Meet Jessica and Luis from The Family She Never Met - Caridad Pineiro® Romance Author

I loved combining the story of how Jessica, Lara, and Carmen build a future together with the romance between Jessica and Luis, Carmen’s right-hand man. It was a romance that started off with them almost as adversaries but slowly blossomed into something wonderful and emotional. Today I’m sharing a short excerpt where Jessica and Luis are finally admitting to what they feel for each other in The Family She Never Met!

Excerpt

Her breath trapped in her chest and her heart pounding in her ears, Jessica waited, anticipation twisting her gut into a knot.

Luis rocked back and forth on his heels and looked away before nailing her with his gaze. “I am. I think I’m falling in love with you too.”

He grasped her hand and she took the lead, tugging him toward the stairs and up to her room.

At her door she hesitated, but then pushed through, eager for what would follow.

As she turned to face him, he was immediately there, moving his hands to her back to cradle her close. Her body was flush against his and she shifted against him, but he stilled her motion.

“Shh, mi amor. There’s no need to rush. We have all night,” he whispered and kissed her again.

He tasted of rum and cigars and Luis, and she took it all in. Took all of him in. The press of his body. The way his muscles shifted beneath her hands as he tightened his hold on her and walked her back toward the bed.

As her knees bumped the edge of the bed, he stopped, sat, and urged her in between the V of his thighs.

With his help, she quickly undressed, baring herself to him.

“Dios, you’re beautiful,” he said, encircled her waist with his hands, and drew her near.

Luis splayed his hand across the smooth skin of her back as he caressed her.

She kissed his forehead and whispered his name. “Luis. Please.”

As much as he wanted to wait and make this first time special, he needed her too badly.

In a flurry of action, he ripped off his clothes with her assistance, and they fell onto the bed together, kissing and caressing and laughing. Joyful in anticipation of what was about to happen.

She lay beneath him, gazing at him as she skimmed her hand across his face and then up to brush away a stray lock of hair. She seemed about to say something, but then held back and instead leaned up to kiss him. She shifted her hand to his shoulder and urged him down.

He went willingly, eager to be with her. Eager to taste her lips again and her breasts and her skin and everything that was Jessica.

He didn’t think he could ever get enough of her.
