Chapter Thirty-Six

“You gonna stick by me?”

“Maybe…”

“C’mere, baby,” Dom whispered as he gathered me up in his arms and carried me into the bathroom, sitting me down on the counter as he started running water in the tub.

“Dom,” I laughed, almost forgetting the pain I was in. “What are you doing?”

“Well…” he said slowly, “I read something in a magazine a while back that they said helps with cramps…so I thought maybe we could try it out and see if it helps you any…”

“And…what exactly are you gonna be doing to me?” I asked.

“Just wait and see,” was all he would answer.

“Okay then…will you at least tell me what magazine you read this in? I mean…you‘re not gonna be using me as a guinea pig for some weird experiment you read in Road and Track where you pour motor oil on me or anything, are you?”

“Uhm…it was Cosmo,” Dom said quickly, like he was embarrassed or something, not even looking at me or anything.

“Cosmo?” I said, a huge grin on my face. “You read Cosmo? No shit…”

“Hey now…” he said, “Mia went through the garage and got rid of all the old car magazines…there wasn’t anything else around to read…”

“Sure,” I laughed. “I totally believe you. You know you read it every month, as soon as it comes in the mail… I can just see you fighting Mia for it…”

"Are you done yet?” Dom sighed, walking over to stand in front of me.

“Maybe…”

Even before I could finish my sentence, Dom was pressed against me, his lips finding that spot on my neck as his hands pushed their way under my shirt.

“This…needs to go,” he said slowly, pushing my shirt up over my head and flinging it into the corner.

His shirt followed just a few seconds later. Almost before I knew what was happening, Dom had lowered himself into the tub and was helping me in after. I sighed as I sank into the warm water, settling between his legs and leaning back against his chest.

“This…I could get used to this,” I said lowly as Dom lightly massaged my shoulders.

“You like?” he laughed, leaning down to kiss my neck.

“Yeah…I like…“ I murmured.

“You feeling better yet?”

“Depends…” I said slowly. “You gonna stop if I say yes?”
