I looked at him and said what I had never said or done before.

“Do it,” I affirmed, convinced and determined to make him completely lose control and give him pleasure.

“Devooon...” he shouted, and ecstasy overtook him, making him emit a guttural sound of authentic pleasure.

I looked at him and found him with his eyes closed, breathing with difficulty. Being aware that I had made him experience that level of pleasure made me feel powerful.

“God, Dulce... you’re going to kill me,” he whispered, fixing his feverish gaze on mine.

“Was it good?” I asked, with a certain shyness.

“Good? It was wonderful,” he said, pulling me into an embrace. “You are wonderful, my Dulce.”

A while later we left the bed to shower together in the en-suite bathroom in my bedroom. That was also a very pleasurable experience, and when we got out of the shower, I was exhausted.

“Maybe it’s better if you leave now so you can come back early for Aurora,” I suggested, because I remembered that he had said he didn’t want his daughter to see us together.

He looked at me with a furrowed brow while putting on his underwear.

“Are you kicking me out?”

“No, not at all. I simply remembered that you had told me you didn’t want Aurora to see us together, so I assumed you were going to go to your house and come back tomorrow to take her.”

“Aurora won’t find out that I spent the night with you, she’s very young. We just need to make sure we don’t show ourselves as a couple in front of her.”

And that was quite a change.

“You’re going to stay and sleep with me?” I asked, amazed, because I couldn’t imagine that he would want to spend the whole night with me and, on the other hand, it seemed like something too intimate that I had only done with Lino.

“It doesn’t make sense for me to leave in the early morning only to come back in a few hours. Does it bother you if I stay?”

“No, really. It’s just that I thought... you didn’t sleep with the people you were dating.”

“I never have, but with you I’m going to make an exception.”

“Why?”

“I already told you, it doesn’t make sense for me to leave only to come back in a few hours. Now that we’ve cleared that up, can I get into bed?” he asked, pointing to the bed.

“Go ahead,” I said, and turned to go to the walk-in closet because I was still wrapped in a towel.

I was going to sleep with Cavaller; I had to pinch myself because I couldn’t believe it.

I chose to put on the shortest nightgown I had, made of satin and lace, and my most daring underwear. I needed to feel pretty, although it was very difficult for me to see myself that way, and I still didn’t understand how a man like him had noticed me. Everything seemed unreal. It was all so crazy—a little while before he knocked on my door, I had been thinking about him and longing for him, and he had arrived and swept away all my sanity with amazing sex, and now I had him in my bed. I felt insecure; I was an insecure person by nature, but with him, a man who was any woman’s dream, I felt even more so.

I tried to calm myself down, inhaled and exhaled several times, and when I thought I had succeeded, at least a little, I came out of the closet trying to appear calm.

All my confidence went out the window as soon as I saw him. He was in my bed, sitting and leaning against the headboard, and the first thing that came to my mind was that this man couldn’t be real—he was too attractive and sexy. The second was that he was in my spot in the bed, because I always slept on the right side.

He looked at me, or rather made a complete survey of my body.

“Do you always sleep in this type of nightgown?”

“Yes,” I lied, because I wasn’t going to tell him that I had put it on for him.

“Well, let me tell you that with that perfect and wonderful body you have and that extremely sensual nightgown, I don’t know if I can keep my hands away from you—what am I saying, my hands—my entire body,” he added, looking at me with brutal desire, and that emboldened me, but also disturbed me more than I already was. That look could destabilize anyone.

“I'm going to check on Aurora and I'll be right back,” I said, needing to get out of there and find some air for my lungs.
