“What?”
“You begged me to take you last night.”
“And?”
“And I liked it.”
Her stomach muscles contracted. Suddenly her lips felt puffy and sensitive as she remembered just how thoroughly he’d kissed her. “Marcos, this will be very complicated in Chicago.”
“It doesn’t have to be.”
A thousand butterflies fluttered in her chest. “You expect we can keep this up?”
“We touched. We made love four times in one night. Do you expect we can stop by Monday?”
They’d touched. His tanned, long hands had been somewhere in her body, and hers had been somewhere in his. She couldn’t bear to remember. “What do you…suggest?”
“Nobody has to know about us. And my suggestion is to continue.”
Her body trembled. Little places zinged and pinged as though reminding her just, exactly, where his hands had been. “Continue.”
He leaned against the window and his hand slowly fisted high up on the windowsill. “I swear I’ve never seen anything lovelier than you, naked. Your breasts.”
She closed her eyes, sucking in a breath, willing herself not to remember what he’d done there. How he’d squeezed or cradled or…
“Marcos…”
“You cried out my name when I was inside you.”
Oh, God. Yes, she had, yes, she had. Had she no honor? No pride when it came to him? No digni—
“I couldn’t sleep for wanting to take you again.” He smiled sadly. “You kept cuddling against me and I kept growing hard. I had to…shower.”
Wrapping her arms around her shaking frame, she asked, “Do you want to?”
“To what?”
“Make love to me again.”
And he said…
“Yes.”
Her stomach exploded. He wanted her. Still. More than yesterday? Marcos still wanted her. But they couldn’t continue in Chicago. They couldn’t.
His arm fell at his side as he spun around and pinned her with a smile. “Eat up, though. We’re going sightseeing.”
She set down her coffee mug before she spilled it all over herself. “Really?”
“Of course. Really. We’re flying over the city on a chopper first. Then we’ll lunch downtown.”
“A chopper.”
“Are you concerned?”
“Actually, no. Excited.”
She dug into the eggs, the waffles and the tea.
