“Señor,” the driver calls when I’m halfway down the shuttle steps.

I turn back to him.

“Te perdiste tu parada” You missed your stop,” His grin is pure mischief.

I give him a good natured, slightly abashed smile. “Lo sé” I know.

He nods in Regan’s direction, his expression teasing still, with a touch of wistfulness. “No te culpo” I don’t blame you.

I wish him goodnight and head in the direction of the red brick paved terrace that leads to the reservation desk.

Regan is a few steps ahead of me and I keep a respectable distance between us. I don’t know why I’m following her or what I’ll do when I catch up, but I can’t just let her walk away.

I can still smell her on me. I turn my head to draw in

a breath and catch a sweet flowery scent mingled with the tart citrus and spicy ginger. It’s intoxicating.

“Are you following me?” She comes to an abrupt stop and pivots on her heel to face me.

“Yes.”

She whips her sunglasses off and even though it’s dark, this walkway is well lit, and I can see that her eyes are red rimmed, like she’s been crying.

Guilt curdles in my gut. “Oh shit, I’m sorry, I thought—”

“About what happened --”

We speak at the same time.

“Ladies first. Please.” I insist when she bites her lip

“I’ve never done anything like that…” she says in a halting voice.

I step closer to her, close enough that I can smell her again.

It makes my mouth water.

“Did you like it?” I ask.

“Yes,” she replies in a husky voice. She bites that sweet lower lip and my eyes drop to her mouth. She lets go of it and clears her throat. I drag my gaze back to her eyes. Her gaze is dark and inscrutable, but the energy between us is frantic and charged.

I reach for her slowly, to give her a chance to step away. When she doesn’t, I brush a lock of hair off her shoulder and run the tip of my forefinger down her arm.

“Are your panties wet?” I ask.

She draws in a sharp breath and shifts her stance; her lips part and she licks them quickly before nods.

“Go in there, take 'em off and bring them to me.” I demand, nodding at her pelvis.

She cocks her head at me, her wary eyes heavy lidded with arousal. “Have you… done something like…that before?” Her voice is full of anticipation, and when I shake my head no, she seems to relax a little.

“Good, you’re my first, too.”

Lord, how I wish that was true. She can’t hear the thundering of my raging pulse, but when a small smile tugs up the concerns of her mouth, I would almost swear she knows that I’m unraveling on the inside.

“Reggie, come on already, they need your credit card to change it,” her friend yells from the door. Her eyes widen in alarm and she slips her sunglasses on before she turns pivots in a smooth circle and turns her back to me.

I want to call after her, I don’t know what else I’d say.
