International Temptation #2

Entangled Indulgence
Constantly working to cover her mother’s medical bills, London needs to have a little fun on this vacation. First on her list: Kiss a hot Spaniard, and her knight-in-shining-Armani at the train station seems to fit that bill—he’s local and definitely hot! But when she discovers the man charming her is really CEO of the hotel she’s reviewing—supposedly secretly—she decides to see how far he’ll go to make her dream vacation a once in a lifetime experience.
Mateu shows her the romance of his city and his soul, but when the truth comes out, the fun is over, and it turns out nobody wins in a game of hearts.
She picked up a tomato as
Señor Bustillo suggested. “He is adorable.” Mateu chuckled softly. “He isn’t
the only one.”
“Now, choose a bright,
deep red tomato. No bruise, no blemish. Yes?” Bustillo spoke to the group. She
turned hers over in her hand, carefully inspecting for marks, cracks, or soft
spots.
“You want a heavy tomato.
Ripe and juicy makes for tomato with weight.” As the group inspected their
finds, Señor Bustillo checked in with each. “Good. Good.”
“Give gentle squeeze. You
want a tomato that responds to your fingers, like the perfect woman, yes?” He
directed the last part at Mateu, making London want to roll her eyes.
All men were the same.
Mateu wiggled his brows, and she chuckled softly. It wasn’t his searing good
looks she needed to guard herself against, it was his playful side. While
Bustillo spoke, Mateu stayed close. She could feel the heat radiating from him,
though he didn’t touch her.
Choosing a plump tomato
from the crate, he wrapped his large hand around it in a light grip. He gave a
slight squeeze, and the atmosphere seemed to go from comfortable to sweltering
as her imagination took off on a path all its own. Holding it out to her, he
asked, “What do you think?”
She blinked twice.
“Perfect.” She snapped her eyes to him. “I mean…” Mateu’s smile was slow and
deliberate. She couldn’t help but fall for his teasing. It reminded her of how
fun living could be when stress wasn’t a persistent, heavy blanket.
“Finally, test the tomato
for a sweet, earthy odor. You want strong scent, not light.” Bustillo’s
animated voice boomed over the din of the crowd. Pulling herself together,
London ignored the look in her sexy concierge’s eyes and dipped her nose toward
his hand. She smelled the tomato close to the stem as directed. “Strong and
sweet, just as Señor Bustillo suggests.”
“Strong and sweet. I’m
glad you approve.” She raised a brow. “We’re talking about your tomato.”
“My favorite topic.”
