Dive into Temptation [ManxBoy]

21. Possessive Brother in Law

A/N: Here's another chapter I had to turn into two. Not sure how soon I will get the next part up! But enjoy some more of Dom being possessive in this one!

The club's vibe was electric, a stark contrast to the anxiety brewing inside me. Lily had once again managed to sneak me into one of her gigs, this time allowing me to venture into the audience, since the club wasn't checking IDs post admittance. She had already performed, and thankfully there had been no slow songs to incite a dance from Dominic. Since her show was over though, a new band played, filling the club with more lively music. Most people danced on the floor, a few ambled around the outskirts, where I currently stood, an observer in a world that felt increasingly alien.

Dominic, who'd been hitting the bar throughout the night, was a little more drunk than usual, dancing out there with Lily, both lost in the music. Their laughter cut through the loud beats, striking me right in the chest, making me feel left out. I had a feeling Lily was going to be the designated driver for the night. I watched them from my quiet corner, and I couldn't help but feel isolated, my own sobriety a barrier to my own relaxation. Dominic hadn't bothered to slip me a drink this time.

Things with Dominic were getting complicated. He was taking charge more, acting like, well, a dom, and strangely, I found myself... enjoying it. It was a confusing tangle of feelings, part of me liking the thrill, another part questioning it, and feeling immense shame. It was like walking a tightrope of emotions, and I wasn't sure which way I'd fall. He was driving me crazy.

This was all a new experience for me; My sudden plunge into adulthood. It was overwhelming. Ever since I moved in with Lily and Dominic, my life had taken a sharp turn into something strange. It's probably what everyone goes through when they leave their parents' place, but for me, it felt like I was losing a piece of myself. Dominic was tainting me, turning me into an unrecognizable person. The only thing that remained constant was my anxiety; everything else was just so... different.

As I stood awkwardly on the sidelines, a total stranger caught my eye. He was tall and stood out in the crowd, and wasn't bad looking. He kept shooting me interested glances, and every time our eyes met, I felt flustered, awkwardly standing there holding Lily's bag while she was off dancing with Dominic. After a few minutes, the man finally decided to make his move. As he approached, it became obvious he was older, probably his early thirties, but he still had charm, still hot for an older guy.

"You look a little young to be here," he said with a playful smirk, somehow recognizing that I was not yet 21. "Not that I'm going to tell on you."

I looked at him, feeling slightly suspicious, but the man seemed harmless.

"I'm here with my sister and her husband," I gestured to the dance floor where I caught Dom's murderous gaze. I refrained from rolling my eyes at him. Of course he was keeping an eye on me. The man followed my finger, and then looked back at me.

"Yikes," he said, clearly noticing Dom's expression. "You can dance with me, if you'd like,"

I shrugged. "I can't really dance," I said, which was the truth.

The man just chuckled. "Allow me to show you how," he said, grabbing my hand. I felt my face heat up at his boldness and he pulled me onto the dance floor. "Just follow my lead," he said, a mischievous smile on his lips. He started nodding his head along with the music, his body starting to move along too.

The man looked kind of silly, and I couldn't help but shake my head, trying to hold back my laughter.

"C'mon!" He laughed, seeming pleased to see my smile.
