I nodded at him and chuckled. “Our knight?”
“Don’t laugh,” he cautioned me. “The man is serious about that shit.” He looked up at me. “So, I have one more question for you.”
Curious, I cocked my head at him.
He stood and stepped over to me. “Can you help me with my shower?”
I looked into his eyes and replied, “Shower? Carlos, you walked up two flights of stairs. You are able to—”
“Yes but now, I’m all sweaty. And I figure maybe you would like a shower too?”
I laughed. “Mierda, is this your sloppy way of hitting on me?”
He wrapped his arms around me and smirked. “Why yes. Yes, it is.”
I laughed again.
“And I wish you wouldn’t do that,” he said.
“Do what?”
“Laugh, it is hot as fuck. I mean when you went all badassKill Billlike that by the elevator, I wanted you bad. But honestly, it is when you smile or laugh. I get hard as nails.” He stepped away. “I don’t… I hardly ever hit on a woman.”
“Yeah, cause you don’t have to.” I scoffed. “Just look at you. Ripped even after being in a coma.”
“I have been blessed,” he joked as he made a motion to flip his hair, like some girl.
I laughed all over again and admitted, “I do know that nobody has ever made me laugh so much.”
“I was sad for too long. I said it before but I now feel alive.” He smiled and went around me to the bathroom. “So, to help me feel even more alive I do wish you would join me. I will be in here.” He went through the door.
I closed my eyes and swallowed hard. I rarely trusted men. In truth, I actuallynevertrusted one. But this man was so damned good looking and up front too. He was making his intentions clear enough. I dared to step over and peek through the bathroom door. I gasped when I saw him undressing. I’d spent several days with him since he awoke and had imagined being with him a time or two. But I never believed it would actually happen. Stepping in, I looked into his eyes.
Just like before, his eyes darkened and filled with fire. “Are you going to join me or what?” he asked.
I swallowed heavily again and unbuttoned my shirt. I couldn’t look away as I stripped my clothes off. When I stood in only my bra and underwear, I saw his intense gaze. I reached behind me to unhook my bra and released my breasts.
He took a step toward me, swept me into his arms and crushed my body to his. “If we do this, I’m keeping you,” he whispered in my ear.
I could feel him as his body was hard and his skin satiny. He was hot to the touch too. He made me feel so many things all at once and no one had ever done that before. I stuck the tip of my tongue out to wet my lips.
Carlos actually groaned at the sight of me doing this.
I couldn’t believe I was about to do this with the man who’d been my sworn enemy for all these years up until just a couple of days ago. “Are you sure you mean this?”
He nodded. “One thing you will learn about me. I never say anything I don’t mean.”
I cocked my head at him with a raised brow. “Are you going to be bossy afterward? Like to have me is to own me?”
He laughed.
I had to admit that I was struck dumb for a moment. Damn, if he wasn’t the sexiest when he laughed too.
“I will try to refrain from doing that. I do realize that you could cut me a new one.” He chuckled.
I really did want this man now and I had a hard time focusing on anything else. “A new one?”
He grinned at me. “I don’t like bleeding. I know I must have done that when I hit that tree, but I am glad I never saw it.”
