Free Unsuitable Obsession - Part One by Trisha Fuentes Page A

that’s who, and don’t go
shaking your head at me mister, you know you’re good looking.”
    Now that she got that off her chest Amber could
loosen up even more. There—she said it; she unequivocally came out
and told him that she thought he was attractive. Did he even doubt
it with all the blushing that she did?
    Eduardo was taken-back. Amber was blatantly flirting
with him now, only this time his coy rejoinder wasn’t so eager.
This was Amber Sanchez. He was nevertheless still sexually
attracted to her, but he wasn’t about to just spill his guts to
her—so what if she was family. “I’m very selective Amber.”
    Amber didn’t know why but that word selective stuck in her throat. Eduardo was an egocentric (she could only
assume by his appearance alone) women came onto him . He
probably had a Little Black Book filled with over ten thousand
names! “I’m not surprised with so many choices. You’re a spoiled
man Eduardo Sanchez.”
    Eduardo couldn’t believe his luck. Here he was
extremely fascinated with this girl and she was coming onto him
very strong, she not only enchanted him, but her sudden openness
sparked continued interest. He had to keep reminding himself that
she was married—and to his brother no less! But his lascivious
temperament won the battle within and Eduardo wanted to find out
how far he could interest her. “Do you see me complaining? I
love women. I appreciate the difference in our bodies and the
way they smell. Heck, I’ll even listen to a stunning female I’m
interested in talk about her cat all night long if it was
guaranteed she’d sleep with me.”
    Amber stared at him agape. Good Lord! Why was
his admission suddenly making her all hot and bothered? Because
this was Eduardo Sanchez, that’s why! Of course he’d be a snake
behind those expensive wool blends, he could afford too when there
was no struggle involved. “You don’t have to be so crude about it,”
Amber retorted, feeling her heart about to jump out of her
chest.
    Eduardo was puffed up pleased with himself. Amber
went on the defensive, noticed her cheeks flush red as she turned
away from him. But then he felt contrite. Should he apologize for
having just made her covet him?
    “You know what Eduardo? I believe you,” Amber
sharply returned. “You should be selective. You need to find
someone who will love your faults more than they treasure your
looks. In fact, that’s the very reason why I fell in love with your
brother; I looked beyond the exterior and found a wonderful human
being.”
    Eduardo noted her coldness and gazed away from her
for a moment. What the hell was she doing? Helping him find a
girlfriend now? This was a first. He knew he got to her; Amber
suddenly attacked him with waiving her devotion to his brother in
front of his face. But, wait a minute, what did she just say… “What
faults?”
    Amber seethed, “Oh please Eduardo you’re not perfect.”
    “Who said I was?”
    Amber closed her mouth. Yikes! She just better shut
up now, was that Adrian crying? No, darn it! “Well, I’m only
assuming you think you are, but I see differently.”
    Amber thought he was flawed—unreal. Never in his
pretentious life had he come across a woman who thought he was lacking. It further intrigued him. “OK Amber, define your
findings then. Why do I appear imperfect to you?”
    Amber gulped. Damn his Harvard Law School dialect!
She really did it this time. Her flirting got out of hand and now
she’s irritated him. Good Lord did he look magnificent annoyed! “OK
sorry—you’re perfect then.”
    “No—no, you can’t just toss accusations around like
that and decide to alter your judgment.”
    Amber sat up straight in her chair. “You’re high
maintenance.”
    Eduardo guffawed. “I am? And what else?”
    What else? Good Lord, did she really start this
embarrassing conversation? How the hell does she get out of this?
