Chapter Seventeen
She fidgeted when he only stared at her with an intense, heated look.
“You’re beautiful, baby.”
“Thank you.”
She’d never felt this insecure in her life, and she didn’t particularly like it.
He held his hand out. “Let’s go meet my sisters.”
She clutched his hand as he led her down the stairs. He had to stop once to ask a maid where the room was, and it seemed to take forever because the house was so large.
The first thing she saw was four beautiful women. Three looked like they could be triplets.
“Girls. I’d like you to meet Rebeka.”
She hadn’t realized she’d tightened her grip on him when they all came forward.
“This is Beth, Faith, Angelica, and Hope,” Dominic said.
“Wow, your family is gorgeous,” Rebeka said.
The women grinned.
“I was going to say you are beautiful,” Angelica said.
The other three smiled and nodded.
“Can she eat lunch with us, Dominic?” Faith asked.
Domonic nodded. “I want her to stay with you while I go take care of something. I’m making you responsible for her, so don’t let anything happen to her.”
Faith shook her head. “We won’t.”
“Good.”
He turned toward her and pressed his lips against hers. “Stay with the girls. I’ll be back soon.”
She had no idea what to say, so she just nodded.
Hope grabbed her hand and started pulling her outside and toward a white iron table.
“Come and sit. Lunch will be served soon.”
She sat and waited for one of them to talk.
“After lunch, I think we should go through our closets and give Rebeka some clothes,” Angelica said.
“Oh, no. You don’t have to do that,” Rebeka said.
“Us girls need to stick together,” Faith said. “The five of us will become best friends.”
“That sounds nice. I haven’t had a girlfriend for a few years. If I wasn’t going to school, I was working to support myself and my cousin.”
“Graham told me a little about it. I’m sorry,” Faith said.
The other girls seemed curious.
