Chapter 31 #5
I never wanted the day to end. I wanted to just keep walking hand in hand with this man. Every time our eyes met, he placed a kiss on my nose. And every time he did that, I fell a little more in love with him.
We basically slept on our way back to the city. When we were back in the helicopter, Dominic held my hand and pressed a kiss on my fingers. “I have one more surprise for you, baby.”
“Absolutely not, Dominic. This was already too much. I can’t handle any more surprises.”
He ran his hand through his hair and shook his head. “This is the last one.”
I shook my head and looked outside the window as we started to lower down on the helipad of a building that wasn’t Dominic’s house.
I quickly turned to look at him. “Where the hell are we landing? You don’t live here.”
“Patience, Maira.”
“Dominic, I swear to God…”
He simply winked at me and looked ahead. We had just landed on the tallest building in Manhattan. Once we were out of the helicopter, Dominic clutched my hand and pulled me to the elevator.
He pressed the button to the 130th floor. This was a 135-story residential building, according to the latest news around the city, which reported that it was the up-and-coming tallest residential building in Manhattan, overlooking Central Park.
The moment the elevator door dinged open, we stepped into a massive open space. I turned to Dominic, my eyes full of unspoken questions and bubbling anticipation and anxiety.
He gave me a bashful smile and rubbed the back of his neck. He actually looked nervous, and that ended up making me nervous. “You’re scaring me, Dominic. What is all this?”
He released a breath. “Alright. Uh, so I wanted to gift you and the Wildcats a more secure and spacious headquarters. I don’t mean to imply that Thunder Claw isn’t already a great place, and you all haven’t made it secure.
It’s perfect as it is. But I wanted you all to have the kind of access and facilities that would help you take down even bigger criminals. ”
I looked around the massive open space.
Dominic stood beside me and kept talking.
“Uh. I’ve bought out the top ten floors of this building.
They’re all yours. You can convert it to holding cells, workout areas, your den, an armory, tech space, rooms for women in need, anything.
The top floors have separate elevator access.
You get a private helipad and, of course, a helicopter.
The building features a top-notch security system.
The glass of the facade is bulletproof. The possibility of somebody attacking your place of work would be minimal, if not zero.
I was also hoping that you would convert a few floors into private apartments so you could all live here.
Together. Safely. Of course, you can choose to live in your own homes. It’s just a thought.”
My heart was beating out of my chest as I looked around at the bright city lights from the glass facade.
A million possibilities ran through my mind.
We’d all be able to live closer together.
We’d all be safe. Tara wouldn’t have to stay in the basement all the time while she hacked and tracked perpetrators.
Sloane could have an entire floor of undercover costumes and weapons.
Naomi could turn a floor into her own hospital.
Lena and her son would have a safe space to live.
Given the work we did and the consequences she already suffered, she worried about her son.
But how could I accept so much from Dominic? This wasn’t his fifty-million-dollar payment, which also felt too fucking much as it was.
My silence must’ve worried Dominic because he came to stand in front of me and held my cheeks.
“Baby, say something. I know you worry that being with me would mean that you’d be putting the Wildcats at risk.
Or that you’d have to sacrifice your work, your passion, the very thing that makes you you .
But Samaira, I want to be a part of the Wildcats.
Not as a fighter, of course. I’d be shit at that, as you know.
But let me contribute the best way I know how.
As proud as I am of all that you’ve accomplished, as much as I want you to go out there and kick some ass, I also want to care for you and your friends.
You all deserve the best headquarters, the best weapons, the best technology, and the best location so you can give your best to the world.
There is nothing that I wouldn’t give you women to make you happy and safe. ”
“It’s too much, Dominic.” My voice was a whisper.
He pressed his forehead against mine. “It’s not enough, Samaira.
You and your friends put your lives at risk.
You fight for a better world. You fight for women’s safety and justice.
There is no one else who deserves this more.
I have money. That’s all I have and all I can offer.
Allow me to do my part in helping you soar. We would be stronger together.”
I couldn’t resist a moment longer. I jumped on him, and he immediately caught me in his arms before pulling me in for a heated kiss.
I tasted my tears on his tongue, I felt his pounding heart beating against mine, and I knew I would never let him go.
I knew I loved him. Not because he was being foolishly extravagant but because he wanted to join me.
He wanted to be a part of my life, not the other way around.
He wasn’t expecting me to change. He was aware of every threat imaginable, and instead of wanting me to stop, he was providing me with the ammunition to go bigger.
I held both of his cheeks as he lifted me in his arms and looked at the prettiest fucking face in the world.
I looked into his eyes, and I wanted to lay my heart at his feet.
Because I knew in the marrow of my bones that he would never ever stomp on it.
He would hold it in the palm of his hands and cherish it. “You love me?”
He gently put me on my feet and held my waist. “Always and forever.”
My voice broke when I clutched his shirt. “Good. That’s good. Because I’ve fallen so deeply in love with you that you’ll never be able to get rid of me. I’m gonna love you so hard…”
My words were swallowed by his lips as a deep moan rumbled out of his chest. He crushed me in his arms and lifted me off my feet as he continued to steal my breath.
He held me by the back of my neck in the most possessive grip and stared at me with the most beautiful dimple-popping smile on his face. “Say it again.”
My heart burst with happiness. “I love you, Dominic Park. I’m in love with you, and I’m never letting you go. And if someone dares to take you from me, I’ll tear them to pieces.”
He growled. “That’s my fucking tigress.”
He pulled me into another kiss, pushing me against the wall. With a quick grunt, he lifted me off my feet, and I wrapped my legs around his waist, never once pulling off his lips. My brand-new dress that Dominic got me just this morning pooled at my waist as Dom quickly undid his belt.
“I’m so glad you never packed any underwear, baby.” I moaned in his mouth as he pushed inside me in a single, powerful thrust with a grunt.
My pussy was dripping down my thighs as he plunged into me like a man possessed.
He moved his mouth lower and sucked at the junction of my neck and shoulder, nipping and biting at the exposed skin, pushing me against the wall harder and harder with each powerful thrust that pushed me toward the peak.
I clutched at his hair and moved over him, squeezing tightly around his cock.
He pulled my dress down, exposing my breasts. He sucked my nipples hard, making my back arch and pulling a whimper out of me. I grabbed the back of his head and pulled him into me harder.
“Say it again,” he growled.
I let out a broken moan and clutched him to me. “I love you, Dominic. ”
A growl escaped his chest, and he moaned so loudly that it echoed off the empty walls around us as he lost all control.
He pounded into me, hitting that spot inside me that had my orgasm barreling down my spine, and my mind and body shattered into a million white lights as my toes curled and my back arched.
Pleasure unlike anything pulsed through every neuron in my body as my pussy contracted around his cock.
Dominic shook around me, his hand clutching me to him, and I felt his cock jerk inside me as he kept thrusting, my name a chant on his lips.
Something deep within my heart settled. It was as if Dominic had locked himself inside my heart, filling that aching hole that always persisted painfully.
Now, I felt achingly, happily full. Warmth bloomed in my chest as Dominic twitched inside me, refusing to pull out of me. “You going to stay there all day?”
He nodded into my neck. “As long as I can. Leave me alone.”
I clutched him in my arms and shook my head. “Literally just promised you that I’m never leaving you alone again.”
His warm breath kissed my neck as he sighed. “Sounds perfect to me.”
“Ugh. You’re so cheesy.”
“Fuck you.”
“Hmm. That’s better.”
He bit my neck, and I laughed. “I’m leaving you.”
He scoffed. “No, you’re not. You love me too much.”
“Doubtful.”
He spanked my butt cheek. Hard. “Tell me you love me.” And I couldn’t help it. My pussy clenched as a wave of arousal rushed through me.
I kept my lips sealed shut, and a devious smile came over his face as he twitched inside me. “Say it, Maira.”
I bit his lip. “Make me.”
He slammed his mouth over me as he started to move inside me again. He bit my jaw and grunted in my ear. “Gonna fill you up with another one of my loads.”
I only dug my heels deeper into his ass, pulling him into me deeper, as he did exactly that and had me screaming my love for him all over again.
