CHAPTERTWELVE
Courtney
After dinner, Dominic took me back to his place. A three-bedroom brick home in a quiet area. After walking me through his tidy house, he took me to bed and showed me just how much he appreciated how I’d handled things.
However, when I woke suddenly in the middle of the night and reached for him, I found I was alone. The sheet on his side was still a little warm, which told me he hadn’t been gone long. Stretching, I flung back the blankets and sat on the side of the bed, blindly searching for the lamp on the bedside table. Once it was on, I picked up his tee and slipped it over my head. Scrubbing a hand over my face—thankfully I’d washed my makeup off already—I stood up and made my way out of the bedroom. We’d gone to bed with the bedroom door open, but it had since been closed.
Did he not want me to hear something?
Had someone come over?
I stopped in the hallway and wondered if I was supposed to go back to bed and wait for him. Scraping my top teeth over my bottom lip, I listened. There was a light on at the end of the hall where the kitchen was. But I didn’t hear anyone speaking. Maybe he just got up and needed a drink. He could have had a nightmare about being in jail.
I knew if I’d had a nightmare, I would want comfort.
Nodding to myself, I made my way down the hall and into the kitchen. I paused in the doorway when I spotted Dominic leaning against the counter near the sink on the far side of the room. He stood wearing only black boxers, staring down at his phone in his hand.
“Dom?” I said gently.
His gaze rocked up and the soft smile he shared had tension rolling off my shoulders. Tension I hadn’t known I’d been carrying.
“Everything okay?”
“Yeah, little mouse. What woke you?”
I shrugged. “I don’t know. Maybe I felt you gone from the bed.”
His gaze warmed. “Come here, baby.” I did, and as soon as I was close, he put his phone on the counter, took my wrist, and tugged me forward where he could wrap his arms around me tight. I sighed into his chest, then kissed him there before I rested the side of my face against his warm skin.
“Words can’t describe seein’ you walk in here in my tee, little mouse. Knowin’ you’d been inmybed. Knowin’ only hours ago I was inside you.”
A shiver raked over my body as my pussy clenched and nipples hardened. His words were a turn-on button I never knew I had. He knew it, he felt it, and when his fingers slid into my hair and pulled my head back, I gasped, then moaned when he kissed and nipped at my neck.
That was when he said softly, “And knowin’ you’re willin’ to be here with me and becomin’ mine.”
“Dom,” I whispered.
He straightened and pressed his lips against mine while I ran my hands up and down his chest. I definitely didn’t miss the extra-hard bulge he now rocked against my stomach.
“You’re addictive,” he told me before biting at my bottom lip.
“So are you.”
He pulled his head back. “Yeah?”
“Yes.”
When his phone rang, his expression morphed into a serious one. “Shit. You’re distracting too, little mouse.” He curled an arm around my shoulders and tucked me into him. He picked up his phone. “Tech.”
“You got your computer on?” I heard from the other end.
“Yeah, brother, like you told me. But one sec. Court just woke.”
Tech’s chuckle also traveled through the phone and then “Brother, it’d better be quick or you’re gonna miss the fun,” followed.
Dominic grunted and placed the phone down at his side. “Baby, Tech’s got a live feed of Ray about to get taken down by cops who are on their way to where he is. It’s why I’m up. Woke to Tech textin’ me. You can either watch it or go back to bed and wait for me. I’m good with whatever you pick.”
What did I want to do?
