A/N: Hi reader. Smut chapter here before things start getting a little serious plot-wise. Enjoy.

The three of us were chilling under the covered part of the patio, enjoying the shade. A gentle breeze brought in the earthy scent of bamboo. I was nose-deep in my school textbook, Lily was engrossed in a romance story at the pools edge, and Dom... well, Dom pretended to read a book, but his eyes kept wandering to my shirtless body. I had just come back from a swim, sporting my bright orange swim trunks. His hungry gaze scanned my exposed legs, and I tried to act like I didn't notice as I turned to the next page.

But then, in a hushed voice, Dom broke the silence. "You were a naughty boy last night at the club," he said, barely above a whisper.

I looked up from my book, feeling a bit uneasy with Lily so close, still reading by the pool's edge, oblivious to our conversation. "You were too," I mumbled, remembering how possessive he had acted.

"Don't get cute with me," he replied with a sly smile, clearly amused by my response.

I didn't think he would dare do anything with Lily just a few yards away, unable to hear us. He couldn't even speak too loudly without her noticing. Plus she was facing us, so he was limited to talking quietly.

"Or what?" I challenged, a superior smirk on my face, knowing he couldn't do much with her right there.

But then, he suddenly called out, "Hey babe?" My smile immediately faded as Lily looked up from her book.

"Yeah?" she responded, not moving from her spot.

"Would you mind going to the store to get stuff for that cranky soup that I really like?" he asked, his voice dripping with sweetness.

My eyebrows shot up in alarm. Lily smiled, pleased that Dominic was craving her specialty dish. She got up and headed over to him.

"Of course, my dear," She said, her smile spreading across her face as she settled onto his lap.

Dom's arms closed around her, pulling her into a grateful kiss that landed sweetly on her lips. He then turned to me with that all-too-familiar smug smirk.

"Maybe grab dinner for tomorrow night, too," he suggested, his gaze holding mine, knowing he was going to have his way with me. I swallowed nervously, desperately trying to find a way out of this.

"Sure," Lily agreed, then glanced my way. "Wanna come with?"

I was immediately relieved, about to nod before Dominic cut in.

"Actually, he's going to help me clean the pool," he said, a mischievous twinkle in his eye.

"No, I'm not. Please save me," I pleaded, and Lily let out a small laugh.

"I wouldn't dream of interrupting your brotherly bonding," she teased, thinking I was just trying to dodge the chore. She rose to her feet.

"What about our bonding?" I tried again, but she just chuckled and shook her head. "Come on, take me with you!"

"I'll be back before you know it," she assured, giving Dom a parting kiss and ruffling my hair affectionately. I watched as she disappeared into the house, my stomach sinking. What had I gotten myself into?

Dom couldn't contain his amusement. "Told you not to get cute with me," he said, and I couldn't help but scowl, arms folded in protest.

"It's like she wants you to fuck me," I grumbled, annoyed at being left behind.
