When he suggested we check out a used car lot that he’s dealt with many times, it made me beam with excitement. I don’t know much about cars, but I know with his expertise it won’t be a problem. He’ll be honest with me and would never push me to buy something that isn’t worth it.
I’m excited about this. Especially having the day with Reno. It has me smiling as the used car lot comes into view.
“Do you have an idea what you’d like to get?” he asks as we pull into the lot.
“I don’t have much money, so something reliable and affordable,” I say.
He nods, understanding.
As we begin walking around, he stops at several cars, just checking them out. It’s a turn-on watching him do what he does. He isn’t trying to impress me, and I think that’s why it’s so hot.
“I could see you driving this,” he says, standing next to a bright red Camaro.
I drag my fingers along the side as I make my way toward him. “Oh yeah?”
He nods, poking his tongue out to wet his lips as he stares at me. “Oh yeah, it matches your hair.”
I smile and feel the heat building between us. I step closer, and his fingers reach out and lace together with mine. He gives a small grin, and I feel my heartbeat picking up as he searches my eyes.
This thing between us, whatever it is, keeps getting stronger. The way my body reacts to him when he’s near, or I simply hear his deep voice. The way his eyes seek me out when we’re in the same room or his fingers lightly touch me as he walks by. It’s doing things to me, making me want things that I’ve never wanted before.
He squeezes my fingers with his and tosses me a sexy wink.
“Let’s keep looking,” he says, his voice thick with emotion.
He turns and begins walking toward the next car and damn I could stare at him all day. The way his body moves is so full of confidence, and his muscles flex as he touches the details of each car.
“Hey, look at this,” I say, pulling out of his hold.
We both laugh when I lay on the hood of the sleek, black Corvette. His hands rest on either side of my head as he leans over my body. The laughter quickly dies as our eyes connect. I can feel the ache building and the thought of Reno relieving it on the hood of this car has me wanting to squeeze my legs together.
“Damn, Valencia, you are fucking beautiful,” he whispers.
My fingers sink into his hair as his thumb drags across my bottom lip. I push forward to press my lips to his, and someone shouts for us to get off the car.
We both laugh as he helps me slide off.
“Bad timing,” he says, smiling. “But worth the wait.”
Between the blazing sun and the heat between us, I’m getting hot. I pull my hair up, and we continue walking around the lot.
He takes every opportunity to touch me, and I do not protest. There’s something to be said about having the attention of Reno. Iris is right. He doesn’t just flirt and sleep around. He’s so much more than that.
The flirting is endless today, and I brush against him every chance I get. My tits rubbing against him or my ass pressing on him. When I drag my fingers down his back, and he gives a low growl, I know he’s as worked up as I am.
He stops at a black Honda Accord and starts looking it over. “These cars are good. You can get a lot of miles out of them,” he says, checking the body for any damage.
I watch him as he checks the tires and opens the door to check out the interior. He is concentrating on the task at hand, and I cross my arms, grinning. It’s been such a good day. I don’t want it to end.
Reno opens the hood and is checking the engine when a salesman finally approaches. They talk for a minute, and my heart races as he seems to be taking care of everything for me.
I spin around when I hear people laughing to see what’s going on. I giggle when I notice they are just happily flirting. Just like Reno and I have been. I turn back to Reno, and the salesman talking.
“El veneno protegera la corona,” a man says.
My blood turns to ice, and my body stiffens.
Fuck, my tattoo is showing. I immediately pull the hair tie out and let my hair fall back down, covering the back of my neck. The tattoo that represents my family, a rattlesnake wrapped around the purple and gold crown, is easily recognizable.
