The last six months with Dominic have been amazing. After the night we first had sex, we had a conversation about if we wanted this to be a real relationship. I told him that I couldn’t imagine my life without him in it now. He agreed. It was that simple, we decided that we were a couple.
When he said he would take care of me, he truly meant it. He is the sweetest man I have ever met. Everything he does, he considers me. I am naturally that way, but he shows his love for me in everything he does. From how he wakes me with a kiss before he leaves, to how he texts me often when he is on call at the hospital.
When Chase was arrested, I was given his position, so I moved to actually work in the office. I am two blocks from the hospital and four from Dominic’s office, so I spend my lunches with him unless he is in surgery.
I had to find a new gynecologist, but I let him decide where since these were his colleagues. He ultimately ended up choosing his best friend, David. He trusted him and knew that he would give me the same care that he would. My pain has disappeared, but I haveto have regular checks to make sure that things aren’t getting bad again. My period cramps are still killer, but birth control keeps that at bay for the most part. David is the one who assisted during my surgery, so he is aware of how severe things were.
My dad absolutely adores Dominic and Harper does too. It’s hard to impress those two but Dominic does it with ease.
Dominic fucks like a monster and is aggressively dominant in bed, but it’s also the best sex of my life. We don’t go more than a day without sex unless he is on call multiple days in a row. Even then, he has snuck me into the on-call room to fuck me. I am certain that my cervix stays bruised because I refuse to let him try and take my ass yet. We’ve been working up to it with toys and I know one day I’ll let him, I’m just afraid of getting torn in half.
Today we moved into our new home. I haven’t seen the inside since the movers got everything inside. Dominic took me to work today so I couldn’t sneak home and look. He said he wanted it to be a surprise. I am pretty sure he’s up to something, but I can’t ever tell with him.
We pull into the driveway, and he comes around to open my door. “Welcome home, Luna,” he says as he takes my hand. He leads me inside and lets go so I can explore. Everything is elegantly decorated. It has a cozy minimalist feel, which fits both of us.
“Everything is gorgeous, Dom. I love it,” I say as I walk back into the living room. I stop dead in my tracks when I see him set a vase of white roses on the coffee table before picking up a small box in the shape of a coffin.
“Come here, Princess,” he says sweetly.
“Dominic,” I whisper.
“Come here,” he says again, pointing to the floor in front of him. I walk over to him and stand where he wants me. When he goes down on one knee, I cover my mouth and tear up. “Luna, you are the love of my life. From the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew one day we’d be here. I want nothing more than to spend the rest of my life loving you the way you deserve to be loved… Luna, will you marry me?”
He opens the little box and reveals a black diamond ring with a rose gold band. I nod with tears rolling down my cheeks before wrapping my arms around his neck. When he stands, he picks me up so I can wrap my legs around his waist. I grab his face and kiss him hard. When he lays me on my back on the couch, he stays between my legs.
“Welcome to the afterlife, baby,” he says with a grin.
“You are such a smartass,” I laugh and pull him down to kiss again.
Chapter six
Whoops...
Stepdad/stepdaughter
I seriously have toget my own place. I still live at home with my mom and stepdad because I don’t have to pay rent here. I am twenty-one years old and in college, so I need to save all the money I can. Living in the city can get kind of expensive so I will have to make sacrifices where I can.
It’s not that living with them is bad. Mom is hardly here because she’s always away on business which I think is code for fucking her other boyfriend. But it’s not my relationship, so it’s not my problem. I don’t know if she is actually fucking someone else. Dante isn’t bad either. He is just always here. He works from home for the most part so no matter what I do, he’s here. I thought it would be a smart idea to take online classes and also work from home so it’s just him and I all day.
I stay holed up in my room for the most part because he’s always watching sports and I have zero interest in seeing that bullshit. Tonight I can hear a football game on. I already know that mom is probably in her office next to my room. That’s where she’s alwaysat, if she’s home. For being a married couple, they never spend time together.
Mom and Dante got married when I was eighteen, so they haven’t even been together for very long either. How he puts up with her is beyond me. He definitely deserves better than that. He is a handsome man and could have his pick of women, but for whatever reason, he chose a bitter and grumpy workaholic bitch.
Okay, so maybe Mom and I don’t get along. She has always been emotionally unavailable to me. No matter what I’ve needed her for, she just doesn’t show up. If she is there, she’s not present.
A knock at my door makes me sigh. “Yeah?”
“Dinner is ready, Ava,” Dante says.
“I’m good.” I frown at him and look back at my computer.
“Ava,” he says with humor in his tone. He walks in and sits on my bed before shutting my laptop.
“I was using that.”
“Now you aren’t,” he says. “Come eat, please.”
“I have no interest in fighting with her. She’s in a piss poor mood which means she’s going to bitch at me for something,” I say.
