I don’t reply. I don’t know what to say.
He lifts the hand from my shoulder and strokes it over my hair. “We have a lead on someone who might have information on who’s coming after me.”
“And you have to go in person?” My question is muffled by the blanket.
Dominic nods. “But I’m leaving Rob here to keep an eye on you. I put his number in your phone. He lives a few floors down, so even when he’s not in the hallway outside the door, he’s nearby.” He tucks my hair behind my ear. “I’d prefer you stay here. But you’ll use him if you want to go to the office.”
When I don’t say anything, he pulls the blanket down from over my face.
“Tell me you won’t go anywhere without Rob.”
I yank the blankets back up over my mouth before I reply. “I won’t go anywhere without Hot Rob.”
Dominic narrows his eyes, then yanks the blankets out of my grasp and off my body.
I shriek.
And before I can reach for the blanket, Dom is shoving me onto my back and crawling on top of me.
“Dominic.” I try to push him off while trying to cover my mouth with my other hand.
He shoves both my hands away, pinning me to the bed. “Why do you keep doing that?”
“Because I have morning breath!” I say, exasperated.
Dom shakes his head. “Angel, I don’t really want to introduce you to the darker side of my life, but I will if it’ll reassure you that I’ll never be bothered by some morning breath.”
I keep my lips together while I glare at him.
Dominic flexes his hips against me, and I can feel him getting harder.
“Now, this is your final warning. Every time you call Rob, or any other man, hot or attractive or anything else that you know I won’t like, you’re going to wake up with a new tattoo.” He leans down until our noses are touching. “Don’t test me.”
“You’re a beast.” It’s the best insult I can think of with his body against mine.
“Don’t forget it.” Dominic smiles. “Now give me a goodbye kiss.”
CHAPTER44
Val
Big Guy: Rob is coming to the door to drop off food. I’m sure you’ll forget to order dinner.
I blink at my phone.
Then blink again.
Big Guy.
My heart is stuck at a standstill between slowing and speeding.
Me: Why did you change your name back?
Delete.
Me: I don’t want to call you Big Guy anymore.
Delete.
