Twice.
Three times.
So maddening slow, my body shook with a force more potent than my high-intensity vibrator.
I moaned so loud I swore the roof shook above me. Gripping my head between my hands, I squeezed as my orgasm built at lightning speed. My tin trailer house spun as if a tornado had ripped it off the foundation. I closed my eyes, feeling woozy as I whirled into the clouds.
Dorthy’s voice cut through my pleasure.There’s no place like…No! I didn’t want to hear her. She wasn’t welcome in my home. She wasn’t invited into my world.
Stop. Stop. Stop!
“Roja? Baby, was I hurting you?” His hand pressed to my cheek and wiped under my eyes. “Fuck,mi vida. I thought you enjoyed this.”
“I was. I mean, I am.” So when did I start crying? Was I losing my mind?
He kissed my lips softly. A breath hung in my lungs at the sight of worry in his eyes. “You cried out for me to stop.”
“What?” I hadn't even realized I had said that aloud. One phone call from my dad was all it took to have him in my head again. Shit, this wasn’t good.
“You yelled for me to stop, and I did.” He stroked my cheek with his thumb. “I’d never hurt you, baby. Never.”
“You didn’t.”
Was he serious? I’d yelled for him to stop? I guessed being enraptured did crazy things to someone.
“Let’s eat breakfast.” He went to pull away, but I reached for him.
“No. Don’t leave me.”
He studied me. I wished he could read my mind. Make it all better.
“I’m here. I’ll never leave you.” He scooped me into his arms. “Never, Roja.”
I curled into him, pressing my lips below his ear. “We need to talk.” I had to bring Hero up to speed on my hidden secrets. If we were going to be together, he needed to know what he signed up for. I’d give him an out. Release him from the madness that wasme.
Why?
Because I loved him.
I needed to choose my words carefully. I didn’t want Hero to feel obligated to be with me. I didn’t want his pity. I didn’t want anyone to look at me like I was an unrepairable woman.
Fuck that shit.Don’t think like that, Tara!
I’d held my own against the Wizard, aka Dad. I was a survivor. A badass bitch. I might have lost my bearings for a few weeks after Hero fucked with my emotions. Regressed a bit, burning myself again. I was only human. But I’d picked myself up, dusted off the ashes, and called Dr. Kelly.
I didn’t need no man to fix me. Care for me. Love me.
I didn’tneedHero Fuentes to be happy.
But Iwantedhim.
To want and need were very different. I could admit I desired him with every cell in my body. I could admit I dreamed about a future with him. Longed for it.
If that irresistible Latino did me wrong again, I’d drop his ass so fast and be gone before he could make sense of what happened.
Hero carried me back to bed and tucked me in. He removed his pants, joining me seconds later.
I rested my head on his solid chest and absorbed his heat as his arms wrapped around me, lips pressed to my forehead. I wantedthismore than I’d ever wanted anything.
