The Secret Flame of Luis
I remember standing by the wide window of my neighbor’s house, watching the river swell and overflow its banks. The rain had turned the landscape into a rushing torrent of brown water. I was lost in thought until Luis arrived. For the first time, I truly noticed him; he had grown into a stunning young man with a sun-kissed complexion and golden-streaked hair.
We stood side by side, commenting on the flood, but the air between us shifted. Suddenly, I felt the unmistakable hardness of his arousal pressing firmly against my thigh. I tried to play it cool, but my heart began to race. I was eighteen, and while he was one of the younger brothers, he had developed a masculine presence that made my skin prickle with anticipation.
When the homeowner, Doña Catalina, announced dinner, we jumped apart, but the electric tension remained. Throughout the meal, our eyes locked in a silent conversation of desire, promising a secret encounter once the house fell quiet.
