Protecting Her

Domenicos Pov

"What's wrong?" She asks as soon as I forced myself to pull away from her enchanting lips I couldn't help but need a taste of every time I see her.

"We can't" I reply while moving away from her only to stop when her small hands grabbed my arm.

"Please don't leave, I want to do it" She whispers as I turned to her with a raised brow.

She was looking up at me with those large doe hazel colored eyes that lure me in like a siren does to it's prey.

"Do what?" I ask not sure of what she's talking about.

I couldn't even try to take another step away from her when she pulled my arm around her bare waist before locking our lips together once again for the 3rd time in almost 48 hours.

"Miss-"

She continued to pull my body close to hers as our tongues battled inside our mouths. Her smalls hands and legs wrapped around my body quicker than I could comprehend.

"I need you Domenico" She whispers breathlessly while cupping both sides of my jaw.

"We can't" I reply unknowingly while continuing to let her plant kisses down my bare tatted chest.

"Please, just for tonight. I won't tell my dad or anyone else. I just really need you right now"

She pouts as I try to stop her from pulling me closer again. As much as I'd love to ravish this beautiful sexy young woman, I just couldn't.

I feel like I'm taking advantage of her. I mean, she's literally injured and was just manhandled by the man she's signed her life off to.

I could literally be a random man tending her wounds right now and any woman in this type of shock and situation like she was in would of course wanna jump onto that guy playing hero after saving her from what happened a few hours ago.

"I'll take you to bed, but I won't do anything else with you Miss De Leon" I say lifting her into my arms before she could protest.

She looked up at me disappointingly as I walked up the stairs with her in my arms only to have her looked back up at me with shock when she realized I passed by her bedroom door.

Laying her onto the bed in my room, I noticed she kept her eyes on me as I walked around the other side of the bed before getting into bed while putting the blanket over the both of us.

Of course I couldn't sleep with my insomnia, but I wanted her to go to sleep knowing I was beside her. Especially with what just happened to her a few hours ago, I didn't want her to go to sleep beside her drunk best friend while she was still shaken up about that assholes actions.

I took this job as her protector. Meaning, I had to do everything I can to make sure she was okay. Even if I had to force myself to be by her side as she slept. I may not be able to fall asleep beside her but I can be beside her in case she woke up in need of a shoulder to cry on or even an ear to voice out her worries on.

"Domenico" She says into the darkness of my room as I stayed still while facing my body away from her alluring laying behind me.

"Can I lay on you? I won't try anything, I just want to feel your warmth before I fall asleep. I know it's weird but I-"

Before she could finish her nervous rambling I turned onto my back and pulled her small body against mine so she can lay her head on my chest.

She wrapped her arm around my waist as my body stilled against the soft silk like feeling of her bare skin against mine. Her small hands were like warm pillows gently caressing my skin as I felt her body warm up against mine, fully putting her into a deep slumber on top of me.
