Over the next couple of days, Dominic and I spent every free moment together. We fell into a nightly routine where he and I would have mind-blowing s*x in the camera's blind spots after our shift was over. Dominic definitely had a thing for public s*x, and I have to admit, I was beginning to enjoy it as well. There's just something about that rush of excitement, knowing that we could get caught at any moment; it makes it that much more pleasurable. Afterward, we would either go back to his place or snuggle up and watch the sunrise at the park. I've never been so happy in my entire life. I knew I was missing out on a lot, wasting so much time on Nate.
I woke up abruptly on Friday, late in the afternoon, to the high-pitched sound of John Luke's squeals coming from the living room. I glance at the clock to find it's 4:00 pm. I'm meeting Dominic at 5:30 pm at his apartment, so I excitedly roll out of bed to get myself showered and groomed for the day. I throw on my light-colored holey jeans with my black t-shirt and tie a black and white flannel around my waist. I straighten my hair, add a bit of makeup and perfume, then I proceed to pack myself an overnight bag to take with me tonight. Searching through my closet, I select a pair of black toeless boots to complete my ensemble before gathering my bag and strutting out of my room. As soon as I enter the hallway, the aroma of Momma's delicious home cooking invades my nostrils. She's making something in the crockpot for sure.
John Luke spots me from the living room as I walk down the hallway. The sound of my heavy black boots on the hardwood floors is a dead giveaway. He runs to greet me, "Hey, Aunt Maggie!"
"Hey, buddy. How are you doin?" I ask as I swoop down to pick him up.
He flashes a grin, "I'm good."
"Did you get to see Chloe?"
"Uh-huh. She's soft and cuddly." He says as he hugs himself.
"Yep, she sure is, buddy. You have to be very gentle with her because she's so tiny." I instruct him.
He nods in agreement as I rub the top of his head before setting him down. I reach down to pet Chloe for a moment before she follows me into the kitchen. Momma is sitting at the kitchen table with her crossword puzzle as I enter, "Hey Momma."
She looks up, "Oh, hey baby. You got plans tonight? You look awful pretty."
"Yep, I'm meeting Dominic at his place at 5:30 pm tonight. He's taking me out for dinner and a movie, and then I'm going to crash at his place."
She adjusts her glasses on her nose and smiles warmly at me, "Well, that sounds like fun."
I casually stroll by the crockpot, "Ohhh, what are you cooking, Momma? It smells amazing." I ask.
"Chicken and dumplins. John Luke loves my chicken and dumplins."
I pull out a spoon from the drawer, "Can I try a little bit?"
"Sure, honey. It should be done. Have yourself a bowl."
I dip a spoon in for a taste, "Yum. I don't want to ruin my dinner, but if there are any leftovers, I'll have some tomorrow when I get home."
"So, are you and the sexy Italian security guard dating?" she asks curiously.
"Well, yeah. I guess you can call it that. He asked me to go out on a date tonight. We've spent time together after every shift since he started. He's so incredible, Momma."
She chuckles, "Well, good. It makes me happy to see you so happy. I haven't seen that beautiful smile in a good long while."
"I'm so happy, Momma. He makes me feel good about myself. He doesn't put me down like Nate always did. Thank God he doesn't smoke. I despise the smell of cigarette smoke."
"That's all I could hope for, darlin. I'm so happy for you. I don't particularly appreciate that Nate was so mean. If your brother knew that...sheww... I shudder to think what he'd do." She says.
"Well, that's over and done. I've moved on." I tell her as I place the lid on the crockpot and my spoon into the dishwasher before walking over to kiss her on the cheek, "Bye, Momma. I'm going to head out now."
"Bye, baby. Have fun and be safe," she calls out.
Chloe prances around me as I leave the kitchen. I bend down to pick her up and cuddle with her for a moment. She runs her little wet tongue across my nose, "Bye, fluff nugget."
John Luke initiates play with her by grabbing her toy and throwing it across the room, "Oh! Better go get it, Miss Chloe." I say as I set her down.
She runs after it as I kneel before John Luke, "Bye bubby, give Aunt Maggie kisses."
"Ahh, you leavin?"
"Yep, Aunt Maggie will see you tomorrow. Be a good boy for Nana." I tell him as I plant a kiss on his forehead.
"Okay, I will," he says as he darts for Chloe, attempting to pull the toy from her mouth. She scurries playfully down the hall playing keep-away.
I grab my purse, keys, and overnight bag before heading out en route for Dominic's apartment.
I arrive a few moments later and park my car in the lot. I climb out, grabbing my bag and purse from the passenger side, strut up the steps, and walk inside the apartment complex entrance. I knock on the door once I arrive at his apartment; he answers a few seconds later, " Hey, Bella. Wow, you look stunning! Come inside, please." he directs as he opens the door further, allowing me inside.
"Thank you! Do you mind if I leave my bag in the bedroom?" I ask as I admire how sexy he looks tonight. He's wearing a tight grey t-shirt showing off his perfect abs, tight jeans, and black boots. God help me! I can feel the blood rushing to my head at that moment.
"No, of course not. I'll grab my keys and wallet, and then we can go," he says.
I walk back to the bedroom and place my bag on the dresser before returning to the living room. He smiles as I approach him, "God, you smell incredible, Dominic." I say breathlessly as I wrap my arms around his waist, inhaling his musky, clean scent.
He chuckles before leaning down to plant a kiss on my lips, "So do you." He responds.
"What time does the movie start that we decided on?" I ask.
"Umm... American Beauty starts at 7:30 pm. Why do you ask?"
"Good, we got time," I respond as I grab his hand and lead him to the bedroom.
As soon as we enter the bedroom, I spin around and anxiously unbutton his pants. A look of shock crosses his face, but he doesn't resist. I unzip his pants after I work the button out and reach in to fish out his c**k from his boxers. I kneel before him, take him into my mouth, and lick the tip like a melted ice cream cone while stroking his shaft. He gazes down at me, eyes blazing with carnal desire before he reaches down to lace his fingers through my hair. After a few moments, I can feel his body tense as he throws his head back and belts out a soft growl while tightening his grip on my hair. Suddenly, a warm shot of c*m shoots down my throat. I lick the tip to get every last drop before swallowing his warm saltiness. He flashes a sly grin as he gazes down at me, "Lay down on the bed, Bella." He directs as he stuffs his c**k into his boxers, buttons his pants, and pulls the zipper up.
"Nope. Let's go. I'm ready."
He shakes his head from side to side, "You do not want any pleasure?" he asks while pointing to the bed.
I reach out and take his hand, "Come on, sexy man, you can pleasure me later. I'm starved for food now."
He snickers, "Okay, Bella." He responds as he allows me to lead him out the door.
He hops on his bike, and I situate myself on the back, "Where would you like to eat?" He asks.
"How about pizza?"
He nods in agreement, "Alright. Pizza it is."
I wrap my arms around his waist and lace my fingers together. He reaches down and rubs the back of my thigh before starting his bike and taking off down the road. A few moments later, we arrive at Max's Pizzaria. The parking lot is nearly full once we arrive, but we are able to find a spot in the back. We hop off the bike and strut inside, holding hands. The hostess greets us once we enter, and she seats us in the corner booth in the back. After a few moments, the waitress comes by and places our menus down on the table before taking our drink order. Once she leaves, I run my hand down his thigh; he inhales audibly, "You are making me weak, Bella."
I lean into him and whisper into his ear, "Wait until we get back to your place tonight." I respond as I run my tongue along my bottom lip.
He chuckles before his attention is diverted across the room, "Do you know those two men staring at us, Maggie?" He asks curiously.
I reluctantly glance over in that direction. Once I realize who it is, I regret looking. s**t! It's Nate and Jeb. I lean over to whisper into his ear, "Yes, unfortunately. That is my ex and his cousin." I mumble.
"Which one is your ex?" He asks curiously.
"The one with the blue jacket and curly black hair."
He snorts, "Really? You dated him?" He asks as he curls his lip in disgust.
I chuckle, "Yes, for way too long, unfortunately."
"Well, we can put on a show for him, yeah? He hasn't stopped staring at you since we sat down."
I roll my eyes, "Just ignore him. Hopefully, they will leave soon."
"I do not think that will work, Bella. He is glaring at you now."
I glance over at Nate reluctantly to discover he is, in fact, glaring at me. I begin to fidget in my seat before realizing that he just mouthed the word slut with his eyes boring a hole through me. I lower my gaze to my lap to avoid his glare. Dominic clears his throat, "Excuse me a moment, Bella." He says as he quickly scoots out of the booth and approaches Nate and Jeb's booth.
As Dominic approaches, the three of them exchange a few words. I attempt to make out what they are saying unsuccessfully. The only thing I gathered from their conversation is that whatever was said, it caused Nate and Jeb to get up and leave the dining area quickly. Dominic returns to the booth, sliding in next to me with an evil grin, "Okay, he will not be a bother anymore tonight. That was way too easy."
I snicker, "Oh my gosh, what did you say?" I ask curiously.
"Well, let's just say we have an understanding."
"Ahh, okay, I can see that," I respond.
He glances down at the menu, "What would you like to order?" he asks.
"I don't care. I like everything here."
"Why don't we order a medium pepperoni pizza?" he suggests.
"Sounds perfect. I'm starved."
The waitress returns with our drinks moments later and takes our order. Dominic and I make small talk about Gran's funeral tomorrow, my past relationship with Nate, my family, Chloe, and my plans for opening up my own business.
I shift the topic of conversation onto him after spilling the beans on myself, "So tell me more about you? Your parents? Venice? I've always wanted to go to Italy."
"Well, my Papa is a very hard-working, self-made man. My Mama stayed at home and raised my brother and me. My brother works for my father now at the vineyard. He has a wife and four kids. Two boys and two girls. One of my nephews has what they call down syndrome. He's a vivacious and loving boy." He says before I interrupt him.
I gasp before I reach out to grab his arm. He appears to be taken back by my reaction, so I squeeze his arm reassuringly, "Oh gosh, I'm sorry I reacted like that. It's just that I have a friend who I adore named Lola, who has downs. She moved away, but she is the same way. I know exactly what it is." He smiles warmly at me and begins to relax.
I rest my face on my hand with my elbow on the table, "What's it like in Venice?" I ask curiously.
"Well, it's beautiful in its own way, but it's very overcrowded with tourists. It makes things difficult for locals. My Papa is easily annoyed with the tourists." He chuckles.
I nod in agreement as I gaze into his eyes, realizing I could just get lost in them. He playfully nudges me, "You should visit with me, Bella. My Mama would love to meet you."
"I'd love to. Just tell me when and I'm there."
He rests his arm around my back, "I like that. We will plan it then."
I reach my hand out for his, "Shake on it?"
He nods in agreement and shakes my hand, "Okay, I will shake on it."
"Great. Are you ready to go see the movie now?" I ask.
"Yes, let's go." He responds.
He pays the bill and we exit the restaurant before climbing onto his bike and taking off en route for the movie theatre. We arrive moments later, and I could hardly keep my hands off Dominic tonight; he was so darn irresistible. We may have only watched the last few minutes of the movie because the s****l chemistry was so heavy, it consumed us. Once the movie was over, we climb on the back of his bike once more, and he speeds off down the road back to his place.
