Avery’s smile melted my heart. “Every night, hotshot.”
I pressed my forehead to hers, thinking about the truck out front. No one would guess what we were doing, right? No one would know.
“What if we continued what we’ve started and deal with the truck later?” I asked.
“That sounds like a perfect idea to me.”
CHAPTER FIFTEEN
Avery
I couldn’t stop kissing him.
After dreaming about this moment for so damn long, it was even sweeter than I’d imagined. Hotter too.
My hands slid down his muscled chest and I grabbed the hem of his shirt, giving it a tug.
Mateo smirked. “Need something, Blue?”
“Shut up,” I hissed, pulling it over his head.
Damn. I’d seen Mateo shirtless before. So many times in the summer over the last couple years, our group would end up around a pool drinking beers and trying to stay cool. But there was something different about having him shirtless right in front of me,justfor me.
I was going to implode. My heart pounded as he gently took my wrists and lifted them, pinning them above my head to the wall behind me. His mouth brushed mine and I parted my lips, hungry for more.
He was a damn good kisser.
A soft moan slipped out and he responded by tightening his grip on my wrists.
“You keep making the prettiest fucking sounds,mi cielo.”
Heat pooled at my core. His mustache was soft against my skin as he leaned down and trailed kisses over my neck, brushing this spot that made me shiver involuntarily. Pleasure sparked everywhere he touched or kissed until I was moving my hips.
“I’m desperate,” I moaned.
“I’m going to take care of you. I promise.”
He released my wrists and looped his fingers in the band of my shorts. My mouth dropped as he tugged them down and knelt as they hit the floor. He pushed my thighs apart and I became all too aware of the fact that I was almost naked in front of Mateo.
Mateo.
He looked up at me and gave my tank top a tug. “I want you to take this off. I want to see you naked and needy while I make you come on my tongue for breakfast.”
“Oh god,” I rasped.
I did as he said, though, and took my top off. I wasn’t wearing anything underneath it. Goosebumps pricked my skin as he looked up at me, his eyes warm with adoration. His gaze made me want to melt into the floor and hide.
His palm slid up and down the side of my thigh, tracing lines with his fingertips. “What is it?”
“I haven’t done this in so long. I’m nervous you’ll not . . .”
His brows raised. “That I’ll what?”
“I don’t know,” I said quickly, my cheeks flaming. “Not be attracted to me? I?—”
“Avery.”
He was quick. I squeaked as he stood up, grabbed hold of my hips, and spun me around against the wall.Fuck.The denim of his jeans brushed my ass as he pressed himself against me, his words firm in my ear.
