Aribella huffs at me. “I wasn’t jealous. I was furious.” I can’t help but chuckle. She can’t even admit she wants me. So fucking adorable.

“Fair enough. Now can we get out of this closet??” I watch her look down and shrug.

“I guess, but it’s kind of comfy.”Damn, she’s a smartass.

Swatting her butt, I open the door. “Mi pequena mariposa is cheeky, isn’t she?”

Letting her walk out of the closet ahead of me, she looks back at me. “Sí,mi bestia.”

Goddamn, she’s flirting with me. Now isn’t the time for sex, though. Aribella speaking Spanish makes me wild, and she doesn’t even fucking know it. That southern accent of hers mixed with the Spanish lilt is enough to have me coming in my pants like a schoolboy.

“Take off your clothes.” Growling, I strip on my way to the bed. I’m not going to fuck her. No, I can reel my need in order to hold her.

Aribella’s eyes go wide, but she follows my command. For once, I don’t have to force her or pressure her emotionally. She gives me a show too. Those hips of her shimmy as she undresses.

God, I want to throw her on the bed and eat her pussy so badly, but I stop myself. “Get on the bed.”

Biting her lip, Aribella climbs on the bed as her blush creeps down her chest.

“It’s… I…” she stumbles over her words when I lie down next to her.

“We aren’t going to do anything at the moment. I want to hold you while you talk to me.”

Pulling her into my arms, I get us settled under the covers. Her hard nipples touch my side and I groan.

“Talk to you about what?” She moves her head to my chest. Shit, my patience is being tested.

“Why did you get furious when you thought I was with another woman?” I move her hair back from her face so I can see those gorgeous eyes.

“Well, it’s kind of obvious. I don’t want to be here and to think I was another notch on your belt doesn’t sit well with me.”

Hearing she doesn’t want to be here pisses me off. “I am giving you the ability to be safe.” Gritting my teeth, I run my hands along her back. Her head pops up and I can see the hurt in her eyes.

“You also aren’t really letting me live.” When she lays her head back on my chest, I almost lose it. How can she believe that?

Dude, it’s not like you have shown her the world.My brain mocks me and I close my eyes. Baby steps, Vincent. Baby steps.

“I know that it’s safe here and I should stay. But I want to go to college and have friends.” Her eyes are on me, gauging my reaction.

“Hmm. You’ll have to earn my trust before you are allowed to go.” It isn’t a no. Not really. I wait, not realizing I’m holding my breath, wondering what she’ll do or say. Aribella stiffens, but she maintains eye contact with me.

“You can’t keep me locked up. I have friends, and I’m pretty sure I’ve been fired from my jobs by now, but Iwantto work.”

Is it wrong of me to want her safe? To keep her here? Aribella isn’t asking for far-fetched things. However, I know until I fix things with the families, she’s not truly safe.

Rolling over, I push my way in between her thighs and put her hands up over her head.

“Lie still,mi reina,and spread your legs more for me.” My voice has gone low and gravelly, and my animalistic need pushes through.

“No,” her lips say, but the twinkle in her eyes says all I need to know. She’s wanting to play.

“No, huh?” I bite her earlobe and she squeals as I move my hips along her wet pussy. Moving my cock in between her folds, her wetness soaks my tip. Fuck, does she like sparring with me as much as I like sparring with her?

I should be taking this slow. It’s not like I was gentle the first time I took her. “Already so damn wet for me, naughty girl.”

Aribella closes her eyes and trembles as the tip of my dick enters her slit. “We need to…” One full thrust into her and the words she was speaking are gone. A loud moan leaves her lips when I pull back and thrust right back in.

“That’smi reina.” I kiss her lips and move slowly back into her. Each time I’m balls deep inside her, she moans my name.
