"Te ves muy sabroso."

I choke out a laugh, swallowing down the last bite of the fried rice I made for dinner. Raine beams from her spot at the sink, where she washes her hands. "Gracias, cariño."

She grins at me, her gray eyes glittering mischievously. "De nada, sexy."

Biting my lip, I smother another fit of laughter. "Where's this coming from, baby?"

Raine shrugs, turning off the water. As she dries her hands on the hand towel, she says, "I figured I should start learning Spanish. I want to know what you say about me to your mother."

Over the years, she's picked up a few phrases and basic words, but nothing like this. I suspect she used Google Translate to her advantage, but hey, I'm not complaining. It's endearing. Even if her pronunciation is shit.

I rinse off my bowl and place it in the dishwasher before turning around to her. "I tell her about what a pain in the ass you are."

She feigns an offended gasp, whipping the hand towel at my ass. I jump out of the way, grabbing her by her sweatshirt and tugging her towards me.

Raine's arms wrap around my waist, and I nuzzle her neck, breathing in her scent. Her hands descend to my ass, squeezing it playfully throught my sweatpants, and I nip at her earlobe, tickling her sides. She shrieks, giggling and shoving me away.

And then she yawns, covering her mouth with her hand. With our busy schedules, we always end up having dinner late. I kiss her forehead. "Shower and go to bed. I have some work to do, but I'll try to finish quickly."

Raine nods, pecking me on the lips before heading to our bedroom.

30 minutes later, I hear the sound of footsteps behind me. Raine, clad in flannel pants and one of my t-shirts, pads towards the spot where I'm sitting, dropping down on to the couch next to me. She curls up next to me, smelling like citrus, and places her head on my shoulder. "I thought I told you to go to sleep, sweetheart."

"Yeah, I know," she mumbles against my shoulder, eyes closed. "But I didn't want to fall asleep without you."

I work a little while longer, her steady breaths calming me. When my fingers cramp up from typing like a maniac, I curse and shut my laptop.

Raine stirs awake, blinking her eyes open. She looks at me, eyes sleepy, and frowns. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," I murmur, tugging her on to my lap. "Just frustrated."

She dips her head, burrowing it into my shoulder. Her lips graze my pulse point right before she trails hot, wet kisses up my neck and jaw. Suddenly, my frustration dissipates, and I squeeze her thighs in warning. "Raine," I say, her kisses making my vision hazy. "No."

Raine pulls my bottom lip with her teeth. "Why not?"

"Because you're tired, and if we start something, I won't be able to stop."

She nudges my nose with hers. "I'm not tired anymore."

I sigh. "Sweetheart—"

"Shut up and fuck me, Arrow."

I stare up at her, and amusement dances in her bright silver eyes. She wraps her hand around my neck, tugging on my hair.

Cursing, I stand up and she wraps her legs around my waist instantly. I crush her mouth to mine and swallow up her moans. Kicking our bedroom door open, I turn around and push her up against it, closing it shut.
