Free Guns n' Boys Book 1 Part 1 by K.A. Merikan

hair looked impossibly strong and healthy. As much as Seth had
mocked Dom’s long hair as a kid, now he considered it yet another aspect of
Dom’s sex appeal.
    “Well, you have to eat,
just like any other animal.”
    Seth grabbed the
sandwich, since he didn’t know when the next time he would eat was going to
come. “Might as well. I’m tired. Can’t we go shopping?”
    “No, not at this hour.
Wrong country,” chuckled Dom as he pulled his shirt over his head and
carelessly dropped it to the floor.
    Seth inched away, as if
the rays of hotness would hit him, and he would succumb, falling to his knees
and revealing his own sexuality in the process. “Yeah, I… what?” He didn’t
really get what Dom was saying, focused on his fit body with quite a few scars
scattered all over his torso. “What about tomorrow?”
    “ What about
tomorrow?” repeated Domenico, pulling one chair away from the table and closer
to the bed. He sat on it, back to front, hugging the backrest with his firm
thighs.
    “I mean… It’s Tuesday.
Is someone following us or something?” Seth bit into his sandwich, trying to
think unsexy thoughts. Mold on the ceiling. Nah, he still had the hots
for Dom.
    Domenico crossed his
arms on top of the backrest, flexing the muscles that seemed packed impossibly
tight into the sleeve of his olive-colored skin. Raven black hair fell over one
of his shoulders, caressing one side of his face. “I don’t know yet. Better
keep your head low and let me know what you want from the store.”
    “Why can’t I go?” Seth
inched back on the bed with his mouth full. He wanted back some control over
his life. He wasn’t a baby. The way Dom’s eyes followed his moves made Seth
feel like prey, and he hated enjoying it.
    “No. I’m responsible for your safety, and for now
you aren’t to leave this place without me.”
    Seth looked down at his
sandwich, feeling patronized. He was freaking twenty-six. He looked at the wall
to avoid ogling Dom’s stomach. “So this girl we’re gonna watch, Vera, she lives
close?”
    Domenico smiled and
nodded at the window. “She will be returning home soon. You might take a look
if you like. Apparently, she often forgets to draw the curtains when she
changes.”
    “Yeah?” Seth lay back on
the bed and looked at the window. “Free peep show?”
    “That’s what I heard.”
    “Yeah, ’cause what do
you care about titties. Only chauffeurs for Domenico Acerbi.” Seth snorted and
licked the breadcrumbs off his fingers.
    Domenico spread his
hands with a small smile. “You watch her, and I’ll take my time watching you. A
circle of energy. She can watch me if she wants.”
    Seth frowned. Did Dom
just joke or was there something he didn’t get? “You can’t watch me like that .”
    Domenico sighed. “What
do you mean ‘you can’t’?”
    “It’s just… it’s wrong,”
Seth finished flatly, unsure how else to explain it without revealing his
newfound family knowledge. He looked out the window, though he couldn’t care
less.
    “I’d like to watch you.
I showed you some of my skin, why don’t you reciprocate?” said Domenico in a
conversational tone.
    Seth groaned and tucked
his T-shirt into his jeans. He liked them tight, but now he regretted how short
the garment was. “No.”
    “Aw, that’s so cute. Are
you shy, Villani?” chuckled Domenico, resting his chin on top of his forearms,
which he folded on the chair’s backrest.
    Was Dom flirting with
him? Seth swallowed, uncomfortable with his new roommate’s confidence. How
could the bastard be flirting with a straight guy? “It’s not ‘cute’. I don’t
wanna be ogled.”
    Domenico grinned,
leaning back, which showcased his hard torso and stomach. The guy wasn’t bulky,
but he was all muscle, like a wild cat. “News flash, Villani, you’re always
gonna be ogled.”
    Uncomfortable was Seth’s
new middle name, but being as big as he was, there was nowhere to hide. “Not by
guys.”
    “Yeah? You
