Excerpt
“Climb gates around here often?” he asked, no
censure in his voice. I realized he spoke English as fluently as he spoke
Spanish.
He was clad in navy basketball shorts, a pair
of Nike running shoes and he was just sweaty enough for me to realize he’d likely
been working out. I swear I was hypnotized by all of his exposed skin, so much
so that I could just about remember my own name at that moment. I’d have blamed
the fall for my dazed and confused frame of mind but that wasn’t it at all. It
was purely because of him—the sexy Spanish-speaking god who’d saved me from
certain harm. My eyes trailed along his muscular but lean body hungrily as I
catalogued just how ridiculously gorgeous he was. I was hypnotized by his
six-pack and the set of V-cut muscles I had an insane urge to trail my fingers
over.
I’d have kept right on staring had he not
cleared his throat. I cringed as I came back to reality and realized he’d asked
a question I hadn’t retained.
“Um, huh?” I asked, perfectly clueless.
“I was asking if you’re a professional gate
climber,” he said huskily.
“No, I—”
“She’s really fine after a fall from that
height?” the officer asked as he came through the gate.
“She never hit the ground,” my savior said,
“since I caught her.”
The cop looked almost as impressed as I felt.
I’d have heaped praised onto the stranger who saved me had I not remembered
that I needed to be focused on a more pressing concern.
“So now that I’m on this side I really need
to get my—”
The officer pinned me with a look that left
no doubt that he was in charge. “Miss, please remain silent while I work out
what’s going on here.”
I pursed my lips and tried to contain my
annoyance. I knew he was just doing his job but all I cared about was finding
Elvis.
The officer turned back to the Spanish
model—I naturally assumed he modeled because he looked like he belonged in
sensual looking black and white ads for men’s cologne. You know the kind of ads
I’m talking about, right? There’s always a sexy guy giving you the let’s have
all the sex look with a set of eyes that are clearly attempting to hypnotize
you into buying something.
He was at least six feet tall and had a head
full of thick, dark hair. His face was perfectly proportioned from forehead to
chin, and I could find nothing that didn't appear to be symmetrical. He had a
ridiculously sexy closely trimmed beard that I wanted to trace with my fingers
and his jaw was the sexiest thing I’d ever seen. I turned crimson when my eyes
trailed up and met his and I realized he was observing me—which meant he knew
I’d been staring at him. Again.
I bit my lip and tried not to blush as I
blinked like an idiot. I was relieved to have a reason to look to the police
officer when he cleared his throat to get our attention. “Are you the one who
called about the disturbance down the side of the house?” he asked.
I couldn’t resist the urge to let my eyes
wander back to the Spanish god. I knew just enough Spanish to determine that if
his looks were rated on the salsa scale he’d be called el más caliente.
His eyes were on me as he answered the cop.
“My brother called, yes.”
“What’s your name, sir?”
“Alejandro Cruz.”
Even his name was sexy. My skin felt hot and
prickly under his gaze. Anxious for a reprieve, I looked back to the officer.
The cop nodded as he took note of it on his
pad. “And your brother's name?”
“Rafael Cruz.”
“And you?” the cop asked with a head nod
toward me.
“Kaya Porter.”
“Can you spell that?”
“K-a-y-a,” I answered.
“That’s a weird name,” the officer said as he
wrote it down.
I wasn't sure if he was being rude or not so
I shrugged and said nothing. Alejandro growled something under his breath that
I couldn’t understand. A shiver went down my back at the way the words rolled
off his tongue. His Spanish accent fascinated me. I’d never been one to care
one way or the other about a man’s voice, but his did things to me. I wondered
if audio erotica was a thing. If it were, I would pay a subscription fee to
hear him talk all day.
“So were you trying to escape or get in?” the
officer asked, ruining my good fantasy about an Alejandro Cruz dirty talk
subscription service.
“I was trying to get in,” I answered stiffly,
annoyed that the officer had already forgotten everything I’d said, “I told
you—”
“No, no, she is not the disturbance,”
Alejandro interjected. “My brother thought someone was trying to steal God only
knows what from the exterior of the house. He was asleep and heard something
outside his bedroom window and panicked. He shouldn’t have called the
police—it’s animal control that we need. Some dickhead bird went through the
trash that my brother forgot to secure and he’s been leading him on one hell of
a chase around the yard.”
My eyes narrowed and my hands went to my hips
as I stared down the model. “Don’t talk about my little buddy like that,” I
snapped.
