Chloe
I POP MY ear buds in, putting the music on low so I can still hear my surroundings, and I watch Dom going hard on the free weights. Even with Jack Beats Knock You Down in my ears and running at a steady pace on the treadmill, I can’t seem to peel my eyes away from his reflection in the mirror. And that kiss… Oh my. I’ve definitely never been kissed like that before. It was like no one else in the world existed. He could have taken me right there and I wouldn’t have had a second thought about it. My dream did not do him justice. My mind should be more focused on my surroundings right now, making sure I’m safe, but I can’t help watching his muscles ripple as he pulls the weights up and down. And I really believe that I’m safe with Dom here.
My eyes meet his and I watch Dom’s eyes go wide as someone taps me on the shoulder. I jump out of my skin and almost fall from the treadmill terrified. I glance over to see James the personal trainer standing next to the machine. I regain my balance and curse under my breath, pushing the button on the treadmill to slow my pace. My heart races for a few seconds, a combination of fear and a reaction to the alarm on Dom’s face. I breathe a huge sigh of relief and take my ear buds out.
‘Hi, Chloe right? Sorry I didn’t mean to scare you.’
‘Yep that’s me.’ I ignore his apology. ‘Did I forget to fill something out on the sign in?’ I question as I see Dom putting his weights back and heading this way. I saw the way Dom looked at James when we arrived and he thinks I didn’t hear his mumbling on our way to the machines. I know he doesn’t have much like for this guy. Does Dom maybe think he works for Patrick or something?
‘No, no. Everything was fine. I just wanted to stop by and see if you’d like me to spot you on some of the weight machines over in the enhancement area? Maybe show you the proper way to use the equipment?’
‘The only thing you’re going to be showing her is your back as you walk the fuck away.’ I hear Dom growl from behind me. His arm comes around me as he turns the treadmill off. I hop off and entwine my hand through his, realising he’s just jealous and not worried about the guy in a dangerous sense. He glances down at me and I can feel the calm wash over him with just that simple gesture.
‘Let’s just get out of here, big guy?’ I bat my eyelashes at him as a way of encouragement.
‘Okay, yeah let’s go. There’s this little hole in the wall deli a couple streets over that has the best pastrami around.’ And with that, we make our way out. I spot James the trainer in my peripheral and he looks none too happy. But hey what can you do? For all intents and purposes, Dom and I are together and I’m alright with that.
The gravel crunches under our feet as we take a back alley to the deli shop Dom’s suggested. Our hands haven’t come apart and every few feet he stops to kiss me, as if he just can’t get enough. I don’t blame him because that’s all I want right now too. I feel like a high school girl with a crush that’s finally come to bloom.
We stop at a random black door with the smallest sign that says Marty’s Deli on it and he pulls me through the door. Any other time I would feel apprehensive to go into a place like this, but I know Dom will keep me safe, he already does.
‘What looks good?’ he asks me over his paper menu, after we’ve grabbed a corner booth. He thinks I didn’t notice him scout out a spot to sit where he can see all exits, but I did.
‘You said the pastrami is delicious, right?’
‘Best in the U.K.,’ he states simply.
‘Alright, pastrami on brown seeded for me, please.’ Dom goes up to the counter and puts our order in. I can’t help but peek at his ass as he walks away. It’s like he was sculpted perfectly just for me. Round, plump, I’d like to bite into it. I duck my head real quick as he turns and catches me checking out his ass. When I chance a peek back his way, there’s a panty melting smile plastered on his face. Thank God I’m sitting because my legs feel like they turned to pure jelly.
‘So what’s the plan?’ I ask as he takes his seat and divides our food between us.
‘You meaning for today or for this whole situation?’
‘Well I did just mean for today but now that you mention it, I would like to know if there is any game plan for all this craziness? I’m so tired of putting you and Nan in danger. It’s not fair to you at all. I need to leave you guys alone and go back to my regular life.’ I gaze out the window and his hand comes to rest on mine, the sensation of his thumb rubbing back and forth fills me with warmth.
‘You want to leave?’
My eyes jump back over to him and I can see a mixture of hurt and concern on his face. ‘No no, I didn’t mean it like that.’ I bring both of his hands into mine. ‘Dom, I’m really attracted to you. Over these past weeks, I’ve come to love being with you, Nan, and even Zoe has become a closer friend than I ever expected.’ My eyes fall to the sandwich in front of me, willing it to give me strength. ‘But the truth is, I’ve been thrust upon you. I’m stuck in your house, beyond my control, for reasons neither of us created. I was kidnapped by men who could have killed me and probably still can.’ I raise my eyes back to his. ‘You’ve been my saviour and still are. But, imposing in your home and bringing danger to your door, that’s where it crosses the line. I would have loved to meet you outside of this ordeal so this thing between us could blossom instead of either of us having our doubts because of what we’ve been thrown into.’ He pulls his hands from mine and rubs one hand down his face.
‘You have doubts?’
‘No, not really, but I was worried you might? It would just really help if we knew what our next move is? What’s going to happen next? My dad has been no help whatsoever and this is his damn mess!’
‘Chloe, let me just say this. I don’t have doubts. At all. And everything is going to be okay. We will work through this and we will do it, together. I promise I will do everything in my power to not let anyone hurt you or Nan. You guys are safe with me. Just give it a little more time and trust me.’
‘I do trust you, Dom, and I will stay. But please promise to be honest with me about what’s going on if anything happens at that place.’
‘Will do.’ He takes a bite of his sandwich which ends our conversation on the topic. ‘I’ve been meaning to ask, where’s your mum at in all of this?’ He throws out with his mouth still half full.
‘She’s been gone awhile. It’s just been dad and I for quite some time, but that’s a story for another day.’ My excitement about my delicious looking pastrami sandwich evaporates as I look down at it. My appetite has gone. So I just get up and start gathering the garbage to toss.
He grabs my hand and we head out the door towards home. It’s only a few streets away and when we get up to the door he stops and turns towards me.
‘Chloe, I care about you, and fuck, am I attracted to you. I just want to be real clear that it’s not this situation that’s brought that about for me. The first night that I saw you, when I was in the ring, I felt it. That’s what pushed me to follow and see what was going on. I know this isn’t the ideal time, but when this is all over I’m going to take you on a date, that okay?’ I don’t respond. Instead I pull his tall frame down to mine and plant my lips on his. Could he be the first one I give everything to? I pull his bottom lip into my mouth and nip gently until I feel his tongue poke out to soothe it.
We break apart at the sound of someone clearing their throat only to look up into the doorway and find Zoe stood there with a big ole smile plastered on her face.
‘Alright you two lovebirds, break it up. Nan wanted to know when you’d be getting back. She’s starting to get antsy and is going through all her old recipes. And you know how crazy the kitchen will get if we let her cook.’

Dom
Trying to get my nan down from her crazy high is a task in itself. I’m trying to wrestle the whisk and bowl from her as she flicks through her recipe cards with her free hand.
‘Nan, we don’t have the ingredients to bake today, I need to go to the store.’
‘Oh, well then will you get me what I need for an almond cake please?’
‘Sure, sure. I’m going a little later on, but right now I need a shower, why don’t you go up to bed and have a nap?’ It’s a long shot but when she’s in this state of mind it’s the best thing for it, because nine times out of ten she wakes up a lot better. Chloe is standing in the doorway a little unsure of what action to take. I smile as I finally get the whisk free from Nan’s hand.
‘I am a little tired.’ She smiles at me.
‘Okay Nan, let’s get you to bed.’ I roll my eyes at Chloe as we pass and she smiles.
‘I’ll be in the shower as soon as I’ve put Nan to bed. If you need one too I don’t mind sharing.’ I shoot her a wink. ‘I’d hate for the hot water to run out,’ I whisper. Her eyes widen and she bites down on her bottom lip. I’m not sure if I’m pushing my luck, but fuck it, I’ve been skirting around it for long enough now. And I’m hoping she joins me.
I get Nan into her room and it takes about ten minutes until I get her settled with her telly on and tucked up in bed. As I make my way to the bathroom, I grin as I see Chloe leaning up against the wall by the door. I stop and tilt my head as her tongue peeks out and wets her lips. And that’s it I’m done. I move in covering her mouth with my own. She tastes so fucking good; her hands roam up my chest and around my back pulling me in closer. I reach around and pull her ass in so her body is flush with mine. My hard on undeniable between us. Her breath hitches as I end the kiss.
Opening the door, I pull her in. Lifting her onto the sink vanity, I capture her mouth again. Her hands slide up my arms and then down my stomach where she grabs the hem of my t-shirt and pulls it up, I shift away and lift my arms for her. Her eyes widen as she takes in my chest and each tattoo. I give her a few seconds before I try and get her equally undressed. Her arms raise as I lift her top, giving me access to her more than ample breasts. I stop and stare at her small lacy black bra, and my mind goes to thoughts of a matching set. I don’t wait, or even ask permission as I latch my lips around her nipple through the thin material. Her moan only spurs me on further and I push both cups down under each breast giving me unfettered access. I pinch one nipple between thumb and forefinger while I swirl my tongue around the other. Her head goes back against the mirror and her eyes close as she mewls from my touch. I pull back and put my fingers into the band of her shorts. Waiting, asking for permission. It’s granted as she lifts her ass off the counter and allows me to pull them over and down. Leaving only a thin slip of material covering her pussy. I groan as my dick tenses at the thought of what’s to come.
I step back and take her in completely. So fucking beautiful. Her eyes open and she looks at me with a gaze full of need. I drop to my knees and her hand covers the place I want to be. Frowning I try to move her fingers.
I hear her giggle. ‘I need a shower before this goes any further, Dom.’
‘The fuck you do let me in.’ I try again, her giggles fill the small room.
‘Hell no, Dom I’ve been to the gym, let me clean up first.’ I groan and roll my eyes, making her giggle again. I get to my feet and strip her thong from her body and move to her bra, flicking the hooks open.
‘Wow you’ve done that before, huh?’ I don’t answer her. Nothing good could come from that conversation. Instead I take her mouth again and lift her into my arms. I pull my shorts and boxers down with one hand while holding her weight with the other. I kick them off before stepping into the shower and I turn the tap on. Cold water cascades over us.
‘Fuuuck.’ I grit out through clenched teeth. While Chloe laughs her ass off. It warms up pretty quick but I barely notice because I’m captivated with her lips. I let her go to her feet, sliding her down my body, my erection standing proud between us. I reach behind her grabbing the shower gel. Squirting just enough into my palm I rub my hands together and start at her shoulders. Getting the sponge, I move it over her skin in slow circular motions and as her eyes close, her head rocks back against the wall. She mewls again setting my body on fire. Her fingers roam down my chest and to my vee, almost grasping my dick, but I stop her. I want to make sure I’m cleaned up first too. I sponge her down and as she frowns and starts to protest about not being able to touch my dick, I drop the sponge and use my fingers along with shower gel on her pussy. Chloe stops her protest as quickly as it began as my fingers toy with her entrance. I take some more gel and get to my knees, as my nose hits her bare pussy I take my dick in my hand and rub the gel in. As I lap at her pussy she moans in relief. Her eyes closed, her head tilted to the ceiling.
‘Look at me,’ I demand as I insert a finger. She does and as I pump faster and flick her clit with my tongue her eyes don’t leave mine. She starts to pant and it isn’t long before her walls start to clench around my finger. I flick faster and harder and as she goes over, I replace my finger with my tongue and lap up her arousal. It’s then I realise I haven’t got any condoms in the house. I stand resting my forehead against hers and wait as her breathing comes back to normal.
‘Fuck me you’re hot,’ I tell her honestly.
‘That, what you just did… that was hot.’
‘Chloe, I can’t tell you how much I need inside of you right now, but I don’t have any protection, sorry.’ I’m so fucking mad at myself.
‘Me too but…’ I watch her get to her knees her hands slowly moving down my body until she grasps my cock in her hand. ‘We don’t have to stop,’ she whispers then takes my dick and swirls her tongue around the head. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuk that’s good.
