When she looks at me, I know she sees more than just Dominic Wolfe. She sees me, and that will always mean the world to me.

I kick open the door before taking two strides to our bed. She clutches the lapel of my coat, and I smile.

“I am not going anywhere, cara mia,” I say with a smile. “Tonight I am all yours.”

I cup her by the jaw, pressing a lingering kiss on the corner of her mouth. Her eyes close instinctively, and she brings me closer to her by my neck. Her touch sends tingles down my spine as I hover over her on the bed.

“Dom—”

“Whatever you want me to do to you, Sienna,” I whisper in her ear, placing a kiss just below it where I know she is sensitive. “I will do it to you. Tell me to move away, and I will do that. Ask me to kiss you senseless, and I will happily do that too.”

She pushes against my chest, and I stop my heart from shattering in my chest. She looks at me with a pained expression, and that pain in my chest is replaced with panic.

“What happened?” I question softly.

“You don’t want to kiss me?” she asks, biting on her lip.

“Where did you get that from?” I ask, confused.

I, Dominic Wolfe, don’t want to kiss her? Is she kidding me?

“No, you keep telling me to ask you to do it,” she says, her voice so small it breaks my heart. “Don’t you want to do it?”

I look in between her eyes, and all I see is that fear again. Fear of me leaving. Fear of me hurting her.

If only she knew that I would do anything to take that fear away from her.

“Baby, I have always wanted to kiss you, to touch you, to hold you,” I say, pulling her face up so she stares directly into my eyes and sees the truth for herself. “I just never want to make you feel uncomfortable. I know you’ve just got out—”

“Don’t remind me of that,” she cuts me off in the middle. “I cut ties with my past the moment I left him standing at the airport. If I wasn’t comfortable with you, Dominic, I wouldn’t be here sitting on your bed.”

“I know, but—”

She rises on her knees, and I watch as she touches my face, her fingers light and soft.

“If you ever want to kiss me, Dominic, I want you to do it without doubt or fear,” she says.

I smile before pulling her flush against me by the waist. She has no clue what she just stepped into, but something tells me it won’t change a single thing anyways.

“You don’t have to tell me twice.”

I kiss her then, not softly this time. But with every bit of desire and temptation, I have kept tamed inside of me.

From the first moment I saw her, I have wanted her. Despite knowing I couldn’t have her at the moment, despite everybody telling me I shouldn’t spend my time on her, I have wanted her. And now that I do have her, I’m not letting her go.

I squeeze her butt, and she moans into my mouth, letting my tongue slip inside. I move away from her lips and press a kiss on her jaw, and because I can’t help myself, I bite her skin.

She hisses as her hands move to my clothes. She hurriedly unbuttons my shirt, and I let her. I let her do whatever the fuck she wants to do to me.

It’s my body, her choice anyways.

I kiss my way to her chest, pulling at my t-shirt that she is wearing, and because I am impatient, I nearly tear it apart. She chuckles, the sound vibrating beneath my mouth as I kiss on her collarbone before she pulls away from me and puts her hands up, helping me remove the barrier between her.

I take this as a chance to glance at her flushed face. Her cheeks are red, and the same desire I have for her is visible in her eyes.

“Fuck me,” she whispers when my mouth closes on the top of her breast. My hands wrap around her back, unbuckling her bra.

“About to fuck you, baby,” I smirk when her fingers dig into my back. I wrap my mouth around her breast, sucking on the skin enough to leave my mark.
