Love in Bloom (De La Fuente Family 3)

As she ran her fingers over his short strands while he kissed and nuzzled her breasts, she realized that over the past eighteen months, she’d fallen in love with him and hoped that he really would be able to put the past behind him.

Chapter Twenty-Five

The past few days with Erin had been amazing and Mateo tried not to think of anything bad happening to put an end to it all.

Erin felt right in his life and in his family home, and what could have been a huge hurdle after what she’d been paid to do turned out really well. His family had surprised him with how accepting they’d been once the truth had been told. He should have expected them to react that way though, since his family had always been easy to forgive. His only regret was that he hadn’t been honest with them from the start. That had been wrong of him and he’d regret it for a while to come.

But today he’d put it to the back of his mind because it was his brother’s wedding and the day that his family welcomed Sylvia officially to their family. He couldn’t wait.

Mateo was glad that Eric had found Sylvia, she seemed to settle his soul and made him smile just like his woman made him smile.

His woman.

From the moment he’d seen her at the airport, his libido had sat up and taken notice. He’d reacted once or twice in the past to her body, at least in the beginning before she’d been around his family. After that his libido had died a slow dea

th, but it had certainly perked up when he’d seen her innocence.

That innocence had driven him crazy until he’d finally tasted her, and then it hadn’t really slackened any once he had. She certainly kept him on his toes and he planned on showing her just how desperate he was after the wedding.

Erin was frustrated with him for withholding his cock from her, but no way did he want to hurt her, which he would if he hadn’t forced her to wait.

When she’d disappeared into the bathroom with her dress, she’d told him he wouldn’t be able to keep his hands to himself, so when he heard the creak of the door, he watched in eagerness.

She sure as hell lived up to his fantasy in the lilac colored dress. It fitted her breasts so perfectly that it was a wonder she could breathe.

“I look okay, right?” Erin fidgeted with the dress as she twirled around for him. His eyes were more focused on the silver high heels that she had on her feet. They did amazing things to her legs that he had trouble keeping his eyes off.

He smirked when she faced him, hands on her hips. “I take it you like what you see?”

“You’ve no idea, baby.” He tugged her into his arms and pressed a small kiss to her lips. “I’m imagining you naked, wearing only those shoes.” He smiled against her lips at the mischief in her eyes.

“I’m sure that can be arranged,” she teased, her hands lightly caressing the growing bulge behind his zipper.

“Don’t tempt me.” He kissed her quickly. “We have a wedding that we’ll be late for if we don’t leave now.”

She pinched his ass, which didn’t help his arousal any before she turned and grabbed her purse. “We better leave then.”

This time he really looked at her and gasped. She was beautiful. Her locks flowed in waves down her back, she wore minimal makeup and her dress fit her delicious curves to perfection. It came down to just above her knees.

His heart pounded with how sexy she looked all dressed up for his brother’s wedding, but once again his eyes dropped to her legs.

Her chuckle brought his head up to meet her gaze. “You are going to be the one making us late.” She straightened his tie and let her hand trail down the front of his shirt. “I can’t wait to undo this later.”

He growled and grabbed her hand. “Let’s go before I can’t go anywhere until I’ve—”

“Stop, right there,” Erin interrupted him, her eyes heated. “I can’t think about,” she waved her hand in front of his crotch, “about, well…um, oh, what the hell. I don’t want to be thinking about your cock when we have to leave.”

He was stunned by her words before he burst into laughter. She made him feel like a teenager. “Why? Your little panties wet?”

She grabbed his hand and pulled him out the bedroom as she teased, “They would be if I had any on.”

With her parting comment, they walked down the quiet hallway, and then the stairs where the last minute preparations were under way, while he wondered if he’d survive the day.

All that was in his head was the fact that she had no panties on. His woman certainly knew how to tease him.

He’d never felt more alive as he did with Erin.

Before they reached the bottom of the stairs, he held her back and moved in front of her. Going to one knee while he hoped his injured one would hold up, he did what he’d wanted to do since he saw her in the silver heels.
