And every day I fell more and more in love with her.
“Matteo?” Mae slipped her hand in mine as we walked side by side. “What’s wrong?”
I smiled down at her and kissed her head. “Nothing at all, sweet girl.”
Nothing. At. All.
“Okay.” She sighed. “What are we doing first?”
I winked, pulling her against me and kissed the hell out of her. Slipping my tongue into her mouth, I slid my hand down the length of her back. Grinding my hips into hers, I heard some whistles nearby but that only made me kiss her harder. I needed to remind her that no matter what happened, no matter what was going on in my head, I loved her. And I wasn’t scared to show anyone just how much.
Mae moaned into my mouth, pushing her tongue against mine.
My dick lengthened and before we got in trouble for public indecency, I released her.
“What was that for?” she breathed, swaying towards me.
“That,” I rubbed my thumb over her kiss-swollen lips. “Was to show anyone around here who you belong to.”
She laughed. “Well, my love, even if they didn’t know, you are the only one I am looking at.”
“Hmm…” Cupping her nape, I brushed my nose along the length of her neck. “It makes me hard knowing you belong to me.”
She shivered. “It makes me wet, every time you speak.”
Fuck. Me. I cleared my throat, pulling away and discretely adjusted my pants.
“Well,” She rubbed the back of her neck. “That was intense.”
“It was.” It always was.
“But it’s what I love about you. You make me feel like I’m the only person who matters.”
“You are,” I said, a little too harshly. “You are all I need.”
She nodded slowly. “Okay.”
Something flashed behind her eyes but quickly disappeared. I would have asked her what that was about but a group of street performers walked by. They yelled and cheered, dancing and putting on a show.
We headed down to the edge overlooking the water.
“I love the scent of fresh air,” Mae said, leaning against the railing.
“Me too.” I stood beside her, taking a deep breath. Reveling in the scent swirling around us, I leaned my head back, the sun warming my skin. I had been coming to the marina since I moved here. Meeting all different walks of life, I embraced the culture. People milling about, getting to the places they needed to go. Working. Socializing. Parents taking their children to get cotton candy or balloon animals. Teenage girls going shopping in the tents that held vintage clothing. Tables of food lined the cobblestone walkway inviting passerby’s to join in on the fun.
“Want to know what we’re doing today?” I asked, wrapping an arm around Mae’s shoulders.
“Yes, please.” Her eyes shone, twinkling with excitement.
“We are going to walk around, have lunch and shop for a new dress for you.”
“A new dress? For what?”
“I’m taking you to my favorite restaurant. It’s a little hole in the wall owned by a Mexican family.”
“Oh I love Mexican…”
“Mexican what?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Food.”
“And?”
“And…” she tapped her chin. “That’s the only thing. Well and the country. Although I’ve never been but the pictures I’ve seen sure are beautiful.”
I tugged her against me, snarling against her neck. “Tell me.”
She giggled. “And you of course.” She peered up at me through her thick beautiful lashes. “Always you.”
My heart thumped, my stomach flipping at her words. “Good answer.”
Mae pushed out of my hold, walking a couple of steps away from me. “I can reassure you that you never have to worry. Because all of this,” she made a point of running her hands down the front of her body, gyrating her hips for added effect. “Loves all of you.”
A growl escaped me, desire for the woman standing only a few feet away seared its way into my blood. I closed the distance between us, igniting a squeal to leave her mouth but I caught her before she had a chance at even attempting to run.
She fell into a fit of laughter, pushing and struggling out of my grip. Her ass rubbed against my crotch, stopping her from trying to get out of my hold.
Matteo – 1
Mae – 0
“Can you feel that?” I asked, sliding my hand down the side of her body, my fingers stopping at her hip. They dug into her flesh, holding her still.
“Yes,” she breathed, licking her lips.
“Good.” I pushed against her again, letting her know exactly what effect she had on my body.
