MANUEL'S POV
I couldn't stop. I couldn't control myself. I knew that the few bottles of alcohol I had had was still in my system but this was more than that. Samantha always had a way to pull this kind of reaction out of me.
As I slid my hand higher taunting her, she let out a moan . I growled in response sinking my lips into her neck and nibbling. I couldn't get enough of her. She was like a drug.

He had the same dark blue eyes that Manuel had. My heart broke at the realization.I shrieked in horror."You had a child?!"She covered his ears with her hands, dropping him back on his feet,she ruffled his hair."Baby, why don't you go on up to your room, I'll be there to tuck you in, okay? This nice lady and I are just having a little chat" she cooed.I watched as the child looked from her to me skeptically."Hey, lady, don't yell at my mum," he said before running back into his room.The smile on Samant
