The heat of passion raced through her. Before she knew it, she was clinging to him. He ravished her mouth and she begged for more. Where her body had ached just a moment before because of her husband, Mateo brought it to life and made her feel things she never had.
They’d kissed her over the years, but they were more like brotherly kisses than sexual ones. Mateo showed her a different kind of pleasure, which made her hotter than she ever thought she could be.
“Do you see?” he asked after he raised his head.
Her eyes slowly opened, and it took a moment to focus. She loved how he groaned when her tongue came out to taste him on her lips.
“We’re not going to have any problem, baby. We’ve saved enough money to take care of you for the rest of our lives. We can go wherever you want to live.”
“I’d want to stay close to my daughters,” she said.
Mateo tipped his head forward. “We can do that.”
“Okay.” She hugged him tightly. “You should go.”
“I will. Take a bath and get into bed. Tomorrow will be a new day.”
Aria nodded. “Will you tell Trent that I’m sorry?”
“You can tell him the next time you see him,” Mateo said, leaving through the hidden door in the linen closet’s back panel.
She bathed and got into bed. Just as she started to drift to sleep, a warm body pressed against her back, and an arm went around her waist. She wasn’t alarmed because she knew Trent’s scent like her own.
“Hello, pet,” Trent said.
She rolled to her back and pressed her hand to his face. “I’m sorry.”
He pressed a kiss into the palm of her hand. “I know. I’m sorry I got mad. It just terrifies me at the thought of you not on earth. I would just want to lie down and die because I couldn’t go on.”
Tears ran down her face. “No, don’t ever say that. I can’t even comprehend what the world would be like without you.”
“Then don’t take any chance. Let us take care of you. You’ll be free soon. I promise.”
Her heartbeat accelerated at the thought of being with them and not having to hide it. “I can’t wait.”
“Me, either. Now I want a kiss. Mateo said you gave him one, so it’s only fair.”
She nodded and grinned. “Oh, yes, please.”
He bent down, wrapped an arm around her waist, and took her lips. It started off small and gentle but soon turned to molten fire. She couldn’t prevent the moans coming from her or the way she pressed her body against his.
Trent yanked his head up. “Jesus, Mateo was right. You’re going to burn us up.”
“Is that a good thing?” she asked.
“Oh, yeah, it’s very good. Now, I’ve got to go, but I’ll see you soon. I love you.”
“I love you, too,” she said.
He pressed one more kiss to her lips and rolled away.
She wanted to call him back so badly, but they were already taking a lot of chances that could get them all killed, and that was the last thing she wanted.
