Yet to make a move

She roughly threw a T-shirt and Joggers to Pedro without looking at him. His demand for those specifics didn't come as a surprise to her as she knew he would still remember her line of dressing. She was always one who was comfortable with always appearing like a boy. Back then in school some of her friends tease het with the name Tom boy. In every relationship she has been it as always been a problem as she always end up taking most of the clothes of her boyfriends. But now the reverse was the case as Pedro was the one taking clothes from her.

After she was sure he would have wore the clothes she turned to look at him as she was prepared to start questioning him.

To her surprise he wore only the joggers while he hung the shirt around his neck. Again her eyes betrayed her as they ran a marathon through his body down to his member below. She had difficult time concentrating. Pedro was now her kind of man. He had been always taller than her because she was of average height hence you can see why she is angry with the fact that Anthony was short. But together with that tallness he had added a lot of muscle.

"I thought you wanted to wear a shirt hence you asked for it" She said with her voice drowning away with each word.

"Yes I did but on a second thought I think I will not. " he replied with a mischievous smile on his face as he took a space on the bed some distance from her.

It was when he sat this close to her that she noticed for the first some scares on his body. Running from his chest down to his abdomen. This was something she knew for sure he never had while they were dating. On his right shoulder she could see one that suggested a bullet wound. The scares were supose to be ugly but they looked artistic and even made his body more attractive to her. She imagined herself running her hands through those scares.

"You seem to have a lot on your mind from the way your eyes keep ravishing my body. You can have it all you need to do is ask politely " Pedro teased her very well aware of the effect he was having on her.

His statement aided Haley in having a grip of her self as she now felt he was working to make her lose concentration. But she decided to ignore his statement.

"If you are refusing to wear a shirt then I should at least give you some space. " she said as she attempts to move to a chair but Pedro quickly moved to hold her tightly in an embrace that she didn't expect. He had his hands wrapped around her and her head was placed against his chest. She could hear the rhythm from his heart beat and she could tell he was very calm inside. She inhaled deeply and was satisfied that he had a nice scent on him. He was always a far better option than Anthony she reasoned

"Thank you very much for allowing me stay here and thank you for believing I didn't kill Joan " Pedro whispered in her ears bringing his mouth so close that it sent sensations through her body.

For someone who he avoided doing anything with Anthony all this while the present situation Pedro placed her was really a tempting one as all the hormones in her body suddenly became alerted to the touch of a what she termed a real man.

She had clear understanding of where this would lead to if she continued to stay in his arms but what was she to do when she still has a case to solve with limited time.
