He lets out a laugh. “Too nice? What kind of monsters have you been with?”

“The kind I need. The kind I deserve. I like to be fucked, Cruz.”

He stands as he holds up his hands in surrender. “My bad. I apologize for wanting to take my time with you. For not wanting it to be over too quickly and for you to leave a trail of smoke in your wake as you hurry out of here.”

Tears fill my eyes. “I’m sorry. It’s just the way I am. The way I’ve always been. I told you that I’m fucked up.”

He takes a few long breaths. “Do you want this, Kamryn? As much as I want you, I’m certainly not the kind of guy to force anything.”

I nod as I hug my knees to my chest. “I do want you, but I need it to be like it was last time.”

He gives me a small smile. “Can we compromise?”

I lift an eyebrow. “Are we in a sex negotiation?”

His smile widens. “I suppose we are.” He lifts some sort of remote control off his nightstand and presses a button. Slow, sultry Latin music begins playing. He holds out his hand for me. “Dance with me. Let me seduce you for a bit, and then I’ll give you what you want. I’ll do you hard and dirty.”

“You don’t need to seduce me. I’m already in your bed.”

“Iwantto seduce you, Kamryn.”

He motions his hand again for me to take it. This time I do, and he pulls me to stand and then into his arms.

He immediately begins swaying us to the provocative beat of the music. His hands roam up and down my body, both over my clothes and up the back of my sweater. His lips drag along my neck and jawline.

Okay, this is nice. This I can handle. I would do this in a club with someone I’m attracted to, so why not here with him?

He effortlessly moves us around, helping our hips move in unison. He really is a good dancer.

He practically purrs, “He soñado con tenerte en mis brazos así.”I've dreamed of holding you in my arms like this.“Eres la mujer más hermosa que he visto en mi vida.”You’re the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.

I whisper. “What did you say?”

He smiles into my neck. “That I’m going to pound your pussy until you can’t walk straight.”

I’m more than confident that he didn’t say that, but I appreciate the fact that he knows what I need to hear. Maybe I should learn a little Spanish. In fact, I’m going to do that right away.

As the first song ends and another begins, he turns us so that my back is to his front. He lifts my sweater over my head and tosses it to the side. I feel his bare chest on my back. I guess he removed his sweater too.

After making quick work of my bra, he cups my breasts, though he never stops swaying our hips to the beat of the music.

He rubs his thumbs over my rapidly hardening nipples. “Me dejas sin aliento.”You take my breath away.

“What did you say?”

“Umm…that I’m going to fuck these tits later.”

I giggle. “You definitely didn’t say that.”

I can feel him silently laugh on my back as he kisses his way down it. I feel his fingers move to unbutton my jeans. Now we’re getting somewhere.

He slides my jeans and panties down and off my legs until I’m standing there completely naked.

His fingers run up and down my thighs. Each time they almost reach their final destination but never quite get there. The anticipation is killing me. I’m practically panting. I’m dripping for it.

His warm breath skirts past my ear. “Tell me you want this. Tell me youneedmy cock inside you.”

I manage to nod.
