“She was some kind of heiress. Her parentsdidn’t approve of my dad. He was Mexican and a cop, so he wasn’tgood enough for their princess. When she found out she waspregnant, they gave her an ultimatum. Us or the money. Theyactually wanted her to get an abortion, but she opted instead togive me up to my dad.”

His arm tightens around me supportively. Ihaven’t talked about her in a long time. I don’t know how she coulddo it. How do you leave a baby you spent nine months carryinginside your body? And afterwards…she never even tried to see meonce. “Daddy was my rock. After he died, I was a little lost.Everything moved so fast. Lonnie swept in, signed some papers, andpacked me up. I didn’t even get to go to prom or graduation.”

“Do you miss it?”

“I do, especially Toni. She’s my best friend.But there’s nothing there for me anymore.”

“You don’t have any other family?”

“Nope. I was accepted into the MiamiInternational University of Art and Design, but I had to give it upwhen I moved.”

“Art? What were you going to study?”

“Graphic and web design.”

“There are other art schools around.”

“I know. I just have to get some other stuffsorted out first.”

“Like what?” He asks.

“I need to get my own place. I can’t standliving with Lonnie. I just wish my birthday would hurry up and gethere.”

“You and me both.”

I lay my palm flat on his hard chest and movecloser. “Why don’t you remind me what’s in it for you?”

His hand creeps under my shirt, and hisfingers slowly dance up my spine. My breathing gets ragged and mybody trembles against him.

“I finally get to do what I’ve wanted to dosince the moment I saw you…sink my dick deep inside you.”

I can barely keep my eyes open, but I fightit because the look on his face is affecting me as much as histouch. “Is that all?”

He traces circles over my heated skin – myhip, the dip of my waist, and up my ribcage. His voice, low andhoarse, weaves its way into my senses.

“I’m going to kiss every inch of yourgorgeous body.”

I slide my fingers into his hair and lean in,our lips just inches apart. My pussy is twitching, begging forattention. He gets close to my breast and I arch into him, but hewithdraws his fingers.

“Once you’ve come on my tongue a fewtimes…I’m going to fuck you nice and slow.”

“Gage…”

“At first. But then I’m going to take youhard and fast…in every position and location I can.”

He parts my thighs and places his kneebetween them. I move my hips, desperately trying to ease the achebetween my legs.

“When I’m done with you, you won’t be able towalk for a month.”

“That…sounds painful.”

His fingers continue their exploratorymission, trailing over my thigh. I moan, feeling like I mightshatter at any moment.

“I’ll have you coming so hard, you’ll welcomethe pain.”

Dios. “Please, Gage. I don’t want towait.”

He stops instantly, pulling my shirtdown.
