Free Beautiful to Me. by G. V. Steitz

down one side and up the other.
                  “What are we doing here?” I panted on the side of his neck, savoring the feel of his hands running up and down my sides of my t-shirt. I let go of a whimper as I felt his kisses pull away from my skin, leaving me feel cold from the loss of his heated mouth on my skin.
                  “Should we stop?” Dominic panted as he looked back with his heavy eye’s. I shook my head.
                  “Tell me then.” He said to me as he stop running his hands up and down on my, resting them on hips again. “Don’t stop.” I whispered. Dominic cupped my face and quickly and breathed into my lips, “thank God.” Then dove in to devour my lips. Dominic pulled away again, panting. “I have never been attracted to anyone as much as I am with you.” He confessed causing me to look down from his admission, making me nervous. “Ivy, look at me.” Was not said lightly. His voice demanded it and I eagerly looked back up at him, searching his eyes, his face for answers.              
                  “We aren’t doing anything you don’t want. Ever. That I promise you so at any time, you want to stop, we stop. Ok?” He stated with such determination I felt a shiver run through my body. I wanted to tell him what I was thinking. I didn’t want to doubt his word. I believed him. I don’t know why, but I did.
                  “I… I trust you Dominic.” I stuttered quietly. I just want to hold on to this moment for a little longer. Is that ok?” I ask, worrying he would change his mind but I needed to chance it.
                  “A little longer? Oh, we will be doing this many, many times after tonight sweet pea.” He said with a smile creeping across his lips, making me bite down on my bottom lips, smiling back at him.
                  “I warn you though, this doesn’t get you out of talking to me tonight. You have been warned.” He declared without any doubt in his tone. With a chaste kiss on my lips he leaned back on the couch looking at me. Making me squirm in his lap.
                  “What do you want to talk about?” I asked, tugging myself off his lap . Dominic just pulled me back down on to his lap.
                  “Where do you think you are going?” He asked me holding me in place. I shrugged.
                  “I see. So you still need me to give you a couple ideas of where you won’t be going?” He said and leaned into my face and began placing kisses gently on my mouth, carefully pulling me back into his arms, holding me close to his chest.
                  Just as we were getting back at it, Dominic’s phone rang out. “Hang on, this could be my parents. If I don’t answer they will track me down like a hound.” He said and I carefully pulled off of him, he reached in his pocket, got the phone out, and tugged me back into his lap before my great escape.
                  Ugh. Dominic threw his head back and answered the call. “Hiiiii Ma.” Dominic said with a long sigh. “Yep still with Ivy here. Yeah… Ma, I don’t know about me forcing her to come over by us and you swallowing her up hole with 50 questions…” He paused to listen to her speak as he rolled his eyes, making me smirk at the look on his face. “Yes Mom, I know you make a huge breakfast every Sunday. I know what you make Ma, you don’t have to recite them.” He told his mom in a huff making me bite down on my bottom lip and quietly chuckled. Then Dominic looked back up to my eyes, you could tell he was practically pleading to put him out of his misery. I thought I would help him out. Might help me in a way from getting too deep here.
                  “Can I speak with her? I asked softly making Dominic’s eyes bulge out like saucers. I thought he was going to pop a blood vessel. “Ma, oh brother… Ma,
