I looked at her possessively before grabbing her by the nape of her neck and pulling her closer to me, our lips a breath away.
"You are mine. Only mine. Understand?" I gritted out and she nodded slowly.
"Good. Because I'll fucking kill any man who l...

"So what do you do, Nicholas?" Her father asked me when we had started eating. I felt Dove stiffen beside me and I put a hand on her thigh to comfort her.
"I own a few businesses around the world." I said and he nodded.
"Do you run them all?" Her mother asked and I nodded.
"And what about the train of men that follow you around where ever you go? Her dad asked and I looked at him.
"Being rich and powerful has its perks, But I also have many enemies. They follow me around for my safety and for anyone with me." I glanced at Dove meaningfully and she smiled at me. Her father hummed in response.
"But can I just say that your hands are magic? This dish is delicious! Don't you think so Dove?" Her mother spoke after a while and Dove choked on her wine and I smirked.
She was thinking exactly what I was thinking.
"This dish is amazing." Her mother told me with a warm smile my way and I felt oddly pleased to hear the praise. It felt good.
"Yeah, its really good." Ava pointed out and everyone agreed with her.
The rest of the dinner was spent in a comfortable environment. We talked casually and it felt nice to have dinner like this for a change. Everyone loved Dove's brownies and the rest of the dishes were equally good.
We settled in the living room after dinner and decided to watch a movie while her parents went to sleep. Dove and I got comfortable on the couch, with her legs on top of me as we enjoyed our wine.
I saw her friend Liam eyeing us suspiciously out of the corner of my eye and I pulled Dove closer to me, placing a kiss on her head as she relaxed into my side.
I won't let him near her.
Somewhere in the middle of the movie everyone had passed out and what started as an innocent kiss on the cheek turned into a whole make out session.
My hands snaked under her sweater and she gasped when my cold fingers made contact with her bare skin.
I started drawing patterns on her skin while kissing her neck and my hand cupped her breast, massaging it gently.
"Nico." She whispered and bit her lip.
"Shhh, you don't want everyone to wake up, now do you?" I asked her and she shook her head as I kissed her lips again. We pulled away breathless and I gazed into her beautiful eyes.
She pulled away from me and got off my lap, sitting back in her place and throwing her legs on me.
"So, I'm going to pretend that didn't just happen because if we go any further we might wake the house up." She said and I smirked, putting a hand on her leg and squeezing once.
