“What do you mean?”

“One of my MC brothers is a carpenter, another one works with industrial machinery, and we have several mechanics, painters, and construction workers. This is the perfect project that’s going to bring us together. This is what we’re building. We’ll all have a part in it.”

“But… but what about getting away from the past? This building was vandalized by the very people you’re trying to forget.”

“I thought that’s what everyone needed; what I needed. I was wrong. I can’t pretend all the shit with the former president didn’t happen, and furthermore, I shouldn’t. We learned from everything that happened. The club took a hit and came back stronger. Why would I want to hide that? The past doesn’t define us, nor does it dictate our future. Only we can do that.”

“But… but…” She’s having a hard time coming up with another excuse. “I’ll still have to tell my boss about the damage. You and I know who did this, but there’s not a ton of proof.”

“Actually,” I say, peering over at her. “The call I got this morning was from an MC brother tracking those degenerate assholes down. The data showed all four of their motorcycles were here last night for about an hour. Right now, a few of my men are gathering more evidence to place them here at the scene of the crime. Property damage might not land them in jail, but it will put them on the police’s radar, especially if they don’t show up to court or pay the fines.”

“I… I don’t know what to say,” she whispers in disbelief.

"Say you'll sell me the property? At the asking price? Show me the dotted line and I'll sign my name right now. That's how sure I am about this. About my future. Our future, if you’ll have me.”

“You really mean that,” she says, more to herself than to me.

“With every beat of my heart,” I whisper, pressing a kiss to her temple and then drawing her into my arms. “I love you, Calista. I want you in my life now and forever.”

“I think I’d like that,” my girl says, clinging to me with all her strength.

I chuckle and lift her up into my arms, twirling her around and taking her lips in a sweet, joyful kiss.

“I love you, too, by the way,” she says in between kisses.

“You better,” I grunt, making her laugh. This is it. This is the beginning of everything.

CALISTA

Islowly blink my eyes open, unsure what woke me up at first. My body shivers involuntarily and I realize Domino is stroking my pussy, his fingers gliding up and down my heated flesh, pausing to flick my clit.

I gasp and twitch beneath his touch, making Domino groan. “So wet for me this early in the morning,” he rasps into the shell of my ear.

“Always,” I say with a nod.

It’s true. I’ve woken up next to Domino every day for over two months now, and I can’t remember a morning I didn’t have a greedy appetite for my man.

“Fuckin’ love that about you. Love everything about you.”

“Love you, too,” I whisper, rolling my naked body against his.

He turns so he’s hovering over me, his ravenous eyes taking in my body, spread out before him. His hazel eyes lock on mine before he leans down for a kiss. It starts out sweet but soon turns passionate, almost desperate. Domino consumes me with his tongue. He's unyielding and I can't get enough of him. He breaks the kiss and starts working his way down my jaw, sucking on my ear, and then nipping at my pulse point before kissing away the sting.

“I need you, Calista. I need to be inside of you.”

“Yes, Domino. Please.”

He growls and crashes his lips into mine in a wild and desperate kiss. Then he rolls us over so I’m on top.

“Straddle me, beautiful. I want you to ride my cock. I want to see your gorgeous body bounce on top of me.”

His words make my clit throb. I swing my leg over his lap and rise up on my knees. I don't really know what I'm doing, and I hesitate for a moment. Domino grips my hips in his warm hands and guides me over his huge dick.

“You’re so fucking gorgeous, Calista. Whatever you do will be amazing.”

I slowly slide my body down, feeling him enter me one inch at a time. We both groan as I sink down, finally filled up with him completely.
