hips and my thighs, steering dangerously close to where I wanted
to feel his touch the most. Where I was already so wet and ready
for him.
    “ Baby, you have
no idea what you doin’ to me,” he said softly. “Am not about to let
you go...” His mouth and his breath were sending shivers across my
neck and my jaw. “I don’t have to fuck you to know
that.”
    “ Hmmm...” I
sighed softly, wrapping my arms around him tightly. “I’m glad you
don’t think I’m just a bad tease,” I joked softly.
    He laughed softly, pulling
back reluctantly. “I didn’t say that...”
    My eyes went wide. “Wow...”
I smiled at that. “That was mean.”
    “ No,” he said
then, kissing me again gently as he held my hips, easing me down
off the table. “Mean is how you sending me home tonight...all alone
and hard as fuck after having my hands all over this sexy body you
got.”
    His words made me just want
to rip all his clothes off, but I caught my breath and resisted.
“Now you just making me feel bad,” I said softly, gathering up my
cardigan and slowly slipping it back over my shoulders. “But at
least you’re honest,” I threw in teasingly.
    He stepped back and just
gave me this intense look of longing, but as frustrated as he
looked, there was no resentment there, and it just made me want him
even more. Where did this man come from???
    Then just like that, my
phone went off. Text message. It seemed to surprise both of us and
made me realize for the first time that Ben had not touched his
phone all night.
    “ Shit...” I
reached for my bag and pulled out my phone, knowing right away who
it was. My phone said it was a few minutes to three. I opened the
message, read it, and then let out a reluctant sigh. “Sorry,” I
said softly, clicking it off again.
    “ Everything
okay?” Ben looked concerned.
    “ Yes, it’s
just...my aunt,” I admitted. “Since I was going out tonight I asked
her to spend the night in case my mom needed someone and she just
texted to see where I was. I think she’d prefer to go home
instead.”
    “ That’s okay,”
Ben said, reaching out and pushing my hair behind my ear. “I can
call you a cab.”
    “ You’re not going
home?” I was confused. I knew we lived in the same
direction.
    “ Yeah, but I’m
just gonna clean up first and ting,” he told me, getting out his
phone from his back pocket. “You should get home, you don’t wanna
piss off your aunt, ‘cause we may want to do this again sometime.”
He started to dial.
    I smiled and waited for him
to finish. “I had a really good time,” I said then, even though the
truth went far beyond that simple statement.
    He leaned over and kissed me
softly. “You and me both.”
    He waited with me outside
the restaurant for my cab to pull up and then handed me a twenty
dollar bill for the cab fare, even knowing I only lived a short
ride away.
    I shook my head. “Nope, I
got this,” I said adamantly.
    He sucked his teeth, giving
me a little suspicious look, but didn’t push. “You always this
stubborn?” he wondered, pocketing the bill again.
    I laughed. “Yes, I can be,”
I admitted, reaching for the door to the cab.
    He sighed. “All right,
well...text me when you get home.”
    I leaned in and kissed him
softly but as I moved to pull back he held my face between his
hands and kissed me deeper.
    “ Fuck...” He
groaned softly as he finally released me, his sexual frustration
apparent yet again. “You too much, Gabriela...”
    I smiled at him then, my
eyes betraying me. I wondered if he could see how badly I wanted
him without me saying a word. I held my tongue and just climbed
into the back seat of the cab. My head was spinning the entire way
home.
     
    Ω
     
    I was true to
my word and sent Ben a text message the minute I got into my
bedroom. My aunt had decided to head home, worrying about leaving
my two teenage cousins in an empty house all night long. Lately
she’d been mumbling about her issues with Diego, her
