“We’re just getting to know our brother,” Beth told him.
One of Alastair’s eyebrows rose. “All right. Are you about done?”
They all nodded.
“Good. I need my wife.” He held out his hand to Beth.
She went right to him. Seeing this intimidating guy softenwhen he had his wife in his arms was amazing.
Alastair looked at him. “I’d like to have a meeting with you tomorrow.”
Dominic nodded. “That’s fine. I wasn’t planning on going anywhere tomorrow, so any time would work.”
“I’ll have someone get a hold of you in the morning.”
“All right.”
The man turned and led Beth out of the office. He was glad to see his sisters didn’t seem intimidated by the man, and he hoped someday he’d be able to say that.
“I should get up to Rebeka.”
“Go, we’ll talk to you tomorrow. Call if you need anything,” Faith said.
“I will. Thanks, girls.”
Dominic went to the room, unlocked the bedroom door, and went in. He saw the TV was on, and Rebeka was asleep on the sofa.
He stood over her for a long time and stared down at her. Fuck, she was so fucking gorgeous. He prided himself on his control, but with her, he had none. His body was hard, and he was desperate to be inside of her sweet cunt, but he knew it was too early to make a move. The last thing he wanted was to scare her more than she already was.
He had to get her used to him first.
“Hey, baby, wake up.” He brushed the hair from her face.
She stirred, opened her eyes, and looked up at him.
“Hi,” he said.
“Hi. What time is it?”
He looked at the clock on the DVD player. “It’s about five o’clock.”
“You were gone a long time,” she said.
“You look more rested than before I left. I think it was good that I gave you some time.”
She struggled to sit up and then pulled the blanket up to her chest.
He walked over to the tray on the table. “It doesn’t look like you ate, baby.”
“I wasn’t hungry.”
“We’ll have dinner in the next hour, but I’m going to nibble on the fruit. I didn’t eat lunch.” He sat down beside her with the bowl in his lap. He could tell she was startled when he pressed a piece of cantaloupe to her lips. “Open up.”
She did and chewed on the fruit. He went back and forth until the bowl was gone.
After setting the bowl down, he leaned back, rested his arm on the back of the sofa, and stretched his legs out. “What are you watching?” he asked.
“I have no idea. I started watching a movie and then fell asleep.”
