“I hate that I have to go to work,” Dom says.
“Yeah, because Dex has an inflatable beer pong table, and when the sun goes down, we’re gonna play that in the pool,” Tim says.
“Just rub it in my face, asshole,” Dominic says with a laugh, standing up and stretching.
It’s really hard not to stare at how his muscles flex, but I glance at him briefly before taking a sip of my Coke. Renzo waggles his brows at me, but I ignore him.
“I gotta head out,” Jay says. “We’re gonna go watch a movie,” he says, gesturing to Tiffany. “I might come back later though. I’ll text you,” he tells Dex.
“Okay, cool. We’ll be here.”
“I’m gonna grab another drink,” I say, crushing the empty can in my hand.
“Can I use your bathroom before I leave?” Dominic asks Dex.
“Yeah, if you go through the door, cross the kitchen, turn right, and then to the left the hall will lead to the bathroom.”
Dominic raises his brows before laughing. “Okay, if I’m not back in ten minutes, send a search party.”
“Trev, will you show him?” Dex says as I’m heading to the cooler.
“All right,” I reply, trying not to show my excitement at a chance alone with him.
Inside, I toss my can into the recycle bin as we’re in the kitchen, then make my way to the bathroom.
“See, I told you there’s something up with us and bathrooms,” he says from behind me.
In the hall, I spin around and push him against the wall, slamming my mouth to his in a desperate kiss.
He’s taken by surprise at first, then he grabs a hold of my ass and brings me in closer, massaging my tongue with his.
When we separate, he says, “As much as I enjoy pliable Trevor, I kinda like you like this, too.”
I smirk. “I was dying to do that.”
“I’m glad you’re willing to show me how much you want me now, instead of fighting it.”
I roll my eyes. “Go to the bathroom.”
“Come with me.”
I almost go with him, but decide it’s too risky. “I can’t. Anybody could come in.” He nods his head slightly, like he knew that would be my answer. “But maybe I can go by your job later. Everyone will be here. I can wait for you to get off.”
He smiles. “Okay. Now kiss me again.”

As to not be too obvious,I stick around Dex’s house for a few hours after Dominic leaves. My excuse was that I needed to study, which isn’t a lie, because I need to, but I’d rather study Dominic.
I went home first, to shower and clean up, because I hope he’ll come back with me for a little while once he’s off. Since I know he lives with his mom, I doubt going there is an option.
By the time I show up to Three Sheets and get my neon bracelet and big black X on my hand, it’s ten-forty. I choose a booth with a good view of the bar, and order a burger and fries to go with my Coke. Luckily they have a sports channel on, so I’m not too bored sitting here alone.
It’s about twenty minutes after I arrive when Dominic emerges from the back, collecting empty bottles and glasses, and restocking the bar with straws and napkins. I can’t help but smile when I watch him move, the tight black shirt clinging to his muscles the way I want to.
He speaks to one of the bartenders for a little bit before disappearing into the back and coming back with a black plastic tub. We finally make eye contact as he heads for a nearby table.
“Stalking me, Campbell?”
