hot as ever in one of the henley style shirts
he seems to favor, and faded jeans, along with biker boots. Does he
have a motorcycle? I don’t even know, which makes me wonder what
we’re even doing here.
    “What’s that frown for?”
    “I just realized how little I know about
you.”
    “I’ll be happy to tell you anything you want
to know while I cook you dinner.”
    I nod. I know it’s not fair since I can’t be
completely honest with him, but there’s a lot I can still share
with him. “You can ask me things, too.”
    “In Portuguese?”
    “We can try it. I’m not sure I’m there yet,
but I’m game,” I tell him as we get in the elevator.
    “Speaking of game, Miles got me access to
the bottom floor here so I can use the batting cages. If you’re not
too tired after dinner, do you want to hang out with me while I see
if my arm still works?”
    “You haven’t tried to hit yet?”
    “No.”
    “Are you sure you want me there?”
    “Yeah. I’m sure.”
    “I’ll be there. Tonight, and any other night
I can.”
    “Thank you.”
    “You don’t have to thank me. It’s what
girlfriends do.”
    “Are you my girlfriend?”
    “Oh, um, no. I mean...merda...you said you
wanted this to be real..I shouldn’t have assumed.”
    “Let me rephrase the question,” he tells me
placing his fingers over my mouth. “Você vai ser minha namorada,
Sierra Taylor?”
    “Sim. Yes, Joel Cruz. I would love to be
your girlfriend.”
    “Now that we have that settled, let’s get
some food in you.”
    “They did feed me while I was being treated,
you know.”
    “Not like I’m going to feed you.”
    “That sounded kind of dirty,” I tell him as
I open my door.
    He swings me around, and drops the grocery
bags as he pulls me into his arms. “You have no idea how dirty my
thoughts of you are, Gatinha. No fucking idea.”

Chapter 5
    Sierra
     
    I have no shame. None at all, and it feels
fucking awesome. I mean, how could I not kiss Joel after he said he
has dirty thoughts about me?. My lips are sipping from his as he
lets me lead this kiss. I have no doubt he won’t always let me take
control, but he’s giving it to me now, and I’m not going to waste a
second of my time in the driver’s seat.
    “I have to make dinner,” Joel says, pulling
back from me.
    “Mais um beijo.”
    “One more,” he responds with a smile.
    He meets me halfway, and we kiss again. I
drag it out as long as I can, and we’re both laughing as we try to
catch our breath. “I love kissing you.”
    “Hmm. You said you weren’t sure you could
answer if I ask you questions in Portuguese. What if I give you a
kiss for every one you can?”
    “What if I suck? Ooh,
that’s the answer. If I suck at the questions, you’ll let me
suck you to make
up for it.”
    “Porra.”
    “We can do that, too.”
    “Are you medicated right now, Sierra?”
    “No. I’m just feeling horny. I’ve waited
weeks for you.”
    “I was trying to be a good guy.”
    “Good guys fuck girls. It happens.”
    He pats one of the
barstools. “Sit here, and let’s get to know each other. I really do
have to get some practice in tonight. If, and it’s a big if , I can still move my
arm after that, we’ll take things further.”
    “Oh. Of course. I don’t want to stop you
from getting back to playing.”
    “You’re not, Gatinha. I want you just as
much as you want me. Trust me on this.”
    “But we’ve just been focusing on me. We
should be focusing on you, too.”
    “My career wasn’t part of our
arrangement.”
    “You said our arrangement was stupid.”
    “It was.”
    “So let’s talk about baseball.”
    “Not tonight. I want to learn all about you
while I cook and we eat. After that, I want to try and hit some
balls.”
    “And then I can maybe play with your bat and
balls.”
    “You did not just say that,” he says with a
groan.
    “I’m pretty sure I did.”
    “You’re not a ball bunny, Sierra.”
    “I’m well aware of that, Joel.”
    “So
