I’m not sure how long I gaze back at him but he’s the first to turn away. I briefly close my eyes before I drop into my car.
My head drops to the steering wheel, and I tell myself that I can’t keep doing this. I can’t keep being around Diego when I know nothing will become of us. I don’t think he realizes just how much I wish that I had the right to call him mine. How much I want to be with him for the rest of my life.
Swiping at my tears, I turn my car around and head home, alone.

Diego ~ Present Day
Exhausted, I trudge through the thin line of burnt trees and stop in my tracks at the sight before me. I have to be seeing things.
Removing one of my gloves, I rub at my tired eyes, blin
king…and I still have the vision of the sexiest curvy ass wiggling under the hood of a car…attached to it is a head of fiery red hair that I recognize. I haven’t seen her in two weeks…I crave this woman like a fucking drug.
Rae.
She isn’t tall or model thin by any means but the thought of having those legs wrapped around my waist while my hands caress her bare skin causes a twitch in my pants.
Seconds later, a string of curse words escape from between her luscious lips, and my presence becomes known when I throw my head back laughing.
Rae quickly turns, losing her balance and ends up on her butt at the side of the road.
Moving quickly, I rip off my other glove and hold my hands out to her while she stares at me as though…she’s missed me. She has feelings for me just like I do her, which is why I’ve been unable to look at another woman. And now the only one I want is sitting on her ass with a sudden case of mute and paralysis.
“C’mon Rae, let me help you up.”
She shakes her head and her hand slowly slides into mine and when she gasps at my touch, I tug her up and back on to her feet.
I use the opportunity of her closeness to really look at her and I let my eyes roam over the beautiful woman who I want more than my next breath.
Her full head of fiery red hair is coming free from the hair tie that currently keeps it out of the way. Her face is rosy with a small sprinkling of freckles over her flushed cheeks and the bridge of her nose. She’s as beautiful as I remember, and most likely just as stubborn.
I reluctantly let go of her hand and I can’t help myself from glancing down her torso to her ample chest. The hard nubs of her nipples are clearly outlined, and at her gasp, I snap my eyes up to hers.
My cheeks heat at having been caught, so I clear my throat and grin. “It’s good to see you again, Rae,” I tell her and reach out with my thumb to caress the side of her soft face.
Her eyes flutter closed at my touch and as she starts to lean closer, they suddenly snap open and she takes a step back, breaking our contact.
“I take it you’ve been okay?” she asks, glancing at my shoulder where I’d taken a knife.
“I’m good.” I frown. “What are you doing out here, Rae? It’s not the place to be.”
“I know that.” She sighs and tears tremble on her lashes.
It takes everything in me not to close the distance between us. This stubborn woman is still under my skin and very soon I’m going to be putting ‘operation Rae’ into gear. I’ve respected her request that nothing can happen between us in hope that she’ll miss me as much as I miss her. But like I say, she’s stubborn.
“It’s good to see you,” she finally admits and a grin splits my face. She rolls her eyes and turns to the car. “I don’t suppose you know what’s wrong with this piece of junk?”
I cock an eyebrow because the car is anything but junk with a two year old plate. “I’ll take a look.” I move to the front of the vehicle and look inside, and straightaway I spot the problem—a loose plug. The only question is whether or not I fix it now or in five minutes.
This firecracker of a woman woke up my libido like no one else ever has. Since I first met her, I’ve been jerking off with the image of Rae in my head. Imagining her hands on my cock, and that sexy mouth wrapped around me, would do it every damn time.
Straightening, I meet her gaze and feel lust kick me in the balls, tightening and thickening my cock.
“Mom, I’m getting hungry.”
Startled, those words have a dowsing effect on my arousal. I had no idea that she wasn’t alone, probably because of all the crap that’s piled up at the windows.
