“But… he can be lethal,” I said. The words tasted like acid on my tongue. “But I will only admit that to you, hermoso.”

Manny laughed and the sound made me shiver. Mierda, I loved that sound.

We stared out at the ocean for a while, the silence a comfortable feeling between us, until Manny snuggled up closer, resting his head on my shoulder.

“What happens now? Papá won’t be happy I shot Felix.”

“He won’t hurt you. I’ll make sure of it.”

“I know you will.” He pushed himself up on his tiptoes and tilted his chin, and I kissed him, carefully teasing his lips.

“Come on, let’s forget about your papá for the night.” I stepped away from him and reached for the hem of my shirt, sliding the fabric higher as I stared at Manny, studying his reaction. He watched my hands, swallowing as more of my skin was exposed.

“What are you doing?” he whispered.

I carefully pulled the shirt over my head. My pants and underwear went next, and I slid them down to my ankles and then stepped out of my clothes.

“Thio….” Manny gasped, his breath catching as his focus narrowed on my exposed cock. “Why are you naked?” Even as he asked, he stepped closer and licked his lips.

“Because we’re going for a swim.”

“A swim?” He glanced from me to the ocean, frowning.

I laughed and crooked my finger at him. “Get naked.”

Not waiting to see if he’d do it, I ran toward the water, jumping across the small waves that crashed against the beach and then diving when it got deep enough to do it.

“Thio!” Manny’s amused yell was what I heard when I came out from under the water, and when I looked, I saw him running toward the ocean and me, naked as I was. He laughed as he dived as well, and when he broke the surface he was close to me. His gaze landed on my arm and his eyes widened. “Your injury.”

I glanced at my arm, not noticing the sting until now, and shrugged. “It’s fine. I’ve had worse.”

“Thio—”

He reached for me, but I grabbed him, yanking him closer until our bodies were flush against each other. There was no way to miss the hardness growing against my side, and I thanked California and the warm water that came with the heat.

“You’re beautiful,” I whispered, brushing back the wet dark hair that clung to his forehead.

“I….” Manny smiled and slammed his mouth against mine. I kissed him roughly and cupped his cheek, his skin warm against my palm. Need clenched in my gut and it took everything in me not to react irrationally. He was a virgin, and I never wanted to push Manny into anything, even if he was a full-grown adult. He’d been locked away for years. It was easy to fall into fear, and I never wanted Manny to be scared of me—never.

“Thio. Fuck.” He threw himself at me, wrapping his arms around my shoulders and his legs around my waist. I grabbed him, held him against me as we kissed like our lives depended on it. Our cocks touched and I groaned into his mouth. “Please, I need you.”

Mierda. That wasn’t a request I could deny. I carried him, my hands grasping at his ass to hold him against me until we were out of the water. Lowering him to the beach, I covered his body with mine and ran a palm down his thigh and to his cock.

“Thio.” He said my name like a chant, over and over again, in reverent little whispers that made my skin buzz with need.

“I have you, Manny. I’ve got you, hermoso.” I wrapped my hand around both our cocks and tugged them together. Rocking my hips with the movement, I rubbed my uncut head against his and he arched his back, shivering.

“Oh my God,” he groaned, face flushed and wet mouth open. He looked so beautiful like this—desperate for my touch.

“I want to see you come. Can you come for me? Come for your jefe?”

Manny grasped my shoulders and whimpered, his body trembling. His cock jerked against mine and he clenched his eyes closed, his grip tightening. “Please.”

“Come for me. That’s an order, hermoso. I want your cum.”

“Joder.”

He stiffened and his cock jerked harder against mine. Cum spurted from his slit, splattering warmly across both our stomachs. I wasn’t far behind him, and my balls drew close to my body. Excitement burned hot in my stomach and I knew it was all fucking over. My orgasm ripped through me and my own splooge shot from my cock, mixing with Manny’s quickly cooling cum.

He laughed, wiping at his sweaty forehead. “Wow.”

I grinned at him and slithered down his body. When I reached his stomach, I stuck out my tongue, swiping it through the evidence of what had happened. Manny shoved himself up on his elbows, eyes wide out here by the water where there wasn’t much light from the mansion.

“What are you doing?” he whispered.

I showed him the glob of cum on my tongue before I closed my mouth, swallowing. The bitterness ran down my throat. “What does it look like?” I teased. “Here, want a taste?”

The way he rocked his hips, just a bit, was all the answer I needed. I gathered more on my tongue and then pushed myself up so my mouth hovered near his. He hesitated and then bit his lip before he surged forward, slamming his mouth against mine. He ate at the cum on my tongue like a hungry man, and I let him, enjoying the vibrating moan that ripped through his chest.

Shaking my head, I stroked down his cheek and chin. “You are the most amazing man I’ve ever met, hermoso.”

Manny swallowed, groaned, and leaned his head against mine. “Yo también te amo, Jefe.”

I love you, too, Boss.

The words made my chest constrict, and I kissed him more gently this time. “Let’s wash this sand off in the ocean and go to that party. Tomorrow, you can teach me to surf.”

His vibrant and happy grin made my night.
