The men nodded.
“Let’s get together later when we have more information. For the time being, she’s safe here,” Alastair said.
“I want to thank you guys for all your help,” Dominic said.
“I’ve told you before. That’s what family’s for,” Graham said.
Dominic was really coming to enjoy having a big family. A few weeks ago, it had been just him. Now he had more than he thought he ever would.
Dominic went back up to the room. The first thing he saw was the empty bed and then the closed bathroom door.
He stared at the door for a moment and felt resentment start to build. He didn’t like anything separating them, but it was another thing he’d have to give her time for.
He knocked.
“Yes,” she said.
“Are you decent?”
“Well, not really. I only have a towel around me.”
“Good enough.” He grinned at her gasp.
“What are you doing?” she yelled. She clutched at the top of the towel with one hand and the hair dryer in the other.
“I’m looking at my fiancée.”
“Stop saying that.”
He chuckled. “No.”
She had been blowing her hair dry before he walked in, stood behind her, and stared at her in the mirror. The difference in their size was more pronounced when they stood with him behind her. The top of her head came up to his chin, and she looked even more delicate.
Fuck, she was so damn feminine and smelled so good. His mouth watered. He liked how her eyes darkened, and she shivered when he set his hands on her shoulders.
“You’re so fucking soft.”
She stared at him, seemingly frozen.
He ran his hands up and down her arms before one hand slid around and pressed on her lower abdomen. The sight of hislarge, callused, dark hand on the white towel made him even hotter.
Dominic trapped her gaze with his and watched her carefully as he bent forward and pressed his lips against her shoulder. He explored her neck with his lips, tongue, and teeth when she didn’t say anything.
She pressed more of her weight against him when her legs started to shake. It looked like she was getting hotter and hotter.
The hand on her stomach slowly moved up and then cupped her breast through the towel.
She inhaled sharply. “Dominic.”
“What, baby?” he murmured against her neck.
“I-I don’t…”
He bit down on her shoulder enough for her to feel the sharp edge of his teeth but not give her pain. “It’s okay, sweetheart,” he purred. “I’ll take such good care of you.” He wanted to shout triumphally when she leaned against him and tilted her head to the side to give him better access.
A savage curse sprang from his lips when his phone went off in his pocket.
“I’m sorry, baby. I have to get this. But don’t think for a moment that this is over. I’ll make you feel good later when we go to bed.”
