Page 157 of Love Among the Ruins
You only fuck Americans?
You are trying hard to be someone you’re not.
He will use you and throw you away like toilet paper.
Her eyes prickled with tears, and she blinked quickly, hoping to stem them.
“Eleni.” Dominic’s face softened, but his eyes filled with hurt. “Do you regret this?” He started to move away, but she put a hand to his shoulder, stopping him. Gave a slight shake of her head. “No.”
“Then why the sad face?” He traced a finger under her lashes, soaking up the tears which were welling up.
She wasn’t going to ruin this moment with the truth. “I’m happy. I’m feeling emotional. I’ve never come like that before.”
He peered closer, as if he was fishing for the truth. “If there’s something else, you’d tell me, right?”
She nodded.
“Do you want me to sleep in my own bed?”
“I want you to stay with me tonight,” she whispered, sliding a hand around his neck, gently nudging his face to hers. She cupped his chin, noting that he was still on his side, trying to move his growing hard on away from her each time it touched her. “I want you to make love to me again, Dominic.”
Surprise shot through those flecks of gold, and he lifted himself back on top of her again, positioning himself between her legs.
You are trying hard to be someone you’re not.
He will use you and throw you away like toilet paper.
It wasn’t true. Not the way Dominic was looking at her. His gaze so tender, every touch so sublime. “Tell me again,” he begged, as she reached for his hand and kissed it.
“Tell you what?” His magic fingers were on her clit again, her brain was turning to mush.
“Tell me you want me, Eleni. Say it’s me.”
She didn’t understand. “Of course it’s you. I want you, Dominic.”
He entered her slowly, their eyes locked on each other. Clumsy kisses fell from tired mouths that didn’t lock tightly this time, soft mewls falling from their lips. They were breathing in one another’s air, as he slid all the way inside her slick pussy, before pistoning back and forth, slow, slow, slowly. It was a deliciously long and gradual build to the precipice from which they would fall together.
