Chapter 56

TAYLA

Dominic didn’t stop, even as I climaxed. He kept going until he let out a yell, signaling his own release deep inside me.

He held himself up with his hands on either side of my head, his weight on his arms, as he gave a few more gentle thrusts.

Suddenly, applause echoed in the room, followed by the horrifying flash of a camera.

“Just a little insurance,” the man’s voice echoed.

He rose from his chair, grinning at us.

“Get dressed. My guys will take you back to town.”

Back to town?

The man left, and as I looked up, Dominic’s lips found mine in a slow, lingering kiss.

Still inside me, he kissed his way down my neck, then back up to my lips.

“I’ve wanted to fuck you for so long, princess,” he confessed.

“You didn’t have a choice,” I replied, my voice tinged with sadness.

“Is it wrong that I want to screw you again right now?” he murmured, his breath warm against my skin.

He moved his hips, his cock reaching deeper inside me.

I whimpered.

He kissed me again, and I gently pushed against his chest.

“I want to get out of here,” I told him.

He nodded, slowly pulling out of me and pulling up his jeans.

Dominic handed me my top, and I slipped on my thong and jeans.

Immediately, I felt the wetness of our combined release soaking through my thin thong. I grimaced.

Evidence of my betrayal and Dominic’s guilt.

Walker and Hayden would surely want Dominic’s head for this!

Even though he had no choice, even though he did it to prevent me from getting shot.

I knew how possessive they were of me, and I knew this wouldn’t end well for Dominic.

Dominic shrugged on his leather jacket, and once we were decent, he took my hand and led me out of the office.

The thought of Dominic dying because of me felt wrong.

But the way he had fucked me felt right?

What was wrong with me?

Why did I get involved in this?

What did you expect?

They’re bad boys for a reason!

Hayden and Walker wouldn’t be able to handle the fact that I enjoyed fucking Dominic, and I couldn’t handle the thought of them killing him for it.

This was all my fault!

But what if Walker and Hayden didn’t want me anymore?

What if fucking Dominic had changed how they felt about me?

What if they just dumped me?

My chest tightened, and I felt like screaming!

Dominic led me back to the creepy thin man, who smiled at us.

“Here are the lovebirds. Same time next week then?”

Dominic nodded, and the two men who had brought us stepped forward.

We followed them back to the car and climbed into the back seats.

It was late afternoon, and I wondered if Walker and Hayden were wondering where I was?

Would they care once they found out what had happened?

Dominic’s hand fell on my leg, and I closed my eyes, as if in pain.

This man could end up dead because I thought I was doing the right thing by wanting to protect the men I loved.

Loved?

I loved them?

And now I had completely fucked things up.

I glanced over at Dominic and saw he was looking out of the window, his expression sad.

“I’m sorry,” I whispered to him.

He turned his head and looked at me.

I saw the torment in his eyes, and I knew he was thinking about his last hours left on this planet.

Maybe I should be doing the same?

I wasn’t entirely sure if they would shoot me too, given their reputation?

More than likely it would be Hayden.

He was unstable enough, but what would this do to him?

The surroundings became more familiar as we pulled up outside the cinema where we had been picked up, and we both climbed out of the car.

One of the men slapped my bottom, and Dominic lunged for him, pinning him to the car.

“Mine!” he growled at him, angrily.

He kneed him in the gut, making him double over.

His friend helped him back into the car, and they sped away, leaving us alone.

“I should get you back,” he told me.

“Dominic? They will kill you,” I said, scared.

“I did what I had to do to keep you safe, princess. Besides, I’d rather be shot by them than that perverted fuck back there,” he told me.

“This isn’t right,” I said, feeling tearful.

He shrugged his shoulders.

“It’s not like you have any feelings for me?”

I opened my mouth, but a sob prevented me from speaking.

Dominic wrapped his arms around me and held me against him as I cried.

“It’s okay. I knew there would be a price to pay,” he said.

How could he be so okay with this?

“I can’t…let this…happen,” I cried.

I couldn’t go on knowing I was going to be the cause of death for this man when all he did was protect me?

I felt in my back pocket and was relieved when I felt my phone was still there.

“I have to get you home,” he said, with a final squeeze.

Time to face the judge, jury, and executioner, I thought.

We walked down the street, and I noticed we were walking towards Dominic’s car.

“I need the bathroom,” I told him.

He frowned.

“Can you hold it?”

I shook my head.

“I’m all wet and sticky,” I said, pulling a face.

Dominic looked around.

“There’s a cafe over there. Be quick!”

I nodded and walked fast over to the cafe and pushed open the door.

I asked the owners to use the bathroom, and they showed me it out the back of the cafe.

I locked the bathroom door and sat on the toilet, trying to think straight.

I couldn’t do this!

I couldn’t go back!

Knowing what Walker and Hayden would do?

And then there was the fact that they might not want me anymore.

Pulling out my phone, I called Jess.

“Tayla!” she yelled, down the phone.

“It’s okay. I’m fine, but I need your help,” I told her.

“Where are you?”

“I’m in town. Can you pick me up?”

“Of course I can.”

“Listen. I’m going to need more help.”

“Tayla? What’s going on? Should I call Walker?”

“No! I’ll explain once you pick me up, but I’m going to need you to take me to my mom’s.”

“Tayla, what the hell happened?”

Tears started streaming down my face.

“Can you remember where Tony’s is?”

“I do.”

“Meet me in the parking lot. I’m coming!”

The call ended and I got up, my gaze landing on the window above the toilet.

I climbed up, unlatched the window, and hoisted myself up.

There was a bit of a drop, but it wasn’t too bad. I let myself fall and landed on my butt with a thud.

I looked around and found myself in a small garden. I headed towards the back where there was a gate.

I slipped through it and found myself in an alleyway.

I walked down the alley and emerged onto a street not too far away. I quickly made my way down the sidewalk.

I kept glancing over my shoulder for Dominic, but he was nowhere in sight.

I had to get away.

I had gotten myself into a mess and screwed it up. Now, like Dominic said, I was going to pay the price.

After a few minutes, I reached Tony’s. In the parking lot, I spotted Jess’s car.

I sprinted towards it and she got out, catching me in a hug.

“You damn fool! I warned you not to follow Dominic! Are you okay? Are you hurt?”

“I’ll explain everything once we’re on the road,” I said, rushing to the passenger’s side.

We both got in and Jess started the car.

“Vinehall is a three-hour drive. Are you sure you can take me?”

“Not a problem. Now spill it.”

For the next half an hour, I told Jess everything. I told her how Dominic had to sleep with me to prevent me from getting shot, and how I was now terrified that Walker or Hayden would kill him.

I confessed how scared I was of their reactions and how I couldn’t bear the thought that I had screwed everything up.

“So, what’s your plan now?” she asked.

“I’ll do what I’m best at.”

She glanced at me.

“I’ll run.”
