She obeys me without hesitation as her arms come around my neck.

I keep her pinned to the wall, my hands around her waist.“This little tank top is sexy as fuck, especially over the black lace bra you’re wearing.The shorts are even sexier, and don’t you dare wear them out of the house ever again.”

Her eyes widen.

“I mean it, Reagan.Every man in the grocery store was staring at your fantastic ass and long, bare legs.I wanted to punch a few of them.”

A smirk plays on her lips.“Such a caveman.”

“You can call me a caveman all you want, but don’t wear the shorts in public,” I order.

“You can’t dictate what I wear, Tiago,” she says, her voice sassy.

“I saw how you clenched your thighs together when I mentioned spanking.You’re intrigued.”

“I am not.Don’t be ridiculous.You can’t spank me.”

“I can, and I will.In fact, you’ll ask me to.”

She cocks her head to one side.“Why would I do that?”

“Because after the first time, you’re going to crave having my palm swatting your naked bottom like a drug addict.”

I love it when I shock her.Her gasps are precious.She licks her full lips.“This is surreal.I must be dreaming.There’s no way that this morning I woke up single without even a date, and now I’ve ended up in a man’s bedroom at the Wilde mansion.No one would believe it.”

“Except I took you to the grocery store and made a great show of my intentions, so now everyone in town believes it.”I grin as I slide one hand down to cup the back of her thigh and tease the edge of her panties under her shorts.“And I’m not kidding.Don’t wear anything outside of this room that allows the world to see your bare skin less than an inch from your pussy.Understood?”

Her eyes roll back when I stroke that exact exposed skin an inch from her folds.Her fingers dig into my shoulders, and she tips her head back.Her mouth drops open.She’s so fucking sexy.

I stop stroking and grip her thigh, fully aware that my fingers are most likely parting her pussy lips.

She groans and lowers her gaze to mine.“Tiago…”

I have her propped high on my waist, but her rich, sexy tone makes me press my cock against her.“Don’t you own sweatpants and long-sleeved baggy shirts?”I joke.

She closes her eyes and sets her forehead against mine, ignoring my rhetorical question.

I hold her like this for a long time because I like being close to her, and I don’t trust myself to move an inch.I’m so close to tossing her onto the bed and showing her how good we’re going to be together.I fully intend to do so before I take her home, but not until later.

Finally, I inhale deeply and lower her to her feet, enjoying the way it feels when her body slides down mine.I cup her face and kiss her briefly.“So, this is the room I’ve been using about half the nights I’ve been here.”I step back and to the side so she can see the space better.

“Where do you sleep the other half of the nights?”

“In my RV.”

“Oh, right.I forgot about the RV.Why would you sleep out there?”

I chuckle.“Because my brother just got married, and some nights, it seems prudent to let them have the entire house.That’s going to have to stop, though, now that Dallas has arrived.We can’t all vacate the mansion for those two lovebirds.”

“You’re really close to your brother.”

“Yes.We haven’t been this close in years.We just kind of grew apart, living in different parts of the country without a lot in common.But since we’ve arrived in Wilde, we’ve reconnected.”

“And Dallas?”

“Neither of us knows Dallas very well.We’ve met all our cousins from time to time over the years, but not often.He owned a pawn shop in Texas and sold it to come here.”

She nods and steps more fully into the room.“It’s like stepping back in time.”
