Dominic didn’t leave with him.
“Farra-” he snapped his mouth shut and groaned. “That’s going to take some getting used to.”
“Don’t worry about it. I’m used to people calling me my sister anyway.” I shrugged but continued not to make eye contact with him.
“No, it’s not okay.” He came to stand right in front of me. He towered over my sitting form and I had no choice but to look up at him. “You shouldn’t be okay with people mixing you up with Farrah. I don’t know if you’ve figured it out or not but your sister isn’t the best of people.”
“And what makes you think I’m a good person?” I raised an eyebrow and continued to stare up at him.
“You walked into a house you’ve never been to before, were disrespected by people you never met and hurt…”He clenched his jaw and looked down for a second before he captured my gaze again, “Hurt by someone who should’ve never had access to you. Even after all that I still haven’t heard you curse your sister or demand that one of us go find her so you can ream her out. After all you’ve been through in the place of your sister, I’m pretty sure if someone told you they could kill her right now you’d say…”
“No!” I answered immediately.
“That’s how I know you’re one of the good ones Faye.” He said as he slowly sat down on the bed next to me, “You’re too good to be hooked up to a man like me. Like you said earlier, I’m a monster.”
“You don’t have to be. If you don’t want to be a monster you don’t have to be.”
“It’s too late for me, Faye. My destiny is already written and nowhere in there does it say I become a law abiding citizen.” He grinned.
“Destiny changes all the time. The closest I’ve ever been to having sex was some of the spicy books I get from amazon. Someone like me would’ve gone way into my forties still a virgin if I stayed on my path. Yet here I am in front of a self proclaimed monster, incredibly hymen-less.” I’m still hurting but what’s done is done. I can’t take it back now. The whole horrific night was his and my sisters fault but I had to acknowledge my part in it as well. I was the one who chose to trick Farrah’s date. I was the one who chose to allow myself to be put into a situation drugged and ill prepared. I was the one who didn’t follow my gut and stop this whole thing before it started.
“Faye,” He squeezed his eyes shut and when he opened them again I could see the light gray flecks shining in his eyes. It was mesmerizing. I almost didn’t hear him when he started talking again. “What are you doing here?”
“Sitting naked it would seem.” I joked.
“Naked is good. You should be naked all the time.” His words rattled around in my brain before they wrapped themselves around my body.
“There’s no need to lie, Dominic. You’re only saying that because you’re thinking about my sister’s body.”
“No, I’m not. If I’d had paid closer attention last night I would have seen the differences between you and your sister. Your sister is in shape sure, but her body is hard. Her skin dried after spending too much time in the tanning salon. Her hips don’t flare out as perfectly as yours do. Her hair isn’t as soft. Her eyes aren’t so expressive. If you ask me, I think you got the best parts out of the two of you.”
I didn’t dare breathe, simply because I didn’t want to stop his train of thought. His sweet words were cutting through to the very center of me. A place where I knew I shouldn’t be opening up to him but it’s like I have no control over my feelings for this man.
It’s crazy.
Absolutely insane, but for some reason I was so happy that he thought I was better than my sister. No one else ever had. I’ve always played second place to her and even though I was only a fill in it feels good to know that Dominic preferred me over Farrah.
“What are you going to do about my sister anyway?” I asked, suddenly curious about what he was going to do now that he knew he’d been played.
He turned away from me briefly and took the cover off the plate of food that I hadn’t touched before he addressed me again. “Faye, I don’t want to have to lie to you. I can’t let you go. Even if I could without screwing myself over, you know too much and you’d instantly become a target. I can’t just let your sister walk around either, she could blow this entire thing up and we’d all be back in the same situation with a price on our heads. I can’t guarantee you any type of happily ever after. All I can do is promise to keep you alive. Maybe somewhere in there you could be happy here,” He leans down and picks up a triangle of pineapple from the plate with his fingers. He lifted it to my mouth, “Let me in, Faye.”
I parted my lips and he slowly rubbed the fruit along my sensitive skin before he slid the sweet fruit inside my mouth. The sweet tropical flavors burst along my tongue and I closed my eyes as I savored each bite. “Mmm, that’s good.”
When I opened my eyes I already had another piece of fruit ready and waiting for me. This man who had huge, scary gangsters bowing at his feet was hand feeding me.
It was exciting and erotic. It made me feel powerful.
Dominic was hard, there was no way that he’d be able to hide his large erection as he continued to feed me. As hot as all of this was making me feel, I still didn’t trust this man with my body. Just because he had me once doesn’t mean he’d get a free pass.
I've been a virgin for twenty four years. It shouldn't be so hard for me to abstain a little while longer even though all I want is to feel those metal balls rubbing against my clit one more time.
CHAPTER NINE
It’s been three days since I managed to find myself on the wrong end in a marriage of convenience. Three days that I’ve been locked up in this room while Dominic runs around trying to find my sister. Three days since I’ve been stuck around a bunch of killers and what most would consider the scourge of the underworld. Three days since I’ve had a decent night’s sleep.
I’m grateful that the pain from that first night has gone and now all that’s left are the memories. Dominic went out and bought a whole new mattress just so I wouldn’t have to sleep on the same mattress. Along with the mattress he bought me a bunch of new clothes and jewelry. He bought me a Television and some books that he didn’t have in his library. The man seemed to be going all out to show me how sorry he was. He’s done everything except say the words.
Even though Dominic has done so much to make me feel more at ease, I’m still so tense. I have problems sleeping anywhere that isn’t home. There’s always one way I knew to get a full night’s rest which I so desperately needed.
