I only smirked.

“Can I change now?” She asked after a moment of silence, crossing her arms. Imorethan liked her little attitude.

In response, before walking out, I leaned down and kissed the top of her head. The door closed behind me and I chuckled, thinking of what her reaction must have looked like.

Ten minutes later, I was on the couch when I heard the quiet click of a door shut somewhere behind me. I stood, buttoning my suit jacket as I turned around.

The smug look I had on my face disappeared when I saw her.

It was like time froze me in place while she slowly descended towards me.

Her heels echoed in the silence as my lips parted in awe. When she stopped a few inches in front of me, she raised one manicured hand and pushed my jaw up with one finger, closing my mouth.

Her glossy lips turned into a playful smile. She knew exactly what she was doing to me. I’m not sure what I expected her to come out wearing – maybe something fancy and slightly loose – but it wasn’tthis.

Maria was wearing a skin-tight nude dress that went all the way to her ankles. The color of her dress matched her nails, heels and bag – a light brown, slightly darker than her tan skin. Her jewelry was gold, matching her outfit. I allowed my eyes to roam over her body. The dress hugged her in all the right places, accentuating every curve; she looked like she’d been sawn into it. Her waist imitated an hourglass and her cleavage was perfectly proportionate to her body.

Well,fuck me sideways.

I’d seen her naked. I knew she had an amazing body. I could tell even before, by the way it moved underneath her baggy clothes. Butholy shit, this was better than I’d ever imagined. Better than any fucking centerfold I’d ever seen. I could already feel myself getting hard.

Her chocolate hair was pin straight, all the way down to her waist. I couldn’t wait to wrap my fist around it. Run my fingers through it. Pull and tag at it.

I refocused on her face, paying attention to every detail. Her skin was flawless, her cheeks slightly peachy, her brows perfectly shaped and her lips round and glossy. The most attention was on her eyes: black softly outlined them, and there was a mix of browns and gold on the lids. Long, dark lashes fanned over her emerald eyes. She looked like a goddess.

Rubbing my hand over my jaw, I took a step back to take a better look at her.

“Fuck,” I breathed out, not able to look away.

It was then I knew I never wanted to fuck another woman. After seeingherlikethis, I’d never get hard again without thinking of her.

I was fucked.

Maria raised an eyebrow at me and tilted her head, but didn’t step forward. I closed the distance between us and looked at my hands as I gripped her waist. Our eyes met when I drew my gaze back to her face, and it was like a sledgehammer hit me in the chest. Her gaze melted in mine, and warm liquid spread in my chest.

When the intensity got too much, Maria cleared her throat. “So?”

I smiled. “There’s a reason I call youhermosa.” I leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her lips, before pulling back. “You look beautiful, baby.”

She bit her lip to stop from smiling as she wiped her lipstick off my lips with her thumb. “Should we go?”

“One more thing.” I dug into my pocket, pulling out a fancy black box, tied with a white bow. “For you.”

She slowly took it from me, opening it to see the twenty-four-karat gold bracelet I’d bought months ago. It was about fucking time I gave it to her.

Her finger brushed over the charm of the devil and angel embracing.

“It’s like you and me,” I murmured, suddenly feeling nervous. “Us.”

Her eyes met mine. “Zach… It’s beautiful.”

“May I?” When she nodded, I took her wrist and clipped the bracelet on. I ran my thumb over it, admiring the gold against her tan skin. The confession escaped me. “I bought it after your other one broke. Not sure why I didn’t give it to you sooner.”

Her arms wrapped around my neck, my hands settling on her hips.

“Thank you.” Her lips brushed mine before falling into a deeper kiss.

I squeezed her waist tighter. Now that I finally had her in the palms of my hands, I was never letting her go.
