“I know. And my mother can’t explain it away. She saw it happen with her own eyes. Isabella told me Mama’s been very quiet these past two weeks. Even more so this past week.”
“At least she’s not blaming you.”
“She tried, but Isabella shut her down. Apparently, Carlos has been getting more controlling lately. That’s why he lost it when I didn’t obey him and stop wearing makeup. And then Evan showed up in all his glory on Easter.”
I chuckled. “No one is telling Evan what to do.”
Miguel checked his watch. “I have to get back to work. We’re planning more events in the summer this year, so Sean asked me to come up with some suggestions. I’ll be done by seven and meet you in the dining room.”
I stood. “Sounds good.” I took Miguel’s hand and pulled him to his feet. “I like that I get to kiss you goodbye.”
He melted into me and looped his arms around my neck. “And you get to kiss me hello, good morning, and good night too.”
I leaned down and captured his lips in a soft kiss that turned hard and dirty when he opened for me and our tongues tangled together. I backed him against his desk and slid my thigh between his legs, feeling the hard length of his cock rub against my hip. My hands moved down to cup his firm, round ass and he groaned into my mouth. My hips ground into his, starting a rhythm he took up eagerly. Heat pooled in my belly, and all I wanted to do was bend him over his desk and fuck him.
The thought brought me up short. We were at work. And we hadn’t talked about anal sex at all. And even though I’d seen a lot of it in the porn I watched and read about it in the romance novels, I was worried about hurting him.
I slowed down my kiss and drew slightly away from him. He moaned in protest but finally pulled away from my mouth. I rested my forehead against his while we both panted and tried to catch our breath. “Well, that escalated quickly,” he quipped.
I chuckled quietly and stepped back. “We didn’t get enough time together last night. I fell asleep.”
“We’ll have time tonight and all day tomorrow,” he said, putting his arms around my waist. “Is Robbie still meeting you here at five?”
“Yeah. We might take a walk on the boardwalk and then come back when your shift is over. Do you want to have dinner here?”
“Sure. Oh, I invited Albert to join us. I hope that’s okay.”
I kissed him again because I couldn’t help it. “Of course it’s okay. He’s your best friend. I think he and Robbie will get along just fine.”
“With what you’ve told me about Robbie, I’m sure they will. They can talk about makeup all night.”
I pulled him close again. “Hopefully not all night. I have plans to spend time with you. Alone. In bed.”
A sexy smile curved his lips. “I like that idea very much.”
I sighed and stepped back from him. “I’d better go before I get us both in trouble.”
I kissed him one more time and then made myself leave his office. I decided to wait in the lobby mostly because I didn’t want to get pulled into working by returning to the dining room. I sat on one of the overstuffed chairs and pulled out my phone.
Me
I finally talked to Miguel.
Allie
How did it go???????
Me
Great. Really, really great.
My phone vibrated with a call. I laughed when I answered. “Hey, Allie.”
“How great?” she demanded. “Was it we-kissed great or we-disturbed-the-neighbors great?”
“Do you really want the answer to that question?” I asked. “Because I’m not sure you actually want the details of my sex life.”
“Ew. No. But come on, give me something,” she wheedled.
