Chapter 139: You Brought Back My Excitement
Chapter 139: You Brought Back My Excitement
Camilla
"When did you set all of this?" I asked, pleasingly astonished at the unfairness of this all.
Passing me my drink, I gratefully accepted it as I pulled some of the cover over my lap, smiling as he joined me in the bed.
"I did most of it before I picked you up but Gregorio and Adriano also stopped by just a few minutes before we parked to make sure everything was still set up the way I wanted it to be."
He really thought about this, it was undoubtedly sweet. Although I will admit it was a gift I never would have expected. Setting my glass down beside me on the dock, I shifted to him but let my eyes travel up to the stars above.
"Don't you guys ever get jealous of each other." I asked.
Honestly, I have always wanted to ask that but never get the opportunity to do so. I knew he wasn't offended by it and would answer truthfully as he wrapped an arm around my waist just to hold me a little more.
"You know you are the first girl we have ever shared, right?" He said, planting a kiss on the top of my head.
I remembered one of them telling me that Adriano had never stayed to see them before and I knew I wasn't the only one having to get used to new adjustments for our relationship.
"Mhmm," I hummed in response.
"Well, when signing that contract with you, we weren't exactly sure how things were going to play out. We didn't know if what we had was something that would be long term or not but all it took was that first night with you to it would be."
My mouth parted ever so slightly as I heard him place his drink down, only to tilt my chin until I met his. Even once I was looking at him, his touch remained.
"We have been with many partners at the club but none of us have dated in years. All our relationship never ventured farther than one night stands and repeated public scenes for purposes of training and demonstration."
It was a little weird to hear about his past in that way but I was surprisingly more interested than jealous. He is mine now and that is what matters.
"Adriano was never even interested in sharing until you came into the picture but I am sure at the start, if he could have kept you for himself, he would have."
I feel like confusion must have been showing on my features as his thumb brushed against the side of my cheeks, his eyes watching for my reaction I would offer up.
"So how did we get to this point then?" I asked, a little surprise at his words.
At the same time, at first glance, Adriano didn't exactly seem like the type to share to me either.
"Honestly, it came more naturally than any of us expected. We have you, we have each other and somehow it has just worked."
Yes, we truly worked. Crazy to think it was that simple but I guess it was.
"Although…" he began with a smile.
"It pains me to know that you are thinking about other men on our date."
I knew he was teasing, so I teased back, shoving him lightly away to reach out for my champagne glass. But before I could even react, my breath wad whooshed past my lips, Domenico pushing me onto my back before moving to hover over my body. My legs instinctively spread, widening the width of his hips to fit snug against mine.
"Hey!" I laughed, not being able to stop him as he reached over me, grabbing my glass and bringing it to where my head rested.
"No date of mine should have to serve herself." He said, moving the half filled drink to my lips.
"Allow me, darling."
He left me breathless as the sweet liquor poured into my mouth, slow enough that I could take a steady sip without spilling. I couldn't stop smiling as he eventually pulled the glass away, his eyes left mine.
Well, that is until his gaze traveled down to my lips and likely the slight remains of the drink across them. One second, our eyes reunited and the next they were fluttering shut in pleasure as our mouths lightly brushed against each other.
His touch was more intoxicating than any amount of alcohol I could drink and right now, I was spinning with lust, happiness and every little part he had to give. The contact between the two of us was gentle and brief but when he eventually pulled back from my lips, the lazy smile he gave me had me offering one in return. I like this a lot.
"I know I have already said it, but I am really proud of you for today." He said against my lips, his warm breath fanning across my cheeks.
My face flushed at what I am assuming to now be a shade of pink at his comment. Biting just the edge of my bottom lip, I ended up leaning to plant a kiss to his jaw in response, his body rolling to lay next to mine and pulling me with him.
Within a second, he was tucking me under his one arm, my head fitting into the crook of his neck and resting against his shoulder.
"You put a lot of trust in me, in all of us by saying yes, darling and I wanted to thank you for that."
Lifting myself a little to look at him, I found his eyes already trained on me in sincerity.
"You don't have to thank me." I tilted my head to the side, my gaze trailing over the light dust of freckles across his cheeks.
My trust in him was earned, not simply given. My heart fluttered at the small chuckle he let out, as though he believed otherwise.
"You are the best thing that has ever happened to me, Camilla." He whispered, his hand moving to cup the side of my cheek in affection.
"I know those are only words but I mean it with every part of me."
His hold on not only my body but also my heart made sure I knew that there was not a bare inch of falsity in the statement spoken like an unspoken promise.
"They are not just words." I said, my fingers brushing past his forehead to run through his hair.
"I don't know where all of this is coming from, but this means more to me than you know, Domenico."
I continue to look up at him, his curls parting beneath my touch and his body seemingly to relax from the slow motions.
"All three of you saved some part of me over this last month." I said, extremely aware of just how true that was after saying it loud.
"You brought back my excitement."
Gregorio, my humor. Adriano, my affection. There was so much more they have been able to do for me but the way Domenico was speaking right now was as if he had never get the chance to say it if it wasn't now and It made me a little nervous. Although, it did amaze me a little how I could visibly see how my touch alone was making him feel a little more grounded.
"I brought back your excitement?" He asked in question, setting up slightly and brushing a strand of hair behind my ear.
"Mhmm," I gave him a small nod.
"For almost the entirety of my life, I have struggled to be able to piece together what a future for me may look like."
I swallowed but offered a smile to show l am fine. I really truly was because Domenico is here.
"At first, I wondered if I would end up like my mother, an alcoholic married to a man just as abusive and miserable as she was."
It sounded horrible but the truth was very rarely pretty.
"I don't resent my father for leaving me with her, once he realized how bad things were. He even took me with him as he traveled for a little until I was old enough to take care of myself."
I caught the small tightness that appeared in his jaw at that, but I wasn't sure if it was from the mentioning of my father or the how bad things were part.
"And how old was that?" He asked, no judgment in his voice, just interest.
"I was almost seventeen but my father was never exactly the best guy to be around for social popularity. He had a lot of enemies and made it very complicated for someone simply trying to make it through high school."
He didn't like the reality of that answer, I could tell but Domenico kept quiet.
"Anyways, I guess I worried a lot that nothing would ever end right for me. So many people have left me in my life, I think that is why a huge part of me stayed with Robin for so long and overlooked just how bad he really was."
That was hard to admit but I had been trained to be a hell of a lot stronger than what I was with him. I suppose, however, abusive relationships never start bad.
