One Night More
BLURB:
With only
hours until her big 3-0, Vanessa still has three things left on her “Before I
Turn Thirty” bucket list: have a one night stand, get a tattoo, and get
engaged. When her boyfriend dumps her during dinner, she knows a ring isn’t
happening. But no-strings sex with the handsome stranger she later meets at a
bar? Check.
Mateo never
expected to hook up with the sexy brunette. He also didn’t expect for her to
bolt before he could get her last name. Luckily, he’s about to get a second
chance.
But Vanessa
only wants to forget that night once she realizes Mateo is the owner of the
landscaping company vying for a lucrative contract at the hotel where she and
her father work. With Vanessa’s dad deciding if Mateo’s business will get the
multi-million dollar deal, they must keep things strictly professional—or else
risk consequences that could affect their families.
EXCERPT:
He didn’t say
anything. At least not right away.
Mateo stayed
quiet if only to give himself time to adjust to the erection that had just
formed in his pants. God, there was something so fucking sexy about a woman who
asked for exactly what she wanted. So why wasn’t he grabbing her by the hand
and running toward her suite?
She must have
wondered the same thing. The air between them flowed with uncertainty as her
expression changed from confident to embarrassed. It didn’t matter that he
hardly knew this woman, he still hated that he was the one responsible for that
look in her eyes.
What the fuck
was wrong with him?
“Okay, so I
guess that’s a no,” she blurted nervously. “Sorry for making things weird.
You’ve been nothing but friendly and I overstepped. So, if you’ll excuse me,
I’m going to go to my room and pretend this night never happened. It was nice
meeting you. Have a good, um, life.”
Vanessa jumped
off the stool and grabbed her purse. His hand flew out immediately and he
caught her wrist before she could take another step.
He waited
until she would look him in the eye. “Stop. You didn’t make things weird or
overstep. You just surprised me, that’s all.”
“Oh,” she
said, with a sly smile. “So you do want to have sex with me?”
Mateo loosened
his grip only to pull her closer. Her soft thighs rubbed against his knees and
he fought back a groan. “Right now, it’s about the only fucking thing I want in
this world. But…”
That sexy
smile disappeared. “But what?”
He sighed.
“I’m just not so sure it’s the best idea. For you. Or me.”
Her eyes
dropped to the floor. “Okay.”
“Shit,” he
grumbled. “You seem like such an amazing woman, Vanessa. And, believe me, if we
had met a few weeks ago, I’d be all over you right now. It’s complicated.”
Her eyes
widened and she yanked her arm from his grasp. “Oh my God. You have a
girlfriend, don’t you?”
“What? No. No
I swear I don’t. I’m single.”
“Then what’s
the problem?”
“I don’t want
to hurt you.”
She squinted.
“How would you....? Oh. I get it. It’s because I’ve never done something like
this before. You’re worried I don’t know the rules.”
He shrugged.
“Even though we just met, I’d hate to be another reason why you regretted
tonight.”
Vanessa nodded
as if she agreed and he expected her to walk away. Instead, she nudged his
knees open and walked between them until her face was only inches away from
his. He could smell her perfume--sweet, yet bold. Somehow he resisted the urge
to nuzzle her neck and take a taste.
“I’m a big
girl, Mateo. You don’t have to worry about hurting me. I understand what this
would be and I’m okay with it. In fact, I’m pretty excited about it. But I’ll
understand if you still can’t. So, this is what’s going to happen. I’m going to
head up to my room—it’s suite 600. If you don’t knock on the door in the next
fifteen minutes, then I’ll know your decision. This way you don’t owe me an
explanation either way, okay?”
“But…”
She shushed
him by placing a finger against his lips. God, how he wanted to suck on that
finger. “Fifteen minutes. Room 600.”
And then she
was gone.
