Fuck.

“Eleanor, I’ll call you back.”

Chapter nineteen

Antonio

She’sstandinginthedoorway, completely flustered. Whatever she’s done to try and calm down hasn’t helped, and I can see her need written across her face.

“Wha-what are you doing here?” she asks, pushing her shoulders back and trying her best to put on a shield of faux confidence, something I’ve seen her do a few times.

“What am I doing here? I should be asking you what are you doing to me?” I rise to my full height; it’s normal for me to be able to use my height to overpower and intimidate people, but not with Theá. She’s so beautifully tall in heels, that intimidating her this way is impossible. Theá is also someone who never lets you know that she’s intimidated. But right now, with the way she is walking backwards, I’d bet my fortune she is.

“You have me feeling things I definitely shouldn’t be feeling, thinking things I shouldn’t, yet here I am, looking for my dessert since it seems to have grown these gorgeous…” I stalk after her, my eyes dropping to her legs on full display in this short dress. “…long legs and ran away.”

I shut the door behind me and pause to lock it. Pulling my suit jacket off, I toss it on a towel rack and remove my glasses, which I place neatly on the counter.

“We can’t do this, m-my dad. My dad and brother are right outside,” she stutters out.

“Oh, now you want to worry about your dad and brother? You weren’t worried about them when you were reading smut next to me.” I smirk.

She stares at me wide-eyed, mouth slightly agape.

“Don’t look so scared,tesoro. I don’t bite…unless you like that,” I say as I stalk towards her again, rolling my shirt sleeves up.

“Antonio…” My name leaves her lips like a plea, and all it does is send the blood straight to my already hard cock. Her eyes shift from my eyes down to my lips and back up to my eyes.

I groan. “Don’t look at me like that.”

“Like what?” she asks as her back hits the counter. My palms land on either side of her, allowing me to get so close that only a breath separates our lips.

“Like you want me to kiss you.”

“Maybe I do.”

She doesn’t have to tell me twice.

I’m a kid in a candy store with that permission. My hands grip her fucking insatiable thighs, the ones that my eyes have been glued to the entire night, and I lift her onto the counter. My lips are on hers not even a second later as I spread her thighs and step between them, bringing her body flush with mine.

This is the exact scene that has been playing on repeat in my mind since Sunday. Every time I shut my eyes since hearing Theá’s moans, I’ve wanted to do everything in my power to hear it again.

A gasp leaves her lips as I grind into her warm cunt.

I believe in seizing every opportunity you’re presented, and I believe that was a sign from God to throw all logic to the wind.

My tongue enters her mouth, and immediately, I snap back, leaving us both breathless. She stares at me in confusion as she tries to regulate her breathing. My brows furrow.How could I have been so ignorant the first time we kissed?Probably because that wasn’t a real kiss, but merely one for show.

My hand shoots up, and I grab her around her neck. Her eyes widen before they relax slightly. “Open your mouth, and stick your tongue out.”

I can see the mischief behind her eyes; she knows exactly why I’m asking. But like the good girl she is, she does exactly as I’ve asked.

Just as I felt, on the centre of her tongue sits a pretty silver ball—a fucking tongue ring. A groan leaves my lips. “You’re fucking perfect.” My lips capture her tongue, sucking on it. The cool texture of the metal ball is so addicting I can only imagine what it would feel like against my dick.

The door handle jiggles, and Theá jumps.

“Antonio,” she whispers.

I kiss her again to silence her. “You have to stay quiet now,tesoro.”
