Matt followed Pedro through a different door. The library was equally luxurious with brown very comfortable looking leather couches and shelves of neatly arranged books. He noticed John one of the bodyguards who had also escorted them inside took the stance of a guard outside the door. Once inside Pedro closed the doors and asked “You don’t seem yourself. Is something wrong? What happened at the jail?”
Matt had to think quickly “They tried every trick in the book to delay Melody’s release. I’m just a bit exhausted I guess. However she is here now”
“Do you think she is compromised? Can we trust her?”
“I think we can trust her. She has been a bit moody but I guess spending a week behind bars can do that to you. She has been questioned multiple times, she is no doubt tired and confused” Matt then added “They didn’t want to release her. We forced their hand. They did not have enough evidence that Melody was an active member of the cartel”
“What about yourself? You need to take some time off now that Melody has been released. You work too hard. I want you to quit this lawyer business. Ted can find himself another assistant. The mother of my children should not be on a wage”
There it was. Matt felt the blood drain from his face. There was now no doub that Pedro was Amelia’s fiancé. How was he going to cope with this?
But before any words could form on Matt’s now luscious lips, Pedro continued “Yes you’ve made that argument multiple times. I know you are not going to be a meek mild Mexican wife and stay in the background. You are a career woman and need to work. You have told me that multiple times. But why not make your work managing our finances? You have the brains and it would allow us to keep things in the family. It would work”
Matt suddenly had a bright idea. The organisation would love to know the real state of Pedro’s finances, or was Pedro talking about the cartel? This was an unexpected opportunity. “I’ll admit I could do with a break. This last week has been exhausting (Matt was only guessing but he could assume Amelia would have been very busy since all the arrests). And yes. I would like a better understanding of our finances” he paused he had to word this carefully, not appear too eager “You would have to allow me full access and promise to discuss decisions with me, only then I might think about it” He decided to play reluctant. Hopefully Pedro would bite.
Pedro suddenly had a huge smile on his face “You are beautiful Amelia. You have made my day” he grasped Matt and pulled their bodies together. Matt found himself being kissed passionately. He found strong fingers digging into his bum and holding their bodies together.
Matt pushed away “Not now. I’m tired and stinky” he didn’t know what else to say but he clearly had to stop Pedro. Matt found himself blushing, he knew his female body was responding to the kiss.
“I have a bit of work to do. You take your time. Enjoy a long hot shower or even a bath. I’ll see you at dinner” Matt was released. He quickly left the room.
