Page 39 of What She Wants

My skin tingles because I know that tone well. “Absolutely not. You haven’t earned such privileges. Besides, I got my period.” It’s more spotting now but that means tomorrow will be a bitch. I’m not telling him that though.

His smile deepens. “Did you forget who you were talking to, Chispa. I’m the last guy to be scared of a little blood.”

Marín delivers one of those mind melting kisses that screams sexual warfare and makes me feel all giggly inside. I almost forget I’m upset but regain my sanity in time to push him away.

“I’m still mad at you,” I complain.

His smirk has ‘gaslight’ written all over it. “It’s okay. It works better this way. No more sex until the wedding night.”

He turns and leaves me standing there stunned.

“I hope you stub your pinky toe,” I say before he gets too far away.

I can still hear his laughter but he doesn’t turn to respond.

Chapter23

Marín

One thingthat I really like about Esme is that she doesn’t realize that I’ve got her almost figured out.

She doesn’t have to say anything for me to know that when I text her to show up at my house, she’ll play all hard to get but she’ll show up.

“Took you long enough to open the door.” Esme greets me as she passes by me and walks into the house that’ll be her home in a matter of days.

She thinks she wants someone who does what she says but I can read her. I know she wants me to lead her in ways that she doesn’t think I can.

She wants to give up that control. I’m sure of it.

I shut the door behind me, grab her elbow pulling her back and push her against the door.

“Just say you miss me and I promise I’ll still put my tongue to use before the wedding.”

Esme looks me up and down for a moment as she narrows her eyes. I know she’s about to say something crazy and sexy.

“You know I’ve known how to satisfy myself even before you showed up in the picture.”

“Oh, Chispa,not even a fool would believe the words coming out of your mouth.”

“Wat—.”

I drop my lips on her again knowing that she’s going to kiss me back just as hard and lust-filled.

My fingers venture down her dress and dip back up inside her little black dress. She arches her body towards me when I slip two fingers inside of her.

Her moans are captured in my kisses and they release with a gasp when I kiss down her neck. Her breath changes as she climbs higher and higher until she’s so damned close but then a knock on my door causes us to stop.

“I know you’re home, Marín Delgado. It’s either you open the door or I can open it. I have a key.”

Mikonos’s voice comes through the door. I roll my eyes, of course a Bishops would have a key to my place.

I don’t know how I feel about that.

Reluctantly and much to Esme’s disappointment, I move her aside.

“Go ahead and go get cleaned up, seems like this might take a while.”

“Dismissing me?” She teases.
