from Aaron. Before I did something stupid. Or reckless. Something like

almost kissing him.

A low groan climbed up my throat, and I had no other choice but to

muffle it with my hand. The sudden motion made the mattress bounce under

me.

Shit.

Aaron stretched beside me.

Don’t wake up, please. Please, universe. God. Anyone. I just need a

couple of minutes to gather myself before I have to face him.

I felt Aaron’s body settle back, his breathing remaining deep and

constant.

Returning my hand back to my side—very fucking slowly—I thanked the

universe for listening to me this one time and promised I’d make up for it. I’d

go to church with Abuela next time I came home, I swore.

I was being a complete chicken, but I wanted a few minutes to myself.

Just so I could appease everything that kept darting through my mind. To

make peace with it and move on like nothing had ever happened. Also, to

hunt down a painkiller and kill the throbbing in my head. Coffee would be

good too.

And the first step was getting the hell out of this bed—from under the

arm I had desperately been gripping for dear life only a few hours ago—as

fast and as quietly as I possibly could before Aaron’s eyes opened and found

me losing my shit.

Lifting Aaron’s heavy limb as delicately and slowly as I could, I rolled to

the side, right to the edge of the bed, and then I deposited his muscular body

part back on the comforter. Aaron moved, turning on his back and lifting that

arm that had been on top of me so it rested behind his head.

That position caused his biceps to flex and look all big and delectable and

Jesus Christ, Catalina.

Pulling my eyes off the man on the bed, I moved through the room on my

tiptoes. I made my way out and closed the door behind me. My head fell on

the wooden surface, and my eyes closed.

“Vaya, vaya. Mira quién ha amanecido,” a high-pitched voice welcomed

me from outside the kitchen. “Buenos días, prima.”

The blood in my body froze.

I couldn’t catch a freaking break.
