“Um, okay, I believe you. Weapon of mass destruction it is.” Luca fidgeted with the flower in his hand, looking ready to bolt.

“Stay there and hold up the stem. Higher. Good, now don’t move or this will hurt.”

“You’re not gonna hit me with it, are you?”

“Luca. Shut up.” Dom lifted the whip, snapping it by his side with a crack that made Luca jump. Then he circled it over his head, focusing on his target, and snapped the whip forward—slicing the head of the flower clean off.

Luca’s mouth fell open as he looked between the stem in his hand and back at Dom. “Holy shit. That was amazing.”

Dom cracked the whip back to his side. “Still think this won’t do damage?”

“Uh, I’m convinced. No need to do it again.”

“Oh? But that was just the warmup act.”

Luca visibly paled. “If you pull out a match, I’m going to go and jump in the lake.”

“No matches necessary. This time, you’re the prop.”

Before Luca could utter another word, Dom used a side-arm flick and wrapped Luca around the waist with the whip. It wasn’t a move that would hurt him, but the crack made him gasp and drop the stem he held.

Dom’s lip curled as he pulled on the whip, bringing Luca forward into the room, then he grabbed the back of his neck and crushed their mouths together.

CHAPTERTWENTY-TWO

LUCA FELL INTO Dom’s kiss, all the pent-up energy from the day pouring out in a tongue-tangling meeting of their mouths.

A soft moan left Luca’s throat as he laid his hands on Dom’s bare chest, still damp from the shower. The whip Dom had flicked around his waist began to slowly fall down his hips, and Luca had to admit that had been one of the sexiest moves he’d ever seen. No doubt Dom was dangerous with that particular weapon, but using it for pleasure was something he could get behind.

Dom slid his hand down to Luca’s neck and tightened his grip, holding him in place. His mouth on Luca’s was unrelenting, exploring every inch, and Luca was only too willing to let him.

God, how was it this man had the ability to obliterate all of his senses? He used to be smarter than this. Letting in someone like Dom was dangerous, but it seemed Luca had thrown caution to the wind a long time ago. He couldn’t help the attraction he felt for the man he should hate, and it had everything to do with the way he’d begun to open up to him, little by little. Especially today.

Feeling bold, Luca sucked Dom’s lower lip into his mouth before nipping at it with his teeth. It seemed to be the right move, because Dom’s cock grew harder against him.

“Mmm. Someone wants to play,” Dom said, his voice dropping an octave. He forced Luca’s head up, and the untamed desire in those dark eyes made Luca’s heart beat faster.

Luca slid his hands down Dom’s chest and over his toned abs. “Or maybe I just want to fuck.”

He ripped the towel away, dropping it to the floor and leaving Dom completely naked and exposed in front of him.

Holy hell.

It might’ve been a mistake to uncover him, because the body on full display was fucking perfect. Every part of Dom was pure muscle, the strength he held in his body undeniable. Even the faint scars that marked his skin somehow added to the overall appeal, and again it sparked in Luca’s mind that he was dangerous.

Dangerous to those who found themselves on the wrong side of the line, but a protective vigilante to those he cared about.

And that list included Luca now…didn’t it?

“Jesus,” he said, still taking in the breathtaking picture before him. But Dom clearly wasn’t in the mood for looking without touching. He tossed the whip off to the side then grabbed the waist of Luca’s pants, jerking him forward.

“My turn,” he said.

Luca braced himself for things to get rough, for Dom to rip his shirt open and send the buttons flying everywhere.

But that wasn’t what happened.

Dom moved his hands to the top button of Luca’s shirt and slowly began to unfasten them.
