Chapter 20

Not once did I wake up through the night. Not once did I wonder whose strong arms were holding me. Not once did I worry.

Dominic stayed glued to me the entire night. I may not have woken, but I could feel the heat emanating from him as I lay securely in his arms.

From time to time I felt a small brush of damp lips from a carefully placed kiss to my cheek or the back of neck, just where the hair line meets the skin.

My eyelids flutter open as the warm rays of the sun touches my face.

I wiggle back a little and mold myself to the body of the perfect man softly snoring behind me. The moment my body becomes flush with his, he tightens his grip around my waist and splays his hand across my belly.

“Good morning, sweetheart,” he murmurs in my ear. The warmth of his breath hits my already sensitive skin and it sends a welcome shiver down my back.

“Morning,” I reply as I close my eyes and enjoy Dominic’s all-encompassing presence.

“I love waking up with you in my arms. I could easily get used to this, Allyn.” He presses a small kiss to my neck. “Mmm, so very easily.” He moves the strap of my pajama top to the side and kisses my shoulder with gentle lips.

“I think I’d like that too.” I tilt my head to the side and move my arm back to rest on his hip. Dominic is obviously aroused; I can feel his erection pressing into me. He doesn’t move his hips or thrust into me to tell me he wants me, but I can feel his desire.

And soon I hope I’ll be able to give him what he needs, find the loving part of me that they abused and destroyed and reclaim it.

But for now, I trust that Dominic won’t push me into anything I’m not ready for.

His hand moves to the top of my thigh and he slowly runs it from my hip to my knee.

A small groan rumbles through his chest as he kisses down my back with the softest of touches.

The sound of that groan rips through me and I find myself becoming more aroused with every sound that resonates from deep within him.

Suddenly, what they did to me intrudes so forcefully into my mind that anything I was feeling is instantly drowned in a bucket of ice-cold water.

“No more,” I say to Dominic.

He removes his hands and moves back so his body isn’t touching mine at all. “Are you alright, Allyn?”

I shake my head and curl further into myself.

“Please, don’t do that, sweetheart. Talk to me; tell me what happened. Did I push you too far?” he asks as he lays one hand on my arm.

“No it wasn’t you, Dominic. It was memories of them. I’m just not ready for us to take that next step.” How stupid am I? The most perfect man in the world lays his soul at my feet and I can’t reciprocate in the way he deserves.
