We slide into the back of the waiting car, the privacy partition already up, giving us a moment of stolen intimacy. The second the door closes, Dom pulls me into his arms, his mouth crashing against mine in a kiss that’s all heat and hunger.
I melt into him, my body molding to his as if it were made to fit there. His hands roam over my curves, tracing the lines of my body with a possessiveness that makes me shiver.
He nips at my lower lip, his tongue soothing the sting before delving into my mouth, tangling with mine in a dance that’s both familiar and exhilarating. I can taste the chocolate and wine on his breath, the flavors mingling with the unique essence that’s just him.
His fingers skim along the neckline of my dress, dipping beneath the fabric to tease the sensitive skin of my collarbone. I arch into his touch, a breathy moan escaping my lips as he trails kisses down the column of my throat.
“Dom,” I gasp, my hands fisting in his hair as he finds that spot just behind my ear that always drives me wild. “Don't stop…”
He chuckles against my skin, the vibrations sending shivers racing down my spine. “Oh, I have no intention of stopping, baby. Not until I've had my fill of you.”
His hand slides lower, pushing up the hem of my dress until his fingers can brush against the lace edge of my panties. I buck my hips, seeking more of his touch, more of the delicious friction that's building between my thighs.
“So responsive,” he murmurs, his voice low and rough with desire. “So eager for me.”
I whimper as his fingers slip beneath the fabric, stroking along my slick folds with a teasing lightness. “Please,” I beg, my head falling back against the seat as I surrender to the sensations he’s evoking in me. “I need…”
“I know what you need,” he growls, his teeth grazing the sensitive skin of my neck. “And I’m going to give it to you, Sofia. I’m going to make you come so hard, you'll forget your own name.”
His words send a bolt of pure, unadulterated lust straight to my core, and I can feel the telltale fluttering of my inner muscles as they clench around nothing. I’m so close already, so desperate for release that I can barely think straight.
But just as I’m about to beg him to stop teasing, to give me what I need… the car slows to a stop, the driver’s voice crackling over the intercom to let us know we've arrived.
Dom pulls back, his eyes dark and heavy-lidded with desire. “To be continued,” he promises, his voice a low, seductive rumble that sends shivers down my spine.
I nod, my breath coming in shallow pants as I try to compose myself. My skin feels too tight, my body thrumming with a need that’s been left unfulfilled.
As we exit the car, the cool night air a sharp contrast to the heat that’s been building between us, Dom suddenly pulls me close again. His lips find mine in a searing kiss, his hands roaming my body with a hunger that takes my breath away.
We stumble our way back to our room, our mouths rarely parting as we explore each other with a desperate urgency. It's like we’re teenagers again, lost in the heady rush of first love and unbridled passion. I can’t seem to keep my hands off him, my fingers eagerly tugging at his clothes as he does the same to me.
By the time we fall onto the bed, we’re both half-undressed, our skin flushed and heated wherever it touches. Dom hovers over me, his eyes dark with desire as he takes in the sight of me laid out beneath him.
In that moment, everything else fades away—the pain of the past, the uncertainty of the future. All that exists is the two of us, our bodies and hearts intertwined in a dance as old as time.
As Dom lowers his mouth to mine once more, his hands caressing me with a reverence that brings tears to my eyes, I let myself get swept away in the tide of sensation. I lose myself in his touch, in the way he cherishes and adores me like I’m the most precious thing in his world.
And for the first time in longer than I can remember, I feel a flicker of hope bloom to life in my chest, a fragile, tentative belief that maybe, just maybe, we can find our way back to each other.
That maybe the love we once shared isn’t lost forever but is merely lying dormant, waiting for the right moment to reignite into the all-consuming blaze I know it can be.
As we come together, our bodies joining and moving as one, I let that hope take root in my heart. I nurture it with each gentle touch, each whispered word of love and devotion.
I pray that this is the start of a new beginning for us, a chance to heal, to forgive, to build something beautiful from the ashes of our broken past.
Dom and I have a long road ahead of us. I know that. But wrapped in his arms, surrounded by his love and his strength…
I finally feel like I’m exactly where I'm meant to be. Like I’m home, in every sense of the word.
And come what may, I know we’ll face it together. One day at a time, one moment of connection and tenderness at a time.
Until our love is unbreakable, unshakeable, unstoppable.
Just like it was always meant to be.
