He couldn’t do that and needed to stop being the Good Samaritan. “I’m sorry, Allie, but this is it. Your brother is out of the woods. He told you to drive the other car, which I’ve seen you do before, so I’m sure you’ll be able to manage now.”
Allie slipped her arm through his. “Mateo, you wouldn’t completely abandon a friend now, would you?”
He untangled himself and met her sad gaze. “I didn’t abandon you although we’re not friends. But I have a life, one that was just getting on track. If you keep getting in the way, it isn’t going to work. So stop doing it. I’ll drop you at home and you’ll be fine.”
Mateo smiled as he walked toward his truck knowing that he was going to head home and get his woman without any hindrance from the one following him. At least, that was the plan.
He frowned when he turned and there was no Allie. Looking around he spotted her getting into a cab and he watched in surprise as she drove past.
What the hell!
He honestly wasn’t bothered because that meant he could get home to Erin all the sooner.

“You told her,” the first thing out of his mouth as he stepped out of his truck and found Diego waiting for him.
“I wasn’t about to lie to her. I think enough of that has gone on. Don’t you?”
“Fuck…You’re right. Where’d she go?”
He was sick of this shit, and once again, he was the reason behind Erin’s upset.
“She walked back to the house. Think she went to your room.”
“How was she?”
Diego shook his head. “Asked me for a lift to the airport.” He started to move away but turned back. “You might have a chance this time, but I don’t think you’ll get another.”
He heard his brother and he sure as hell planned on not being in that situation again. He hadn’t planned on being in it to begin with.
Running up the back steps, he limped up the last one when he landed funny. He cursed. He’d forget about his knee until he was reminded when it threatened to give out on him.
“Hey,” Diego shouted to get his attention.
Mateo turned and watched as his brother grinned like an idiot. “No ones around until dinner.”
Diego disappeared around the side of the barn, and he went after his woman who he found curled up on her side on his bed.
Her eyes were closed, her breath shallow as he quietly took off his sneakers and made his way to the bed. As he lay down beside her, the bed dipped, her eyes snapped open.
Erin didn’t seem surprised to find him opposite her, but her sadness was evident with the way her eyes clouded with tears.
“I didn’t tell you that I’d arranged to take her back to the hospital and I should have. You were so out of it that I couldn’t wake you up. I had every intention when I got back of telling you. Explaining.” He smiled and hoped she believed him. “I told her that today was the end that she could drive herself around because I wanted to stay with my girl. That’s how I look at you Erin.”
He caressed her face and continued, “I thought about taking you with me this morning, but then I didn’t want her to pick an argument or something with you. I didn’t want to be with her, I just felt that I had to be because she asked. I’m sorry and I promise that Allie is out of the picture.” He bent and kissed her lips. “I promise, Erin…please say something.”
“I keep taking this shit from you and you keep apologizing, but then I remember that we don’t have a relationship. You don’t have reason to apologize to me. Not really.”
“The hell I don’t.” He was angry and rolled on top of her, pinning her to the bed. “You have every right. The morning I came all over your hand and pussy gave you the right to need an apology from me. After I made you orgasm with my mouth and you then gave me the best fucking blowjob, that gave you the right.”
He dropped his forehead to hers and waited while he tried to pull himself together because he was seconds from stripping her naked and showing her just why she had the right to an apology from him.
Erin wiggled and wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling herself closer to his erection. “I’ll accept your apology, but there won’t be a next time.”
“Damn right there won’t be.” He rubbed against her.
Arched against his body, Erin met his heated gaze. “Make love to me. Make me yours in the true sense of the word.”
His arms shook with his weight at her words and his dick thickened, lengthened, wanting to be rid of the denim separating them.
“I don’t deserve you. I’ve been a jerk,” he sighed between them and stared into her eyes. They were filled with heat but, still, he hesitated. “Are you sure? We can wait if you’re not.”
He prayed like hell she was sure because he ached and wasn’t sure he’d be able to walk until he’d come between her thighs.
That image.
“Get naked.”
He growled at her words and in less than a minute, they were both naked and back in the same position as they were in when Erin had said, get naked.
“You’re so beautiful,” he whispered, his pleasure unable to be disguised.
Her beautiful body was laid out under him, her legs loose around his hips and his dick hard and aching while he rocked between her wet pussy lips.
Her wetness coated his shaft and drove him crazy. His flesh twitched and hardened when he bent his head and lapped at her nipples in turn. Erin had large breasts with rock hard nubs that begged for his mouth.
As soon as he clamped his mouth around one, cherry nipple, she started thrashing under him. Her arousal flooded his cock, her fingers dug into his shoulders when she arched as she moaned and groaned in the throes of her orgasm.
“So fucking beautiful,” he panted.
Her eyes drifted open and her fingers lightly trailed from his shoulders, down his chest and abs, causing precum to tingle its way along his length where it released from the slit she tickled with her fingernail.
“I want to come on your cock, Mateo. Now. Please.”
He laughed, which soon turned into a moan as he thrust into her hand. She had magic fingers and if she didn’t stop he’d come before he got inside her.
Capturing her hands in his, he shoved them above her head. “Keep them there.” He met her gaze and saw when she agreed. “Good girl.”
He caressed down her neck with his nose and left feather-like kisses along her collarbone. Beneath him, her body quivered with need. Knowing he was the first person whom she trusted with her body heightened his own arousal.
Between his legs, he felt like a ball of fire was about to explode from between and probably would with how hard he was. As he drifted lower, sampling the roundness of her breasts, he could smell her lust.
Erin slid her fingers through the short strands of his hair. At the feel of her hands on him, he didn’t give a shit that she hadn’t listened to him. Her touch felt too good.
With his tongue Mateo laid a wet trail from her navel, down to her mound where he inhaled. Her musky scent wrapped around his senses while he wondered if he had the strength to carry on before he came all over the bed that he currently rubbed against.
Erin made him lose all sense of focus and who he was as she reacted to his touch—a fucking aphrodisiac is what she was.
“Mateo,” her whispered moan caused him to growl against her pussy. “Please touch me.”
“Yes.”
Using his fingers, he spread her open and drank in the sight of her pink flesh before he pressed a kiss in the most intimate of ways. He dipped his tongue and felt her shudder against his mouth.
A soaked pussy was good. It meant that she would be ready for him.
“I have to taste you.” And that’s what he did.
He used his finger to fuck her as his mouth suckled on her clit. Erin thrashed under him and he held her down with his free hand on her stomach. He felt her shudder as her climax approached. Rearing up, he replaced his finger with his cock and thrust al
l the way inside her.
His eyes rolled and he caught his breath at the feel of the wet heat wrapped around his cock. He breathed deeply to try and keep himself loaded because, just knowing that he was deep inside Erin made him crazy. The feel of her tight folds was enough to set him off.
Erin hadn’t expected such a shocking entry from him, which was why he’d decided to do it that way. If she wasn’t expecting his dick, she wouldn’t get herself worked up. It worked, but now he held firm while she adjusted to having a man inside her for the first time.
He was damn happy that he was the first, and if he had any say in it, he’d be the last.
Chapter Twenty-Four
Her eyes stung from the slight pain at his invasion even though she’d thought that it would hurt more. She’d given him permission to make love to her and he couldn’t very well do that without being inside her.
She took in a deep breath and it eased the pain between her legs. She took another and each one eased it more until the pain was almost gone.
Mateo showed some control above her with the way he held himself. Her hands lifted to his arms as she tested down below by clenching her internal muscles.
There was no pain, but her eyes rolled as pleasure washed over her. She clenched again, relishing in the pleasure that crashed through her.
“I’m not going to last if you keep squeezing my cock.”
“It feels so good. I can’t stop.”
“God.” He kissed her lips and while they clung together, he slowly withdrew and just as slowly slid back inside.
She broke from the kiss. “So good.”
Her toes curled with pleasure while she wrapped her legs around his hips. Reaching up, she cupped the back of his head and brought his face down to hers.
“Fuck me…hard.” She sealed their lips again and curled her tongue around his, sucking. It reminded her of the blowjob she’d given him, which had brought him to his knees.
But as they devoured mouths, Mateo moved slowly back and forth inside her.
“Slow, baby. Even if it kills me.”
His forehead rested against hers as he caressed her face, his breathing as choppy as hers…and then his eyes widened. “Oh fuck!” He slammed all the way inside her and held still. “No…fucking condom on,” he gasped.
Is that all?
“I’m safe,” she whispered with a moan. “Just move. I’m so close.”
“Thank fuck.” He didn’t hesitate and before anything else could be said, he slowly pulled out to the tip and slammed home.
He drove into her over and over again as he slowly made love to her. Erin met his speed and she clawed at his back as her excitement grew. She couldn’t take it anymore as the tension built in her very core. Her belly tightened, her legs quivered, and then she started to come. She rippled and convulsed on his cock that seemed to get bigger before she felt his release splash against her walls.
She called out, “Mateo,” groaning at the slow pump of his hips while he prolonged their pleasure.
“Mmm.” He collapsed on top of her, just as sweaty as she felt. But he jumped when she did one last massage of his cock. “I don’t ever want to move.”
“I don’t want you to, but I can’t breathe.”
Mateo heaved himself up and very slowly, withdrew from Erin’s warmth, which felt so damn good that she felt him harden.
He dropped to his back and tugged her into his arms, nuzzling against her neck. “You’re mine now, babe. No one else is going to get a chance to sample that tight little pussy. Ever.”
“You realize how caveman that sounds, right?” She pinched his bottom, which earned a growl and roll of hips in reaction from Mateo.
“I don’t give a shit how caveman or possessive those words sound. I’d rip the head off of anyone who so much as tried to get into your panties.”
She secretly loved that he was possessive and only hoped it lasted longer than the sex today would as she snuggled more against him.
Mateo played with the strands of her hair that lay against his chest, as she trailed her fingers around his naval and downward.
“Oh no, you don’t.” He chuckled. “You’re going to be sore and your touch is too arousing.”
“Mmm.” She raised her head and rested her chin on his chest, her eyes on his. “Can I ask you something?”
He offered her a soft smile. “You can ask me anything.” A curl wrapped around his finger.
“How do you really feel with your football career over? At least, on the field.” She kissed his chest and waited.
“The truth is that I was getting tired with the whole thing. I’d wanted out for a while.”
Her eyes widened in surprise. “You did?”
“I was their star player and they wanted to hold me to my contract. In a way, the accident just escalated what I’d planned to do eventually—walk away.”
“I had no idea.”
“No one did…Some guys manage to last until they’re older than me, but so much training and the constant list of what you can and can’t do gets to you after a while. I’m not sure what I’m planning on doing with my life right now. I have offers, mainly coaching ones.”
Mateo pulled her over to him. “I’m seriously thinking about taking the job offered by the local high school.”
“Really? I bet the kids would love having you as their coach.”
“You think so?” he sounded unsure.
Erin kissed him slowly and rested her forehead against his. “I think you’d make an amazing coach and the kids will be in awe that you’re their coach.”
He chuckled. “The principal felt uncomfortable offering me the job and even commented that I’d probably had better offers with more salary on the table…He’s right, but his is the only position I’m even considering.”
She cupped his face. “You, Mateo De La Fuente, are a good man.”
“Who can’t stop the dirty things he wants to do to you from running through his head…but who’ll have to wait until you’re healed right up.”
“Mmm.” She straddled his waist and sat up, feeling the hardness beneath her growing. “I can feel you running out of me. All I feel is a delicious sweet ache that only you are able to satisfy.”
“God, babe.” He arched into her before he flipped her to her back. “I want you. It’s obvious. But first, a bath, and then I might be persuaded to kiss it better.”
“I’d like that.”
She loved being wrapped around his large warm body and felt protected, even cherished. Everything in her life fell into place as long as she was with Mateo.
As she ran her fingers over his short strands while he kissed and nuzzled her breasts, she realized that over the past eighteen months, she’d fallen in love with him and hoped that he really would be able to put the past behind him.
Chapter Twenty-Five
The past few days with Erin had been amazing and Mateo tried not to think of anything bad happening to put an end to it all.
Erin felt right in his life and in his family home, and what could have been a huge hurdle after what she’d been paid to do turned out really well. His family had surprised him with how accepting they’d been once the truth had been told. He should have expected them to react that way though, since his family had always been easy to forgive. His only regret was that he hadn’t been honest with them from the start. That had been wrong of him and he’d regret it for a while to come.
But today he’d put it to the back of his mind because it was his brother’s wedding and the day that his family welcomed Sylvia officially to their family. He couldn’t wait.
Mateo was glad that Eric had found Sylvia, she seemed to settle his soul and made him smile just like his woman made him smile.
His woman.
From the moment he’d seen her at the airport, his libido had sat up and taken notice. He’d reacted once or twice in the past to her body, at least in the beginning before she’d been around his family. After that his libido had died a slow dea
th, but it had certainly perked up when he’d seen her innocence.
That innocence had driven him crazy until he’d finally tasted her, and then it hadn’t really slackened any once he had. She certainly kept him on his toes and he planned on showing her just how desperate he was after the wedding.
Erin was frustrated with him for withholding his cock from her, but no way did he want to hurt her, which he would if he hadn’t forced her to wait.
When she’d disappeared into the bathroom with her dress, she’d told him he wouldn’t be able to keep his hands to himself, so when he heard the creak of the door, he watched in eagerness.
She sure as hell lived up to his fantasy in the lilac colored dress. It fitted her breasts so perfectly that it was a wonder she could breathe.
“I look okay, right?” Erin fidgeted with the dress as she twirled around for him. His eyes were more focused on the silver high heels that she had on her feet. They did amazing things to her legs that he had trouble keeping his eyes off.
He smirked when she faced him, hands on her hips. “I take it you like what you see?”
“You’ve no idea, baby.” He tugged her into his arms and pressed a small kiss to her lips. “I’m imagining you naked, wearing only those shoes.” He smiled against her lips at the mischief in her eyes.
“I’m sure that can be arranged,” she teased, her hands lightly caressing the growing bulge behind his zipper.
“Don’t tempt me.” He kissed her quickly. “We have a wedding that we’ll be late for if we don’t leave now.”
She pinched his ass, which didn’t help his arousal any before she turned and grabbed her purse. “We better leave then.”
This time he really looked at her and gasped. She was beautiful. Her locks flowed in waves down her back, she wore minimal makeup and her dress fit her delicious curves to perfection. It came down to just above her knees.
His heart pounded with how sexy she looked all dressed up for his brother’s wedding, but once again his eyes dropped to her legs.
Her chuckle brought his head up to meet her gaze. “You are going to be the one making us late.” She straightened his tie and let her hand trail down the front of his shirt. “I can’t wait to undo this later.”
