“Wake up, sweetheart”

What the—?

Soft lips skihand pulls me from my side to ht behind my ear that makes every nerve in my body come alive

“What are you doing?” My fingers find their way into his thick, dark hair as I feel hiainst my skin My nipples pucker almost painfully His body is deliciously fire to opendown at ht

“I think it’s pretty obvious what I’e hands and lowers his lips toback and forth acrossplanted between both of ainst the center of h pressure to ainst him, and he lays the sexiest kiss I’ve ever had onme in the most delicious way

I knew Dominic Salvatore would be an excellent kisser

My hands roam from his soft hair down to his shoulders and ar arms

“Don’t tell h as he kisses his way down my chest to one breast where he pullsain “Please I need you”

“This is crazy” But I don’t push hiain and drag hiet enough of his mouth

He shifts, settling his pelvis againstand thick andstaccato

“You’re so wet,” he whispers harshly “Open your eyes”

It’s not a request

He’s staring down at me with an intensity I’ve never seen fro rip hi myself up to him

“I wasn’t going to do this with you”

He clenches his eyes shut and tilts his forehead against mine

“I can’t stay away from you I’ve tried, bella”

I can hear Italy in his voice His body is tight with yearning, but he’s holding hi for

How can I say no to this?

I don’t want to say no to this!

“Dom?”

“Anything Anything you want”

I circle my hips A slow smile spreads over my lips, as his jaw clenches and he ritted teeth

“Yes” I whisper

His hand palht nipple

“Are you sure?” His hand glides down ainst him

“Yes”

“You’re so damn wet, Alecia”

“I know”

He grins down at me, pulls his hips back, and then slides insideme completely

We both gasp, eyes locked, as he stills, buried inside me, and I swear to God, buried in the very heart of me

Except, I don’t do hearts and flowers
