“I know.”
Then he proceeded to kiss me in front of everyone. And I didn’t mean a quick peck. No. When Dominic kissed, he put everything into it.
He owned me.
Possessed me.
And I loved every heated touch.
Then he walked out of the room, leaving me red-faced and breathing heavily.
“Why do I have the urge to slap your back and say congratulations?” Casper asked.
“I need to bleach my eyes,” Carter grumbled.
Calvin sighed. “I threw up a bit in my mouth all while second-guessing my sexuality.”
“Shut up, boys,” Mom scolded. “Sweetheart, anyone with eyes can see how he looks at you.”
Turning to her, I asked, “How?”
“Like you’re his world.”
A tingle spread through my belly. Yet I shook my head, still not quite believing any of this was real. Meeting someone who ticked every box I looked for in a guy, plus about fifty more I’d never even considered before Dominic, never happened to me. “Don’t get your hopes up, Mom. It’s still early days, and he could get sick of me.” I winced at my own words. I seriously had to stop belittling myself and letting my past relationships rule my thoughts like I told Dominic I would.
I had to remind myself Iwasworth the time of day.
Ididdeserve Dominic.
Iwaspretty. I was sexy.
My confidence would take time, but I would get there.
My brothers snorted in unison. It was freaky when they did things like that.
“What?”
“Nothing,” Carter said, shaking his head.
“No… what?” I took the seat opposite them.
But they only shared a look and kept their mouths closed. Of course, I kicked the closest one under the table.
Calvin cursed. Mom scolded.
“We’ve only just met him and already know he’s into you. Deep into you.”
“Dude,” Casper yelled with his nose screwed up.
Calvin blanched. “I didn’t mean it like that, you dick.”
“Boys, enough. Dinner’s ready. Come help me take it to the table.” Their chairs scraped along the floor when they stood up and did as Mom asked. All the while, I thought over what they’d said.
Yes, Dominic did say he saw a future between us, and I hoped that was the truth, because, well, I wanted to claim him as mine. Maybe I needed to put more effort into actually believing him and believing my brothers when they told me stuff like how deeply Dominic felt for me.
Despite it being such a short amount of time.
My brothers placed the platters on the table, and I jolted from hands on my shoulders. Dom’s scent filled my senses when he leaned down and whispered, “You good?”
