“Are you telling me you’re thinking of your asshole ex or of Raze when we’re spending time together?”
“I don’t think?—”
“Just tell me and don’t lie. I want the truth from you. I want honesty between us always. I’ve had enough lies to fill my gut for a fucking lifetime. Do you think of other men when you’re with me?”
“What would you do if I said yes?” she whispers, her gaze avoiding my eyes.
Reluctantly, I move my hand from her hip and caress the side of her neck, applying enough pressure so that she finally focuses her attention on me. “If you tell me that and it’s the truth, I’ll accept it. I won’t like it, but I’ll stop pushing for more. We’ll just be family.”
“And if I said no?”
“Are you saying no?”
Her teeth come down on her lower lip, worrying it as she looks at me. I know she’s weighing over her options. Honestly, she doesn’t have a choice. I know she wants me. I can’t allow her to run from me—no matter what I just told her. I won’t stop fighting for her to see what I already do. The two of us are going to be together. After Gabby, I never thought I'd want another woman. I sure as hell didn’t expect something as explosive as Thea and I. Shit, what I’m feeling for her is more than the emotions I had for Gabby that I thought was love.
Well, that’s not exactly true. Early on, what I felt for Gabby was strong and true. Over time, it began to fade, but I felt like that was partly my fault. I kept us hidden. Now that I know I was being played through most of our relationship, my guilt for that has lessened. Thea wouldn’t ask me to keep anything private. She would drag my ass in front of whoever might cause us problems and confront things head on. She would do exactly what I had been wanting to do all along. I allowed Gabby to use the worry I had over T—the worry I’ve always had—and amplify it. I let her play me. I know I did. I’m not blameless. I should have had the balls to confront the situation. Christ, there’s a part of me beginning to realize that I let it go on as long as I did because I was already questioning my relationship with Gabby.
Even as I piece together my wayward thoughts about Gabby, I know that what I feel for Thea is stronger. For one thing, I was attracted to Thea during my entire relationship with Gabby. That’s something that should have never happened. I sure as hell don’t think about other women right now. Fuck, I’ve been dreaming of Thea every night even before I got a taste of her. Something in my gut just tells me Thea is different. I can’t let her get away.
“I can’t,” she whispers, as if it’s a confession she shouldn’t be making.
“You can’t what?” I prompt, worried she’s going to tell me she can’t explore this thing between us. I thought I had moved her past that, but maybe inviting her to dinner with my parents pushed her too far and too fast.
“I can’t say that I think of anyone but you when we’re together. I can’t even say I’ve thought of anyone but you since we first began spending time together. Maybe that’s why Raze cheating on me didn’t hurt—well, other than my pride.”
“Thank fuck. You’re not running.”
“I’m still not sure this is completely smart,” she responds, putting her hands on each side of my face. Her touch is so sweet and soft, and I feel it in my dick.
“But?”
“I’ve never been a runner.”
I circle one of her wrists and bring her hands to my lips and kiss the back of it. “I’m going to show you we’re made for one another, Gorgeous.”
“Dom, I’m not looking for?—”
I stop her from saying anything else by taking her mouth, pouring how much I want her into my kiss. She groans into my mouth and the noise rocks me to my core as it vibrates through me. My fingers tangle into her hair. I keep one hand on her hip, holding her to me with a bruising force. I grind up into her. Letting her feel how much I need her. I’m drunk on her and have yet to get inside her.
She’s liquid fire in my hands and she burns me all the way through. When we break apart, the air burns my lungs as I try to take it in. My damn heart is thundering inside my chest. Thea looks to be struggling the same way. Her fingernails are biting into the back of my neck. My dick is weeping with the need to have her.
“We…” Thea gasps out the word, then takes a ragged breath, her eyes searching my face. “We’re g-going to be late.”
My hand slides under her dress, my gaze locked with hers. “Going to my parents is the last thing on my mind, sweetheart.” Her eyes close as I slide my fingers against her wet panties. I could fucking whimper from the force of the need I feel to claim her. “God, you’re so fucking wet.” My words come out with a groan, making them sound like I’m in pain. Fuck, I am. I need her so much that I’m going insane. I don’t know how it got so out of control this fast, but I’m not going to question it either. I think I’d forgotten what it felt like to be alive until Thea stormed into my life, challenging me. I should send her fucking ex back in New York a case of Kentucky bourbon. If he hadn’t fucked up, I wouldn’t be holding beauty in my hands.
Beauty that I’ll never let go of.
“Dom…” she breathes, her head going back with my touch.
My eyes close as the sweetness of her whispering my name hits me. I’ve felt like an idiot for so long now that it has become my new normal. Yet, hearing Thea like this, knowing that I pushed her away to keep Gabby? Fuck, stupid doesn’t begin to cover what I was.
I force myself to look directly at her as I push her panties to the side. I don’t want to miss a moment with her. I gently press against the wet, bare lips of her pussy and immediately they part for me, enveloping my fingers. It feels so good that I hiss in response.
“Fuck, baby, you feel so good,” I groan as I slide through her folds.
“Dom, I can’t go to your parents smelling like sex.”
“Yeah, you can, baby,” I argue just as my fingers press against her swollen clit.
