Mariah’s head rested on his bare chest, one leg wrapped around his thigh. He must have fallen asleep for a minute. Absently, he caressed her butt. The tension and worry had drained out of him. Nothing really mattered but this incredibly giving woman lying next to him. Rico couldn’t remember when and if he’d ever felt so content, so satisfied, so fulfilled—even with Carmen.

Rico yawned and opened his eyes to find Mariah watching him. “You look pleased with yourself, bella.” With great tenderness, he traced the contours of her sweet face with his index finger. Whisker burns graced her face, breasts, and other parts of her soft, warm body. He loved branding her as his.

“You don’t think any less of me, do you, Rigo?”

Rico chuckled. “Are you kidding? Why would I do that?”

“I’ve never behaved like this before. I don’t want you thinking I do this all the time.”

“I know you don’t, Mariah. I could tell.”

“How could you tell?”

“Because everything we did, you were a little tentative at first, then you’d get braver. The innocence comes through. It’s very endearing.”

“I had no idea it could be like this. You liked it too, right?”

“Liked it?” Now there was the ultimate understatement. “Baby, I loved it.”

“I thought you did.” She traced the muscles in his arm and chest with her fingers, fascinated by the contours of his body. Rico watched her with interest.

“Men are pretty transparent when it comes to sex. And you? Do you get this turned on by any man?” His tone was teasing, yet with a serious undertone. He needed to hear her answer.

The indignant look on Mariah’s face amused him. “No. You know that. I’ve never done much; most of this is new to me.”

“Well, you catch on fast. What did you feel, Mariah? I told you, now it’s your turn.”

Mariah’s eyes met his. She looked as if she was going to cry. “Thank you.”

Rico chuckled. “Don’t thank me, it was my pleasure. Is it hard for you to talk about stuff like this?”

Mariah nodded. She buried her face in his chest and cuddled closer to him.

“It’ll get easier. Just give us time. Did that bastard rape you, Mariah?”

Mariah’s beautifully expressive eyes met his. “Not really. He just didn’t do anything to get me ready, especially the first time. It hurt so much that after that I was scared to death, and it hurt even more. I think he got some kind of perverse pleasure out of causing me pain. He hurt me on purpose and enjoyed every minute of it. I didn’t want to do it after the first time, but I felt like such a failure that I tried to cooperate with him. I only saw the tip of his abusive nature. He hid it so well for so long. I was lucky to get out when I did.”

“I hope I never meet him.” His clenched his hands into fists. Reining in his temper, he softened his expression. “I guess you must know now that it doesn’t have to be like that.
