Alejandro stoodby the front door and glanced at his watch and I bit back a smile. He hated to be kept waiting and he was barely able to hide his frustration.

‘Lucia!’ he shouted. ‘If you’re not down here in two minutes we’re going without you.’

There was no reply and he shook his head in annoyance. I slipped on my heels and walked over to him. ‘She’s just nervous about what to wear,’ I said with a smile, placing my hand on his cheek. ‘She’s been excited about this all day. She’ll be down soon.’

‘She’d better be,’ he growled.

It had been two weeks since Lucia had first arrived at our house, and we had discovered that tomorrow was her seventeenth birthday. Alejandro had arranged for us to have dinner at a very exclusive restaurant and Lucia had been beside herself all day deciding what to wear. The two of us had gone shopping earlier, and she had ended up being so torn between five different outfits that I’d insisted on buying her them all. She needed some new clothes anyway.

Alejandro sighed as he continued looking at the stairs. Then he turned his attention to me, sliding a hand over my hips and onto my ass. ‘You look beautiful by the way. Red really suits you.’

I looked down at my new dress. It was cut just below the knee, but it was tight and accentuated my slim waist and curvy thighs. ‘You think?’ I said as I bit on my lip and placed my hand on his chest. ‘I’m really glad you like the color, because it’s exactly the same shade as my panties.’

‘Fuck!’ he said as he sucked in a long breath.

I leaned closer to him, my lips brushing his ear. ‘They’re see through too.’

He squeezed my ass possessively. ‘Don’t tease me, princess, or we won’t make it to the restaurant.’

‘You can’t disappoint Lucia. I just told you, she’s been excited about this all day,’ I grinned at him.

‘She’ll forgive me when she sees her birthday present,’ he growled as he moved his head and ran his teeth along my jawline before nipping and tugging on my earlobe sending a shiver of pleasure through my entire body.

I laughed as I wrapped my arms around his neck. ‘Actually, she probably will.’

We had only found out yesterday that it was Lucia’s birthday. As well as arranging this birthday meal, Alejandro had ordered her a brand new car and it was being delivered the following morning. I had been surprised by his generosity, not that he couldn’t easily afford such a lavish gift, and he was usually generous with his money, but he had been so resistant to Lucia staying with us. It seemed she was working her way into his affections despite his insistence that she would be out of our lives as soon as possible. I looked up at him and smiled.

He smiled back at me, and I felt a rush of wet heat as he pressed his body against mine. ‘I’m going to tear those panties off you as soon as we get back home then,’ he growled in my ear before he sealed his lips against mine, licking along the seam until I opened my mouth, allowing his tongue to swirl against mine. I leaned against him as my legs started to tremble.

‘Oh my God! Can you guys keep your hands off each other for like two minutes!’ Lucia sighed behind us.

Alejandro removed his hand from my ass, and I turned to see her walking down the stairs in a beautiful aqua blue dress which was the perfect tone for her skin.

‘You look beautiful,’ I said to her with a smile as she walked towards us. She stopped at the bottom of the stairs and gave us a twirl.

‘You certainly do, chica,’ Alejandro agreed.

She blushed slightly and walked towards us. ‘Gracias,’ she said quietly.

An hour later, we were sitting on the terrace of the restaurant. I looked out over the ocean and let out a contented sigh.

‘I think this is the most beautiful view I have ever seen in my life,’ I said.

‘I couldn’t agree more, princess,’ Alejandro said as he winked at me and I realized he wasn’t talking about the ocean.

Lucia giggled as she looked at the two of us.

‘What’s so funny?’ I asked.

‘You two,’ she replied. ‘You’re so sweet together.’

‘Sweet?’ Alejandro asked with a frown.

‘Yeah. Like whenever you’re near to each other, you’re always touching.’

I almost choked on the mouthful of water I’d just taken. ‘What?’ I spat. Had she noticed Alejandro’s hand squeezing my thigh a few minutes earlier? No. She’d been reading her menu and his hand had been under the table. It had been perfectly innocent compared to what he usually did when we were in a restaurant together.
