enough. But there is something in it for me,” he added as he started walking again. He’d dropped her hand but they were still walking side by side.
“What?”
“Your happiness,” he admitted. “It’s in my power to help your sister out and to figure out what’s going on with Mal, and I know how much you love her so in a way I’m doing it for you.”
“Why would you do that?”
“To make up for being an ass, Hadley. We both know I handled things like the hothead I am, and I regret it now,” he said.
They were in front of the Grand Hotel now and he stopped to turn to face her. “Have you changed your mind?”
She shook her head. Not in the least. This right here was the man she had fallen for. It wasn’t often that Mauricio felt comfortable showing this side of himself, but she was happy he had tonight.
“I still want you,” she said. “What about you?”
“I think I’d have to be dead not to want you,” he admitted.
It was so quiet in the hotel bathroom except for “God Bless Texas” buzzing in her head, which was one of the songs she’d danced to earlier with Mo. He was being very cautious with her, which she appreciated. More than once he’d asked her if she was sure about this. But honestly, she wasn’t sure about anything except that she wanted him and didn’t want to think beyond tonight. Unlike stud muffin out there, she hadn’t slept with anyone since they’d broken up a little over eighteen months ago, and though she’d never describe herself as sex crazed, she missed it. She leaned in to look at her face in the mirror.
