“She really would,” he says softly, and then retires to his room without another word.
 
 I wish I could be a fly on the wall for his conversation with Olivia.
 
 It’stwo days before I can talk to Olivia.
 
 She went home with Damien, practically moving in to take care of him, but now she’s finally back at her place.
 
 I don’t bother to shoot her a text before heading over, thinking I may lose my nerve.
 
 She opens the door in one of my old t-shirts and nothing else, her hair piled in a messy bun on top of her head. She looks amazing in my eyes.
 
 “Dom? I didn’t know you were coming over.” She smiles at me, though, so I can tell she’s not annoyed.
 
 “Needed to see you.”
 
 “Are you drunk?”
 
 I shake my head. “Stone cold sober.”
 
 I’d been hungover enough to swear off booze after hanging out with Sebastian, but I don’t say that.
 
 This isn’t about Sebastian. This is about me and Olivia.
 
 “I love you,” I burst out, and Olivia blinks at me.
 
 “Dominic—”
 
 “Liv, I love you. I’m so in love with you I can’t see straight. I want us to get back together.”
 
 She bites her lip. “But, Dom... everything’s so complicated...”
 
 “I don’t care. I just want you. I’ll do anything, Liv. Anything you want. You want me to buy a house? You got it.”
 
 She giggles wildly, her face conflicted. “You’d buy a house for me?”
 
 “I’d do anything for you, Olivia.”
 
 “What about Damien? And Sebastian? And the baby...”
 
 I clap a hand over her mouth, and she makes a muffled noise of protest.
 
 I look down into her eyes.
 
 “I don’t care about them right now. All I care about is meand you. This is just our time, right now. You’re mine right now.”
 
 “Oh.”
 
 Arousal burns on her face.
 
 “Say it,” I demand. “Say you’re mine.”
 
 She looks up at me almost innocently. Little minx.
 
 “I'm yours. I’m yours, Dominic. I always have been.”
 
 I scoop her up in my arms bridal style, and she squeals. I take her immediately to the bedroom, slowly taking off her clothes.
 
 “You’re such a tease.” She whines as I kiss down her calf, drawing off her panties.
