On impulse, I lean over and press my lips against his. Dom quickly takes over the kiss, his tongue sliding inside my mouth and seeking mine. It’s not an intense kiss, but it feels natural. It fills me with a peace that I can’t explain. When we break apart, I stand up and get into Dom’s lap. He welcomes me instantly, wrapping me in his arms.

“Might be difficult to eat like this,” he points out.

“Are you complaining?”

“Fuck, no.”

I giggle. “You can feed me.”

“Now, there’s an idea that I definitely like. Does that mean we’re done talking about this bullshit?”

“For tonight. I think we both need a break from the past. I am going with you to the club tomorrow, though.”

“I don’t want?—”

I put my fingers over his mouth. “You may not be a member of the club right now, but you are my man and I happen to be very proud of that fact. I want everyone to know that I am. That means I’m going to be by your side, Dom. Well, unless you don’t feel the same.”

“You’re proud of me?” he asks, sounding as if the idea is completely foreign to him.

“I went to dinner at your parent’s house, Dom. We’ve practically been living together at my brother’s. How could you think otherwise?”

“You and Raze were together at Breakers’,” he points out.

I tense for a minute but shake my head. “Raze and I were having fun. I needed that after the mess with Deke. We fooled around and I’m not saying it couldn’t have gotten more serious, but it didn’t hurt like it should have when it fell apart, either. Mostly, I was glad that we hadn’t gone all the way together and it ended when it did because…”

“Because?”

“Feelings I thought had been dead for a long time were slowly coming back to the surface and they weren’t for Raze.”

“What are you saying, Thea?”

“I’m saying, things had already begun to change between me and Raze and it wasn’t entirely on him. I was glad he stopped being around so much. I let that happen easily because I was enjoying spending time with a man that I’d been hung up on for over half my life.”

“What man?”

“You’re being an asshole right now, you know.”

“Yeah, but I need to hear you say the actual words more than I need actual air right now, sweetheart.”

“You, Dom. I’m saying it wasn’t Raze I wanted in my bed. If I’m honest, it never was.”

“Who did you want there?”

“You, Dom. You’ve always owned a piece of my heart. I’m starting to think you always will.”

“Thank fuck,” he growls. He stands up, his hands going under my ass to support me as I wrap my legs around him.

“Where are we going?” I squeak, holding onto him and laughing at the same time.

“We’re going to try out the new sheets I bought today. The bed came with the place, it will have to go, eventually. I want you in a king size, but I want to go bed shopping with you.”

“You do?”

“This is our future, Gorgeous. I want us both to have a say in everything.”

“Stop talking and get me to this bedroom you’re talking about,” I order.

“Fuck, woman,” he groans, kissing me as we make it down the hall.
