He Saved Me

Chapter 14

Ashton's Pov

I had already showered and Dominique told me to get dressed for dinner. I didn't know what to wear though. Dominique had bough me a lot of clothes but I didn't know if I should dress up or not. All of the people Dominique seemed to know wore suits and dresses but that was new to me.

"Ashton?" Dominique called knocking on the door.

The door slowly opened and there stood Dominique in a pair of light wash jeans with a t shirt and  a flannel. 

"I'm sorry Sir, I didn't know what I should wear. I didn't want to embarrass you." I mumbled, looking down at the carpet.

"Would you like me to help you?" Dominique asked.

"Yes Sir, please!" I yelled excitedly, looking up at Dominique. 

I could tell I surprised both of us at the volume I choose to use. I lost my breath as I realized I could earn myself a punishment. Even if Dominique hadn't use his strength to hurt me yet he could just be waiting for my first punishment. He stepped forward and I instantly ran towards the bed and ducked behind it. I was shaking as I waited to be pulled away from my hiding place. InInstead, heard bags rustling and peeked up from the bed.

"I picked out your pants and a shirt but you can pick your own underwear." Dominique said as he walked out of the room.

I quickly grabbed the shirt and slid it over my head. Dominique was already dressed and ready, I didn't want to keep him waiting. 

"Underwear," I mumbled as I dug through the drawers.

Dominique and I had spent a hour or two filling the dressers in my room. I had been nervous at first, I didn't want to earn a punishment. I never had so many clothes before. I didn't want to make Dominique think I was ungrateful or a gold digger. Eric said all I was good for was spending his money. I didn't want Dominique to think of me that way. I didn't want to do those slutty things anymore. I held a pair of boxer briefs in one hand and a pair of panties in the other.

"Sir said the panties were hot," I mumbled.

I was starting to panic. My breathing was all over the place and I felt my eyes getting wet. Where's Dominique? Shit! Dominique was waiting for me. He was going to be so mad at me, he'll probably give me a punishment. I dropped the boxer briefs and pulled on the panties. I grabbed the pants Dominique chose along with the socks and ran for the door. I managed to get my pants on as I stumbled into the living room.

"Whoa, Ashton hey, slow down." Dominique said as he came to my side.

I jerked away trying to protect myself. I dropped to the floor to cover my head.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry Sir!"

It felt like hours before I slowly uncovered my head. Instead of standing over me with his fists raised Dominique was sitting across from me on the floor. He smiled at me but it didn't reach his eyes. I could tell how sad he was maybe he was realizing what a disappointment I am.

"Hey, you look really good in that outfit. I think I made a great choice in picking you." Ashton said as he slowly reached out his hand.

It still was hard to breath but I felt myself smile. Dominique. He always said things that made me feel happy. I saw myself reach out and take his hand.

"Come here baby," Dominique mumbled as he pulled me into his lap.

He situated me in his lap so his head was resting on top of mine. He gently took the socks from my hands. He gently took my right foot and pulled my sock on.

"There ya go, next foot," Dominique whispered into my ear.

He picked up my left foot and pulled my sock on.

"We ready to go baby?" Dominique asked.

He stood up pulling me up with him. I suddenly felt shy as he was looking down at me. Dominique did such a good job to take care of me. 

"Thank you, Da- Sir."

My cheeks were instantly on fire and I kept my eyes to the ground. What was I going to call him? Daddy? Why in the world would I call Dominique that? I'm so stupid!

"You're welcome. Ready to go see Finn and Jacob?"

Dominique was still smiling at me and once again reached out his hand. I quickly slipped on my shoes and we were out the door.

Dominique's Pov

"Here you go Jacob, one apple pie," I said as he opened the door. 

Ashton was hiding behind me as Jacob ushered us into the house. 

"Finn! They're here!" Jacob yelled as he rushed back into the kitchen. "He got home late again, he was just getting a shower before you guys showed up."

I watched as Ashton looked around taking everything in. Their house was pretty amazing as Jacob seemed to be a great chief and decorator. 

"So Ashton I didn't know if you were picky or had any allergies. I heard you liked chicken so I made a marinated chicken. I also made a salad as well as bread and a few side dishes."

"Oh uh thank you," Ashton mumbled.

He was still standing half behind me but peeked out to speak to Jacob. I could tell he was nervous but I didn't know how to ease his nerves. I tucked him into my side and although he was rigid at first I felt his hand attach to my shirt.

"Hey guys!" Finn called as he entered the kitchen.

"Oh babe, I was just telling Ashton I hoped he liked what I prepared. Seriously Dom you need to learn more about him. I could have made his favorite dinner but you don't even know it."

I rolled my eyes at Jacob's words. He always thought he knew everything. Always thought that he was right and needed to add his two cents to the discussion. 

"After dinner the doms can talk and we'll talk alright Ashy?" Jacob asked as he placed tongs in the salad bowl. "Bring the food, let's eat."

I squeezed Ashton's shoulder and sent him a smile. 

"Let's eat," I whispered.

Finn had already taken a plate over so Ashton and I brought the remaining dishes. I sat my plate down and than took the bowl from Ashton. I gently took his hand and pulled him to the remaining chairs. Ashton sat very rigidly on the end of his chair. I could feel Finn staring between Ashton and myself. When Ashton's breathing started to change I pulled his chair close to mine. I gently rubbed his knee trying to calm him.

"So Ashton, do you like chicken?" Jacob asked.

I snapped my head up and shot him daggers. 

"Yes," Ashton answered shakily. 

I sent him a smile and held his hand.

"Here you select first," Jacob said as he slid the plate to Ashton.

I felt him go rigid again so I picked up my own fork and served Ashton.

"How rude of you Dominique, I swear I don't know why anyone would want to be in a contract with you."

"Jake, that is enough. You are not setting a very good example for our guest," Finn said using his dom voice.

"Yes sir, I'm sorry Sir Dominique," Jacob said with his eyes downcast. 

I nodded my head and continued to serve Ashton and then myself. 

"So today at work a girl came in with her boyfriend. She ended up with mono and then a few hours later another by came in with mono." Finn said relieving some of the tension in the air.

As Finn continued to talk and Jacob joined in Ashton began to relax. He sat back in his chair and began to eat. I removed my hand from his but kept my leg intertwined with his. From time to time throughout dinner Ashton would grab onto my leg. I did my best to offer him comfort and he made it through the dinner surprisingly well.
