CHAPTER 14

Nicolette

When I wake, I’m alone. I’m cranky as hell about it until I roll over to find it’s almost eleven in the afternoon. Oops. I’m quick to shower and dress, hoping Manuel is still home.

I pick a white lace shirt dress and pair flat sandals with it. Downstairs, Lupe directs me to the pool in the back of the house.

There are two men at the table. My mother is feeding Elias. They are clearly Manuel’s brother and father. Both stand when they see me. His father smiles wide. “Good afternoon, my dear. My hope is one day you will call me Dad. However, I will happily answer to Joe.”

I don’t miss the way neither man attempts to extend their hand to me. Offering him a smile, I nod. “Thank you. For now, I’ll go with Joe. If it’s all right?”

“Of course. Your husband is in the pool.” I blush when I realize he notices me looking for Manuel. “He loves the water. If ever you wake in the middle of the night and can’t find him, look for him in the pool. This is my other son, Felix. We decided to take a bit of a break and all have a sit down to reassess with my wife’s death.”

Felix nods. “I hope you’ll understand I’m not going to offer you my hand as I like my face the way it is. It’s a pretty face. And your husband will enjoy breaking it if I dare to so much as get within touching distance.”

Blushing, I nod before sitting down at the lone empty spot.

“Breakfast and lunch are not on a schedule, so please ask the kitchen for whatever dish you would like. When I’m home, I prefer dinner at eight, please dress formally. Your clothes will arrive from the house later today for your stay over the next few weeks.”

“Weeks?”

“They discovered mold beneath the hot water heater. Manuel is going overboard and having the whole area torn out and redone. So, weeks,” Joe chuckles.

“I’m sorry. I hope we aren’t an inconvenience.”

The smile leaves his face as he studies me. “Family isn’t an inconvenience. Family can be heaven and hell, sometimes at the same time. But it is never inconvenient. I will treasure the time I get to spend with my grandchildren.”

I’m barely able to take in his words when my eyes find Manuel. He’s walking up the steps out of the pool. It doesn’t matter I spent yesterday studying every inch of his body with my tongue, I’m still in awe at the sight of him in nothing but black swim trunks hanging low on his hips.

He spots me, and his smile goes straight to my chest. I blink, and he’s bending down over me. His lips flutter too lightly over my cheek. “I wanted to wake you with my tongue, only I didn’t dare. Your pussy was sore when I let you fall asleep early this morning,” he whispers in my ear.

Blushing, I bury my face in his neck.

Laughter from the other side of the table pulls me from him.
