I watched him with a smile on my face. Whether he would admit it or not, Lucia’s presence in our lives was bringing out a softer side of him.
When our glasses were full, he handed each of us one. ‘I got a call from my lawyer today. The paperwork making us Lucia’s legal guardians has all been signed off. It’s official. You’re stuck with us for a few months yet, kid,’ he said.
I opened my mouth in surprise and Lucia gave a squeal of delight.
‘Wow! That was quick,’ I said.
He shrugged. ‘I pulled some strings.’
‘Thank you,’ Lucia said, her face shining with happiness.
I swallowed the lump in my throat as we raised a glass in a celebratory toast.
‘I’m so excited, I think I’m going to pee,’ Lucia said with a grin as she stood up from the table. ‘Be right back.’
I watched as she walked to the restroom, with Hank keeping a close eye on her from his vantage point near the front of the restaurant. When she was out of our sight, I turned to Alejandro and placed my hand on his thigh. ‘That was very sweet of you to rush those papers through.’
He scowled at me. ‘That’s the second time tonight I’ve been called sweet, princess. Don’t go making a habit of it.’
‘Well, it was,’ I said as I leaned toward him. ‘I love seeing the softer side of you.’
He edged his face closer to mine. ‘Don’t get used to it, Alana,’ he growled. ‘There is nothing soft about what I’ll be giving you as soon as I get you alone.’
I opened my mouth in mock indignation. ‘Is sex ever far from your mind?’ I whispered.
‘Not when you’re sitting next to me in that dress and see-through panties, princess.’ He leaned even closer until his lips were brushing my ear. ‘If Lucia wasn’t with us, I’d have fucked you in the car on the way here and taken those panties of yours hostage. Then you’d have had to sit here eating your meal with my cum dripping down your thighs,’ he growled.
My insides turned to hot liquid as he planted a single, soft kiss beneath my ear.
‘You’re a devil,’ I whispered and he laughed softly.
‘That’s better,’ he said in his low, growly voice that reverberated through my body.
‘But, seriously, thank you so much for what you did for Lucia. I would have hated her to go back to live with the Bakers.’
‘I know.’
‘Have I ever told you how much I love you?’
‘Not often enough, princess,’ he said as he lifted my hand from his thigh and kissed my fingertips. ‘But I look forward to you showing me later, because our teenage runaway is on her way back over.’
Lucia had eaten so much ice-cream for dessert that she had declared herself fit to burst and after another heartfelt thank you and a round of hugs, had taken herself off to bed as soon as we got home.
‘Do you fancy a quick nightcap?’ I asked Alejandro as we walked down the hallway.
He glared at me, those dark brown eyes almost black as he licked his lips. ‘Okay. My office. Now.’
I swallowed. His office was soundproof. He did keep some of his finest Scotch in there, but we’d usually have a nightcap in the den or out on the patio. There had to be an ulterior motive for him wanting to go there instead. There was nothing soft or sweet about him right now. My fierce devil was back and I loved it.
I walked down the hallway to his office with him close behind me. I stopped at the door. It was locked. He stood behind me, so close that I could feel his hot breath on the back of my neck. He reached in front of me, his hand sliding between me and the door as he slowly keyed in the entry code, prolonging the contact between his wrist and my groin.
Pressing his body against mine, I felt the heat from his skin even through our clothes. Then his other hand snaked around my waist until I was completely caged in by him. He was wearing the cologne I loved and the scent of him was heady and intoxicating. It was a complete, overwhelming assault of the senses and I suspected he knew exactly what he was doing to me.
His breath skated over my neck and our bodies were pressed so tightly together it was hard to fathom where I ended and he began.
‘Voy a follarte tan malditamente duro,’ he growled in my ear and I felt a rush of wet heat between my thighs as my legs trembled. Even if I hadn’t known what that phrase meant, I would have been a quivering mess, but I did know, because he had said it to me so many times before. I’m going to fuck you so damn hard.
Dear God, he was going to nail me into oblivion.
