“I’ll be back in a second,” I tell Dom and Mattie when they turn to look at me.
“Where are you going?”
I look at Dom and sigh. “I just need some fresh air. I’ll be back in a second.”
“I’m coming with you,” Dom says stubbornly.
“What? No. There’s no point. I just need—”
“Babe, the bar is crowded tonight. You need a man at your back. Raze is takin’ a piss, so you get me.”
“Dom, I’m a grown woman. I can go to the little girl’s room without a chaperone,” I huff.
“Thea, sweetheart, don’t argue that you’re a grown woman if you’re going to call the john the little girl’s room. Now, c’mon.”
“Anyone ever tell you that you’re annoying?” I complain.
“Once or twice,” he replies, not missing a beat.
I let him go with me, mostly because he has his hand on the small of my back and isn’t giving me much of a choice. I do my best to ignore the searing sensation of his touch on my back.
I’m not sure I succeed.
Chapter 15
Dom
“What’s going on with you?”
My jaw tightens at Thea’s question. I try to figure out how to answer it. I don’t think she’d appreciate it if I tell her that while she’s trying to convince Breaker that I’m just a big brother to her now, I’ve been having more sex dreams about her than a forty-year-old virgin with blisters and calluses on his damn hands.
“Your brother pissed me off. Where does he get off questioning what our relationship is? Does he think I’m not good enough for you?”
“Uh…what?” she squeaks, but I ignore it.
“I know I’ve had my head in my ass most of my fucking life apparently, but damn it, Thea—”
“Dom, let it go. Mattie is just overprotective. He knows how I used to be about you, and he was worried. He doesn’t get it was a lifetime ago and things are different now.”
Why does it feel like she just kicked me in the fucking balls?
“Yeah,” I say, clearing my throat. “We’re here.”
“You really don’t have to stand and wait for me. I’m a big girl.” I don’t respond, I just stare at her. “Fine!” she huffs. She turns to the door and frowns. “It’s locked.”
The club owns this place and we both know there are several stalls in the bathroom—which means the entrance door never locks. “Looks like someone is getting lucky,” I explain with a smirk.
Thea’s eyes dilate and then she opens her mouth, closes it and then a giggle bursts out. “Ew, gross.”
“Gross?” I shake my head, laughing along with her.
“Sex in a public restroom? Yuck.”
“I would have thought a woman would find that hot, knowing her man couldn’t wait till they got home to have her.”
“Well, first of all, if it’s at a place like the Wolf’s Den, it’s most likely a drunk hookup.”
“Not necessarily. I know one couple that hooked up in the back office and have been together half their lives. Still just as happy today.”
“Dom, if you’re about to tell me a sex story about my parents, I may have to kill you.”
The mean look she gives me makes me laugh harder. “Nope, not your parents, mine.”
“Uncle Dragon nailed my aunt in the office?”
“Yep.”
“I don’t think that’s information I should have ever had,” she mumbles.
“C’mon, I’ll take you into the office—”
“You’ll what?” she squeaks out.
“Get your mind out of the gutter, Thea. There’s a bathroom in there.”
“Oh. Yikes, I’m sorry.”
“What for?”
“For suggesting you wanted to take me there to, well… you know.”
“To what?” I purr.
She slaps my arm. “Stop being a goofball. Let’s go to the office. I really need to pee.”
“Our conversations are just so sexy,” I sigh out.
I put my hand back against the base of her spine, turning us to go to the other restroom. I’m grinning down at her, loving the way she’s rolling her eyes at me. Thea never puts up with shit from anyone and damn, I like that. I’ve gotten so used to club candy, or random women just wanting to get it on with a member of the club that I think I’ve forgotten how good it feels to be real with someone. I used to think I had that with Gabby, but I know that’s not true now. If Gabby was the person she pretended to be, she would have never lied to me. If I hadn’t been so intent on trying to prove I hadn’t wasted a huge chunk of my life on a woman who didn’t deserve my trust and faith in her, I probably would have caught on a lot sooner. Thea was right for telling me I should have let no one come between me and T. I was weak and it’s a fact that I’m still coming to terms with. We turn the corner, heading toward the office, when we both hear the door to the restroom open. As if we’re on the same wavelength, we both stop walking.
