Bellissimo Angelo - Book Three

Chapter 9 - My Protector

After we finish watching the sunrise, he runs his hand across my back, "Are you ready to go, Bella?" he asks. 

God, I don't want this to end, but I reluctantly nod my head. He takes my hand and helps me up before leading me to his bike. I climb on the back behind him, and he takes off down the road. 

We arrive at Tito's parking lot a few moments later next to my car, and I jump off the back of his bike, "Thank you for the ride, Dominic." I tell him. 

He flashes a sexy grin, "You are working tomorrow, right?" he asks. 

"Yes, I work the next few nights, and I'm off Friday and Saturday," I respond.

"We do this again tomorrow? I want to see you every day that I can."

My cheeks begin to flush, "You do?" I ask.  

He snickers, "Yes, you make me so weak, Bella. I enjoy spending time with you." He responds. 

"Does Alisha make you weak?" I ask curiously. 

He laughs out loud, "Not at all. She is very loud and obnoxious. I prefer a woman who's quiet and shy. Plus, I have a thing for blondes." He replies as he raises his brow, casually shrugging his shoulders. 

I cover my face with my hands, attempting to hide my embarrassment, "Oh, so that is why you threw her number away." 

He reaches out and pulls me to him, wrapping his hand around my waist, "I want your number, not hers. You sing like you did the night before last; I will not be able to control myself." 

I nuzzle into his shoulder, "If you want my number, all you have to do is ask."

"Maggie, may I please have your number?" he asks. 

I flash a shy smile, "Sure, give me your phone, and I'll put my number in." 

He reaches down into his pocket and pulls his phone out, handing it over to me. I input my name and phone number into his contacts before handing his phone back to him, "Thank you for tonight, sweet Maggie." he says. 

I reach out and wrap my arms around his neck, planting a kiss on his lips. He whispers into my ear, "Fino aquando ci incontriamo di nuovo."

Oh, God! I love it that he speaks Italian to me. I cross my legs to calm the storm arising between them, "What does that mean?"

"It means...until we meet again." 

I gasp, "Wow! You are something else. Goodbye, Dominic." I tell him as I spin around and stumble towards my car door. 

"Goodbye, sweet Maggie," he responds. 

I opened up my car door and jumped inside, turning the ignition to start my car, I wave goodbye to him as I pull out of the parking lot. He watches from his bike as I speed off down the road.

The ride home was a blur as I'm so consumed with thoughts of what took place tonight. Like I mentioned before, what I did tonight is completely out of character for me. I'd never just have sex with some random guy out of the blue. I have only been with one man my entire life, Nate.

I always heard that Latin lovers are the best lovers. I had to test that theory tonight, and holy shit balls, that theory is tried and true! Now, what do I make of all this? Can I honestly carry on just a physical relationship with Dominic? I'm sure going to give it a shot! He certainly knows how to please a woman without direction. I'm going to fantasize about this man for the rest of my life. Wow! I'm shaken to my core over him. 

It's daylight when I pull up in front of my house. I hop out of the car, trudge up the porch steps and enter through the front door. Momma was cozied up on the sofa with her afghan, reading a magazine when I enter. She places her magazine on her lap, "Hey sug, what in the world were you doing out so late into the morning? I was about to start worrying," she calls out as Chloe greets me at the door, wagging her tail.

I chuckle and reach down to pick her up, pressing my cheek against her ear, "Sorry, Momma. I went for a ride with the hot security guard after work. I just kind of lost track of time."
