“I’m sorry. I guess I’ve just gone too far.” With my bag slung over my shoulder, I turned toward the sofa. “Of course, I’ll …”
“No.”
Surprised, I glanced back at Hector. He appeared so helpless, as if all the walls he had built around himself had just crumbled. I was sure he had no idea how sweet he looked. He was struggling, I could see that. Even though I knew how wrong it was, I let my bag drop to the floor and approached him. I just had to, knowing it was my fault he was feeling this way.
He was torn, even avoiding looking at me. This attractive man who had made my head spin at the poker table on the first night. He had no idea how drawn I was to him.
My energy could no longer resist this attraction, and I didn’t want to. I wanted to touch Hector and make him understand that it was okay—though it was complete nonsense. Nothing was okay. But suddenly, I was no longer afraid. I was ready to risk everything, and I wanted Hector to feel that.
The moment I stood close enough to gaze into his hazel eyes, I knew I was done for. I would never go home without kissing this man again. But I also knew that I shouldn’t be the one to make the first move—unfortunately.
“There are green flecks in your light brown iris,” I said softly.
For a moment, time stood still.
I didn’t breathe.
He didn’t breathe.
We stood so close, yet he felt out of reach. It must have been the wedding ring on his finger. It felt like a force field—or at least that’s what I told myself. Hector remained completely still in front of me. I didn’t know how much longer I could wait for him, but he was the one who had just said no.
What I would have given to read his thoughts.
Was he thinking about his wife? His kids? Or the moment after the poker game?
All I knew was that I craved him. The longer I gazed at him, the more warmth flooded through me, igniting my desire. Hector turned me on. Damn it, and he was just standing there looking at me.
“You said no,” I reminded him—my voice no more than a whisper.
“I know,” he replied in a husky voice, licking his lips immediately. “I … I’m going over our case. Looking for arguments against … this.”
I smiled sadly because he was just so sweet. “And how’s that going?”
“It seems that … I have airtight arguments, but I can twist and turn them however I want. They don’t hold up.”
I smiled. “And what are you going to do about it?”
Hector closed the final distance and slid his hand into the back of my neck, kissing me passionately. The moment our lips touched, I melted.
It didn’t feel like a victory, but rather like coming back after a long absence. My fingers grazed his neck as I joined him in a slow, intimate dance of tongues.
“This is and always will be a stupid idea,” he said between kisses.
“Maybe,” I answered in a breathless whisper, swiftly pulling his shirt out of his pants. “But you’re just irresistible.”
Feeling his warm, bare skin sent a shiver through my entire body, and I pressed myself tighter against him. I inhaled his scent and every breath that came from his lips.
As his hands found their way under my shirt and traced from my hips over my ribs and onto my back, I gasped for air. It just hit me that I had been craving this for the past two weeks.
“Fuck me,” I whispered.
Hector didn’t need to be told twice; he guided me into the bedroom, always careful not to lose our lips from each other. I unbuttoned his shirt while he tore my sweater over my head. Then the T-shirt, and once I had finally managed to get his jacket and shirt off, he had already unfastened my belt.
I reluctantly broke away from Hector’s lips and sat on the edge of the bed to work on his pants. They were quickly down, and I freed his erection from his underwear.
He was gorgeous, and I couldn’t help but caress him. He stood firm and twitched as I pulled away. With a dark expression, Hector gazed down at me, his chest rising and falling with desire. When I wrapped my hand around his length and massaged it tenderly, he exhaled, closed his eyes, and tilted his head back.
Watching him lose control turned me on. Even as I took his penis back into my mouth, I couldn’t tear my gaze away from his gorgeous face.
