“I need lube. It’s in my room, the room I want you to share with me, on the bedside table.” I cupped his cheek and kissed him again.

Manny was off me again before I could say anything else, and he nearly ran out of the door. I would have laughed if I didn’t think about who would see his naked body, but then I realized it didn’t matter because everyone had already seen him tonight. They knew he was mine, and I doubted anyone would be stupid enough to try anything after Arlo’s attempt.

A minute later he was back with the bottle of lube in his hand. His excited grin made heat spread through me, and I crooked my finger at him. He nearly tripped over his own feet to get to me. I laughed and took the lube from him so he could sit on my lap again.

“What happens after the labs?” he asked when I flicked open the lid of the bottle and squeezed some lube on my fingers.

“The product is packed.” I dragged Manny closer and kept one hand splayed across his lower back, angling him so our chests touched, before I slipped a finger between his asscheeks and found his hole. I slid in easily, but I didn’t expect otherwise seeing as I’d already fucked him thoroughly tonight. “Any discomfort? I was rough earlier.”

He shook his head, eyelashes fluttering against his face as though he was fighting to keep his eyes open. “Feels so good.”

“Good.” Another finger joined the first and his tightness on my digits made my cock twitch in anticipation. “They’re packed and then we distribute to the various routes into the country.” I kissed up his jawline, light touches of my lips against his skin. “We have a few different methods of getting them across the border, so if one is burned, we can continue to use the others. Some of our mules come by boat along the California coastline, some are truckers driving products into America, and some are immigrants looking for a better life.”

His eyes finally slid shut and he moaned, leaning his forehead against mine. I fucked him with my fingers until I felt he was more than adequately ready. Using the remaining lube on my hand, I wetted my cock. He moved until his chest was pressed against me, and I lined the head at his hole.

“Then what?” he whispered, lips so close to mine that I could feel the puff of his breath.

I speared my cock into him until I was balls deep and he was gasping for air. His warmth and tightness consumed me, and I thought I’d come right then, filling his hole before it even really began, but fortunately I had the experience to hold myself back. I curled my arms around him, dragging him against my body in a tight hug. He buried his face into my neck and his chest heaved in fast breaths.

“Once over the border, the easy work begins,” I whispered into his ear. “We take it from the mules or simply unload it, distribute it, and sell it on the streets. We have guys who peddle it to the rich and the not so rich. Whoever can pay upfront.” I spread my legs, feet planted firmly on the floor so I could get the perfect position to piston myself into him, and that’s exactly what I did. I drew my cock out and then thrust back in hard, rocking my hips.

He grasped my arms, taking the brunt of my thrusts with moans of pleasure. The sounds he made were sweet to my ears, and I wanted to do everything in my power to hear it every day for the rest of my life. I wanted Manny at my side. Mi alma gemela—my soulmate.

“The money goes to cash houses and we clean it through Noa’s salons and our other businesses,” I said, holding him tighter, though I didn’t know if that was possible. He was already pressed against me to the point it felt like we were one. His cock was trapped between us, and with every thrust it slid against our stomachs, giving him enough friction that he might shoot soon. “Come for me, hermoso. Show your Jefe how much you love me.”

He groaned and bit down on my neck, which made me jolt in surprise. His teeth would leave a mark on my skin, and I wasn’t sure if that was what he wanted, but either way, every limb in my body turned hot and sensitive and my balls felt heavy. I was so fucking close it hurt.

He stiffened against me, rocking his cock against our bodies before he whimpered and groaned and his cum splattered across our stomachs. I wasn’t far behind him. Between his touch and the way he whispered my name, I was lost in pleasure. It only took two more thrusts, and I threw my head back, filling his hot, willing body. I groaned, shuddered, and then collapsed against the leather chair. He fell against my chest, and we were both breathing heavily.

“Wow,” he whispered.

I laughed, my injured arm stinging at the exertion now that desire didn’t cloud the pain, but so was my neck where he’d bitten me. “You surprise me, hermoso.”

“Why?” He kissed the spot where he’d sunk his teeth into my skin and I shivered.

“You enrapture me. I feel that if I keep you around, I may succumb to the black hole of your presence.”

He chuckled. “That’s not the only hole of mine you’ll succumb to.”

I laughed harder.

The next morning,Manny had me up at some ridiculous time to tell me the waves were perfect. I surmised that I had no choice but to get dressed in beach-appropriate clothes before he forced me out of the apartment to a surf shop a few blocks down. I was surprised they were open at this ungodly hour, but according to the pretty female shop assistant with big blue eyes and a tan, they had to be open at this time when the waves were this great.

We rented two surfboards and went to the beach, although it felt more like Manny was dragging me down there. Our guards weren’t far behind, but they stayed in their cars because there were only a few other people in the water, and they were too busy surfing to be a threat.

We dropped our boards on the sand, and Manny glanced toward the ocean. He closed his eyes, breathed in the salty air, and sighed with a silly smile that made my heart thump a little harder. He looked… happy, and that’s all I ever wanted for him.

“Do you want to learn how to surf first?” he asked.

I shook my head and kissed him. “Go get some waves. I’ll wait here for you until you’re done.”

“Are you sure?” He hesitated, but there was no missing the excitement dancing in his eyes.

“Sí, hermoso.”

Manny threw himself at me in a hug, and I laughed as he grabbed his board and bounded out toward the ocean with an enthusiasm I hadn’t seen on his face in a long time. Maybe the sex had changed something.

Someone grabbed my shoulder and I turned, ready to fight, but relaxed when I saw Rafael. “What are you doing here? You should be waiting in the car.”
