Tempt Me (Tease Me Book 2) (15 page)

Alejandro opened his mouth to say something but stopped. He grabbed me and threw me onto the mattress. He was on top of me in an instant. I opened my legs, wrapped them around his waist. He slipped his arms underneath me and pressed his mouth to mine.
 

The kiss was hard, desperate. It was the kind of kiss that conveyed every ineffable feeling he was unable to say aloud. His tongue pushed into my mouth, and his heart raced. The feelings of forlorn melted away.

“Ellie,” he panted, breaking away. “I’m leaving here for Mexico City shortly.” He sat up, bringing me with, and laid back. I rested my head on his chest, with one hand curled around his bicep and the other gently combing his hair.
 

“Where the forever house is?”

“Yes,” he said with a slight chuckle. “Ellie, it’s even more dangerous. People know me there,” he said slowly, letting each word sink in.

“What are you getting at?” I asked.

“You need to decide,
chica
.” His muscles tensed. “If you want to put yourself at risk. For me.”

My head spun. Whoa. I took in a shaky breath. “What do you want?”

“I want you to be happy,” he said.
 

I closed my eyes. It would be so much easier if he would tell me he loved me, that he didn’t want to live a second without me. That’s how I felt about him…wasn’t it? We’d be in this together, with a possibility of a future. It made the risk worth it.

I pushed myself up onto my knees and wrapped my arms around his neck. “Yes. I’m coming with you. After all, I am yours.”

A smile pulled up his full lips, lighting his handsome face. “You are mine.”
