“I’m not your problem,” I tell him.

“What if I want you to be?” he asks. Brown eyes search my own, trying to understand what’s going through my head. But if I’m honest, I have no idea. This week has been … different. Not bad different, though I’m not sure if it’s good different either. It’s just, different. I feel like I’m playing some elaborate game where we each have a role and a character we’re expected to be and I’m terrified to get my part wrong.

I’m already coming to rely on him and it’s only been a week. He plays with Luis in the evenings while I get caught up. He helps with bedtime and he makes being a single mom so much easier than it ever was before.

I’m getting attached when I shouldn’t be. I don’t want to mess everything up. Emilio’s only concern should be Luis. I’m not his responsibility. We need rules. Boundaries.

But … his words from earlier this week come to me.

Date me.

Would that be such a bad thing?

Emilio’s eyes darken when I still don’t answer, and his thumb drags along my jawline. “Mariposa?”

He hasn’t called me that since…

“Why did you call me that?” I ask and yeah, I’m avoiding his question. I’m woman enough to admit it. Doesn’t mean I’m going to feel bad about it.

The corners of his mouth quirk up. “Because the night we met, you decided to spread your wings and fly. You transformed from the shy prep-school girl into a sexy-as-sin vixen. Mi mariposa.” My butterfly.

My breath hitches. “A moth,” I correct for no real reason. I know mariposa translates to butterfly in Spanish, but I need to dispel this moment.

Emilio dips his head toward me, his warm breath skating across my cheek.

“Fine. You can be the most beautiful moth if you’d prefer.”

I swallow hard. How does he manage to make that sexy?

“Do you remember that night? How good we were together?”

I gasp when he leans even closer, his stubble scraping along my skin. Heat rushes between my legs and my thighs clench as memories assail me. That night was so much more than I’d expected.

A strong arm wraps around my waist and pulls me flush against his chest, and his free hand cups my jaw, right before his lips press against mine. My heart pounds in my chest as his mouth teases my own. Sucking in a breath, I pull back before the kiss can go much further.

“Emilio—?”

His eyes are hooded and glazed with desire. “Don’t. Don’t overthink this. I want you. And I’m pretty sure you want me too.”

I exhale in a rush as Emilio’s hands find their way to the back of my head, tangling in my hair. He tugs me toward him again, his lips an open invitation I’m not strong enough to deny. I didn’t realize how badly I craved him. How much deeper my need for him has grown these past few days.

I sag against him, allowing the kiss to deepen, and the next thing
