Dominic (Made Men 8)

Knowing her nearly naked body was under his coat was a dream that sent his heart racing. Dom was strong … but he wasn’t that strong.

Maria crawled up to him, not stopping until her body was plastered to his. She let go of the coat that held up between them, so she could wrap her arms back around his neck. One wrong move, and the jacket would slip, then there would be nothing separating her body from his.

Taking her lips in a hot kiss, he dueled her tongue with his as he felt his resolve begin to slip along with the jacket ….

“Please, Maria,” Dominic groaned as he pulled his lips from hers and held her body tightly to him so the jacket wouldn’t fall. “I don’t have the strength to turn you down anymore.”

With his forehead resting on hers, mixed with their heavy breaths, Maria understood what he was asking, and even though it was clear she didn’t want to do it, she let go of his neck and grabbed the jacket, then pulled back.

Regretting it already, Maria lay down on the bed in a sexually frustrated huff. “You owe me for this. Big time.”

Staring down at her on the silky sheets with nothing but his jacket covering her, Dominic definitely regretted it more when he covered her with the comforter to tuck her into bed.

Getting his thoughts under control, along with his self-control, he sat back down on the edge of her bed. “I do,” he said, seeing how pissed she was. Dom smiled as he leaned down to steal a sweet kiss from her lips, “How about dinner tomorrow at Kat’s? She invited me to come over to spend time with her and—” Dom hated to say the word.

“Drago.” Maria helped him out with a smile, taking mercy on him from saying husband.

“So, will you come with me?” he asked again when she didn’t answer.

“Are you sure I should come? It’s not a family thing?”

“Don’t worry.” Dom stole another kiss. “You will be soon.”

If there was one thing Maria liked, it was obviously confidence.

Stealing some of her own kisses, Maria finally agreed, seeing how important it was to him. “I will, but that doesn’t exactly make up for you not fucking me.”

“I’ll see if I can make it up to you somehow,” he promised.

“I have an idea how you can make it up right now.” Maria grabbed his hair, pulling him into another deep kiss that Dom had to stop.

Exasperated and drunk, Maria threw her head back on the bed. “What’s wrong with me? What have you done to me?”

Dominic couldn’t help but laugh, pushing the strands of golden hair out of her face. He felt a little bad for her. “Princess, you’re horny. I know you might be foreign to the feeling, but you just need a good fuck.”

Maria went to open her mouth—

“After we’re married,” he concluded.

“Fine,” Maria hiccupped, only giving in because the alcohol was now starting to cause her lids to fall.

“Goodnight, Maria.” Dom gave one last tender kiss on her lips. “I love you.”

Maria’s eyelids fell completely, barely able to manage the words, “Goodnight, Domin …”

Smiling at a sleeping Maria, he let the back of his fingers rub her cheeks for a moment, not wanting to leave her. He knew he had it bad for her, but he didn’t think it was this possible to fall so hard for someone. However, Dom should have known he would. He was a man who, when he loved, he loved hard.

Picking up her heels and dress, he regretfully left her side. Quietly, he went to another door in her room that he knew must’ve been a closet, but jeez, he didn’t think it would look like this. Half of it was ceiling to floor in clothes and the other half was ceiling to floor in purses and shoes. If this was her closet here, he wondered what her closet at her family home looked like.

Dom laid her dress down on a velvet bench in the middle of the closet that he figured was where she put on her shoes before he went to put her heels in the only spot that wasn’t filled.

While he could look in here all night of the things he looked forward to seeing her wear, he took particular interest in her heels. He picked out about five or so pairs that he would be asking to see her in before he went to leave.

About to turn the closet light off, his eye was caught by the only black item he could see. Walking over to it, Dom pulled the hanger off the rack to take a look at it.

Smiling, Dominic still somehow found a way to love Maria even more … while staring at the suit jacket that he had given her when he had left her in the freezer.
