Twenty Three

Cristiana

I slip my robe over my skin-colored body suit so I don’t spill makeup on it like I’ve done in the past. Ignacio offered to hire me someone to do my makeup and hair, but it just seems like such a waste of money when I can do just as good a job as anyone.

The knock that I’ve come to expect makes me smile.

“Come in,” I call, knowing it’s Fionn.

Hearing him open the door, I don’t look up, unable to stop the critical final stage of mascara application.

“I gotta say, Fionn, I really love your habit of checking on me before each show.”

I replace the applicator and tighten the tube before placing it back in my case and look in the mirror, only to see blue eyes looking back at me. My head whips his direction, just to make sure his presence isn’t wishful thinking, and I stand to face him.

Why is he here? It must be to oversee the final show… to make sure his team is doing their jobs well. It can’t be for me… can it?

I’d say no, but the way he looks at me, like I’m something to behold, is hypnotic. I notice behind his expression is a tired man. Bags collect under his eyes, and his unshaven face has at least a week’s worth of neglect. He is still so devastatingly handsome, my knees threaten to go weak. I have an overwhelming need to wrap my arms around him, pull him to my bosom, and take care of him.

His face morphs from adoring to hungry in a second. Stalking toward me, he looks almost predatory as he backs me onto the table behind me.

“Remember the last time I had you in front of a lighted dressing room mirror, cariño?”

Yeah, I remember, güero.

I shiver at the year-old memory and stare unblinking, unsure what to do. Wait… why is he bringing it up? Oh, I get it. He’s just caught up in the moment. I can’t let myself hope he actually came here for me. It’s stupid wishful thinking.

“Last time, though, you weren’t wearing this.” He fingers the sleeve of my short robe. “But you did lie and swear you didn’t want me.” He steps closer, gently nudging my knees open with his thighs so he can move between them. His fingertips skim up the outsides of my thighs, and my breath catches. “Bet you can’t say that now.”

When his hands get to my ass, he pulls me to him firmly.

“Fuck,” he says under his breath, running his fingers down my hips. “Please tell me you are not naked under this thing right now.”

I shake my head, unable to find my voice.

He smiles. “Good, because I wouldn’t keep my promise this time if you were.” Leaning in, he whispers, “And you’d miss your last show.”

Pinche bodysuit.

When he chuckles, I realize I said that out loud.

“My investigation is over,” he murmurs, running his nose along my jaw.

I nod and clear my throat. “I heard.”

I feel him smile, and he pulls back, fixing his eyes on my mouth.
