His tone was terse.
She took out some of his and hers so he wouldn't think she was packing to leave him.
His gaze wandered over her face, coming back to her eyes.
She met his searching gaze.
For a moment he merely stared at her, his expression unreadable.
Then he turned away and rubbed the back of his neck in that way he did when he knew he was wrong but wasn't sure why.
Finally he turned to her, his voice controlled.
The problem wasn't Dulce or his father.
If his family wanted him to come back, they would have to get rid of his current responsibilities.

He had tried his best to push them out of it.

He slid an arm under her and gently took her hand in his, planting a warm moist kiss in the center of the palm.
The aroma of cologne surrounded him and his breath smelled like he had recently brushed his teeth.
He released her, his tone injured.
He was up on one elbow, his attention fixed on her open blouse.
At her words, his gaze ripped from her breasts and pounced on her face.
When she re-entered the bedroom, he was propped up on a pillow, his eyes closed and the blankets tucked around his neck.
His expression was a blend of question and concern.
His gaze traveled over her face and then found her eyes.
She pulled the covers up to her chin and met his gaze solemnly.
His eyes flashed humor that obediently avoided his lips.
All the humor vanished from his eyes as he watched her.
She looked up at his intent features.
A wry smile briefly touched his lips.
