Flashlight (Rhea Ripley X Dominik Mysterio) Book 01

Ch08-Connection

In the hour that it took for Rhea and Liv to finish the laundry Dominic had still not returned. She, Liv, and Finn had taken showers but still no Dominik. Now she was pacing in the cabin, eyes moving to her watch.

"Ok it's 4:30 and he's still not back, that's fuckin sketchy."

"Or he's out partying with those two babes, like we should be." Liv sighed, head hanging off the side of the top bunk, legs flat against the log wall as her fingers drummed her exposed belly.

"Sans the babes." Finn and Damian piped.

The shorter man kissed his lover's cheek before resting his head back on the man's chest.

"You guys can go."

"Rhea, we're not leaving you here alone." Liv sighed.

"Look, I'm feeling better. Everyone is looking sexy, let's just-"

Knock-Knock-Kn-Knock-Knock-Knock!

Rhea rushed to the door and pulled it open, body relaxing when she saw Dominik's smile. Droplets of water roll down from his hair and onto the black collar of his The Mysterios shirt. He had traded in his loose gray sweatpants for loosely fitted pale olive-green cargo pants and his sandals for classic Timbs.

"Wow you look nice." He said, dark eyes drinking her in.

She was wearing a pair of black and white air force 1s with black joggers. Her perfect abs were on full display thanks to her white crop top, but she also had on a black, white and gray plaid button-down

That's mine!

OH, MY FUCKIN GOD RHEA IS OUR FRIEND CHILL THE FUCK OUT.

I was talking about the shirt Asshole.

"Is that my shirt?" He inquired, grabbing the bottom corner of the button down.

"Oh....uh.....I hadn't realized." She stammered with a blush.

She closed the gap between them before wrapping her arms tight around his waist, hands gripping the back of his shirt.

"I was worried sick about you, why didn't you answer your phone?"

"Oh, fuck I forgot to take it off do not disturb. I'm sorry, I'll be more aware." He explained as he gave her a tight squeeze then kissed her temple.

She took a deep breath reveling in his scent; Cardamom, sandalwood, bergamot, caramelized cedar, and honey. Her body melted into his arms as she kissed his chest and rubbed his back.

"How was your date?" Liv asked, causing Rhea to go rigid.

"Date?"

"With Taya?" Finn added.

"That wasn't a date she and Layla took me on a tour for a hundred bucks and a signed T-shirt each. Oh, that reminds me I got us reservations for dinner theater at 5. We can all fit in the RV."

Liv squealed and ran over to them, joining in on the hug before passing them and running to the Van.

"Are you ok though."

She nodded while Finn and Damian got up. Slowly Rhea pulled away but made it a point to lace her fingers through Dominik's.

"When did you ask for the tour?" Damian asked.

"In the Cabin."

"Why didn't you invite us?"

"You said you wanted to take a shower and I knew Finn wasn't leaving you. Liv mentioned needing to do Laundry, I figured it would get done faster if Rhea helped....is it done?"
