‘You can’t disappoint Lucia. I just told you, she’s been excited about this all day,’ I grinned at him.
‘She’ll forgive me when she sees her birthday present,’ he growled as he moved his head and ran his teeth along my jawline before nipping and tugging on my earlobe sending a shiver of pleasure through my entire body.
I laughed as I wrapped my arms around his neck. ‘Actually, she probably will.’
We had only found out yesterday that it was Lucia’s birthday. As well as arranging this birthday meal, Alejandro had ordered her a brand new car and it was being delivered the following morning. I had been surprised by his generosity, not that he couldn’t easily afford such a lavish gift, and he was usually generous with his money, but he had been so resistant to Lucia staying with us. It seemed she was working her way into his affections despite his insistence that she would be out of our lives as soon as possible. I looked up at him and smiled.
He smiled back at me and I felt a rush of wet heat as he pressed his body against mine. ‘I’m going to tear those panties off you as soon as we get back home then,’ he growled in my ear before he sealed his lips against mine, licking along the seam until I opened my mouth, allowing his tongue to swirl against mine. I leaned against him as my legs started to tremble.
‘Oh my God! Can’t you guys keep your hands off each other for like two minutes?’ Lucia sighed behind us.
Alejandro removed his hand from my ass and I turned to see her walking down the stairs in a beautiful aqua blue dress which was the perfect tone for her skin.
‘You look beautiful,’ I said to her with a smile as she walked toward us. She stopped at the bottom of the stairs and gave us a twirl.
‘You certainly do, chica,’ Alejandro agreed.
She blushed slightly and walked toward us. ‘Gracias,’ she said quietly.
An hour later, we were sitting on the terrace of the restaurant. I looked out over the ocean and gave a contented sigh.
‘I think this is the most beautiful view I have ever seen in my life,’ I said.
‘I couldn’t agree more, princess,’ Alejandro said as he winked at me and I realized he wasn’t talking about the ocean.
Lucia giggled as she looked at the two of us.
‘What’s so funny?’ I asked.
‘You two,’ she replied. ‘You’re so sweet together.’
‘Sweet?’ Alejandro asked with a frown.
‘Yeah. Like whenever you’re near to each other, you’re always touching.’
I almost choked on the mouthful of water I’d just taken. ‘What?’ I spat. Had she noticed Alejandro’s hand squeezing my thigh a few minutes earlier? No. She’d been reading her menu and his hand had been under the table. It had been perfectly innocent compared to what he usually did when we were in a restaurant together.
She started to laugh louder. ‘I don’t mean like that. I mean look at you now. Your shoulders and hips are touching. Alejandro has brushed your hand or your arm at least half a dozen times. Most couples don’t sit that close together at a restaurant, you know. At least most that I’ve ever known. I just think it’s sweet how much you guys are into each other, that’s all,’ she said with a shrug.
‘I don’t think I’ve ever been called sweet before in my entire life,’ Alejandro said as he picked up his glass and took a drink of his wine. Then he sat back against the seat and put his arm around me.
‘I never said you were sweet,’ Lucia said with a roll of her eyes. ‘I’ve just never really seen a couple like you two before.’
‘What about your mom and dad?’ I asked and I felt Alejandro tense beside me.
‘No way.’ Lucia shook her head and picked up a bread roll. ‘They… Well, they weren’t like that at all.’ She sniffed before taking a bite from her bread.
‘Wait until you taste the lobster here, Lucia. It’s incredible,’ Alejandro said in an obvious attempt to change the subject.
We had finished our meal and were waiting for dessert when the waiter brought over a bottle of champagne to our table and placed three flutes down in front of us.
‘Gracias,’ Alejandro said as though he was expecting it and the waiter smiled and walked away.
‘What’s this for?’ I asked.
‘I have something to tell you both,’ he grinned as he lifted the bottle from the bucket and popped the cork. ‘And before you get too excited, Lucia, this is practically alcohol free,’ he said with a flash of his eyebrows.
‘Damn!’ she said with a grin as Alejandro filled our glasses.
