“Congratulations,” I said.
She smiled at me. “Thanks. Oh, shit. I forgot to bring something heavy up to my room. Byron, can you help me?”
I stared at her. She wanted me to help her? “Um, sure.”
She stood up and motioned for me to follow her. My eyes were glued to her ass the entire way inside.
“Subtle, sis. Really subtle,” Nico called out, and she just grinned at him.
I glanced at him sharply. What was he talking about?
“Here it is,” she said, and motioned to a small table. “I moved it out of my apartment today to put up in my bedroom here. Do you mind?”
“Not at all.” It wasn’t heavy. I could pick it up with one hand. I was going to see her bedroom, I realized, with a shock. Her room was the only bedroom on the fourth floor. There wasalso a ballroom, a library, and an office up there. I’d only ever been to the ballroom. Her brothers’ rooms were all on the third floor, along with some guest rooms.
She opened the door to her room, and I almost gasped. All of the Salazar children’s rooms were nice, but this was incredible compared to her brothers’.
“I know,” she said, looking around. “It’s not really fair. But I’m the only girl, so…” she shrugged. “Both Mom and Dad went a little crazy in here.” She had a study with a desk area, a massive bedroom with a king-size bed, a sitting area, and even a small kitchen. And of course, there was a huge walk-in closet and bathroom connected to her bedroom.
“My God. Why would you ever want to leave?”
“Have you met my mother?” she replied.
I smiled sympathetically. I knew she and her mom butted heads with each other, but I was pretty sure Carmen had succeeded in winning. Her mom had wanted her to be in pageants, debutante balls, cotillions, and those sorts of things. Carmen had refused.
“I did let my apartment go and plan to wait to move until I decide exactly what I’m looking for,” she said. “I’ve had several job offers, and I just have to pick between staying in West Bay or moving somewhere else.”
I nodded.
She plunked down on her couch, not bothered at all that she was still wearing a skimpy bathing suit. Her eyes scanned over me. “Tell me what you’ve been up to, Byron. What are you—twenty?”
“Yes. I’m in school for systems security and coding, right now. I’ll join my father’s security firm after college and training.”
“It’s been a couple of years since I’ve seen you. You’ve… definitely grown up.” She stood up and walked over to me. Sheran her hand up my abs and chest. “My God. These muscles. How did you get all of these?”
I couldn’t speak. I was so shocked by her putting her hands on me. I stared down at her as her hands ran all over my upper body, squeezing my biceps, running her arm over my shoulders, and more.
“I, uh, have been working on the training portion of my father’s security program. I’ve had to become proficient at Jiujitsu and Krav Maga, among other things. And I’ve been working out. Running, weights, that kind of thing.”
“Mmm. Do you still have a crush on me? Because I’d like to play with you for a while.”
I gaped at her. Was she always so straightforward. “I actually have a girlfriend,” I managed to get out. But I didn’t back away from her.
“That’s too bad,” she said, with a wicked gleam in her pretty brown eyes. “She’s missing out this weekend. Her loss is my gain.”
Before I could say anything else, her hand dropped lower, slid inside my swimsuit and clasped around my very hard cock. I gasped, then groaned as her hand begin to expertly work me.
“Let me play with you, Byron,” she whispered, before leaning forward and kissing me. I moved my hands to cradle her jaw and kiss her the way I’d wanted to for years.
When I pulled back, she looked a little dazed. “Wow. That was… nice.”
She was still stroking up and down my cock slowly. Her thumb rubbed the pre-cum into the crown of my dick. It had probably appeared as soon as I’d seen her in a bathing suit. It felt so good my knees almost buckled.
“Come here,” she beckoned, backing towards her bed. She laid back on the pillows. “Take off your swimsuit. I want to see all of you.”
I did as she asked. My hands were shaking. I didn’t want to cheat on Steph, but I’d wanted Carmen for the past seven years. Badly.
I stood before her, cock at attention, and tried not to feel self-conscious as she looked at me for a while.
