Dominic

Chapter 78 (Just revised)

Camille

I'd never known that a week could go so quickly,  but this one sure did.  My father had arrived on Wednesday so we went to dinner with him and spent the rest of that day and all day Thursday spending time getting to know him and I enjoyed it so much. 

 All of the awkwardness was gone and as far as I was concerned he was my father and I, his daughter. His face beamed with such pride when Dom had told him that I was going by Camille Giovanni now.  

We talked some more about Italy, his home there and the family that I had there. It seems that dad has a younger sister, Abrielle, and an older brother named Lino. Both siblings are married and I have six cousins from them; two girls and four boys. 

He also told me about a little property that he has in the country, something he purchased to help out a family that was struggling, and that he'd done a lot of work to it to make it livable. I told him I couldn't wait to see it sometime and he just smiled his killer smile, saying he couldn't wait for that day either.  

I had also asked him if he was seeing anyone and he said that he had a lady friend, very sweet person, he just didn't know if he was ready to take that next step, but what kept him drawn to her was the fact she didn't push for more; she seemed to really enjoy being with him and not in a rush to take their relationship to the next level. I told him he'd better hang on to her, that women like that were very hard to find.

Friday got here just a little too quickly so Dom and I stayed in bed all day, soaking up one another, because Saturday Cassie and I would be going to stay with Valentina and I wouldn't see him until Sunday at 11 a.m. We had made love many times but it was always followed by meaningful conversations. I loved him so much because I knew I could talk to him about anything. 

One of the many discussions that we'd had was there was no reason for me to continue taking the birth control pills.  We both wanted children and it didn't matter when it happened; this made me happy.  My body was molded into his as he stroked and kissed the skin of my shoulder; laying here like this was one of the many things that brought me peace, knowing he was here and not going anywhere. 

"Do I make you happy?" I asked softly, shuddering as his hand ran down the length of my leg.

"Incredibly" was his short answer but it told me what I needed to hear. 

"Do I make you happy, bella?" he asked. 

I rolled over to face him, putting my hand up to his beautiful face and said "Si', mi fai felice (Yes, you make me happy)."  He scooted closer to me, pulling my leg over his hip and started kissing me.  It was a tender and sweet kiss, no urgency to it, just a beautiful showing from two people who obviously adored one another. "Make love to me, baby" I begged as I felt him slip into me once again.

We unpeeled ourselves from each other long enough to eat but when we were finished with our meal, we were right back up in our room.  He told me to go lay down while he started the shower and I just gawked at his naked body as he walked into the bathroom, thinking that I would never get enough of him. 

"Come on baby" he said dragging me from my thoughts. "It's time to get you wet" he smirked and generally looking pretty proud of the double entendre he'd just made. 

"Dear God, Dominic!" I said sputtering. He just shrugged his broad shoulders as he clasped my hand and led me to the shower. 

Normally he would just take me against the shower wall while my legs were wrapped around his waist but this time he wanted me on my knees, taking me from behind; grabbing my hair and pulling back he thrust into me making me scream out his name several times. When we were finished he took me into his lap and we sat talking until the water started to run cold and we were wrinkly.

It didn't take him long to dry off and get dressed, he just pulled on black joggers and climbed back into bed while I decided to blow dry my hair, apply lotion and then dress in a cute little flowery cotton nightie. 

Joining him in bed, he'd turned the lights down and had John Mayer playing in the background. I laid sideways on our bed, with my head in his lap so I could look at him while we talked. 

"I was thinking" I started to say. "About our vows." 

"What about them?" he asked curiously. 

"Do you want to go with traditional ones or do you want to do our own?" I replied. 

"Hmm, well to be honest I hadn't thought that far ahead" he said. "What would you like to do?" he asked. 

"I kind of wanted to write my own, you know? There's nothing wrong with the traditional ones but they don't cover my sentiments. Does that make sense?" I asked him. He entwined his fingers with mine as my left hand rested on my hip. 

"It makes perfect sense" he replied. 

"Do you have any idea of what you want to say?" I nodded shyly at him and smiled.  "Yeah, I do. It's going to be really mushy" I joked as I pulled him down to me. 

Hovering right above my mouth he whispered "You are too much, Cam." I nodded, biting my lip.

"But you love me anyway, right?" His answer came in the form of a very sweet kiss.
