Tease Me (14 page)
“
That…that was…fun,” I
panted.
“
Fuck yeah,” she said, just
as breathy. She was still squirming, taken over from the multiple
orgasms. I took in a deep breath, but my heart was racing. I didn’t
think I’d ever come that hard two times in a row like
that.
A light in the hallway turned on, and
someone’s footfalls softly vibrated on the floor. My mind was
whirling, still focused on Ellie. I blinked and remembered it was
time for the cook to make me dinner.
“
Get up,
chica
,” I whispered and gently rolled
Ellie onto her side. My pants were around my ankles. I pulled them
up, tucking my semi-hard cock inside. I picked up Ellie’s pants and
handed them to her.
Her arm shook when she
reached for them. The cook loudly cleared his throat, taking his
time to come into the kitchen. There was no way he
wasn’t
aware of what had
just gone on. My staff knew better than to question or pass
judgment. They knew to just get out of the way and let me do as I
pleased.
“
Get dressed,” I told Ellie,
glancing at doorway. I suddenly didn’t want anyone coming in and
seeing her naked, even on accident. She was mine. And I don’t share
what is mine.
She nodded and tried to work her fingers to
put on her pants. Seeing that she was barely able to function, I
bent back down to help her. She lifted her hips as I pulled her
jeans up. Then I helped her to her feet.
She wobbled. I wrapped my arm around her,
fighting the urge to kiss her once more, and led her to the table.
She sat just as the cook came in.
I sat across from her, telling the cook to
bring us wine. Ellie’s hair was a tangled mess around her face, and
her eyes were wide. She wavered in her seat, shifting her
weight.
Within minutes, we were served wine, and the
kitchen was alive with the scent and sound of dinner preparation.
Ellie picked up her glass of wine, arm still trembling.
“
Do you like wine?” I
asked.
She chuckled. “I do. A lot.” She took a
drink. “It was the one guilty pleasure I allowed myself.”
I smiled. “What’s your favorite?”
She took another drink before setting her
glass down. “I like pink moscato.” Her eyes met mine. “Usually, I
get the cheapest bottle with the cutest picture.”
It was my turn to laugh. “That’s how you pick
our your wine?”
She narrowed her eyes,
pretending to be offended. “Hey, we all don’t live like this,” she
said, motioning around her. “Maybe you don’t know how much American
cops
don’t
make.”
I licked my lips. “You won’t have to worry
about that anymore.” She reached for her wine again, cheeks
flushing. I watched her try not to smile. She wouldn’t have to
worry about anything anymore, as long as she was mine.
I closed my eyes, tipping my head up to the
moon. Steady waves crashed against the shore. The breeze picked up,
blowing misty ocean air against me. I shivered.
Alejandro wrapped his arms around me. I sat
with my back to his chest, between his legs. We were on a blanket
in the sand, so close to the water. I leaned against him, turning
my head up for a kiss.
His tongue slipped into my mouth, instantly
causing desire to wind inside of me. It blew my mind how one man
could turn me on so much with just one kiss. And even after three
insane orgasms in a row, my body craved him and I wanted more.
Alejandro brushed my hair back and ran his
fingertips down my neck. I opened my eyes and looked at the
soporific water. I put my hand over Alejandro’s. I never wanted to
leave this beach.
“
We need to establish some
rules,” he whispered into my ear.
“
Rules?”
“
Yes,
chica
.”
I closed my eyes again. “What kind of
rules?”
“
Rules about you,” he said.
“If you are staying here, if you want to be mine, something needs
to be established.”
I nodded. “I do want to be yours. I never
want to leave.” I might be lust-drunk and slightly tipsy from the
glasses of wine I had with dinner, but I knew I wanted to be with
Alejandro.
Maybe not forever, but I
didn’t even want to think that far ahead. For the first time in my
life, I was living for
now
. I was taking charge.
Do what you want and fuck them all.
He pressed his lips against the nape of my
neck. I shivered again. “People will be looking for you,” he
reminded me. I had almost forgotten. “That presents a whole other
problem.”
“
Funny thing,” I said,
leaning closer to Alejandro. Was it ridiculous to think that there
could be something more than sex-driven lust between us? “I have
two weeks off of work. There’s a chance no one will notice I’m
missing.”
He kissed my neck. “I can’t believe my
luck.”
“
What’s the other problem?”
I asked.
“
Ellie,” he said. Fuck, I
loved when he said my name. “You know who I am. You know what I do.
And you know there are a lot of people who would love to see me…see
me lose.”
“
Oh,” I said. “I think I get
it.” I twisted to face him. He hooked his arms around my waist.
“You’re worried someone might use me to get to you.”
“
Something like that,” he
said, his dark eyes leaving mine. He looked at the water behind me.
“Or just hurt you to hurt me.”
“
Would it hurt you if
something happened to me?” The question slipped from my lips. It
was obvious Alejandro enjoyed me. But did he care?
He shrugged as if he didn’t care, but I felt
his heart speed up—just a bit. “You are mine,” he said, jaw
set.
I smiled. That was enough of an answer for
me. Yes, he did care. “Okay. So what are the rules?”
“
Here,” he started, “should
be safe for a while longer. Until the other night, I was certain no
one knew about this house.”
“
You don’t always live
here?” I asked, though as soon as I said it, it made sense. I still
wasn’t sure where I was. But by the dark coastline and quiet night,
I knew we weren’t close to any major cities, which wasn’t good for
Alejandro’s business.
“
No, I don’t,” he confessed.
“I’m here to set up a new deal,” he added, his voice low. His arms
tightened around me. “I will be going back to Mexico City
soon.”
“
Oh.”
“
Ellie,” he said, moving his
hands to my face, “you’re coming with me.”
I nodded, nerves and excitement bubbling in
my stomach. This was all so surreal. “I can tell people that I came
here on my own, you know. I’m an adult. And given the shitty state
my life was in, it’s not that hard to believe I’d have a midlife
crisis a few years early and run away.”
The scene unfolded in my head: calling my
parents and telling them I had had enough and was finally doing
something for myself. Would they believe me? Did it even matter? I
had made up my mind. I didn’t want to go back to my old life. I
didn’t want to be Officer Buzzkill anymore.
“
Maybe,” he whispered.
“Though that’s not my biggest concern.”
“
Ah, right.” His words hit
me, and a chill ran through me. I snuggled closer to Alejandro.
“Will other cartels really try to kill me?”
“
Yes,” he said with
certainty.
“
Great.”
“
They don’t know about you.
Yet.” He leaned back, bringing me with him. “I will keep you
safe.”
I took a deep breath, resituating on the
blanket next to Alejandro. “I know.” I hooked my leg over his.
“So…the rules.”
“
First rule,” he started.
“You don’t go anywhere alone.”
I laughed. “Easy to follow.” I hated to admit
it to myself, but I would be too scared to go off on my own. Even
if I wasn’t a target of other cartels.
“
Second rule: you will be
loyal only to me.”
I nodded. “I can do that.” I pushed my
fingers under the collar of his shirt. “Basically,” I summed up, “I
stay in the house where it is safe, right?”
He nodded. “Right. If you are to leave the
property, it will be with me.” He propped himself up on his elbow.
“I’m not risking you.” His lips brushed against mine. “Or my
business.”
“
I can follow those rules.
But only if you agree to follow my rule,” I breathed.
“
Your rule?” he asked,
amused. “And what is that,
chica
?”
“
I want you to fuck me
everyday, make me feel beautiful. Make me feel alive.”
His smile turned devious. “Just once a day?”
He kissed me. “How about I fuck you whenever, where ever I
want?”
I licked my lips. I was sore from the
pounding I took earlier, but I was ready for more if he wanted it.
I was okay with cuddling and sleeping too. If he wanted me, he
would take me. And that turned me on so fucking much.
He leaned forward, gently kissing me. “And
rules about fucking.”
My pussy tingled. “What does that
entail?”
“
Nothing is off
limits.”
I opened my mouth to respond but stopped, not
knowing what to say. The thought was erotic and terrifying at the
same time.
“
And it is your
responsibility to take care of contraceptives. I don’t like
condoms.”
“
I noticed,” I said. It felt
better without them anyway. “I’m on the shot.”
“
Shot?” he asked.
“
Yeah. I’m good for another
month and a half. Then I’ll need pills, I guess.”
“
Okay,” he said. “That can
be arranged. And I want you to go get tested, just to be sure. I
will get tested too, so you know I don’t have anything.”
I nodded, the breath catching in my chest.
“This is crazy,” I said, putting my hand on his cheek. He had a
five-o’clock shadow and was handsome as hell. “What am I
doing?”
“
You’re surrendering to me,”
he said, parting my legs. “Living your fantasy.”
I couldn’t deny that. This—running away and
shacking up with a very attractive man—was one of my fantasies. It
hadn’t played out the exact way I’d imagined, though. And that made
it even more erotic.
“
What is it to you?” I
asked.
Alejandro’s dark eyes narrowed. “I don’t
know. I like fucking you, and I like you. There is something about
you, Eleanor Morgan. Something I can’t figure out. And it’s not
something I’m willing to let go of. I want to figure you out…figure
out why you’ve effected me so much.”
“
Well then,” I said, sliding
my hands down to his waist. “It seems we have reached an agreement.
I only have one question: I am yours, but are you mine?”
Alejandro pushed himself onto me and between
my legs. He lowered his lips to mine.
“
I am yours,
chica
.”
