of his body while he made me the center of his world.

Was I crazy?

Jealousy rose its ugly head as I watched the other women at the bar stuff money into his tight black jeans. He was mine, he wanted me, right?

But you pushed him away. Several times.

Not anymore. Not the way my body was responding. I could feel his presence, like he was standing beside me, even from across the room. I wanted him.

After much pushing and insisting from Abuela that I go have some fun and not worry about Luis, I put on my only nice dress, and Abuela rushed me out the door. Even Luis looked excited when he waved Beretta and me off.

I remembered to take my medication. Luckily, my pain had gone downto a dull ache. The excitement must have made my body forget I was in pain this afternoon. When I rushed with Beretta to the second floor of the bar, seeing Anaki glistening under the cheap strobing lights from the dance floor, my pain was long gone.

It was like I could feel him, as if he was right next to me the entire time.

I didn’t even pay attention to my sister and Locke, and the debauchery they were doing in front of the entire bar. She was a big girl and could handle herself. Once they finished and left to have their good times, it was my turn. It had been too long since I had a man want me the way Anaki did.

Not just wanted me, but cared about my family, too.

I didn’t want to give in so easily, so when I stood in front of him, I had planned to give him a hard time, but what a pointless endeavor that was.

I wanted him and not just for the night, and maybe that’s why I was fighting so hard.

My body and my heart were falling for him so hard and fast, and I couldn’t explain why.

It was the softness in his eyes, the tender way he looked at me. I wanted to care for him the way he did for me when we first met. I was lost, but he found me. Now it was my turn to take care of him.

“Ah, fuck it!”

I wrapped my arms around him, and I was completely done. D-O-N-E. I claimed him and I would not let him go.

My fingers dove into his hair, and I pulled him into a searing kiss.

His lips were warm and eager against mine, and I felt a surge of electricity shoot through me as our bodies pressed together. In that moment, everything else faded away. It was just him and me, lost in the whirlwind of heat.

I pressed my body closer to his until he finally wrapped his arms around me and pulled my hips closer to his so I could feel his large erection dig intomy stomach.

Dios Mio, he was large. I didn’t know which way his dick was facing, up or down but I knew I wanted it right then and there.
