I nestled into the warmth of Dominic’s chest—still damp from the shower we had taken moments earlier. He took me again with slow measured thrusts against the cold tiled walls. Every caress felt lazy as his hands groped my skin drunkenly. Dominic’s attention heightened as I brought the bar of soap against his chest. The muscles were smooth beneath wisps of hair that shook beneath the rivulets of water running across his muscled body. His eyes were hooded, neck tense with restraint as I dropped to my knees and cherished his body with every stroke of my soap-laden hands.

I laid in bed running my hand absently across his scar, feeling assured by the solid heartbeat that thumped beneath my hands. The house was silent in those few moments where the only thing that seemed to exist were the two of us, breathing our reunion with every rise and fall of our chests. Dominic hadn’t said much since he walked through the door, but the house felt heavy with his presence as if all of the problems we sought to escape when we left New York had hitched a ride with him and were lying in wait to cause devastation with a single word uttered from his lips.

“Jackson said you were able to see a bit of Catanzaro yesterday. What did you think?”

Now that my body was sated, my mind was in overdrive with a feeling I wasn’t even sure was justified. How could I tell him that the last thing I wanted to talk about was what the fuck I did yesterday? There were so many other things, important things that threatened us. Dominic had been on edge lately, which could have been due to the stress that the media had put on our lives, but it felt like something else. Even on the first day the news went viral, he was attentive, concerned, pissed, but never secretive. Maybe the distance that I felt was a defense mechanism of his.

When I looked into those blackened eyes looking so unaware, how could I bring myself to tell him that something was happening—a crack in the foundation with the potential to transform into a canyon? I pushed back the feeling that I was unraveling and answered his question.

“Yes. Jessa and I were able to tour a bit of the city. It’s really beautiful here. Have you been before?”

“No, not here specifically, though I have been to Italy.”

“How long do you think we’ll be here?”

I knew he felt me shift within his arms. My whole body was aligned with his, so the slightest movement would have been announced, but I needed to see his face. I didn’t know what his expression would convey. Dominic was always good at concealing his every emotion, so I shouldn’t have expected much of anything. With my hand still pressed against his chest, I leaned over, meeting his eyes while he answered me.

“We won’t be here any longer than we need to be, Hailey. Were you expecting a different answer? I told you before you left that I wasn’t sure of the duration.
