Excerpt
Rosa
pushes Eliseo onto his back and begins to mark him with her nails and teeth.
She loves that he likes when she’s rough with him, and every mutual bite makes
her wetter. He can’t keep his lips off of her, even when she’s down over his
tight stomach. He pulls her arms up and sucks on each of her fingers, forcing
her to stop when she feels a tug at her core. Desire drips out of Rosa and
sticks to her thighs. She loves the feeling of want. It’s delicious torture to
have him so available to her but to deny herself, even for a short time. He
bucks his hips reflexively, needing to be inside her.
Rosa runs
her tongue over her top lip and smiles before moving her warm, wet tongue over
his cock. Eliseo hisses as she takes him into her mouth. He loves when she goes
down on him. There’s nothing sexier to him than a woman who’s unafraid of her
sexuality and strong enough to express it.
Eliseo
lies back and closes his eyes, shutting out the fact that this will not be his
reality much longer. He knows Rosa’s right, but it kills him to acknowledge it.
He’s always known he has the capacity to be as self-centered as his mother,
doing whatever feels right at the moment. Keeping Rosa to himself is what he
wants, but he will hurt her if he tries and she’s not ready. Neither one of
them were ready for the other. It’s as if the universe had brought them
together just to show them the potential of what could be and nothing more.
He groans
as Rosa takes him deeper, swallowing and then opening her throat more to
accommodate him. She’s one of the most generous lovers he’s ever had. But love
does that. It compels you to want to give more of yourself than you’d imagined
possible. Eliseo had tried to do the same for Rosa. To give her everything he
could. Yet, if he were entirely honest with himself, he would have admitted to
himself earlier that it wasn’t enough. Perhaps one day he can prove that he’s
no longer burdened by the weight of his emotional baggage. Until then, he’ll
show his love to her every way he can.
She digs
her nails into his chest as she continues to suck his cock, his hips moving in
rhythm. Saliva drips down around her mouth and his shaft as she licks him up
and down, tickling the underside with the tip of her tongue. The noise out of
his mouth is unintelligible. Rosa laughs and nearly chokes as she goes back
down on him. Eliseo smiles down at Rosa, loving how easy and fun sex is with
her.
Rosa
grasps the base of his cock and pumps her hand up and down along with her
mouth. Eliseo lies back, relishing this moment with her. He runs his hand over
her head and presses down once, signaling he’s almost ready to come. She picks
up her pace, wanting nothing more than this with him. Of course they have all
night, there’s time for everything else. Right now, this is for him.
Eliseo
moans loudly as he explodes into her mouth. Rosa takes it all, swallowing
everything he has to give her.
Without
missing a beat, Eliseo pulls Rosa to him, his lips conveying a gratitude for
all she’s given him. Rosa sits up and straddles his chest, gazing down at him
with a look he’d seen before and had taken it for wonder. But now he recognizes
it as love. It pains him to think someone else might inspire the same look, the
same feelings in Rosa. Maybe she’ll come
back to me before that happens.
His hands
don’t stop moving over her curves, from her ass to her waist and up to her
breasts. Her beauty fascinates him because he wasn’t drawn to her for the
prettiness of her face or the long, thick wavy hair that is the envy of so
many. Granted she has the body he’s always found most desirable—the curvaceous
ass, strong legs, small waist and the most delectable tits—yet it occurs to him
in this moment that not once were those the features that made her attractive
to him. As he summons the memory of seeing her for the first time after so many
years, all that he can recall is how being with her made him feel. Her
laughter, her smile, her touch meant more than the physicality of her being. It
was as if all of her qualities shaped her perceived beauty more than her actual
looks.
Blossoming Flower (Wildflowers, #1)
In the wake of the collapse of her father’s business empire, Flor, the gorgeous twenty-one year-old daughter of disgraced former Brazillionaire Gustavo de Lima, is forced to forge her own path in life.
Flor decides that none of it—the private jets, the vacation homes and the luxury cars—were real. Or at least they really didn’t matter. The only thing that’s real for Flor is her love of horses and her desire to go to veterinary school.
Heading into her final year of college, Flor seeks out the help of an unlikely benefactor to secure a summer internship working with horses. Arriving at the secluded Belo Horizonte ranch, Flor is awed not only by the majestic beauty of the place, but also by handsome cowboy and skilled horse trainer, Collin Taylor. Yet nothing is quite as it appears on the surface.
When the hidden past is revealed, will love end up blossoming for Flor?
