"I love it," I finally say, wiping away the tears that have continued falling.
Dominic gently lifts me into his arms and my legs go around his waist to keep from falling. This turns into a massive group hug.
I lay my head on Dom's chest. When the guys break away, I notice them slying wiping away the odd tear. I hide my smile. When I've controlled my tears, I sit up, meeting Dom's eyes.
"It's beautiful, Dom," I murmur. The guys turn away, getting beers out of the fridge.
He stares at me for a moment. His hands balled in fists like he's holding something back.
One of his hands reaches up to cup my cheek. Before I can comprehend what’s happening, his lips brush over mine. They linger for a few seconds before they're gone leaving a ghost of the feeling remaining.
My mouth pops open. Dom just kissed me.
He searches my eyes before he smiles softly, a boyish grin on his face. He gently lowers me into the bench and turns back to what he was doing before I saw his tattoo.
I lift a shaky hand to my lips feeling the sensation of his pressed against mine over and over.
I look over and realise Mason's staring at me. He saw us, I can see it in his face. There's no hints of jealously in his expression when he winks and tips his beer to me.
Everyone goes on with what they're doing as I silently freak out.
What the hell just happened?
Chapter 11 ~
Dominic ~
I totally freaked her out.
She's been sort of in a daze the whole way through dinner. Mason, the cheeky fucker who's pretending he didn't see me kiss her, manages to pull her out of it.
I didn't mean to. She just looked sad but really fucking beautiful and I couldn't stop myself.
She liked it. I think that's what's confusing her the most.
Fuuuck! I'm gonna be in a shitload of trouble for this. Jace is going to kill me. Luc is going to kill me. The twins are going to kill me. Alec…is probably going to castrate me, then kill me.
Fuck! What about Alec? I told him I didn't want to mess with our friendship after our drunken mishap then I kiss Rory?!
I am going to hell.
Rory hands me her plate, hesitantly meeting my eyes.
"Don't overthink it, Sweetheart," I murmur as she passes. She doesn’t meet my eyes as she nods slightly.
She's totally overthinking it.
Rory leaves the kitchen and Luc goes to follow her but Mase grab his arm, yanking him back. He waits until Rory's out of the room before releasing Luc.
Mason clears his throat, crossing his arms and looking at me with a smirk on his face.
"Dominic has something he wants to tell us," Mason announces. Dickhead.
He knew if he put me on the spot, I’d have to confess.
The guys all turn and watch him.
"Dom?" Mason prompts me, not giving me an out. I sigh and lean back against the counter.
