Page 41 of Dirty Lyrics
“Okay,” I pant, already undone by his teasing fingers. “Sex, nap, food. Then we work.”
His laugh is deep, dangerous, wrecking me even more.
“Deal. But it’s never just sex with you, Maya. I hope you know that. I love you. Tú eres mi corazón.”
The way he flows seamlessly from Spanish to English undoes me every single time.
I can handle translations on paper. That’s my comfort zone—lyrics, words, phrases broken down and put back together.
But Rico? He doesn’t just speak Spanish.
He breathes it. He sings it. He makes it sound like sin and salvation rolled into one.
And oh my fuck—when he sings it? I’ve never heard anything hotter in my life.
It’s like his voice dips low in his chest and takes me with it, dragging me into a place where every sound is sex.
He wraps his mouth around the syllables like he’s making love to the language itself, and somehow, he makes each note, each lyric, buzz with emotion.
It’s not just music—it’s him.
His soul. His scars. His love.
And God help me, I fangirl like crazy every time he opens his mouth that way. I can’t help it.
He’s not just a man to me in those moments—he’s an artist.
A star. A force of nature. And he’s mine.
Rico is the only inspiration I need to put lyrics to the beautiful music he writes. It’s true, those are my words, but without him?
They wouldn’t exist.
I don’t know how or why or what I did to deserve him, but I know that together we create songs that people seem to like. Songs that make my heart squeeze every time I hear them.
“What are you thinking about, Wife?” Rico asks, and I love the way he sounds sated and hungry at the same time.
For me. All for me.
“I’m thinking I’m crazy about you. And I want you. Now,” I whimper.
Then he kisses me. It’s deep, soul-stealing, and so full of need and devotion it makes me swoon.
God, I love this man.
“I need you too,” he growls.
“I know,” I whisper against his lips, my chest bursting with truth.
“I love you, Songbird.”
And just like that, I believe him.

Eight days.
Eight days locked up in the condo with her, and it’s been amazing.
