I smiled, playfully rolling my eyes. “Yes, ma’am. After I rest. Are you coming over to rest with me?” I asked.
As much as I craved my alone time, I’d gotten used to having Vera in my space, and it was going to be weird without her.
She shook her head, taking my hand again. “No, darling. You need to rest and get back to your normal routine, as do I. I need to go see my abuela and brothers. I also need to do laundry and rest up. We’ve been together for a week straight. As much as I’d love nothing more than to spend more time with you, it’s good to have some space so we don’t get sick of each other.”
I frowned. “You think you’ll get sick of me?”
She stopped us and turned toward me, caressing the side of my face with one hand and wrapping her other around my waist. “Oh, princesa. I’ll never get sick of you. But I think you might get sick of me. It took me this long to get you and I don’t want you going anywhere.” She kissed my nose and we continued our walk.
After kissing and watching the sunrise, we’d go to a cute little cafe for breakfast. On our way there, I spoke softly. “I don’t want to get sick of you.”
She turned toward me. “I don’t want you to either.”
“You’ve been so patient with me and so kind, even when I treated you wrongly. You could have anyone you want. I mean for starters, look at you.”
She laughed, but I continued. “I’m serious. You are absolutely gorgeous. You have the kindest heart of anyone I know, and I respect the hell out of you.”
“Cara, please know something. I don’t want just anyone, okay? I want you. I can be as patient as I need to be with you, but please understand that I’m not going anywhere. I’m not going to get sick of you. I’m not going to learn something about you and just leave, I’m not going to be unfaithful to you. And I’m not going to lie to you. You already know how I feel about you, and that won’t change.”
I smiled and reached up to place a kiss on her lips. “Can I buy you breakfast?” I asked, knowing what her answer would be.
“You can try, but I can’t promise I’ll let you.”
Spoiler alert, she didn’t let me pay with money, but I did pay her back in other ways.
We had spent the entire day in our room and our robes. Drea and Blair had left this morning, and our flight was early tomorrow morning. We’d all joined them in their room to say goodbye, and had decided to do our own things for the rest of the day.
We’d barely gotten out of bed and had ordered room service for any meals. We’d just finished another round and I got up to take a shower, my legs still a little shaky.
“Okay, I’m going to take a shower before you try to go again and I can’t move. It’s getting late and you’ve exhausted me,” I said in between breaths.
She chuckled, looking smug. “I didn’t hear you complaining earlier. But I can help you if you’re too tired.”
I groaned. She was trying to kill me. We’d already gone four times since this morning. “You’d like that wouldn’t you? I think I can manage just fine.”
She pouted and stood on her knees, grabbing my wrist and pulling me back to her. “I’d like a lot of things from you.”
“Oh, yeah? Like what?” I asked, already regretting that decision. If I didn’t back away, I’d never get in the shower.
She lifted my chin up and her smile was pure want. “Bésame, princesa.” Fuck the shower. I could take one before our flight.
I did as she said and leaned in, practically fusing our bodies together. I knew it was a mistake as soon as our lips touched. She wrapped her hands around my back and turned me so I was lying on the bed.
“Cheater,” I breathed.
“I’m sorry. You wanted to take a shower, right?” she said in between kisses. On my neck, on my chest, on my nipple.
“Fuck!” I moaned when she circled it with her tongue. I thrusted my hips into her, needing more. “It’s okay. I can take a shower later, just… Please don’t stop.”
She kissed lower and I moaned when she placed my legs on her shoulders. “I wouldn’t dream of it.”
A few hours later, I finally made it into the shower with Vera’s help. She carried me into the bathroom and I was so thankful there was a bench to sit on. I didn’t think my legs wouldhold me. She washed my hair and got me out of there without any more sex.
I didn’t think I’d ever be able to have sex again. How had I come harder every time? I didn’t think I had anything left to give, but if she wanted to go again, I probably would’ve let her.
It was like I shook a bottle of champagne and finally opened it. Everything just kept coming out. The need for her I kept inside and tried to forget erupted, and now that it was out, there was nothing to do but let it keep going.
Now that I’d admitted my feelings for her and my need for her, they wouldn’t go away and that was how we ended up with her literally carrying me to bed from the shower.
