‘No. I couldn’t wait to make this woman my wife,’ he said and then he bent his head low and kissed me. His soft lips pressing lightly against mine at first before he licked across my lips, forcing them open and allowing his tongue to slip into my mouth. And what could I do? I had to play along, didn’t I?
So, I melted into his kiss, letting him devour my mouth with his expert tongue as his hand slid down my back and onto my ass. I felt a jolt of pleasure shoot through my body as he squeezed it hard, knowing that his mom wouldn’t be able to see.
I should have been annoyed. But all I could think about was how good his hand and his mouth felt on me. When he pulled back, I gasped.
I wanted more.
So much more.
Then I remembered his mom was sitting right there and I blushed, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear self-consciously before I turned to face her.
She laughed softly. ‘Montoya men are very passionate,’ she said with a shrug and a knowing smile.
‘Lo siento, Mama,’ Alejandro said as he took a seat.
‘No need to apologize. Your Alana is a beautiful woman, son. I’m glad that you’ve finally found someone to share your life with. I was starting to worry about you.’
He took her hand and kissed it softly. ‘You never have to worry about me, Mama.’
Maria placed her free hand over mine. ‘Well, now that you have Alana to love you, I will certainly worry less.’
I smiled at her, although I felt a pang of guilt for lying to this lovely woman who clearly adored her son. But, I supposed her believing that he was happy and in love brought her some comfort when she lived so far away from him.
‘I’ll look after him, Maria. I promise,’ I said and in that moment, I meant it too.
