Page 89 of The Scandal You Started
He let out a discontented sigh. “Must I?”
“Yes,” Ash answered.
Dominic slapped the cotton wool he’d been pressing to his elbow against the table. “It is utterly repulsive that you want me to—toexcretein a bottle.” He snatched the tube from Ash as he stood. “And to announce it in front of two women on top of that…”
He grumbled something under his breath as he headed for the exit.
“You have to give a poo sample after this,” Kelly said with a shrug.
Dominic’s head snapped so fast in her direction, he almost threw himself off balance. “A what?”
A loud laugh burst from Rayna, and Kelly cackled maniacally, collapsing against River’s side as her fiancé tried so hard to tame his laughter.
“Kelly,” River scolded light-heartedly.
“What?” she snickered. “I’m just giving him a heads-up—”
“No,” Dominic immediately bit out at Ash, who grinned over his shoulder. “No, I refuse. I will not. You cannot make me. I do not care what you say or do. That is vile, and I will not—”
“Relax,” Rayna said, laughter fluttering through her words. “You don’t. She’s just messing with you.”
A slow rise of colour drifted up Dominic’s neck and face as his clenched jaw shifted back and forth for several quiet seconds. He jabbed a finger towards Kelly. “I want this villainess gone before I return.”
Then he stomped out the archway, leaving them all in a fit of laughter.
Of course, Kelly didn’t leave with River in the time it took Dominic to pee in the bottle. Nor did they after he walked back in, red-faced and disgusted, with a tissue-wrapped bundle pinched between his finger and thumb that he handed to Ash. Instead, Rayna ordered food from their favourite noodle bar, and the five of them had dinner together.
Throughout it all, Dominic stayed fastened to her side like Velcro that had been dipped in superglue. No matter where she sat or went, he was there. Next to her, behind her, plodding over like he knew no one else in the room, shuffling his chair so closeand then plastering his thigh right against hers with a burn of yearning darkening his golden irises.
Rayna glared at him a few times in warning. But she’d be lying if she said the pathetic way he looked at her, every brush of his leg or hands, his bloody damn proximity didn’t zap static right down to her clit, making her pulse and puddle in impatient excitement for the moment she had him alone.
By the time she and Dominic were waving Ash, River, and Kelly to their cars, the crackle of need coursing through her had turned her into a thrumming vessel of lust.
Rayna’s heart pounded as she closed the front door on the crunch of gravel, placing her and Dominic in a scorching silence. High-voltage tension travelled down the taut string that tethered them together. She didn’t need to look at him to feel it, but oh, sheneededto look at him.
She rotated and throbbed sharply enough to steal her breath when she found him looming like a big predator less than a step away.
Fuck.
He held her under his heavy, glazed stare. She gazed back, her tongue swelling and clit rhythmically pulsing his name.
“They left,” Dominic muttered, his deep voice abrading through her belly.
The obvious observation made her mouth curl. “They have.” She angled her face under his as she rested her upper back against the door. “So?”
He swayed with her, pressing a forearm by her head. He brushed the back of his other fingers, feather-light, along her jaw. “We are alone.”
“We are,” she echoed and tracked her hands up over his broad chest. His skin was hot under his T-shirt, the thud of his heart vibrating through her bones. “Now what?”
He slipped lower and teased a finger over the shell of her ear, sparking all her nerve endings down to her toes. “You promised me something this morning.”
“Did I?”
“Yes.” He snaked an arm around the curve of her back, pulling her away from the door and into him. “And I must admit, after all I have endured today, all those hours without you and that damned checkup, my patience is beginning to wear very thin.”
He said that, but they were both touching and talking like they were in no rush. Yet it was still flaming the sexual tension between them hotter, pouring gasoline around their feet while they both held on to a lit match, only delaying dropping it to build up the anticipation further.
Rayna pushed off her heels and arched closer, pressing the bulge of his hardening cock deeper into her stomach. Dominic gave a delicious little flinch and delight skated down her spine.
