of another crazy ride and she had no idea where this was going to lead, but right now she didn’t care. Dominic was here, beside her, and that was all that mattered. Who he was and who he was related to, she had to put that to the back of her mind if this relationship was going to go anywhere. But, tonight, she wasn’t even going to think about that. She was just going to enjoy having him here.
‘We’re not in the spotlight now, though. Are we?’ He moved even closer, and India knew exactly where this was heading, there was no other way it could go. There was something between the two of them that neither of them could fight any longer so it was easier all round just to give in.
‘We’re always in the spotlight, handsome,’ India smiled, running her fingers gently over the stubble on his chin. ‘Everyone knows everything we do.’
‘Yeah, well, I kinda get a kick out of that – sometimes,’ Dominic smirked, letting his hand slide up under India’s strapless dress, and just being able to feel her skin underneath his fingertips was like receiving a fix of a much-needed drug after way too long without it.
‘Don’t you think we’ve already done enough in public?’ India asked, her heart now racing at a speed that was making her breathless, the anticipation of what was going to happen next filling her with an excitement akin to that of a kid on Christmas morning.
That movie star smile lit up his face once more. ‘Baby, we’re only just getting started.’
She threw her head back and bit down on her bottom lip as he kissed the base of her throat, sliding her dress up over her thighs, removing her underwear in one swift movement, even though he was shaking, if the truth be told. Dominic MacDonald really had never been in love before, and this was all a very new and very daunting experience for him, despite the fact he was about to make love – once more – to someone he considered to be one of the most beautiful women he’d ever had the pleasure of being this close to.
She was complicated, she was crazy, she had a past that he couldn’t even begin to understand with a man he’d just found out was his father – but he wanted her more than he’d ever wanted anything before in his life. He’d thought all he’d wanted was some kind of unexplainable revenge on Michael Walsh – for what reason? He hadn’t known Dominic was his son, so how could he have done anything? How could he have been there when he hadn’t known there was a reason to be? But all Dominic wanted now was India. He didn’t want revenge; he didn’t even care that Michael was his dad. He only cared about this woman here beside him.
Sitting back against the cushions he held onto her hips as she climbed astride him, straddling him, positioning herself over him, sliding a hand round the back of his neck as she looked deep into those incredible eyes of his. The eyes of his father, but she had to get over that, she had to. Or this was going nowhere.
‘We’re going to be okay, aren’t we?’ she whispered, her need to feel him back inside her colliding with that still-present wariness of letting Michael Walsh’s son get too close to her.
‘We’ll make sure we’re okay,’ Dominic smiled, gently tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, leaning in to kiss her slowly, and in an instant any still-remaining doubts just disappeared as that bubble they wanted to retreat back into cocooned them, giving them permission to finally move this forward, to go for it. To take this relationship where it needed to go.
India smiled back, reaching down to touch him, wrapping her fingers around him as his mouth touched hers again, the kiss getting deeper as he grew harder in her hand and it was all he could do not to lose control right there and then. But he needed to hold on, he needed to be there, inside her, to be a part of her and know that he was back in her life. Back where he wanted to be. In a body so beautiful it hurt to even look at it sometimes.
‘Okay, Mr Movie Star. Are you ready for this?’ she breathed, her mouth resting on his as she spoke. But she was already guiding him in, putting
