La Rosa de San Juan

Dominic Meets the New Girl

     The morning came like a thief in the night. Leighanna woke up to the sound of birds chirping, and waves crashing against rocks. The smell of fresh coffee being brewed drifted into her room through the window and swirled around Leighanna like smoke from a cigarette. She sat up in bed and looked around at the room she was in. It was a gorgeous room with beautiful marble tile, gorgeous ceiling designs, the bathroom was spacious, and it looked like it could be a little apartment. It had a small kitchen that had a refrigerator, a cute little sink, a dishwasher.

     Leighanna opened her suitcase, grabbed her toiletries and her outfit for the day and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Antonio was still asleep when she went to the bathroom so he left the door cracked a little bit so the steam could escape the bathroom. While she was in the shower, the only thing she could think about was her family. About how her dad was heartbroken the day she left. The way her mom held her goodbye as she whispered promises to her, but nothing broke her more than seeing Ashleigh breakdown in their room that made her heart break even more. 

     Tears started to fall freely down her cheeks like boulders during an avalanche until the warm water splashed onto her face, forcing her to finish her shower. She turned the water off and grabbed her towel that was hanging up on the towel rack. She wrapped the towel around her beautifully tanned body and wrapped her hair in a smaller towel. She didn't realize that Antonio who was sleeping peacefully moments ago was now leaning on the doorway of the bathroom, watching her perfectly tanned body which was adorned with tiny freckles scattered over her body. Antonio cleared his throat, catching Leighanna off guard. 

     "Oh my gosh, Antonio!" Her face turned red as roses. "How long have you been standing there?!" She was in shock and rage, but when she turned around the rage suddenly dissipated as she seen this gorgeous man leaning against the doorway with his arms crossed over his chest. There were tattoos that seemed to snake their way around his chest and torso with designs so intricate it captured her attention. 

     "Long enough to know that would look way better in my shirt and in my arms." He chuckled as Leighanna turned red in the face, her eyes tracing every muscle over and over again. 

     Antonio slowly entered the bathroom, made his way to where Leigha was standing, and placed his hands on the counter which Leigha was now leaned up against. The space between them became non-existent as he stood there lingering. His beautiful brown eyes focused on her ocean blue eyes, her eyes wandering over every tattoo she could find. Where they start and where they end until her eyes met his gaze as if he was a lion looking for his prey. Her breath became more and more shakier with every second he lingered over her fragile body. His cologne smelling of pure sensuality and masculinity. 

     With every breath she inhaled was almost intoxicating. Antonio's index finger hooked her chin like a fish taking bait off an old fishhook, forcing her to look into his big brown beautiful eyes. Unannounced, his lips crashed into hers like a tsunami onto a small, uninhabited island. A kiss of pure passion, Leigha smiled a shy smile as his hand caressed her cheek gently before. They stayed like that for what felt like forever, but it was only a minute. Kisses ensued from the lips, down to her neck. Her body melted like a hot knife to butter under the intensity of Antonio's beautiful body. 

     "I better let you get dressed, princesa." He reluctantly muttered under his breath as he pulled away from Leighanna's soft yet addicting body. "Oh, and before I forget." He paused for a second, hovering by her ear. His breath brushing her skin like a feather. "Buenos días bienvenido a Puerto Rico." His deep raspy voice floated over her ears like milk and honey.

     The absolute urge to grab him and place a sultry kiss on those big, gorgeous lips of his was overwhelming as he walked out of the bathroom and shut the door. Everything about him was perfect. From his toned muscles to his perfectly curled hair which seemed to need no help at all. From the way his tattoos slithered over his skin like a snake to the way his piercing made her insides burn with pure desire. She slipped the towel off and stared at her naked body at the little nibbles he left on her collarbones. She stared at her body for what felt like an eternity when in reality it was only fifteen seconds.
