Although my vagina will remind me of our sex tomorrow, I feel no pain.

“I’m fine,” I assure him.

“Are you sure? I don't want to go too far. I know I can get a little caught up in the moment.”

Taking a chance, I reach up and touch his face. “Hey, I’m good. I promise. You’re not going to break me. Besides, I like trying new things with you.”

I have no idea why I’m suddenly being so open. I guess it’s because Dominic seems to be opening up—even if it’s just a little bit.

He leans down and gives me the softest kiss. This is the first time our lips have met that wasn’t immediately followed by us mauling each other.

This is a side of Dominic that is completely foreign to me. It’s lovely yet a little off-putting. It’s comparable to the lion being nice to the lamb before he swallows it whole.

But I don’t say any of that. This moment is too nice to ruin.

We stand there under the spray of the shower for a while before Dominic grabs a bar of soap and takes his time washing us both. It may be the most intimate thing I’ve ever done with another human being. What the fuck does that say about me?

When we finally step out, Dominic wraps me in a towel almost as big as I am before drying himself.

He leads me into the bedroom, and I walk over to the glass wall and look out.

“It really is a beautiful city,” I say, ogling at all the city lights.

“It is,” he agrees. “I came here once and never left.”

He nods. “But that’s a story for another time.”

“Oh, right,” I say, starting to look around for my dress. “I guess I should get going.”

He grabs my hand before I get very far. “I thought maybe you could stay here…if you wanted to.”

Shocked. That’s the only way to describe myself right now.

“Okay, yeah,” I stammer. “I can stay here.”

He motions to the bed.

I walk over to it and pull down the corner of his lush comforter, eager to climb underneath it and get warm.

“Stop,” Dominic’s voice commands. “You have to drop the towel before you get in. This is a naked-only bed.”

A tiny thought crosses my mind, wondering exactly how many women have graced his sheets before me. But I push the thought from my mind. After all, we’re just fucking—not dating.

Doing as he asks, I seductively drop the towel before continuing to slide into bed. Dominic follows suit, getting naked and joining me.

He pulls my body against him, and his warmth radiates against me.

“I thought you said we should each have our own space.”

I don’t know how I expect him to respond, but he says, “Maybe I’m not done with you yet tonight.”

The words imply that I’m only here in case he wants to get his dick wet, but the way he holds me makes it feel like so much more.

Dominic Delgado might keep telling me how he’s not a good man, but where I’m sitting, I think he’s wrong.
