CHAPTER 5

Isadora's POV

- The Montez Mansion -

Why the sudden interest in me? I've been invisible all my life and now this tall, sexy tattooed man... who could have any woman at the drop of a dime, wants me? He calls me kitten, which I cant lie, I love when he calls me that. I dont know why Im fighting this so much. What's the worst that could happen? We date, have mind blowing sex, I fall to fast, he dumps me and breaks my heart? The possibility made me sigh but I quickly shook it off.

I stare at him while he parks the car behind another expensive one. He takes off his seat belt, turned to me and placed his hand on my thigh.

"You ready?" He asked.

Fuck it! If bad becomes worse, I could still say I tapped that......... who am I kidding, I would spiral and I know it. I nod eagerly, but he furrowed his brows and tilted his head to the side.

"Come here." He said grabbing me and lifting me onto his lap, my butt resting on the steering wheel. Pulling me closer, my butt slides across....

*HONK*

I cover my mouth to hold in my laugh while he lets his go. One of his hands finds its way to my lower back, pulling me off the wheel. Fully into his lap. His other hand cups my face and brings my forehead to rest on his.

"No one will ever disrespect you while I'm around. I will beat anyone's ass who tries to touch you and I will kill anyone who tries to take you from me." He says pulling away slightly to look into my eyes. Sometimes you just have to take that dive off the deep end and see what happens. No one has ever talked to me like this or treated me this way. No one besides Josie and Cass have shown me genuine kindness.

So... Im going to dive in head first with this man, and if I die of a broken heart... well at least I can say I was truly happy at this moment. So here goes nothing. I grab his face and kiss him. Holding nothing back. When I pull back he raises an eyebrow and smirks.

"Don't start something you're not prepared to finish kitten. Get me too riled up and Ill make you scream my name in this car." He growled.

"Quién demonios está haciendo todo ese ruido!?" (Who the hell is making all that noise) A beautiful woman stomps into the driveway and screams. She stops and looks straight at us. "Rafael Santigo Montez, date prisa y entra en esta casa! (Hurry up and get in this house) And stop honking your horn!" She stomps away back into the house.

"We better go. She'll shoot me in the leg again if I dont." He chuckled. What the hell did he just say? His mother shot him in the leg? And by the way he said it.... on purpose!

"Again?" I asked shocked.

"Momma didn't raise a pussy." He laughed. I rolled my eyes. Before I could stop myself, I knew I fucked up. I always roll my eyes at stupid comments. I know I have at least that much right to do so. "Oh kitten..." He strokes my hair behind my ear. "I'm gonna have to break you of that bad habit."

***

With his arm around my shoulder, we enter the kitchen and are met with shocked expressions and disbelief faces... except for one. A little girl, roughly around the age of seven or eight is smiling from ear to ear.

"Santi!" She gets a running head start and leaps into his arms. He catches her with a grunt and smothers her in kisses until she giggles. This side of him is what's gonna make it hard not to fall for him so quickly.

"Hi princess. Miss me?" He asked smiling. She nods quickly and smiles back. "I have someone I want you to meet." She looks at me and squeals.

"Are you my brother's girlfriend!? I heard a lot about you! Santi likes to talk about you a lot, but dont worry he only says nice things... like how pretty you are and how much he likes your kisses and.... mmmmmummumum..."

Rafael quickly covers her mouth with his hand but she keeps talking. Everyone in the room chuckles, while he turns red in the face. He's adorable when he blushes. Who knew a little girl like her would have such power over a man like him.

"Okay, I love you my princess but please stop talking." He begs. She giggles but its muffled by his enormous hand on her face.

"Dont be rude hijo, introduce us to your lovely friend." (Son) An older gentleman, I'm assuming is his father says. Rafael puts the little girl down and clears his throat.

"Isadora, this is my family. Family this is Isadora Fiorella Cortez..."

"Santi's girlfriend!" The little girl shouts.

"That's right beautiful." I wink at her and she giggles. I look back at Rafael who has an expression on his face that makes me wish my phone wasn't dead so I could capture this moment forever. He clears his throat again and continues.

"This is my father, Emiliano Lucas Montez." His father grabs my hand and kisses it.

"Encantado de conocerte hermosa." (Nice to meet you beautiful)

"This is my mother, Gabriella Elena Montez."

"Hello querida, (Darling) it's nice to finally meet you! My son hasn't stopped talking about you since he met you." She smiles but it soon fades when she catches Rafael rolling his eyes. In less than a millisecond she went from happy to mad. Scariest millisecond of my life. "No pongos los ojos en blanco joven! Te doblaré sobre mi rodilla justo aquí frentea tu chica! No pienses que no lo haré!" (Do not roll your eyes at me young man! I will bend you over my knee right here in front of your girl! Dont think I wont!)

I try my hardest to hold back a laugh, but it comes out anyway. Rafael looks at me sternly.

"Its rude to roll your eyes babe." I reminded him. He glares at me. I'm probably gonna regret that later but right now..... totally worth it. The little girl next to him tugs on his shirt with excitement.

"Introduce me next Santi!" She squeals. He picks her back up and rests her on his hip.

"And this is my baby sister Mirella Sofia Montez." He smiles.

"I'm his princess!" She states proudly.

"Yes you are." He chuckles.

"Can you be my princess too?" I asked her. She gasps really loud and lunges herself at me with open arms. I grab her and she clings herself to me with a tight hug.

"I'm everyone's princess but I can be your princess too!" She squeales and grips onto me tighter.

"Well thank you princess. Im honored." I adjust her onto my hip as Rafael continues with the introductions.

"Then we have my brothers... Alfonzo Hiro Montez."

"Hey."

"Ishmael Iago Montez."

"Doll." He winks.

"Javier Ramiro Montez."

"Hello." He waves.

"And Enrico Santiago Montez."

"Sup." He nods.

"Have you eaten? We were just about to make dinner." Gabriella asks.

"We already ate. We were on a date when these two jar heads showed up out of nowhere." Rafael points behind him. Case and Johnny walk around the corner and Mirella screams, wiggling herself out of my arms. She runs and jumps into Johnny's.

"Hey there princess! You've grown up so much since I last saw you." He hugs and spins her around.

"Are you staying? Please say that you're staying! Pleeease!?" She begs and hugs him tightly around his neck as if he might walk out the door any second.

"Im staying princess." He laughs.

"Does that mean you're back?" Javier asked.

"We're back." Case smiles.

"Hell yeah! The Terrible Seven! Back from the dead!" Enrico exclaims. Case laughs.

"Im going to give Isadora a tour of the house." Rafael said grabbing my hand.

"Be back in two hours. Do not be late for family game night. Isadora, you are playing too, so don't plan on leaving any time soon." She waved a serious finger at me. Rafael kissed her on the cheek. I nodded. Definitely not going to argue with her. Not after what I've seen.

"Si madre." He said pulling me out of the room. (Yes mother.)

- Later That Night -

Rafeal showed me around the house, the game room, living room which was a large as an entire park and his room.

During our little make out session in his room Mirella requested we play dress up with her and Santi had to dress up a Princess.

As we're saying goodbye, his mother comes up and hugs me.

"It was so nice to meet you my dear. Now don't be afraid to come over whenever you want okay? You make my son happy and I haven't seen him like that in a long time. Thank you so much."

"Thank you Mrs. Montez."

"Please, call me Gabriella or Gabbi... hell call me mom if that makes you happy." She smiled. I giggle.

"Calm down mom." Rafael huffs.

"Si mi amor, don't overwhelm the girl in one night." (Yes my love) Emiliano protests.

"No me digas qué hacer! Si quiero ahogarla con amor, lo haré. Ella hace feliz a mi bebé y eso me hace feliz." (Don't tell me what to do! If I want to smother her with love, I will. She makes my baby boy happy and that makes me happy.)

"She isn't smothering me I promise." I said with a reassuring smile. Rafael looks at me with such surprise I think he broke.

"You understand Spanish?"

"Y hablarlo también." (And speak it too) I wink at him. He sighs but its more of a growl. I think its a good thing although honestly I cant quite tell.

****

We walk out to his car and get in. Before I could put on my seat belt, he grabs me and pulls me onto his lap again. Kissing me hungrily and such raw passion my mouth hurts.

"You're so perfect." He stops to whisper against my lips, then goes back to kissing me. His hand travels up my thigh so close to my panties and I panic. I grab his hand before he went any further. He furrows his brows and looks worried. "What's wrong kitten?"

"I... I can't go that far yet." I said looking away.

"What do you mean?" He asked. I blush... wow this is so embarrassing. Here I am, a twenty six year old virgin, sitting ontop of a man who probably lost his virginity the moment he turned old enough.

"I'm a... um..." Why won't the words come out!? Why is this so hard to say? Suddenly he smiles and removes his hand from my thigh. He kisses me again but this time its gentle and sweet.

"We don't have to do anything you're not ready for. I don't mind waiting for you kitten." He smiled.

Wow....

Without thinking I kiss him. This time I'm the one hungry and filled with passion. He doesn't push me away, he grabs me and pulls me closer. I try my hardest not to moan but I do, straight into his mouth. He pushes me back into the steering wheel and sighs.

"I told you before kitten.... don't make those noises at me. Hearing them makes me want to do things to you. Things that will make you blush more than you already are." Damn it lungs! Breathe! I nod shakily. "Now let's get you home before I change my mind and take you right here in this car."

Gulp.
