Holy shite.

"What are you thinking about?" Dominic asked me while the nurse was out getting me some painkillers and a slip for me to hold for my X-Ray when my name was called later.

"I'm thinkin' that you're dangerous, and that havin' you in me life would be doin' what Branna always wanted me to do, open up to someone. You're a risk that I'm thinkin' of takin'."

Dominic stared at me for a moment before he stepped forward and moved himself between my legs. "You want me?" he whispered.

I swallowed my pride. "You have to work on not makin' me so mad but yeah, I want you."

He cupped my cheeks with his hands and strummed his thumbs up and down.

"I'm not sayin' I'll be your girlfriend right away, I'm sayin' that I'm open to the idea."

He raised an eyebrow. "So I'm on a trial basis with you?"

I nodded. "Exactly, I just want to feel out how this could work with us before I put a title on us, is that okay with you?"

"Can I kiss you whenever I want?" he asked.

I rolled my eyes at him. "No kissin' in school because I'm not ready to deal with any of that drama, especially after what happened with Destiny, but in private? Sure."

"I'm fine with it then."

With that said, Dominic crushed his mouth to mine and forced his tongue into my mouth, making me gasp and grip his arm with my good hand.

I barely had a chance to kiss him back because suddenly his body and mouth weren't pressed against mine anymore. I opened my eyes and found he was across the room with a female on top of him, swinging her fists down on him.

The female was my sister, and she was beating the shite out of him.

Fuck!

"Are you sure you don't want to press charges, sweetie?"

I shook my head and scrubbed my face with my good hand while the female Garda asked Dominic the same question for the fifth time. She was young, twenty-five at the most, and was smiling and nodding her head at him every time he spoke, then cooing over him like the new nurse was when he winced over the needle digging into him while she stitched the cut under his eye that Branna's ring caused when she socked him.

"He already told you he doesn't want to press charges against me sister, why are you being so repetitive?" I asked the Garda, the snarl in my voice not going amiss.

The Garda snapped her gaze to me and glared. "It is me job to ask the victim of attacks these types of questions more than once to make sure they are solid on their decision."

Yeah, sure it was.

I scoffed and asked, "Is it also your job to flirt with said victim while his girlfriend is sat right next to him?"

The Garda had the decency to flush while the nurse stitching up Dominic's under eye went deathly quiet and stopped her cooing over him when he made noises of pain.

"Listen here, I wasn't flirtin'-"

"Yeah, you were, but you might as well give it up; he isn't interested in you. Right?" When I looked to Dominic, I found him already watching me, which made my insides jump a little because his gaze was dark, and it was entirely focused on me.

"Right." He grinned just as the nurse finished up his stitches and moved away from him but only by a couple of inches.

I nodded to him then looked back to the Garda. "See?"

The Garda was about to go off on me, but she stopped and gawked as Dominic cleared his throat then stretched his arms over his head, which caused his biceps, triceps, and all his other 'ceps to flex and contract. He was bare chested because Branna ripped his top when she 'attacked' him, and he had to throw it in the bin. I wasn't bothered by this, because he had such a sexy torso that I enjoyed getting the chance to admire it with my eyes.

Only my eyes weren't the sole pair doing the admiring and for the first time ever, I felt extremely jealous and extremely possessive of him. That's why I was pissy with the Garda and nurse; they openly raked their eyes over his body and shamelessly flirted with him while I sat right next to him. They mistakenly took me for his sister at one stage, which was fucked up. Dominic was smoking hot but he wasn't a damn God, I wasn't unworthy of possibly being his girlfriend no matter what anyone thought. He had flaws that his looks didn't cover, and I had been the one turning him down for the past few weeks, so clearly it's not as far-fetched of an idea as these women thought it was.

"Your tattoo is gorgeous," the nurse's voice said breaking me from my thoughts.

The Garda nodded her head in agreement.

I had a feeling I was about to be arrested for slapping both these fools upside the head if they didn't quit while they were ahead.

"Thanks ladies, my girlfriend agrees with you both." Dominic smiled and put his left arm around my waist.

Both the women openly frowned at his gesture, and it made me roll my eyes. They looked like they were given a puppy only for it to be taken away again.

"Is he finished here?" I asked the Garda and the nurse.

They both nodded even though I could tell they didn't want to.

"So can we leave then?" I asked, my tone completely snotty.

The Garda cut her eyes to me. "Do you have a problem-"

"Yeah, she does," Dominic cut the Garda off and smiled to her. "She sprained her hand a few hours ago and hasn't had any painkillers yet. We're collecting them from the twenty-four hour chemist on our way home as soon as I'm done here."

The Garda smiled to Dominic again, and I inwardly cursed her. She was clearly crap at her job if it all it took was a good-looking lad to distract her.

"I'll discharge you now," the nurse beamed to Dominic.

I rolled my eyes wishing the nurse who wrapped up my hand earlier was here instead. She was cool and not perverted like this young nurse.

"I'm done here, too, unless you do want to press charges. We can take this down to the station if you do."

I fucking bet she would just love to take him somewhere she had easy access to handcuffs!

"No thank you, I'm set on my decision." Dominic smiled again.

The Garda nodded, said goodbye, and then left the room.

I fumed quietly for a few moments until I felt his eyes staring at me.

"What?" I mumbled without looking at him.

"You're so fucking sexy," he growled and leaned into me, latching his lips onto my neck and sucking.

My body jerked as I jumped up away from him.

"Stop that, anyone could walk in here!" I scowled.

He only grinned at me. "Like I care, you being jealous and possessive of me has me hard as diamond. I fucking love this side of you."

Hard as diamond?

Oh, God!

"Dominic," I gasped as I felt the blood rush up my neck to my cheeks.

He laughed at me. "You're going from sexy as fuck to adorable as hell. You're killing me here!"

I glared at him. "I'm about to kill you if you don't cut this out, I don't like it."

"Why are you crossing your legs then?" he asked me, grinning.

I looked down at myself and inwardly scowled. I was crossing my legs, and it was only then that I noticed the aching pain between my legs. I absentmindedly closed my legs to try and ease the ache, and Dominic noticed.

"Shut up!"

He smiled at me. "If you come over to me, I'll take that ache away and turn it into immense pleasure."
