Frederick sighed. “Mother, stop. You can’t guilt trip us into moving back.”
Frederick’s body was a bundle of frustration, and I wasn’t sure how I could help him at the moment. We’d told her many times that we were staying here.
“Father.”
Frederick and his father shared a long look before Edmund suddenly decided it was time for them to leave.
“Dorthea, say goodbye for now. We’ll see them several more times before we return to Spain.” Edmund stood as he reached for Dorthea’s hands to help her up.
“But we just got here.”
“Yes, but you’ve annoyed our son. I’ve told you several times to leave it alone. He’s frustrated with us now, and it’s best we give him space.” Edmund pulled Dorthea to her feet. “Dominic, it was nice to meet you and I hope we can get together soon for a family meal at Rainier’s.”
Frederick stood, and I joined him. “That would be lovely, yes. We’ve had one meal already, and it was quite an experience since I’m from such a small family.”
Frederick started walking them toward the front door. “Tomorrow,” he said. “We’ll be sure to see you tomorrow.”
I stopped about five meters from the door, but could still see it clearly. Frederick and his father said something quietly, and after Dorthea gave Frederick a hug, she and Edmund disappeared. Frederick stood there a few seconds and then turned and let out a frustrated breath.
“So that was my parents. They really want all of the kids to live on the same street and give them tons of grandkids. Especially Mother.”
I couldn’t help it, I chuckled. “You don’t say.” I closed the distance between us and without hesitation I wrapped my arms around Frederick’s waist. “I don’t mind visiting. If you want, we can move to Spain when you’re ready,” I told him.
Frederick took a deep breath and let it out. “I was actually thinking about doing just that before I met you. I was considering resigning my position in the council and going home. I was frustrated because I wasn’t finding my One here, and I didn’t know if I ever would.”
I leaned in and kissed him quickly. “I’m glad you didn’t. I might not have met you as soon as I did.”
Frederick kissed me back and then placed his forehead against mine. “Me too. I’m sorry about my parents.”
“Don’t be. She’s harmless. A little push about it, but I can understand she just wants all of her grandbabies nearby. She seems very sweet, and your father is quite nice.”
Frederick nodded his forehead against mine. “They can be a lot.”
“At least they love you and are willing to show it. Just think, if they didn’t care, they wouldn’t want you around.”
Frederick nodded again. We stood there for a few minutes before my stomach announced to us that it was past time for lunch.
Chapter 17
Frederick
Inever thought about how much meeting my One would impact me, but here I was. It was a random Wednesday morning, and I had about an hour before I needed to be at work. Dominic was still mostly sleeping, from what I could tell, and although I should be getting up I couldn’t bring myself to pull from his embrace.
“You seem conflicted this morning,” he said sleepily.
I grinned into the dark room. He couldn’t see me smiling at him, but he could certainly sense my mood shifts.
“I’m thinking about how different my life is from just a few months ago.” I ran my fingers up his naked back, and then down. As I moved down, Dominic pressed his hips in toward me more. He had the smallest little bump, but it didn’t keep his hard cock from pressing into my thigh. My smile grew. I would never say no to him, and there was certainly time to take care of him this morning.
I slid my hand down a little more to where I could grab his ass. Dominic moaned, his cock pressed harder into my thigh, and I suddenly felt his lips on my shoulder where he had been snuggling into my side. “Do you have time?” Dominic asked. “Even for a quickie?”
I chuckled. “I have time. What did you have in mind?” We had time for everything if he wanted to go that far, but I was up for simply taking care of him if that’s what he desired.
“Hmm, so tempting.” I found myself pushed completely to my back. Dominic moved to where he was hovering over me, and I was curious to know what exactly he intended.
“How much time to we have?”
I looked to the alarm clock on the bedside table. “We have fifty-six minutes before I’m due at work for a meeting. One round, maybe two if they’re on the quicker side.” I knew I could make Dominic come in minutes. Which meant he could certainly come more than once. But my sexy Italian loved foreplay, and lots of it.
