I nod, knowing she’s right. We’ve both been miserable because I made a decision for both of us. Instead of facing the problem, I ran from it and left Stassi in the midst of it to fend for herself against the devil. Why hadn’t I thought about the fact that he’d probably prey on Stassi if I was out of the picture?
“Has he been bothering you?”My scalp prickles and the need to punch or hit or break something clouds my vision as I prepare for the worst.
“No, not really. He’s called a few times but I haven’t been talking to anyone.”A breath I didn’t realize I was holding escapes my lips.
“Has he been by?” I should have had a private investigator of my own put on him. I know he has to have some shady dealings.
“No.”
“He hasn’t hurt you in any way?”
“No, Dominic, the only man who’s hurt me recently is you. Why didn’t you talk to me?”I’m acutely aware that Kate is still present and currently very involved in our business, but I didn’t care. This is the first time I’ve talked to her in weeks and I am minutes away from seeing her sweet face.
“All I could think about was that if those pictures got out, it would ruin you. If your grandparents saw them? I knew you’d be so humiliated. I was trying to save you from that.”
“Humiliation you can get over. But the pain from losing you hasn’t lessened at all. I’ll take embarrassment over heartbreak any day. And those pictures are a gross invasion of privacy, if he leaked them, I could sue the shit out of him.”
I hadn’t thought of that. But the damage would have been done by that point and that was what I was trying to avoid.
I’m pulling onto my street and I can already feel the weight of the world slowly lifting off my shoulders at just the idea of seeing Stassi again. “I’m going to be there in a few seconds.”
“Okay. Kate, I’ll call you later,” I hear her say, and then Kate’s voice chimes in, “Okay, behave, lovebirds!”
She hangs up just as I pull into the driveway and Stassi is running out of the door before I even manage to open the car door. Just as she gets to the bottom steps, I get out of the car and catch her in my arms as she lunges for me. She is sobbing into my neck as she wraps her legs around my pelvis. We keep this embrace as I walk us upstairs and into the house, but the second the door closes behind us our mouths find each other as we kiss like we are old lovers that haven’t seen each other in years.
Shit, that’s what it felt like.
“I love you,” I tell her between kisses. My mouth finds all of my favorite spots. Behind her ear, her neck, the corner of her mouth, her cheeks. It’s as if I’m reuniting with every part of her sweet face.
I push her against the wall, grinding myself into her as she fiddles with my sweatpants and reaches inside to grab my dick. “I’ve missed you, Dominic.” She smiles when my eyes meet hers and she must see the same love in my eyes radiating back at her. She’s wearing a dress that I lift slowly and move her panties to the side. I slide one digit up her wet slit and my mouth waters for a taste. She grabs my jaw. “Dick first. Tongue after.”
“Yes ma’am,” I laugh as I lower my sweatpants and briefs to my ankles and push my way inside of her.
“FUCK!” she screams. “Oh my God, how did I forget how good this feels?” She moans and puts a hand over her eyes as I pound into her. I’m already ready to come because it’s been weeks since I’ve been inside the love of my life so I am ready to explode. “Holy shit, I think I’m going to come.” Her eyes squeeze shut and she bites her bottom lip so hard, I’m afraid she might split it.
“You’re quivering around me. I need you to fucking come so I can get my mouth back where it belongs. I’m fucking hungry, baby. I haven’t eaten you in weeks and it’s the only thing that sustains me.”
“Godddd, your mouth and the dirty filthy words that come out of it. The things your tongue can do to me. I need it all.” She digs her nails into my shoulders just as my teeth attach to her neck and I empty my cock inside of her. She whimpers when she feels the first pump of cum and then she begins to convulse in my arms. “Fuck fuck fuck, I’m coming, Dominic!” she cries out. “Oh my God, fuck me harder.”
I do as she says, fucking her through both of our orgasms so hard, I’m afraid we may break through the wall. At some point, she stops and her eyes are staring so hard into mine, I wonder if she can see every inch of my heart and soul.
“You haven’t told me you love me back,” I tell her. “Do you still?” I ask, hoping for the best but fearing that maybe I’d fucked things up too much.
“The last time I said I love you, you destroyed my heart. You’ll need to work to get that back.”
Memories of our last conversation run through my brain. It was the last time I thought I’d see her likethis.“I know.”
“I know why you did what you did. I’m glad you love me so much that you weren’t afraid to break our hearts if you thought it would protect me. But losing you isn’t good for me. It isn’t what’s right for me and it doesn’t protect me. Next time, talk to me. Don’t eviscerate me because you need me to walk away. Whether or not you meant them, you knew what to say to hurt me and it did fucking hurt. You preyed on my insecurities. On my mind, Dominic. That’s not okay.”
I let her very calm and rational words wash over me and in this moment she seems wise beyond her years. “I know. I was just so worried about what Micah was going to do to you.”
“Let me handle Micah.”
“How?”
“I did some research on dear old Dad. Seems he’s not so out of the life after all.” I let her down and watch as she smooths her hair down. “Had a nice little chat with a lovely detective at the police department and I didn’t give away too much necessarily. But maybe enough for them to be able to do some digging.” She shrugs. “In the meantime now, I’m going for blood.”
The look on Micah’s face when he sees me sitting in the living room is nothing short of pure entertainment. “Dominic, I thought you weren’t staying here.”
