Maybe unconventional is better. “True. Too many people get hung up on the established criteria for a proper, successful life and forget to live.” I shake my head in approval. “I’m glad I had a small part in helping you find happiness. What kind of law does he practice?”
“Corporate law. His eyes light up when he sees a thick, complicated contract,” He replies with a roll of his eyes. “Outside of work, he’s full of surprises, and we love to go dancing. You should come with us sometime. It’s a blast!”
I sip the drink and relax on the chair. “It sounds like fun. I’ll do that next time. I swear, I could live out here on the beach. It’s so peaceful.”
“If I’m honest, I prefer to splurge for a pool pass at one of the luxury hotels. They set everything up and bring you food and pretty little drinks the whole day. Next time, we’ll meet up at one and you can compare the two,” he says magnanimously.
I frown and point to my drink. “Someone did bring me drinks.”
He narrows his eyes at my subtle cheekiness. “Just remember that for next time. It will be your turn to get us drinks.” He gets up and stretches. “I’ve got to go. Someone created a lot of work for me.” His eyes dart to me. “Thank you, Henley. I’ll send the bill via email. Also, I’ll let you know which dress to wear for the yacht party. They all look good, but none are really hitting the right note for me right now.”
My mouth quirks at his perfectionist tendencies. “You know you’re invited to the yacht party. Be sure to bring your boyfriend. An invitation will be hand delivered.” I wave him off and relax. It’s only four o’clock.
CHAPTER23
HENLEY
Mateo is waiting for me when I get out of the shower. It’s obvious by the look on his face he wants to talk about the Thiago situation. I sigh and get dressed. He groans softly behind me, and I barely suppress the evil smile rising to the surface. He deserves to suffer a little.
When I turn around, he moves closer. “I’m sorry the discussion with Thiago was awkward this morning. Was I wrong when I told him you were attracted to him?”
“First of all, a woman would have to be dead not to be attracted to Thiago. I’m not that much of a unicorn. But I didn’t think you would discuss me and the way I felt. It blindsided me, and it was embarrassing,” I admit to him. “And honestly, I’m kind of confused. I thought it was fine for me to be attracted to all three of you?”
Mateo runs a hand through his hair. “It is, but there is more to this when it comes to Thiago. He might not be aware he’s flirting or how it might impact you. And he needed to know you were attracted to Grayson and me. I told him if he wasn’t interested in you, he needed to be honest. He decided to back off.”
“I don’t even know what to say. He wasn’t interested which is fine. I think knowing he knew is what kills me. It’s one thing to get rebuffed in the dark after a kiss, but it’s an entirely different thing to have your feelings discussed behind your back,” I tell him.
“I get it, but Grayson, Thiago, and I always make it a point to give it to each other straight.” A long, heavy sigh fills the air. “Too many people get hung up on what’s right or wrong in this world. Why is it wrong to want to be with more than one person? Because current society dictates it? If the world’s population was decimated tomorrow, would it suddenly be okay or even expected to build the population up? Feel what you want, Henley. If we’re all honest with each other, things will work out,” he states firmly.
Inching closer, he pulls me into his arms. “I’m sorry you were embarrassed. It wasn’t my intent. Forgive me?”
My arms wrap around him. “Yes, I forgive you. I’m sorry, too. I know you’re looking out for me, but I’ve been on my own for a long time and can take care of things myself.”
His lips slide down my neck. “Is the argument done? Want to make up?”
Instead of replying, I capture his lips with mine while my fingers work on the buttons of his shirt.
He backs up and turns, pushing me onto the bed.
While he strips off his shirt, I sit up, unfasten his jeans, and pull out his cock. I stroke him from bottom to top a few times, but he looks so good, I can’t help leaning forward and circling the head with my tongue. He tastes and smells so good, like soap and man. So sexy.
He moans.
The sound arrows through me, turning on all the delicious parts of me. Fascinated, I close my mouth over him, and flick the underside of his head a few times, making his hips buck a little. With a moan, I circle the tip again, then draw him deeper inside my mouth. At about a third way down, I suck lightly while my hand rolls him from root to lips.
Pulling him out, I breathe on the tip and look up at him.
“Minha linda, I’m getting so turned on watching your beautiful mouth enjoy my cock,” he rasps. His hand cups the back of my head, fingers spearing through the wet strands. “Do it again, please.”
With a wicked smile, I concentrate on tasting and sucking on him in several spots. One hand strokes his cock, but I use the other to explore his body and find what turns him on most. My finger grazes the small smooth spot under his balls, and his cock leaks cum. Licking it up, I take him farther into my mouth and suck while I play with the sensitive spot.
He moans loudly.
The need to see him lose control is riding me hard. My mouth and hands work harder and faster. His cock swells.
“I’m going to come. If you don’t want it in your mouth, tell me now,” he groans, barely able to get the words out.
There’s no way I’m giving this up now. I shake my head and keep up the pace. His hand tightens on my head, and a few minutes later, his release hits him and he jerks a few times in my hand and mouth, coming hard.
