“Something you want to savour.” He placed a kiss on his index finger.
“Something to make your tongue tingle.” He continued to kiss his fingers one by one.
“So you want more.” He kissed the last but one finger, then sucked his pinkie into his mouth, swirling his tongue around the digit.
“Something you can’t possibly get enough of,” he said as he removed the finger.
Dom gazed at him dreamily. “I think you should kiss me again.” He moved towards him, his eyes full of promise and heat.
So that’s what he did. He lay back on the sofa, bringing Dom on top of him, and they kissed as if they each were the oxygen the other needed to breathe. They carried on biting and licking until a shrill sound shocked them so much Dom fell off the sofa.
“Ah, fuck. What the hell was that?” Dom asked, looking up from the floor, rubbing his side.
“Shit. I’m late picking Abby up. You and your wicked kisses, Dom.” He kissed him again for good measure but jumped up, lifting Dom as he stood.
“We’ll need to pick her up first, then I can drop you home.” Jacob would have loved for him to stay the night, but he had loads to do to get ready for the trip tomorrow.
“Let’s go, lover boy.” Dom smacked his arse. “Don’t want to keep Abby waiting, and I should get back to Jordan anyway. Next time, though, sweetcheeks.”
Jacob couldn’t wait until next time and was ecstatic that there was going to be one.
He navigated his way across town to Abby’s friend’s house and laughed at the look on her face when she saw Dom sitting in the front seat.
“Hi, Dom. How was it? He’s a great cook, isn’t he? Did you save me any, and did you eat all the strawberries?” Jacob snorted. All she thought about was food.
“Didn’t they feed you tonight?” he asked.
“Well, yes, but I’m still hungry. Is there any food in the car?”
Dom started to giggle. “Do you ever stop talking or eating, Abby?”
Jacob turned to look at him briefly as he drove. “No and no. She’s always eatingandalways talking.”
Abby sat back in the seat. “I can’t help it if I’m hungry all the time. We only had pizza, then some popcorn and drinks at the movie.”
“Well, you’ll need to wait until you're home. I’m not stopping for anything now.”
By this time, Jacob was pulling up outside Dom’s apartment, but he was sad to say goodbye. He wasn’t sure when he’d see Dom again outside of Abby’s lessons. He hoped it would be soon.
“So, here we are,” he said, looking over to him.
Abby coughed, and he glanced at her in the rear-view mirror as she raised her eyebrows at him.
“I’ll walk you to the door.” He followed Dom up the path, right to the entrance of the apartment block. In his heels, Dom was closer to his height, but Jacob still had to bend a little to kiss him. Conscious that Abby was sitting in the car, he kept the kiss gentle and soft. They sighed against each other’s lips.
He rested his forehead against Dom’s. “I wish we could have had longer tonight. I don’t want to rush or push you, but I think we have something here.” He dropped a quick kiss to his hair, wrapping his arms tightly around him, bringing him into his chest. “I’ll miss you this weekend. I know that might seem needy or whatever you want to call it, but I will.”
Dom looked up at him; a small smile played on his lips.
“I’ll miss you too, you know. I look forward to the time we spend together and tonight was beautiful. It was romantic, special, and as much as I love sex with you, it was nice to talk and relax together, just us.”
Jacob thought Dom looked a little hesitant, though, so he was quick to reassure him. He ran his hand through Dom’s hair.
“I loved it too. Spending time with you is quickly becoming my favourite pastime. I didn’t want to tell you that yet. I don’t want to scare you away, Dom. I lost you once before. I don’t want to have to go through that again.” He hoped he sounded sincere, that he was able to put his feelings into words.
“I don’t want to want you as much as I do.” Dom looked away, refusing to meet his eyes. “I swore to myself when I met you again that I wouldn’t get involved. I wouldn’t put my heart on the line again. It wrecked me when you went away, Jacob. I was a mess for months.
“But somehow, with your words, your kisses and the way you are, you’ve made me see that this, this thing between us, is real. That I do want you, Jacob Greyson. In any way you can give me.”
