soft over her. He blew on her and she fell, he whispered and her body tightened.
She cried out when his mouth touched her. If there was any act that seemed depraved to her, it was the one he did to her. To be so opened to a man, to be tasted and teased, to be the focus of his desire was too difficult to bear.
She twisted but he caught her thighs in his hands and held her still. He didn’t bother to look at her face or even beyond the juncture of her thighs. She wanted to hide her face, not let him ever see her or her embarrassment.
He’d discover quickly what little this act did for her. Carolyn laid her arm over her face, hiding her eyes. She would lay still, stone cold until he stopped, his mouth wetting her and his fingers delving for sensation they’d never find. She wasn’t built that way.
It humiliated her to be like this. If he used her, if he tried to shame her, there would be nothing but pleasure. He should be able to see that, she thought. He should see how little she enjoyed what he did.
She couldn’t believe he remained unaware of her coldness. His tongue continued to lick, his mouth continued to move. His fingers delved inside and touched, seeking that place where she would jolt and find her pleasure.
Mateo was aware.
Never had he been with a woman who remained so closed, so unable to feel. She was a fighter, there was no question, but it seemed that she fought herself more than she fought the world.
Her body was fighting also. He knew how to bring a woman bliss but she fought the feelings. She twisted under his mouth, moved away from his fingers.
He didn’t believe her any more. She came into his life saying she wanted, no she needed, to be treated with disdain but the truth was slipperier than that. She wanted to be used but only if it matched some story she had scripted in her head.
He should have just let her go but for the first time in a long time he felt challenged. No doubt David sent Carolyn to him for sexual fun but there was so much more to her than that. There was so much more to how he felt when he was with her.
He pushed his fingers up to caress higher inside her and she moved suddenly. It was what he sought. There was feeling inside her, joy to be found and had.
It was just like Carolyn to be the kind of woman whose stimulation would be hard to reach. High and long. He almost chuckled. His fingers returned to the spot and stroked over it as he licked her clit with a flattened tongue.
She spread her legs farther, excitement finally blossoming inside her. Mateo suckled her clit, his own enjoyment growing as she stopped fighting and opened herself to him.
He suckled and stroked, pressed with tongue and fingers until she cried out and shuddered under him.
It was better than he imagined.

The bed moved under his weight as he shifted onto his back.
“You are not being good for my aches.” His voice was rich with humor and satisfaction.
Carolyn shifted away from his body. There was nothing to cover herself with; her suitcase was on the floor. Unthinking her hand covered her pubis.
“I think it’s best if I travel on to Germany early,” she said. “There’s no question I’m not doing you any good. As you just said.”
“I think you are wrong. And you are running. Do you often run away, Carolina?” He turned to his side to look at her. “You are the complicated one, I think.”
“I’m not complicated, I’m very basic.” She sat and turned away from him. “I have other things I should be doing. Places I should go.”
“And two days ago you said you had no place to be. I think you are running from me just as I am starting to fall under your charms.”
He sounded too happy and she didn’t like it. There was a burning in her gut, it was uncomfortable and she wanted to move, to move quickly.
“I have no charms,” she muttered getting off the bed and kneeling by her suitcase. She grabbed a simple dress and quickly shimmied it down her body.
“So
