I wrapped my arms around his neck and almost whispered, “I don’t know if I deserve to be this happy.”

Dom offered me a half-smile, then rolled us so that I was on top. “Those thoughts in your head are lying to you. We’re allowed to feel like this.”

I smiled and bit my lip. “God, you’re cute.”

Dominic smirked. “Cute enough to fuck?”

I shrugged and gave him a bored look. “You’ll do.”

“Oh, I’ll do, will I?” He laughed and flipped me back over.

I nodded and pulled him to me, taking his lips in a passionate kiss. “You’re the only one who’ll do.” I pushed against his rock-hard chest. I wasn’t strong enough to move him even an inch, but he gave way to me and leaned back against my pillows. His dark eyes watched me, and he bit his lip and groaned when my mouth neared his erect shaft.

I slowly circled his tip with my tongue.

“Look at me, Ava. Let me see those gorgeous blue eyes.” Raw need clawed at the seams of his low, measured voice. I wanted it to burst out. I wanted us to drown in our need for each other.

Our eyes locked, and I took his full length into my mouth. Dom closed his eyes and let out a slow, deep breath.

I slid my mouth up and down his dick a few times before pulling back and saying, “Open your eyes, lover boy. I want you to look at me when you come.”

Dominic laughed and let his eyes drift open again. I went back to work on his cock with my mouth and hands. Giving head was one of my talents that I was sure of, so I carried on confidently until Dom’s breathing was heavy and his hands gripped my ponytail. “Wait. I want to come inside you.”

He didn’t have to ask twice. I wanted him to come inside of me, too. I straddled him, letting his cock push deep inside. Leaning forward, I took his earlobe between my teeth and whispered, “Eyes open. I want to watch you fall in love with me.”

Dom gripped my hips. “More in love, you mean.”

“More in love.” I rocked against him until we were both out of breath and moaning. When I felt him spill inside of me, we locked gazes. His eyes were intense and focused right on me. They told me without words that he’d never let me get lost, that I could be myself, that this was real. “I love you,” I whispered again and collapsed against him.

He hugged me against his body and pressed his lips to my neck. “I love you, too.” Dominic rolled to his side, keeping me in his arms. He ran one hand gently through my hair and smiled. “Who would have thought I’d fall in love with you when this all started? This sexy little fairy that I could hardly stand turned out to be everything I didn’t know I needed.” He kissed my nose and then resumed stroking my hair.

I rested my forehead against his chest and sighed. “I think I knew I’d fall in love with you after our first photoshoot. I didn’t think I deserved you, and I never thought you’d choose me. I’m not used to being chosen, at least not when it counts.”

“Well, better get used to it.” Dominic gave me a perfect, gentle kiss and then leaned back on my pillows. “Now, if you don’t mind, I’ve been up for nearly thirty-six hours and am in desperate need of some sleep. I’d love to pass out right here in your posh bed and wake up to find you still naked and ready for round two.”

I laughed and nodded. “Okay, lover boy.” I tugged my comforter up around his shoulders and switched to a British accent. “You look positively knackered.”

Dom laughed and swatted at me, already half asleep. He wasn’t too tired to turn on his American accent. “Whatevs, girl.”

“Hey, Dom?”

“Yes?”

“Will you love me even when I’m bossy and grumpy? Will you stay even if I’m having a bad day? Will you—”

“Shh.” Dom pressed a finger to my lips. “Yes, love, to all of it.” Then he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

I blinked back my tears, leaned down to kiss his forehead, then slipped out of my bedroom to let him sleep. I headed down the stairs, pulling on my black silk robe, and curled up on my white leather sectional. The past few days were filled with a whirlwind of regret and second-guessing myself. I’d almost called Jeanie several times to apologize and say I didn’t mean it. I couldn’t just quit being Ava Mills Official. I was in too deep. It was too scary to let it all fall.

But I wasn’t alone. My parents believed in me and were proud of me. Sienna had my back, and Dom had my heart in his perfect gentle hands. Things weren’t so scary with them by my side. I would figure it all out.
