He inhaled deeply, and found himself even more aroused at her scent, a mixture of a light perfume, and her skin, so it took him a minute or so to be able to speak again.
“Then how about if we stroll over to the bar, and I’ll get you another glass of wine? But only if you agree to tell me your name. We can check out the appetizers, so you won’t starve before your uncle shows up.”
She regarded him seriously, “Okay. I’m Rosa. But that’s the last glass of wine for me, at least until I have some dinner in front of me. I can’t afford to embarrass my uncle here, in front of all of his peers and his bosses.”
He leaned forward again, to speak even more quietly, “Then how am I going to be able to get you drunk enough to take advantage of you, beautiful señorita?”
She now gave him an arch smile and licked her lips, moving her head, so that her pony tail brushed along the hand that he had placed on the wall next to her, so that they could converse intimately in a crowded room full of people. A shiver ran along his spine, as his skin reacted to the slight movement.
“Why would you want to do that? We would both enjoy it a whole lot more, if I was sober enough to know what I was doing.”
Gregor felt sweat start to trickle down his back, as his pants became uncomfortably tight, and he shifted his position, to try to disguise his condition.
She leaned closer to him again, “Do you want me to walk in front of you, over to the bar?” She turned away from him and it seemed almost accidental that her hip brushed against the front of his pants. But then she smiled over her shoulder at him and he suddenly realized that he was also the prey in this game, not just the predator. And he also realized that this woman was a force to be reckoned with, and the game instantly became a whole lot more fun.
This is the 3rd book in my series, The Reyes Family Romances, about the love affairs of the various members of a large Hispanic family.

I've also posted some reviews, as well as a blog with some flotsum and jetsum from my brain. Let me know if you find any of it interesting.
