She tugs against my hold, causing her makeup-covered ring finger to wave in my face. “Dominic—”
“No, Valentine. I gave you a choice. And since you won’t wear my ring, youwillwear my name.”
Her jaw clenches. “I have to go to the office.”
“Yeah. And the people at your office will know who you belong to, just like the rest of the fucking world. Now wash it off.”
I’m furious.
And impressed with her defiance.
And more than a little turned on.
Val’s nostrils flare, and I’m excited for her answer before she even gives it.
“No.”
I smirk. “Wrong answer.”
Then I lift her.
“Dominic!” Her feet dangle a foot above the ground as I walk us around the island. “Put me down.”
I ignore her.
“Dominic. Seriously—”
She cuts off when I slide her down my body. I know she can feel how hard I am. “Press my buttons, Wife, and you’ll pay the consequences.”
Before she can retort, I spin her around and press my hips against her ass, my feet on either side of her own, pinning her to the counter.
“I can do it.” Her voice is breathy now.
“You had your chance.” I keep one arm wrapped around her, high enough that her breasts are resting on top of my forearm. With my other arm, I reach out and turn the water on.
I leave my fingers under the stream, waiting for the water to get warm, then I fill my palm with soap.
“Give it here.”
Her ribcage expands under my hold, but on her exhale, she submits and places her hand in mine.
I release my hold of her waist so I can lather the soap, her hand between mine.
Then I carefully wash the makeup off. The stuff she used did a good job of covering the ink, but it washes away easily enough.
When it’s clean, I turn the faucet to cool, then hold her finger under the stream. “You’re going to irritate the skin using crap like that on a fresh tattoo. I can get the ointment if you want to put it on before you leave.”
Val shakes her head, and her breath hitches.
I have one awful second to think that she might be crying, but then her ass shifts against me as she rubs her thighs together.
I lean against her a little harder.
She wants me.
I need to remind her how much.
