I didn't come out until I heard the door close. With Summer asleep I decided to cook us dinner. From what Summer had told me, Domenic doesn't have a cook here or a maid. He takes care of everything by himself. This is probably why the fridge was empty, the drawer filled with take-out menus. Ohh yeah and the burned toast. With no other choice, I ordered some groceries and made the dinner by the time Summer woke up. I helped her to the living room. "Eating tomato soup on this white couch doesn't seem like a good idea Summer." I say as I give her the plater. "I just feel comfortable here, how about we put on a movie or something?" "Sure, just don't spill it because I'll be sleeping on it tonight." I say as I get the TV remote. "What movie?" I asked as I sat down next to her. "Whatever, just not horror." Noted. We settled down on a romance movie and ate our dinner, when I was finished I got up to take the plates. "You didn't eat much soup, you didn't like it.?" I asked as I saw he

The hot, dark and handsome man was replaced with a furious-looking Domenic Davis Jones. He came by my side, took my hand and then proceeded to drag me across the club, up the stairs until we came behind closed doors leaving the noise behind us. He almost banged my back against the door when he swung me to cage me with his hands. His fist met the wall next to my head as he growled "Mine.". I wasn't drunk, tipsy at most but I clearly saw how his eyes darkened with desire. "Don't you ever again let another man touch you Autumn, I swear you don't know what I'm capable of when someone touches what's mine." The air in my lungs caught fire. I had to take a few seconds to gather my thoughts, not wanting to do something stupid in an impulse. "Domenic I don't want to have this conversation again. I'm not yours." I say as I push on his chest trying to make some space between us. "Cut the bulls*it, Autumn, you are mine as much as I am yours." Domenic said fiuresly. "Well, that settles it be

Today I was determined not to think about him. I stayed in the cafe and buried myself in work so I wouldn't have time to think about anything else. I wasn't gonna see Summer today, so the possibilities of running into him were low. Or so I thought. As I was restocking the bar area a package was delivered to me. I immediately knew from who it was. I took the box upstair to my apartment and set in on my coffee table. I think I stared at that box for a good half an hour before finally opening it. It was a musical snow globe. Snow globes used to be one of my favorite things I had since I was a child, mom used to get me these for Christmas. This one had inside of it a small wooden house surrounded by trees. The windows were painted to look as if light were coming from inside. When Domenic and I were together, back in school. We talked about what would be the perfect place to go on a vacation after graduation. He insisted it would have to be small and private, like a cabin in the woods

It's getting harder and harder to escape him, I'm scared I'm going give in to the temptation. The attraction is growing and he is doing everything he can to always be on my mind. The gifts, the flowers, telling me his desires. I'm embarrassed every time a package comes because I always fear they read the card he writes. Like the one today, "I can't wait to lick this off of you." On a fricking box of my favorite strawberry chocolate. "Are you gonna eat that?" Anthony asked and I dropped the box on the bar. "My God you scared me. What are you doing here?" I asked surprised. "I was in the neighborhood so I decided to stop by, I have the menu for your birthday dinner ready." My birthday is tomorrow. "Summer insisted she would bring the cake, so she has that covered." His light green eyes shoot up as I mention her. "Speaking of Summer, is she dating anyone?" "I knew it, from the second you laid your eyes on her I knew you liked her." Anthony smiles as he leans over the bar. "That's bec

If you still feel like it you can join us for dinner, you have the address. Press sent. "A bit dry don't you think?" Summer commented as she looked at my phone. "Don't you know it's rude to read other people's messages?" I say as I press the phone to my chest. Which reminds me I haven't texted Leo the address. As I type on my phone again Summer leans over. "Who is Leo?" I smiled as I turned to her. "Leo is an old friend of mine, he just came back to the city. I ran into him today." I explain as I tose my phone aside. "He sent you a lot of eggplant emojis?" Nothing escapes her. "I'll be honest with you because I know you won't judge. Leo is my friend with benefits." Summer raises her eyebrows in surprise. "You guys have s*x?" Straight to the point as always. "Well yes, but without the sentimental complications. We are both free to do what we want."Summer looked as if she were doing hard math in her head. "And you thought it would be a good idea to invite him and my brother.?"
