It just sounded soft and unsure.

I pushed my hands against his chest and tried to shove him off. He didn’t budge.

He wrapped his arm around the small of my back and pulled me back to him.

“Don’t ask questions that are none of your concern,” he said, right before he slammed his lips against mine, swallowing my gasp.

Fuck.

He pushed against me, moving his lips over mine in a brutal kiss that had me seeing stars. The hands I had splayed on his chest were no longer pushing him away. No, now I had them bunched in his shirt.

Would it always be like this?

Would I always be so affected by a simple kiss?

He pushed his tongue between my lips, and I realized there was nothing simple about the way he kissed me.

Not at all.

Not even a little bit.

He pulled away and bit my lip, the sharp sting causing nerve endings to shoot all the way down to my clit.

“Dominic,” I moaned.

“Fuck. It always feels good with you.” He pressed his lips harder against mine, deepening the kiss once more.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, and I kissed him back.

Lord helped me, but I kissed him back as passionately and as frantically as he was kissing me.

It was as he said. It always felt good with him, and I didn’t want this kiss to end.

Then I remembered his compliance comment.

He did this before.

Last night, when I asked him about the investigation. This was his way of getting me to shut up about it.

I shoved him.

I did it three times before he realized I was trying to push him away.

He stepped back, his blue eyes hungry with his arousal. Arousal that I could feel pressed up against me.

I shook my head. “You can’t just use sex to get what you want.”

“Technically, we haven’t had sexyet.”

I narrowed my eyes at the “yet.”

“And we’re not going to,” I said.

He shot me an arrogant smirk, bringing my gaze back to his swollen lips. I didn’t know whether to slap him or kiss him again.

“Wanna bet, wildcat?”

I said nothing to that. The problem was, I didn’t want to bet with him, because I wasn’t sure if by the end of this, I would be strong enough to resist him.
