“Have you ever cheated?”
“No. I wouldn’t do that. Have you ever cheated?”
“No. I’ve been cheated on, but I’ve never been the one doing the cheating.”
“I’m so sorry, baby. I won’t cheat on you.”
“I’m scared, Dominic.”
“Don’t be. I’ll take care of you.”
“Everything is moving so fast.”
“Then we’ll slow it down. We’re both in control here.”
“I don’t know if I want to slow it down, or speed it up.”
He chuckled. “It would be nice to have a brief look into our future, see what we can do to change our lives, or make it better.”
“Sometimes. Right now, I don’t want to move.”
“How are you feeling?”
“My ass is a little sore. No, that’s a lie, it’s a lot sore.”
“I’m going to go and run you a nice long bath.” He pressed a kiss to her lips, and left the bed. He stopped on the entrance to the bathroom, turning back to look at her. “I know I’m not what you expected, but give me a chance, Avery. I’ve been known to surprise everyone.”
“I will, Dominic.”
It was time to take care of his woman.
His woman.
He could get used to that.
