Got MILF?
relaxed. “Um, kind of. You could say she had a firm gr— I mean, she was firm.”
    Mia laughed. When she brushed her thick hair back, I noticed the row of silver rings that adorned her ear and instantly wondered what it would be like passing my tongue around them. Maybe they weren’t the only piercings she had.
    “She taught me to drive, too. That was a nightmare. If she’d been with Esteban back then, I would’ve much rather had him teach me.”
    That confused me. “Why?”
    She shrugged, but there was a glimmer in her eye that hinted at something. She pushed her hair behind her ear, and I thanked God we weren’t moving. To say she was distracting would be an understatement. She removed her black, thick-rimmed glasses and hung them on the neck of her shirt, drawing my attention to her chest.
    I gripped the wheel harder and stared ahead. “Man, I hope we get moving soon. Don’t want to leave those two stranded at the airport.”
    Mia whipped out her phone, and after thirty seconds said, “And their plane’s on time. Looks like they’ll be waiting on us.”
    After a moment of awkward silence, I decided to push ahead with what she’d said before. “So…why exactly would you rather Tio Ernesto teach you to drive?”
    She watched me for a while, as if she deciding how to phrase her next words. She opted for something simple: “It would be fun.”
    I laughed the most tense, awkward laugh ever. “What do you mean?” She shrugged again, and it drove me wild. “Seriously, how would it be fun? Or more fun than with Estella?” It felt like this conversation was leading somewhere strange and interesting; a place I simultaneously feared and longed to go.
    “Let’s just say I have my Mom’s looks… and her tastes.”
    I stared at her, and when she saw I didn’t get her, Mia rolled her eyes and clarified. “In men .”
    “Oh.” I looked back down the road, sorting through a bunch of stupid thoughts until I came to the right thing to ask next. “So… you like him?”
    There was that laugh again. “That’s one way of putting it.”
    When the silence became too long, Mia stretched like a hungry cat beside me and continued. “Mom likes all kinds of men, but I know she doesn’t exclusively like guys her own age. She loves hunting for younger meat, too.”
    Boy, don’t I know it. “And what about you?”
    “Like I said, we have the same tastes. Esteban’s attractive, but so are all the guys she’s fooled around with.”
    I could feel her gaze burning into my head. I tried to swallow, but my mouth was completely dry. Even breathing became a little difficult.
    Mia went in for the kill. “Did you enjoy it?”
    There was no point asking what she meant. I nodded. “Yes.”
    “A lot?”
    I could barely look at her. “A lot.”
    That seemed to satisfy her. But then the big question formed in my head; one that meant everything. “Does… does Esteban know?”
    She bit her lip. “Do you think he’d still be with her if he did?”
    The relief that washed over me was almost powerful enough to mask my guilt.
    “I guess she told you, then?”
    “Mom and I share everything. It sounded like you two got up to a lot of trouble.”
    Then it hit me. She’d known about El Coyote all along. She knew where this car had come from. She fucking knew everything.
    Which meant that this whole conversation could have been one big attempt at extortion. This girl, who was my age and I’d only just met, had me by the balls.
    I couldn’t let the question go unasked. “Are you going to tell him? Or anyone?”
    “That depends.” She whispered in response, but I still heard it over all the traffic.
    “On what?” My heart and stomach were just about to declare mutiny from my body.
    She bit her lip again. “How good you are at silencing me.”
    ~~~~~
    As it turned out, she did have other piercings. It felt exquisite flicking my tongue over the metal rings that encircled her nipples, and her squeals of delight when I did made
