Dominic, page 4
Letting his nerves settle down, he knocked on the door, and God help him he was not prepared for the angelic sight that greeted him when she opened the door. She took his breath away standing there in here little black dress and her hair in a fancy updo exposing the gentle sweet curve of her neck. His lips ached to kiss the sensitive skin and feel her rapid beating pulse under his lips.
“You look amazing. You take my breath away.” Dom watched as a faint blush crept up Alyssa’s cheeks. Dom handed her the flowers. “ I saw these and thought only you can truly match their rare beauty.”
“They’re beautiful. Thank you, and you look amazing yourself.”
Dom leaned down and kissed Alyssa on the cheek as he handed her the flowers. “I’ll let you put those in some water and then we should head out.”
“Thank you again for the flowers and asking me out tonight. I have been dying to see Hamilton and I love Per Se.”
“Well you are in for a real treat tonight. The chef is a friend and has promised me a unique dining experience.”
Dom opened the door for Alyssa and placed his hand on the small of her back as they walked down the hall. When he touched her he felt a surge of warmth fly up his arm and settle in his chest. He wanted to question how such an innocuous touch could cause such a feeling, but this was Alyssa and nothing surprised him anymore.
Dinner was as amazing as promised and the conversation flowed. Dom had forgotten how funny Alyssa was. Being with her was so comfortable and easy. There was no awkwardness in their conversation and by the end of dinner, he had no problem overcoming his fears and taking her hand in his. She seemed to appreciate and enjoy the gesture as she didn’t let go of his hand the rest of the evening.
By the time the show was over, Dom was ready to drop to one knee and pop the question, but that would be ridiculous. He loved being with this woman, and even though he was on the clock time wise he just didn’t want to rush things. As he walked her to her door, Dom thought of everything he could do to prolong the date, but in the end he knew if he walked inside the door, he wouldn’t be leaving until well after the sun came up.
Dom turned Alyssa towards him and gently cupped her jaw. “I have wanted to do this all night.” He said as his lips descended on hers. It was a gentle kiss at first, but when she stepped closer into his embrace, he returned the feeling by pulling her tighter against his body. His tight squeeze caused her to gasp, parting her sweet lips, then the kiss went from sweet to salacious in no time. Dom had to reign in the kiss or he would break his promise to himself. Pulling back he took in her barely parted eyes, the plump just kissed lips and the deep sigh that Alyssa let out.
Before he did something stupid, Dom looked at her and said, “Good night, Alyssa. I’m going to walk away tonight before I can’t, but in two days you are mine and we will finish this.”
Alyssa shivered at the threat or promise. She wasn’t sure which it was but she knew she wanted to finish what they had started. For the second time in so many days, she stood there trying to wrap her head around what had just happened. Her fingers again involuntarily came to her lips as she watched Dom’s retreating figure. Her sex ached and her panties were wet with desire, but all in all she was happy that he seemed to be as effected as she was. At least if that very prominent bulge in his trousers was any indication.
Chapter Four
Friday morning dawned with a promise of a new day and a new relationship. As Dom laid in bed staring at the ceiling he was still awestruck at how easy his date with Alyssa had been. Maybe it was because they had known each other forever, or maybe they were just meant to be. His mother had always told him that when you are with the right person it should be easy, but to understand there would be tough times as well.
Dom still missed his mother dearly. Even though it had been eight years since her passing, he still wished she was here to give him advice and hug him when times were tough. He smiled, because her hugs always seemed to be magical. They had a way of making everything better. Alyssa’s hugs had the same effect on him, and sent a jolt of electricity south. Dom smiled because he knew in a few hours he would be seeing the woman he couldn’t stop thinking about.
Dom sent the car to pick up Alyssa and Mia before picking him up. He was excited. Three days and a chance to solidify their budding relationship. He instructed his driver to call him when they were ten minutes out. After he got the call, the ten minutes seemed like a lifetime. As he stood outside his building the anticipation continued to grow. Dom watched the car pull up but before he could get the car door open, Alyssa was out of the backseat and throwing herself into his arms. God he could easily get used to this. He inhaled the scent of her hair and enjoyed the smell of lilac tickling his nose. She smelled so good he wanted to devour her right here, but with Mia watching with a smile on her face he knew now was not the time. With a quick kiss, Dom helped Alyssa back into the car. They had a lengthy drive to Teterboro and the private jet.
Mia handed him a glass of champagne. “Thought we should kick this off the right way. I heard someone had a great date the other night. Care to share the details?”
“Thanks, and no. But thanks for asking. Here’s to fun and excitement,” Dom said raising his glass.
He settled into the seat and a feeling of warmth spread through him as Alyssa settled in next to him and cuddled into his side. Dom could definitely get used to this feeling of closeness. He had never been one to want to cuddle with a woman. They served their purpose, and then he sent them on their way. He never took them to his bedroom. He rarely brought a woman back to his place because, in his experience, they started seeing wedding bells and children, but dammit, it was him who was hearing wedding bells and picturing Alyssa’s belly swollen with their child.
Dom was so involved in his head that the ride passed quickly. As they entered the plane, Dom was happy to see that they had set everything up as he’d requested. He had ordered breakfast for them and more champagne. Dom’s plan was to work while they flew so he could dedicate his non-club time to both of them. While he wanted to spend time with Alyssa, he knew that Mia needed his attention as well.
“I hope you enjoy the frittatas and fruit. After we eat, I’m going to work for a while and then you can have my undivided attention when we get there.”
“Thanks for everything, Dom,” they both said in unison.
“You’re welcome.”
Dom ate and enjoyed watching the women eat. They both enjoyed their food and didn’t eat like an anorexic trying to impress him. After eating and settling into his work, Dom couldn’t help but smile as he listened to the girls talk. He loved their exuberance and couldn’t wait to spend time with them. He knew that it would undoubtedly involve shopping and drinking. Dom wanted to carve out a little time for fun and sun. He had already rented a cabana at Caesar’s Palace. Dom got hard thinking about Alyssa in a tiny barely there bikini. They would have a nice cabana with a private pool overlooking the rest of the festivities. However, he would remind them both that the European pool was off limits. He didn’t want some jackass staring and pawing Mia and especially not Alyssa, she belonged to him whether she knew it or not.
The plane landed and the heat blasted the trio as they exited and headed to the waiting car. Dom was glad that he had reserved the cabana and would be able to cool off. He had two suites for them. He had one for himself and one for the girls. Dom hoped that he would not be alone in his suite, but Alyssa had to want to come to him. If the morning was any indication, then she seemed more than ready to be with him.
The bright blue, cloudless sky overhead lent Dom a sense of calmness. A calmness he hadn’t experienced in quite a while. Dom wasn’t sure if it was the peacefulness of the surroundings, the women he was with, or the fact that he finally felt at peace with where his life was heading. Even though he had wanted to put off the inevitable as head of the family for a lot of years, he knew he could embrace the job and make the changes he desired as long as the beautiful angel he was gazing upon was by his side.
Dom always enjoyed coming to Vegas, but lately it had all been about work, and very little play. This time he was hell bent to play a lot more and work less. He knew he could have done most of this work from his NY office, but it was a great excuse to get away from the city and spend some time with his two favorite women. With the continually changing environment, there were always new things to do and see. There was always a new club or even a new hotel and casino, but nothing would be better than seeing the city with someone he loved. Dom shook his head and chuckled. Loved, that was not something he thought he would ever be entitled to much less find with Alyssa.
As Dom looked upon the two women in his life, he was struck with the sudden realization that he was irrevocably in love with Alyssa. While it may not have been the grand love story that every girl dreamed of the slow burn of their relationship had finally given them the opportunity to explore what he’d felt for so long and fought. Because they’d formed a lifelong friendship, he hoped that they would be able to nurture a love that would last a lifetime if Alyssa felt the same way. While Dom had always been protective of Alyssa, it was in that moment, Dom knew that he would willingly lay down his life to protect her.
Dom watched as both women seemed to bounce from side to side in the limo taking in the sights and sounds of the city. Their enthusiasm was infectious and Dom soon found himself standing with them in the open sunroof grinning like a fool.
The limo pulled up to the high rollers entrance at Caesar’s Palace where they were met by the manager of the hotel. Dom appreciated the lengths they went to in order to ensure he was happy. The partnership they had created was profitable for both entities, and he had been allowed to explore his creative side when he designed the multi-story venue.
Exiting the car, Dom watched as the manager rushed towards them with bell captains in tow and a woman bringing them drinks.
“Dom, so good to see you again. I hope your flight was good and the car to your liking.” Salvatore, the hotel manager, said.
“Everything was wonderful. I trust you have all I asked for ready for us here.”
“Yes. I brought your favorite bourbon for you and some champagne for your lovely companions. I just came from the pool and made sure your cabana is set up as you requested. We kept the entire side closed for your party, and Nikki will be taking care of you.”
“Thank you. We’ll get together this afternoon and talk business but only for a short while. I have other plans this weekend.”
“Of course. Of course. Your bags will meet you upstairs. Here are your keys. If you need anything just call.”
“I will.” Dom shook Salvatore’s hand and then escorted Alyssa and Mia to their suites. Dom couldn’t get over how the most innocent of touches like placing his hand on Alyssa’s back sent warmth through his entire body, and Alyssa’s touch ignited a deep burn inside him that only she had the power to quench.
Dom opened the door for the ladies and they both squealed with excitement as they walked around the room and admired the view of the floor to ceiling windows. They had a beautiful unobstructed view of the strip, and he knew at night it would be spectacular. Dom could picture in his mind taking Alyssa from behind as her breasts pressed up against the glass. He could imagine the ecstasy of their love making as they gazed upon the city below them.
“Dom. Dom! You look so lost in your thoughts. Scoot. We need to change and we will meet you downstairs at the pool,” Mia said.
“Don’t dawdle too long.”
Alyssa, surveyed the bikinis she brought with her. She couldn’t make up her mind when Mia walked in and handed her a box.
“I know you and your suits may be a little conservative, so I brought you a, well for lack of better words, a give Dom a hard-on for the rest of the day suit. Don’t overthink. Just put it on with the wrap and watch his mouth fall open when you get to the cabana.”
Alyssa opened the box and her mouth fell open. “Thanks, umm but where is the rest of it?” Alyssa asked as she held up the emerald green scraps of fabric. “I’m not even sure this will cover my nipples and this will definitely not cover this Italian ass of mine.”
Mia laughed. “You have a great ass and if I batted for the other team, you’d be at the top of my list. Now change and go get your man.”
Alyssa changed into the tiny scraps of fabric Mia called a bikini, and admired herself in the mirror. This so totally outside of her comfort zone. With one last look and swipe of her lip gloss, Alyssa pronounced herself ready to either knock Dom on his ass or embarrass herself. What the hell, she thought what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Even with her new found boldness, she was glad they had a private cabana where she didn’t have to worry about other people seeing her in this bikini.
Dom stood on the balcony of the cabana waiting on Alyssa and Mia. He laughed to himself as the people below all stared up trying to figure out who he was and if he was famous or not. Infamous maybe, but never famous. Dom wondered if this is what Caesar felt like as he stood over his masses. As his eyes scanned the European pool, Dom again reminded himself that the girls were not going anywhere near it. The beautiful Garden of the Gods lay sprawling out beneath him, and as much as he wanted to enjoy the view, his eyes were drawn to the only woman in the world that he truly wanted to see in a bikini.. He watched as she walked with a little extra sway in her hips laughing at something Mia said. She was wrapped in a sarong so he couldn’t see what she had on underneath, and his interest was piqued even further.
Alyssa looked up and saw Dom standing their surveying the world beneath him. He truly looked like a sun drenched Italian god with his broad shoulders, carved from marble chest, black hair and piercing blue eyes. Even though the temperature was already pushing a hundred degrees she felt her body heat up even more when his gaze locked onto her. Alyssa blushed as if she could read all the dirty thoughts in Dom’s head.
Walking up the stairs, Alyssa went straight into Dom’s outstretched arms when she reached the top. Stretching up, she kissed him and instantly regretted that they weren’t alone. Though she wasn’t experienced, her mind had played out in vivid detail all the things she wanted Dom to do to her. The feel of his bare chest and hard muscles under her fingertips sent a zing straight to her never used lady bits. She knew she was in trouble, and God help her she hoped Dom felt the same way because she would have a long boring life without the man standing in front of her.
Breaking the kiss, she looked at Dom with a come hither look and walked away towards the edge of the private pool. With her back turned to him she demurely looked over her shoulder trying to give him her best sex kitten come hither look and untied the knot holding her sarong in place. As the material fell to her feet, she saw pure lust light up in Dom’s eyes and his mouth open almost as if gasping in the sight of her. Alyssa had to give it to Mia. She certainly knew what she was talking about with the bikini.
Frozen in place, Dom took in Alyssa’s barely there swimsuit. Her perfect heart shaped ass on display and her curvy breasts begging to break through the tiny triangles holding them in place. He felt the blood instantly rush south and had to think of every unsexy thing he could to keep from embarrassing himself in front of his sister.
“Like what you see, big boy? Come and get me.”
Dom didn’t have to be told twice. Dom wanted to play it as cool as Danny Zuko in Grease but the sixteen-year-old Dom wanted to hold Alyssa and touch her. Dom followed Alyssa into the water and pulled her into his arms before landing a searing kiss on her lips. The fog of lust, that had engulfed his brain was broken by the sound of his sister laughing.
“Told you it would do the trick. So, you like the swimsuit, big brother?”
“You are a little mischievous, Mia. This has you written all over it.”
“Thank you, but do you need anything before Nikki heads back down? Bourbon, water, condoms…” Mia said with a laugh.
“How about you go with her and leave us alone for a little bit.”
“And miss the exhibition? Not a chance.”
Fuck Dom had wanted nothing more than to take Alyssa and he was so focused on her that he forgot they weren’t alone nor were they in private. He definitely didn’t want their first time to be a public spectacle.
“Sorry if I got carried away,” Dom whispered.
“It takes two, but I kind of like the cave man version of Dom. I half expected you to throw me over your shoulder and carry me to an empty cabana.”
Dom laughed at her sentiment. If she only knew how close to the truth that was she would probably run the other way. He swam over to the edge and retrieved the two glasses of champagne Mia had set down for them. Returning to Alyssa, he was awestruck by her beauty, and hard as steel as he watched the rivulets of water fall down her shoulders and over the small triangles trying to conceal her breasts. He wondered if his mother always knew that Alyssa was his destiny. She’d hinted at him that the time would come when he would have his opportunity with Alyssa. Even if she didn’t know for sure then he had no doubt she was looking down from above and helping him finally find his destiny.
“You two enjoy yourself. I’m going to get a massage over here for the next ninety minutes. Have fun,” Mia said.
Have fun they did. Dom was able to be himself, just Dominic, not Don Gratale or Dom the boss. He was just a man enjoying the company of the most beautiful woman in the world. They laughed and drank, stealing little kisses and touches that served to heat his already boiling blood to near supernova status.
Dom pulled Alyssa to the edge and pinned her against the wall. His hands slowly caressing her arms as her lips worked her magic on him. He knew it wasn’t possible to get drunk on kisses but his mind was scattered as she kissed him over and over. When her lips broke the kiss and traveled down his neck he finally lost the battle with this cock and it blossomed into its full glory. He was glad the water kept it hidden from prying eyes. Dom’s hands came up and cupped Alyssa’s breasts. He felt her nipples pucker instantly at his touch. God she was so responsive. It just made him harder. As her lips went to work on his chest his fingers slid down and settled on her hip. He slowly stroked his fingers over her hip bringing them ever closer to the heaven’s gates of her sex.
