But with this hulk of a man, I find that it’s kind of adorable that he’s trying not to stare. That he only steals his glances.
“Do what?” I lick my lips. His eyes drop to them.
“That,” he grits out.
“Lick my lips?” I do it again. “Now that you said it, that's all I can think about.” My tongue darts out again to wet them. He grunts, turning to give me his broad back. My fingers itch to run my hands up it.
I’ve seen a lot of men come and go from my father’s home, but none have been as big as him. I bet people stare at him too. I’m finding I can’t help myself.
“You can stare at me. I don’t mind.”
He glances over his shoulder at me.
I snort a laugh. I put my hand over my mouth to not laugh harder as he sends a glare my way. He looks adorable. I bet no one has ever described him that way before. “What’s your name?” I ask.
“Fernando.” He turns back around to face me. “What is your game here?” he asks me again.
“You’re the one that kidnapped me.”
“Yes but—”
“Did you hear that?” I slip off the bed. He snags me around the waist, pulling me into his body. His hand goes over my mouth. We stand there completely still. I tilt my head back to try and look up at him. His head is cocked to the side, and I think he’s listening for sound. My body relaxes into his. Something presses hard into my back. I’m guessing it’s his gun.
“Meow.”
“Hmm!” I try to speak from behind his hand. I start to struggle to get free of his hold. There is a cat! He can’t possibly expect me to be quiet when there is a furbaby in the vicinity.
“Don’t do that.” He drops his hand from my mouth. The one around my waist, however, stays wrapped around me.
“Do what?” He keeps saying that. “Breathing?”
“You’ll continue to breathe,” he orders.
I laugh but stop when I hear another meow.
“There’s a kitten.” I don’t know why I whisper it, but I do.
“Stay put.” He releases his hold on me, pulling a gun out from the back of his pants. I thought it had been in the front.Oh. Heat rushes my face when I realize what was poking into my back. Fernando leaves the bedroom.
I wait a few seconds before I lean out to see down the hallway. I watch as he slowly opens the door, revealing a tiny kitten standing in front of it.
“A kitten!” I squeal, rushing down the hallway.
“I told you to stay put.” Fernando leans down and scoops the kitten up into his hand. It appears even smaller in his giant mitt. It’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. I reach out to pet it. Fernando brings it into his chest as he kicks the door back closed.
“It’s so fluffy.” It is pure white with the bluest eyes. “Can we keep it?”
“Keep it?”
“We can’t leave it outside all alone. Who would do such a cruel thing?” He stares down at me, his brows pulled together. Suspicion is written all over his face. “Please,” I start to beg. “I’ll be like the best kidnapped person ever. I promise.”
“You already said you would.”
“Well, I can start being bad.” I raise my chin the same way I’ve seen Angelica do when she was ready to go toe to toe with anyone.
“You already are. I told you to stay in the bedroom.”
“How about I stay in the bedroom with the kitten?” I suggest. Before he can respond, another meow comes from the other side of the door. “Another!” I try to open it, but Fernando blocks me, handing over the kitten.
