“Temptation Got Me” by Homegrown
The sun rises, glaring down on me as I lay awake…as I have all night. After getting the horrifying text from Marío, an image that I beg my brain to forget, I’ve kept myself locked away in my bedroom. My brother, that sweet boy I’ve loved and protected my entire life, looks like a shell of who he was. He visited with me for hours as we cried together and talked about Lydia. We found out that her parents have a search team looking for her, fundraisers to offer a reward for her whereabouts posted all over social media.
I want nothing more than to tell them all that she’s gone and never returning, but I can’t.
Even if I could, I wouldn’t.
I should have called her back,I think remorsefully to myself. The constant sorrow that I’ve felt all night flows through me as I think of how I never really let her in. How I ignored her texts and calls since getting my phone back. I’m such a shitty friend who wasn’t worthy of her.
Now my brother wants to hand himself over to protect me. The selfish bastard who let our friend die.
I understand that he feels it’s his duty, the man’s job, a stigma our father and mother have instilled in him, but there’s never been a bone in my body that yearned for his protective side. It’s me who has always been the one to put myself between him and danger. From bullets flying on the streets, to keeping him from getting himself expelled from school for fighting every jerk that looked at me or him wrongly when he was a hothead teenager.
Now he wants to be the barrier between me and the world, despite the fact that not only can I care for myself, but I also have two more protective giants before me. Men who were bred for this life and can navigate it far better than we can.
I sigh when I think of them and the lives they’ve been forced to endure.
I know something happened between them last night, a change that occurred without me present. I’m not mad about it, I knew things would change in the privacy of their own bubble just as it all went to shit in their hidden spot on the beach.
Still, things are moving too fast and I want to see every detail of it. I want to witness it all, I want to kiss them hard and fall in love with them even harder.
I haven’t said this out loud before, but with their damnable need to run headfirst into danger, my baby brother taking the point, I fear I won’t ever get the chance to tell them how I feel.
Will I miss it all before I even get it?
Will Marío take one more person from me before I’ve had the real chance of tasting this growing love between us?
I can’t let it happen.I won’t let it happen.
I roll over and stare at Alvaro’s sleeping face. Memorizing the rise and fall of his profile.
Today is the day he and my brother will leave and go back to the north side. They’ll be gone for however long it takes to get the ball rolling on ending Marío, but today I plan to beg for some time.
I just need some time to come up with my own plan, one that doesn’t involve my brother sacrificing himself for me like apendejo.
“I can feel you staring,Bruja.” Alvaro’s sleepy voice penetrates the silence and the sorrow in my heart.
I smile to myself, closing my eyes and feigning sleep as he opens his. I stay as still as I can, forcing myself not to smile or breathe too quickly. I feel him move, rolling over to face me, before he hums under his breath.
“I guess I was wrong,” he says softly to himself and I almost grin, but I hold myself still until suddenly, his fingers are digging into my ribs. I squeak and try to roll away, but he grabs my waist, pulling my back flush to his bare chest. I wiggle against him when his fingers drag up my ribs again, making him groan in my ear. His hand grips my hip, holding me still.
“Baby,” he breathes, “if you keep rubbing your ass on my cock, I’m going to rip your panties off and fuck you beside Romero.”
I don’t know if he sees it or not, but I spot the slight smirk that forms on Romero’s sleeping face. His words the other day, when I told him I wanted them both, come back to me.
You want both of us fucking you, don’t you?
I push my ass back, grinding against Alvaro’s hard cock as I whisper over my shoulder.
“Prove it.”
He curses in Spanish, his hand moving lower to my pussy, cupping me over my panties and dragging a single finger between my lips. I moan as he rubs me, pressing on my clit as I roll hips for more.
“You’re wet for me, aren’t you,Bruja?”
“Yes,” I whisper, biting my lip when he gives me a rumbling hum of approval.
I help him push my panties down, kicking them off and sighing when he closes my legs and slides his cock between them, the crown sliding through my wet pussy.
