Touché.

‘We’d had a lot to drink. And at least we had clothes on.’ I attempted to make sense of my comment. ‘This is different.’

‘Of course.’ Alejandro nodded.

‘I’m going to the bathroom.’ I left the room, closed the bathroom door behind me then exhaled. This was going to be difficult.

Luckily, the hotel had vanity kits with toothbrushes and toothpaste, so once I’d brushed my teeth and washed my face, I returned to the room.

Alejandro awkwardly shuffled past me to the bathroom and I used that opportunity to take off my dress. Obviously, I didn’t have any nightclothes to change into, so I’d have to sleep in my underwear. My dress wouldn’t be comfortable. I’d make sure that I wrapped the white bedsheets around me multiple times though to create an extra barrier and avoid my skin touching Alejandro’s.

After diving under the sheets, I remembered I was supposed to get extra pillows to put in the centre of the bed. I leapt out from the covers and raced over to Alejandro’s side to the dark wooden wardrobe.

There were no pillows inside, so I could only assume they were in the cupboards at the top.

Just as I stretched up to try and reach, I heard the bathroom door open and Alejandro returned to the bedroom in just his boxer shorts.

Oh. My. Good. Lord.

What was that saying? He looked like a snack?

In this case, Alejandro didn’t just look like a snack; he looked like an all-you-can-eat buffet.

My eyes roamed over his chest, then lingered between his legs.

‘You want some help?’ he asked, breaking me out of my indecent thoughts.

‘Yes. Please.’

He came and stood beside me, reached up, pulled down two extra pillows, then handed them to me.

Our eyes locked and my whole body tingled. Our faces were only inches apart and the bed wasn’t that much further. It would be so easy for us toaccidentallyfall onto it. And for Alejandro toaccidentallythrust his dick inside me.

A fresh wave of tingles raced through me. I attempted to tell my body to calm down, but I could feel my resolve weakening.

‘We should…’ I tilted my head towards the bed.

‘Sleep?’ Alejandro said. It was almost like he wanted to know whether I wanted something else to happen.

Of course I did, but I wouldn’t let it.

‘Yes. Sleep!’ I broke the spell then returned to my side of the bed where I quickly climbed under the covers, then positioned the two pillows in the centre of the bed.

Given how small it was, that didn’t leave much room for movement, but it’d be fine.

Once Alejandro had climbed in the bed, he turned off the light. I felt him moving around a lot, trying to get comfortable.

‘Do you mind if I…’ He wriggled again. ‘With the pillows, I do not have a lot of room. Perhaps I can turn them onto their side, instead of laying them flat?’ he asked.

‘Okay. Go for it,’ I said.

I felt the pillows move. Alejandro put them on their side, but the one he’d positioned lower down immediately fell over. ‘I’ve got it!’ I reached out for the pillow and repositioned it, but it fell again and when I tried to retrieve it, my hands landed on something hard.

‘Fuck.’ Alejandro groaned. ‘Your hand. It is on my cock.’

‘Oh shit!’ I leapt up, yanking my hand away. ‘I’m so sorry! I was just trying to… the pillow.’

‘I wish I could say that I was sorry that you touched me, but I am not. I wish you would do it again,’ he growled.
