“How are you feeling about Nick?” I ask.
She shrugs. “I love him. You know I do. I never—I’ve never loved anyone like I love him, but I’m still learning how to do that… right.” I reach over and squeeze her hand. “I’ve never let anyone in this far. I’ve never fully relied on anyone but Abuelita. It’s scary to hand over that level of trust.”
She looks between us. I don’t know what to say to that. I’ve never been as guarded as she is, never been with anyone guarded like that. I open my mouth to speak, but before I can, she cuts me off.
“It’s okay. I mean, I’m working through it. It’ll just take me some time.” Jenna and I both nod and Leigh quickly changes the subject.
Still, I watch her movements and it doesn’t seem okay.Shedoesn’t. I hope she is actually working through it and not pretending it’s okay when it isn’t.
I wake up to the feeling of the bed shifting and then a hand sliding over my stomach.
“Sorry I’m late,” Vince whispers in my ear. “Nick insisted on one last game of Halo. Did you see my text?”
I shake my head as I turn over to face him. “Nah, I crashed early. I don’t mind waking up to your hand on me, though.”
He cocks an eyebrow and smiles. “Oh, really?”
I slide my hand under his shirt, running it up his toned chest. “Mm.” I smash my lips against his, fisting the inside of his shirt and pulling him closer. There’s nothing I want more than to be closer to him, to feel our connection. I’m grateful for how gentle he was with me today. He had every reason to be mad, to push me away, but instead, he pulled me closer. That’s why I love him so damn much. He never gives up. He holds on tight. And when I’m in his arms, I have no question that I’ve never been safer. He’d give me the entire world if it made me happy. And I’d do the same for him.
“What do you want?” he mutters against my lips in a gravelly tone.
Ugh, straight to my vagina.Not like it needs more reason to throb for him.
“You, Vin. Just you. Always you.” He sucks on my neck, and I let out a moan as I rock my pelvis against him.
A second later, my underwear is on the floor and he’s ripping my shirt off and sliding out of those sinfully tight boxer briefs. I swear those things should be illegal. So. Damn. Sexy.
Lying on his side next to me, he trails his fingers up my thigh, to my hip, where he firmly digs his fingers in before slowly pushing into me.
I gasp at the sensation and wrap my leg around his, pressing against him and allowing him deeper.
“Maia,” he rasps, head dropping against mine.
Our eyes lock and we move together. Slow, controlled, every moment better than the last. The heat of his fingers on my skin takes my breath away. Hands roam as we work each other up, slowly stoking the fire. Flames of passion flare up and burn back until we’re nothing but two glowing embers, smoldering from the inside out for one another.
