We find Garrett and Paige easily, my prediction of them being creepers at the bar was spot on. Paige watches me with trouble dancing in her eyes. Before I get a chance to say anything, she steps to the side with a wink.
Sitting on the bar behind her is four shots. I laugh, already knowing that ending a good night out with shots is one of her unbreakable musts.
She hands me one, then turns to offer one to Garrett and Dominik. The tiny glasses filled with the lemon drop makes me laugh as Paige turns to pick hers up while filling them in.
“If a night out is good, we end it on a fruity shot for good luck.”
“And if it wasn’t a good night?” Garrett questions her with a smile to which she wrinkles her nose.
“Fireball. That shits gross, so it matches the theme of crap.”
The guys laugh at that, and Dominik keeps his eyes on me while we all clink our glasses. His hungry gaze mixed with the tartness and alcohol, which is way more than a normal lemon drop shot should have, heats me to my core. Wiping a small drop from my chin, I clear my throat and turn to Paige. She’s already nodding her head, ready to burst with pure joy as she pulls me in for a hug.
“I’m heading out too. Garrett was just offering to walk me home, since we actually have some work to do tomorrow morning.” She states loud enough for both guys to hear before whispering in my ear. “Are you about to do what I think you’re gonna do?”
I pull back slightly, needing to see if she thinks this is a stupid idea. Giving a small nod and a smile I can’t control, as I respond in a low voice.
“We are going back to my place.” Paige does a small wiggle of excitement as she turns to grab her bag. She pulls out a piece of gum and a small foil packet. My eyes bulge as I meet her gaze.
“Don’t wanna risk him not having one.” She glances over at Dominik, who has his back to us as he talks to Garrett. “On second thought, here, take a couple.”
I nearly choke as she pulls out four more condoms and quickly hands them to me. Clearing her throat, she winks and says loud enough for them to hear this time.
“I expect a text when you get home safe. Now go while I close our tab.”
I turn while shaking my head and say goodbye to Garrett before catching Dominik’s gaze. I’m not surprised to find that he’s already watching me, his eyes darkened with desire. My breath stutters as heat floods my body.
When I move to pass Dominik, he matches my pace and settles a hand on my lower back. As I lead us toward my apartment, I can’t help but wonder if this is the right thing?
We are both clearly attracted to each other.
Hell, for over four fucking years I was convinced I was broken for never wanting to have sex with Cam. Last year, I thought that we weren’t meant to be together, but immediately told myself that I had to stay with him. He acted like he loved me, so who else would put up with me being damaged?
Then Dominik comes along and is causing me to feel all warm and tingly just by simply kissing me. There is a huge part of me that needs to see how far this feeling goes. I’ve only ever had sex with Cam.
Maybethatwas the problem.
Neither one of us speaks for the first couple minutes, which is perfectly fine as I internally hype myself up. By the time we’re approaching the last street before turning the corner to my building, I pause to take his appearance in again.
Thanks to the khaki shorts he’s wearing, it’s easy to admire the muscles on his calves and wonder if his thighs are equally mouthwatering. His navy short sleeve shirt hugs all his muscles perfectly as it clings to his arms. Dominik works out, and not in the “I go to the gym and post a picture then leave fifteen minutes later” way.
Dominik takes a couple steps before he notices I stopped, and when he turns around to meet my gaze, every inch of me is ready for where things are heading. Pushing away any more comparisons or lingering doubts, I close the distance between us. Once I’m in front of him, I reach up to wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him. Without hesitation, he leans down and wraps me in his arms. As his tongue clashes with mine, I don’t even have time to be embarrassed about the moan that escapesmy lips. All my thoughts disappear and focus on the feel of his body pressed against mine.
I break the kiss to murmur that my apartment is around the corner, then he’s on me again. He starts stumbling a couple steps, and after a minute, with a laugh, I pull away, straightening myself before taking his hand. He doesn’t give me space as we start walking again. Planting kisses on my shoulder and jaw as he fumbles behind me, causing me to wonder if he’s even paid any attention to where we’re walking.
Once we’re through my building’s front door though, my own restraint slips. I turn around and I’m instantly met with his mouth on mine, as if he knew exactly what I wanted. We stumble backwards as I half drag him toward the elevator to push the button. Dominik pushes me against the wall as we wait, kissing me until I almost miss the ding. Breaking away while slightly gasping to catch my breath, I move into the elevator, except he doesn’t let me go.
Instead, he leans down, wrapping his hands under my ass before lifting me up. Without hesitation, my legs lock around his waist and I’m kissing him again. When he steps into the elevator, the doors instantly shut behind him, and I break away to quickly press my floor number. Dominik takes the opportunity to kiss along my neck some more until I’m left squirming and grinding against him. His cock presses against my center, and while some part of me wonders if I should be embarrassed, all I can focus on is wondering how his impressive length would feel inside me. Using the elevator wall for support, I grind myself against him and don’t even try to muffle my moan.
The doors open and Dominik turns with me in his arms, heading down the hall blindly as he kisses me senseless.
“Third door on the right.” I barely break the kiss to murmur against his lips. He squeezes my ass in response, but still doesn’t pull away until he is pushing me against my door. I don’t knowhow much time passes, but I break away with a gasp and let my legs finally untangle from his waist. Every inch of my body is hyper aware of him as he sets me down, hands sliding up my shirt and resting on my sides. His thumbs trace along my ribs as he leans down to kiss me again, only to miss when I turn in his hold. Not missing a beat, he slides his hand up to move my braid over my shoulder, and starts ravishing my neck.
I’ve never been more thankful for the fact that the door unlocks with a six-digit code so that I don’t have to fumble for a key. Once my door is open, Dominik wastes no time following me inside, shutting and locking it behind him. Throwing my small wallet and phone on the entrance table, I turn back to him.
We both just stare at each other, his eyes tracing over every inch of me as he licks his lips. When he meets my gaze again, there’s nothing but pure desire written across his features, he clears his throat and breaks the silence.
“I want to make something clear.” He speaks just as I take a single step toward him.
