I couldn’t speak yet. My body still buzzed from two orgasms as I tried to wrap my head around what just happened. I’d never come that hard in my life. Twice in one night, and I could go for round three. Writing this off as a curiosity? Not a chance. It felt too good. I could’ve closed my eyes and drifted off.
Dominic was myboss. A man I supposedly hated. And here I was, sucking his cock, letting him finger me. What in the actual fuck?
I shoved his arm off me and started to sit up, but Dominic moved faster. He rolled over me, catching my wrists and pressing them above my head.
“Where do you think you’re going?” he growled.
I licked my lips. “Shower.”
“We’ll do that in a minute.”
My heart pounded as I sank back into the mattress, my wrists trapped in his grip.
“Relax,” he whispered. “You liked it, right?”
I turned my head away. “Yeah.”
“Then why do you look so bitter about it?”
“Because this isn’t…it can’t happen again.”
“I’m not letting that mouth of yours go to waste.”
My breathing hitched. “I work for you.”
“Bosses fuck their secretaries all the time.”
“Not if he’s in the Mafia.”
Dominic laughed. “Think of it as embracing diversity. Progress, Luca. We’re trendsetters.”
I shook my head. “You’ll get us both killed.”
“Nobody’s getting killed,” he said, kissing my forehead. “I’ve been doing whatever I want for a long time. If anyone’s got a problem with it, I deal with them.”
My throat tightened. “I don’t believe you.”
His frown deepened.
A sharp crack echoed in my mind—glass shattering against a skull. Blood pooling on concrete. The lifeless eyes of a man who dared to be open in a world that didn’t tolerate it.
Dominic’s brow furrowed, and he leaned down and kissed my temple. His lips lingered, and I let myself relax. Sparks danced along my skin.
“Why do you want me?” I whispered.
“I like you. The more time I spend with you, the more I realize I was wrong about you.”
“I didn’t think Dominic Caruso could be wrong about anything.”
“It happens. Rarely.” His lips twitched. “But it happens.”
“Well, don’t keep me in suspense.”
Dominic’s grin softened. “Every morning, you leave out food for the crows. You’re nice to the old lady next door. You take her packages inside so they don’t get stolen. You’re always thinking about other people, even when you act like you don’t give a shit.”
“You’ve been watching me?”
He smiled. “It’s not just the little things, though. You’d do anything to protect the people you care about.”
