“You are cartel, Carlos...or you were. And you get the hee A Mafia Enemies-to-Lovers Romancebies over blood?”
He shrugged. “I told you I never wanted to draw blood,” he paused. “Except for…” He shook his head. “Now I will only do that to save you or me.”
Staring at him, my body tingled all over as my heart beat a little faster. Yes, I could see this about him now. He was known as cold blooded, a true killer. But what did they say about rumors? Most weren’t true. I realized I was probably more dangerous than he was. “If we do this, does it mean I will belong to you and you will be mine too?” I wanted to make sure we had no misunderstanding about this.
“That’s what it means,” he told me unconditionally. “And I don’t share.”
“Good, because I don’t either. You step out on me and I’m gone.” I narrowed my eyes at him to add, “And yes, there might be blades involved.”
Carlos stared at me for a few seconds, then he tilted his head back and laughed.
I bit at my lip again. Yeah, that was a bit much, but I was nobody’s fool. And I would never allow myself to be made into one either.
He finally slowed his laughter and grabbed my upper arms. “You just do not know. I barely dated. I also never ran around with women much, like most of my men liked to do. I felt like it needed to have meaning to it. Yet, I couldn’t have anyone getting too close and you know why. It would be more than dangerous to their life. So I avoided most females. But to be honest and to sound corny I think I’m just a one-woman man.”
“And I am happy for that especially if I am that ONE woman.”
Again, he laughed. “That is what I was fumbling around trying to say. I’ve waited for this time in my life that I believed would never come. And I want you to be my one woman, Selena.”
My heart was pounding fast in my chest. He was telling me that this was not a one-night stand. That he meant it to be permanent. I’d never felt this way before either. This man wasdifferent from any I’d met and I wanted him. A part of my soul recognized his. I couldn’t resist his offer of sharing a night or maybe a life together. I just plain didn’t want to resist it. The tension between us ever since I’d first met him was a disturbing thing. I know it was, but it had been my doing. I blamed him for events he had nothing to do with. He wasn’t even in the country back then.
“Look. I don’t know what…” He pushed his fingers through his dark hair. “…what it is but ever since I first saw you, I’ve wanted to taste you. I’ve wanted to show you how good it could be between us.”
I looked him in the eyes and whispered, “Show me what you got then.”
He smirked. “Chingar, I love the way you boss me around.” Carlos lifted me completely off the ground.
Surprised at his strength, I wrapped my legs around his waist as he pressed my body against the wall and his lips touched mine for the first time. The explosion of pure color behind my eyelids astounded me and an instant fire lit in my blood. I moaned at the power of his body and the flavor of his lips…heady and explosive all at the same time.
Carlos deepened the kiss and he growled as he pushed his tongue into my mouth. His hands spread out and massaged my ass. My ass globes seemed to excite him as he ground his hard cock against me.
I whimpered in need, as I got wet from the friction he was creating. I tore my mouth away from his breathless wild kiss and stared into his eyes. Wow… was all that went through my head.
He stared back at me as we were both panting hard from the wild kiss.
“I want you. I want you so badly,” I admitted in a whisper.
“That’s all I needed to hear.” He kissed me again while moving us out of the bathroom and over to the bed. He lightlytossed me down on the mattress and followed me down. His body covered mine.
“I-I thought we were going to take a shower?” I asked.
He scoffed. “We will need one afterward and I think our first time needs to be in a bed.”
I agreed. I inhaled his scent and he did not smell sweaty at all. I found it to be so fucking sexy and I wondered how a man’s natural scent could be so enticing as it gave me actual goose bumps. Maldito, he was the best smelling man I’d ever—I’d rarely been this close to a man, except to use my blade or knock him down… but damn, he smelled good. I rubbed my hands over his arms and shoulders as I marveled at his leanly muscled form all over again. I wrapped my arms around his neck and held him to me. I kissed him and this time it was my tongue in his mouth, my tongue wrestling with his. I loved how he allowed me to lead if I wanted to.
Finally, he broke my kiss to look into my eyes.
Chapter Eight:On A Rocket
Carlos
I suckled her neck and I could feel her pulse jump. My heart pounded in my chest just as hard as I reached down for her panties. Slipping my hand under the band, I could feel how wet she was. I pushed two fingers into her and felt her response then I pushed them in and pulled them out. With my free hand, I rolled her silk panties downward over her thighs and down her legs, getting rid of any barrier we had between us.
I paused and actually licked my lips in anticipation of what I would immerse myself in next. Lowering my mouth, I latched onto her clit, sucking in her sweet flavor.
“Ohhh!” Selena moaned.
I slowly licked her up and down as I kept pumping my fingers. Santo inferno, she was as delicious as I thought she would be. I think I could get addicted to this flavor. I allowed my instincts to lead me as I was a bit rusty when it came to sex. I hadn’t lied to her before as I had few and far between encounters with women ever since I entered the work of my family. But this sensual woman made it easy to take this journey. Damn, was she a hot treat.
