Bound by my blood

Bonus Chapter 1- Dominico

*2 months after the epilogue*

My gaze is irresistibly drawn to her as she gracefully spins around the pole, her body a fluid extension of the music that pulses through the club. With a breath-taking flourish, she descends toward the floor, her thighs taut with strength just moments before she lands, halting her fall with precision mere feet from the ground.

A hushed awe envelops the entire club, as patrons—both men and women—find themselves captivated by her performance. Ryder had often mentioned that she was the crowd's favourite, but after five years of her dazzling routines in his various clubs, I had never had the chance to witness her artistry until now. And now, I sit entranced.

Her hands grip the floor, perfectly aligned, as she balances delicately on them. In an astonishing display of flexibility and poise, her legs gracefully split mid-air, drawing gasps and applause from the crowd as she hangs in that suspended moment, a living sculpture of beauty and strength. The scrappy piece of lingerie barely hid her from the crowd and I curse.

I loathe the way men gaze lingeringly at what I hold dear, their eyes trailing after it with a possessive hunger. Yet, she finds joy in her part-time job here, a passion that lights up her face, so I choose to keep my thoughts to myself.

Reese playfully waves her legs in the air, showcasing her balance and strength, before expertly tumbling out of the handstand and  starts grinding provocatively against the pole. Earning some whistles from the crowd.

I feel a jolt of tension at the sound, causing her to smile knowingly down at me. My hands instinctively start moving, almost as if they have a mind of their own, and her gaze sharpens with intrigue. In a swift gesture, I sign my desire, inviting her to take that bold step with me tonight. Reese bites the inside of her cheek, her eyes widening as the meaning of my words sinks in. A chuckle escapes my lips, but it fades quickly when I catch the spark of mischief dancing in her eyes.

With agonizing slowness, she saunters towards me, a confident sway in her hips. The men around us hoot and call for her attention, but she remains blissfully indifferent, focused only on me. My gaze remains fixed on her as she circles me, her presence enveloping the space between us.

She runs her delicate ring finger—where her engagement ring glistens proudly—across my shoulders, sending a delicious shiver down my spine. "What are you doing?" I breathe out, surprise lacing my tone as she gracefully swings herself over my lap, our connection tinged with an exhilarating tension, so she is straddling me.

"Why wait until later?" She giggles as her lips brush my ear. I lean back with my hands behind my head as she starts rolling her hips into me. She continues circling her hips against my crotch. Her mouth parts slightly the only sign that she is getting off on this shit.

For a fleeting moment, it almost appears as if she might turn away, slipping into the shadows of the club. But then, she makes a deliberate shift, her body flowing gracefully as one long, elegant leg glides lightly against mine. The contact sends an exhilarating jolt through my entire being, heightening my senses.

"Go on, Angel!" calls out one of the other girls, her voice slicing through the charged atmosphere as the music transitions to a new, rhythmic track, promising the spark of something extraordinary. In that instant, I realize that this little minx had planned the moment, her cheeky sideways glance at her friend revealing the delicious mischief behind it all.

Knowing the rules, I keep my hands clenching the seat to stop myself  from grabbing her and taking her right there in front of everyone for teasing me. Deep down I know she would probably enjoy the attention through.

She sways gently on my lap, her movements fluid and captivating. As if drawn by an invisible force, she leans her head against my shoulder, her hair brushing softly against my skin. Her hands glide down the front of her body, tracing delicate patterns that send a rush of warmth through me.
